5 B&B Characters Who Should Be Nervous Right Now (And 5 Who Have Nothing to Fear)

Choosing sides and betraying loyalties has put B&B characters on edge. As Katie Logan’s fledgling fashion house, Logan, is set to rival the reputed Forrester Creations, Katie and Brooke are at war. To mitigate the heat, the sisters have made a pact about Katie not poaching any Forrester into her company. While Brooke correctly assumed that after they fired Will, the latter will join his mother’s company, she has no idea that her daughter, Hope, has secretly joined Logan. On one hand, Brooke awaits a major betrayal, while on the other, Sheila has resurfaced to blackmail Deacon and Taylor with the divorce papers, leaving the lovers jittery.

For weeks now, Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) has been relaxed about his new romantic journey. Before his wife, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) knew about his cheating, he was uncomfortable around her. He and his psychiatrist tried to hide their romance from the world. However, after Sheila discovered her husband’s betrayal, she moved out of his home and started settling in a new residence.

Unfortunately, Sheila has reemerged to disturb Deacon’s peace. She re-visited the romantic couple to blackmail them against the divorce papers. She refused to sign the papers if Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) did not speak in favor of Sheila with her daughter Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and her husband, John Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan), who is Sheila’s biological son. If Deacon wants a divorce, he must convince Taylor to give in to Sheila’s demands.

2) Taylor Hayes

In the continuation of the previous point, Taylor has much to worry about when it comes to Sheila’s threats. As B&B fans know, Taylor has been Sheila’s victim in the past when the criminal had shot to kill her. Currently, Taylor’s position is worse. She has wooed Sheila’s husband away from her exactly after Sheila transformed herself into a better woman for Deacon’s love.

Moreover, Taylor’s position is precarious because of her daughter’s wrath. Viewers will remember that Steffy had forbidden Taylor to pursue romance with Deacon for fear of Sheila. However, Taylor chose her love over Steffy’s words. Now, with Sheila blackmailing Taylor to help her reconnect with Steffy, Taylor will have to face her daughter’s fury on one side and Sheila’s revenge on the other.

3) Hope Logan-Spencer

Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) committed a huge betrayal by secretly joining her aunt, Katie Logan (Heather Tom), as the lead designer for Katie’s new company, Logan. Since its launch Logan has remained a bone of contention between Katie, and Hope’s mother, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). Disappointed with her mother for not being able to pitch her own promotion and Hope’s fashion line to her Forrester husband, Hope decided to jump ship.

However, Hope applied for a leave of absence to keep her decision a secret. As such, Brooke is unaware of Hope’s decision as yet and that keeps the latter on the edge. With Steffy declaring that Hope’s line at Forrester Creations, HFTF, has received a green signal, Brooke is excited about Hope resuming her role at FC. Unfortunately, Hope has left her mother blindsided and feels like a back-stabber.

4) Melissa Dylan

Soon, she developed a crush on Will but kept it down. Recently, Dylan moved out of Will’s home after getting a job at FC, while Will was fired from the company.

As Will and Electra reunited and the latter moved in with her boyfriend, Dylan found herself getting closer to Forrester scion, R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti). Although she promised her friend Electra that she would not date anyone in the office, she got carried away by R.J.’s advances. On the other hand, her cousin, Electra’s former stalker, Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) visits FC office in disguise to meet Dylan. As such, Dylan is holding too many secrets that leave her uncomfortable.

Having said that, she is as yet unaware about Hope jumping ship to their rival company, Logan. When she finds Hope absent from her own line, Steffy may be left shocked.

On the other hand, coerced by Sheila, Taylor may soon arrive at Steffy’s door to try and convince her to forgive Sheila. Taylor will likely urge Steffy to accept Sheila back in their lives and let Finn and Hayes (Brayan David Garlick) interact with the former criminal. Expectedly, Steffy will flip out at the suggestion, but may worry about her mother’s safety. As such, Steffy has more than one matter to be nervous about.
