On The Bold and the Beautiful’s Thanksgiving episode, Deacon and Carter became best buddies. As fans remember, Deacon hated Carter’s guts. It got so bad that they got into a physical altercation. So, what changed?
Key Takeaways
- Deacon didn’t like how Carter treated Hope during the coup attempt.
- The two got into a nasty fight that ended with Deacon punching out Carter.
- Carter and Hope ended their engagement after Hope realized she was still in love with Liam.
- Deacon appreciates Carter now that he’s not involved with his daughter.
Change Of Heart
This scene surprised us on B&B’s Thanksgiving episode. At Il Giardino, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) was doing a mic check for her upcoming performance. She performed in front of Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor, who chose steady growth and unconditional love), Deacon (Sean Kanan), and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown).
They all agreed that she had an incredible voice. Sheila went to check the turkey that was cooking in the oven as Deacon talked to Carter. He showed Carter what he’s been doing on his laptop.
Carter said he could offer free legal advice if he ever needed it. Then, in a surprise twist, the two agreed to move beyond their past differences. At the time, Carter was dating Deacon’s daughter, Hope (Annika Noelle).
Deacon supported their relationship until the coup attempt happened. Then, Carter had a change of heart. He wanted to give back to the company, and he was struck by Daphne’s charm and enchanting fragrance.
Deacon couldn’t trust Carter’s intentions with his daughter. He pushed for Hope to get back with Liam (Scott Clifton), and eventually, he got his wish.
What Changed?
Now that Hope and Liam are back together, Deacon can breathe easy. He’s over the moon about their engagement news. So, he’s now fine with Carter, even if he’s with “The Nose.” Deacon even invited Carter and Daphne over for Thanksgiving dinner.
However, Carter said they had made plans elsewhere. The new couple wished Sheila and Deacon a happy Thanksgiving. Even Sheila was shocked to learn that Deacon had come around to Carter.
What’s also changed is that Deacon has been seeing Taylor (Rebecca Budig)…professionally. Which hasn’t been going well, as expected, since they both have burning feelings for each other.
Deacon told Sheila that Taylor has made a strong impression on him lately. Sheila wanted to know what they talked about. Deacon mentioned that Taylor has gotten him to open up more.
Tapping into his emotions has allowed him to change and grow. And because of this, he’s able to move forward with Carter. However, what also helps is that Carter and Hope are no longer together.
