Bold and the Beautiful discovers Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) at a really low point this week because her marriage is on the brink of disaster, and her husband is spending time with Dr. Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig).
We’re going to talk about Sheila targeting Taylor because she’s terrified she is going to lose her precious Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan).
Bold and the Beautiful: Deacon Sharpe’s Trust Issues — Why He’s Furious with Sheila Carter
Right now, Deacon feels totally betrayed by his wife, Sheila. Of course, he’s furious because she didn’t tell him that lunatic Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) is alive. It’s clear that Deacon doesn’t think he can trust Sheila, and with very good reason.
Not only was she protecting Luna, her psychotic granddaughter who killed his two best friends, but also because Sheila knew that Luna targeted Will Spencer (Crew Morrow). If you remember, Katie Logan (Heather Tom) rented out Il Giardino for the party, so Luna attacked Will at Deacon’s place of business. This could absolutely ruin everything he’s worked so hard to build, and Sheila seems primarily to care about Luna’s future—not Deacon’s, the man she claims to love.
Bold and the Beautiful: New Romance Brewing Between Deacon and Taylor Hayes?
Now, Deacon is turning to Taylor for help, and she’s a well-respected therapist, so he feels like he’s going to get some good advice. Plus, Deacon feels better when he’s around Taylor. There’s definitely a vibe between them, and she’s a calming, rational influence.
This week, Deacon tells Taylor he needs her to help him, and she says she’s always there for him. Taylor even shares a hug with Deacon. And Sheila is stalking them — she gets a full view of that cozy moment.
Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila Carter’s Fury — Will Deacon Leave His Toxic Marriage?
There’s no doubt the growing bond between Taylor and Deacon is going to set Sheila off. This week, after talking to the doc, Deacon begins official therapy sessions with Taylor. It doesn’t seem to be couples therapy focused on saving his marriage, so Sheila has every reason to worry.
Deacon may want Taylor to help him get over Sheila and figure out how to walk away from this toxic relationship — all eight of her toes included. Deep down, Deacon knows he can never fully trust Sheila, not while Luna is alive or capable of coming back again.
Bold and the Beautiful: Is a Deacon and Taylor Romance on the Horizon?
The bond between Taylor and Deacon looks poised to grow beyond doctor-patient. It could develop into a friendship — and maybe something more. Official spoilers confirmed that Taylor will get a new relationship after her split from Ridge Forrester, (Thorsten Kaye) and showrunners hope fans embrace it. Whether it’s friendship or romance, most fans are rooting for sparks.
Given how much time Deacon and Taylor are spending together, and with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) hinting about fate bringing Taylor a new man, it’s likely that romance is in the air. Even if Deacon and Taylor remain friends, Sheila won’t like it one bit — and she might target Taylor for getting too close to her husband.
Bold and the Beautiful: Will Sheila and Taylor’s Rivalry Turn Violent?
If Sheila feels threatened, how far will she go to keep Taylor away from Deacon? Sheila might go full criminal and attack Taylor. These two could end up in a classic soap brawl after Sheila confronts Taylor for getting too close to her man. We know Sheila’s history — she’s been in plenty of fights before.
Taylor’s not much of a fighter, but she’s held her own in the past — throwing paint, cake, and even rolling around in fountains. If Sheila gets physical, Taylor won’t back down. They might end up in a real knockdown, drag-out confrontation.
That could be enough to scare Taylor away from Deacon. She might even refer him to another therapist and back out completely. And if Sheila really loses it, she might pull a repeat of her past stunts — like running someone off the road, as she once did with Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda).
Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila’s Darkest Revenge — Death or Deception?
Sheila might resort to something truly twisted. Remember when she faked a bear attack and left her toe behind to fake her death? She could do something similar but frame Taylor instead — making it look like Taylor was mauled or missing while secretly holding her captive somewhere.
Given Sheila’s violent history with Taylor, anything’s possible. She might even shoot her again, as she did years ago, when Taylor was presumed dead and vanished overseas. Sheila could repeat that dark piece of history — or sell her rival off to some shady prince again. Nothing’s off the table with Sheila.
Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila Carter’s Next Move — Destroying Taylor’s Reputation
Maybe Sheila’s version of revenge this time won’t be violent but reputation-ruining. She might destroy Taylor’s career by spreading rumors she’s sleeping with a patient. Even if that’s not true, Sheila could fake photos or digital evidence and get Taylor fired from her hospital job.
She might even rope Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) into helping her doctor up photos to make Taylor look guilty. If Taylor loses her medical license, she might leave town, do charity work, or lecture elsewhere — conveniently out of Deacon’s life.
When it comes to Sheila Carter, the possibilities are endless. If she thinks she’s about to lose Deacon to Taylor, there’s no telling what she’ll do. Hopefully, she takes the rare sane route — and just talks to Taylor honestly. But hey, this is Bold and the Beautiful, so we know that’s not likely!
