Deacon Sharpe of The Bold and the Beautiful is in the dilemma of a love triangle. While it may be exciting to be pursued by two women, he feels pressured to make the right choice. As recent episodes showed, Ridge has ordered Deacon away from Taylor, his current love, for fear of invoking Sheila's wrath. While there are many advantages of having Taylor in his life, Deacon's connection with Sheila was undeniable.
Deacon became smitten with Sheila in 2022 as part of a mutual scheme, and their connection and attraction ultimately led to their marriage. While he owes Taylor for her friendship and therapeutic ability, Sheila boosted his self-esteem in his darkest hour. As such, it will be a tough decision for him to pick either of them.
5 reasons Deacon and Taylor make a good pair on The Bold and the Beautiful
1) Both Deacon and Taylor are victims of the Brooke-Ridge romance
Deacon Sharpe met Taylor Hayes in July 2022 ,after Brooke reunited with Ridge once again. While Taylor was heartbroken over this, Deacon felt ditched by Hope’s mother. The Bold and the Beautiful fans saw them sharing their disappointments with each other.
This past common ground between Deacon and Taylor makes them great for one another. Both have a heartbroken side that the other knows and acknowledges. This gives them a level of comfort with each other. Deacon can relate to Taylor’s pain and can comfort her as no one else can. This is especially true following Ridge’s latest waffling away from Taylor and back to Brooke.
2) Deacon and Taylor can heal each other and share a chemistry
Deacon and Taylor need each other. As recent episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful have shown, Deacon needed Taylor’s therapy sessions to cope with his wife's deceit. Taylor’s counseling helped heal Deacon and keep him grounded. Taylor is a world-renowned psychiatrist, and, with Deacon as her patient, she finds her calling in their connection.
Moreover, their chemistry is undeniable. After years of being stuck in a rut of playing the overlooked lover, Taylor seems to be exploring the other side of her character. Deacon Sharpe helps her relax and let caution go to the wind. He brings out Taylor's playful, energetic side, while she brings out the good in him, something Sheila could never do.
3) Taylor and Deacon understand each other
In a soap that revolves around the Forresters and Brooke, both Deacon and Taylor are outsiders. Deacon has tried to belong to the thick of things, but has always been cast out as the crook. Moreover, Ridge has no respect for Deacon and never fails to show it. At the same time, Taylor “sees’ the real Deacon, as the latter emphasized.
Meanwhile, Taylor finds herself thrown out of the “destiny” story of Ridge and his “Logan.” On top of that, the Forrester clan, mainly Ridge, Steffy, and Thomas, takes the privilege of guiding her life. A recent example is Steffy and Ridge asking her to end her relationship with Deacon. She feels misunderstood by them, creating another common point that binds the forbidden lovebirds.
4) Deacon deserves a normal partner
As longtime fans of The Bold and the Beautiful may remember, Deacon didn’t find true love and acceptance for a long time. Despite having a daughter with Brooke, the latter rejected his association. While his wife, Sheila, loves him, she has a criminal background, a lunatic streak, and is a compulsive liar.
Deacon pines for a normal romance with a normal woman, and Taylor is the woman who is normal in every sense of the word. Moreover, she is decent and respectable, and he has professed his love for her. For once, he can relax and stop looking over his shoulder for the other shoe to drop.
5) Deacon’s marriage is failing
As recent events on The Bold and the Beautiful presented, Sheila hid the fact that Luna was alive and pregnant. Moreover, Sheila helped nurse her criminal granddaughter back to life. Also, she hid that the rape, which made Luna pregnant, happened at Deacon’s place.
Besides the fact that Deacon hated Luna, who killed two of his employee-friends, he was shocked that Sheila kept secrets from him in their marriage. Going forward, he can never be sure about Sheila and if her lies are truly over. The broken trust with Sheila and the new level of trust and comfort with Taylor will likely push Deacon to choose his psychiatrist over his wife.
The Bold and the Beautiful: 5 reasons why Sheila may be Deacon’s right choice
1) Sheila was the first to make Deacon feel accepted
Deacon and Sheila met in August 2022, and since then, Deacon has been intrigued by her. She was the first woman to make him feel acknowledged and loved, particularly after how Brooke treated him. Kimberlin Brown's Sheila accepted him for what he was, a regular person who made wrong choices and mistakes.
As The Bold and the Beautiful fans have seen, Sheila Carter adored him and loved him. She made him feel important and needed. When he helped her by providing sanctuary or rescuing her from captivity, he realized his potential as a do-gooder, thanks to Sheila. If he stays in his marriage, he can remain on this predictable path with no deviation from the status quo.
2) The Deacon-Sheila marriage thrived
Since the time Deacon saved Sheila with Finn’s help, they were a made-for-each-other couple. Since their marriage, Deacon and Sheila have thrived. In Sheila, he finds an assistant and a business partner. They manage Il Giardino like a family business should. While he is in charge of finances and overall dealings, she runs the operations smoothly.
Whatever his decision, he is assured of Sheila’s support. Moreover, the latter supports Deacon’s decision to seek counseling from Taylor. She also praises Taylor, believing that Deacon is back in his marriage. Sheila is the most loyal companion Deacon can hope to have by his side.
3) Sheila transformed into a better person
Deacon’s love has had a positive impact on Sheila. Since their marriage, Sheila worked hard on herself and her transformation. Not only did she change into a calmer, better person, but she also learnt how to do business to help her husband. Moreover, she has genuinely loved Deacon.
Recently, Sheila has been making an effort to connect with Deacon’s children. While she realizes that Hope and Deke are reluctant to accept her as their stepmother, she is reaching out to them and promising a loving family. She even begged for forgiveness for the Luna fiasco and lies, hoping to keep her marriage steady.
4) Status quo promotes all round safety
Deacon knows that, before her transformation, Sheila was a crazy criminal. While she turned a new leaf for her love for Deacon, the vindictive criminal might be alive inside her. He knows that any action that brings out the crazy Sheila would be potentially dangerous.
As Steffy and Ridge have reiterated many times on The Bold and the Beautiful, if Deacon strays from his marriage, Sheila will take it badly. She may cause chaos in town if this occurs. Sheila’s instability endangers the lives of Deacon and Taylor foremost, as well as others whom Sheila may hold responsible. To keep everyone safe, Deacon must consider sacrificing himself to save his marriage.
5) Deacon faces much resistance from the Forrester clan
While Hope and Deke want their father to get together with Taylor for a normal relationship, Ridge and Steffy do not want Deacon to have any association with Taylor. On one hand, they may fear Sheila’s wrath if this romance is exposed, while on the other, Ridge has no respect for the crook-turned-restaurateur Deacon.
With Taylor likely to crumble under the pressure of her daughter’s ultimatum and Ridge’s coercion, Deacon may end up fighting a lone battle in favor of his newfound love. As such, giving up on his romance and staying involved in his business and regular life may seem like a wise choice. However, that may not restore any trust in Sheila.
