"She's fighting to keep it in:" The Bold and the Beautiful fans react to a recent B&B post about Sheila, Deacon, and Taylor

The Bold and the Beautiful fans have varying reactions to a recent B&B post about the Sheila, Deacon, and Taylor triangle. The post asked the question, "Is Sheila reformed or will her past self come up to haunt her?"

Is Sheila reformed on The Bold and the Beautiful?

The Bold and the Beautiful's Deacon (Sean Kanan) and Taylor (Rebecca Budig) have grown close during his therapy sessions. But he has admitted that there is a "beast" inside Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) that will likely re-emerge at some point. Is he right? How do Facebook fans answer B&B's post about whether Sheila is reformed? Here are their opinions:

"With all the things Sheila has done, she is really trying. Sheila is married, in love, and happy. Y'all better leave her alone!" one Facebook user said.

"She's fighting to keep it in," another fan commented, "but the real Sheila is about to break free, and I can't wait."

"Her whole reason for sanity shouldn't hinge on Deacon," one user pointed out.

"There's no reforming any psychopath, in real life or soaps," one fan said. "They just try hard to lay low for a while until their true character comes out once again."

Still another fan said, "When a person keeps telling others that they have changed, they haven't. Sheila never really had any mental therapy."

There's something we all need to remember. If Sheila does return to her violent ways, then it will be Deacon's fault -- and it has nothing to do with his feelings for Taylor and vice versa. He created this messy situation years ago.

Remember when Bill (Don Diamont) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) were secretly working together with an FBI agent to put Sheila behind bars for her past crimes? That was a great twist, considering that Bill and Ridge can't stand each other! Unfortunately, Deacon interfered by paying off a judge to keep Sheila out of prison. He should have let the wheels of justice prevail, but he didn't. So, if the "beast" inside Sheila eventually re-emerges, then he has no one to blame but himself.

Deke is right in one way, but wrong in another way

The Bold and the Beautiful's post raised a good question. Is Sheila truly reformed? Even though Deke (Harrison Cone) doesn't think so (and has a right to be concerned that his father is married to her), he has no right to tell Deacon that he needs to end his marriage. The only person who has the right to make that decision is Deacon.

"He might forgive her," one Facebook user commented, "but it won't ever change the fact he will never want her to be with his dad."

"Deke will give away something about Deacon and Taylor," another fan said.

"I think she will come after Deke and Hope," still another fan speculated. "She knows they don't like her, and they want their dad with Taylor."

Some fans empathize with Sheila and are rooting for the new Sheila to stay:

"Please just keep Sheila on the more nice path," one fan asked.

"Leave Sheila alone. I really like her with Deacon," another fan agreed.

"Keep Sheila good!!!" still another fan pleaded.

"When people are continually cruel to you," one fan stated, "it can change your perspective and make you very, very angry, and it's a bit of psychological torture because they keep doing that to Sheila."

Why does Sheila keep barging into Taylor's office?

Sheila has clearly made some strides toward being a better person on The Bold and the Beautiful. She saved Kelly from drowning in the ocean. She saved Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) from being shot by Luna (Lisa Yamada). And we have to admire her for the fact that she's fighting for her marriage.

But she needs to respect boundaries. Taylor asked her not to barge into her office, to please call first. Why can't Sheila respect that simple request?

One Facebook fan commented on this, saying, "Taylor needs to lock her door, because [Sheila] seems to feel free to just walk in any time."

Some of us will never fully be Team Sheila for one simple reason: she has never gone to prison and paid for her crimes. It's hard to forget that she tried to kill her own mother. She tried to drown Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman) in a hot tub. She killed Lance (Adam Huss) by releasing a swarm of bees into his apartment. Sheila has never taken responsibility for those horrible acts and spent time in prison, because Deacon gave her a "get out of jail free card."

If Deacon hadn't interfered and Sheila had gone to prison (even for a short time), and then he married her after she was released, then it would be easier to root for her now. But she never put in the necessary work to show that she was taking accountability for her crimes. Perhaps that's why no one will accept her now. Deacon gave her the easy way out, just as Bill originally got Luna pardoned for her own crimes. Remember how much that enraged us? We all wanted Luna to go to prison to pay for her many heinous acts. Shouldn't Sheila do the same?
