In the January 5 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Deke waited tables at Il Giardino. While he appreciates his father’s help and support, he would much rather be designing dresses. Little did Deke know that he would walk into a new opportunity later that day.
Key Takeaways
- Thomas replaced Deke as the lead designer of Hope for the Future.
- Deke started working for Deacon at Il Giardino.
- Katie has been looking for a designer for her fashion house.
- She wanted to speak with Deke, so she could present him with an exciting new opportunity.
What Happened on B&B
At Il Giardino, Deke (Harrison Cone) thanked Deacon (Sean Kanan) for giving him a job. He appreciated it. Even though Deke is proud of his father, the restaurant business isn’t his thing.
Deacon knew that fashion was Deke’s passion. He thought Forrester Creations made a mistake in letting Deke go so fast. Deke is aware that he needs more experience, but he also knows what he can offer.
NEXT: Did Deke get a raw deal with Forrester Creations?
Deacon claimed nepotism was the reason behind his son’s firing. Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) snatched the role from underneath him. Deacon warned Deke that Thomas is unstable and not to forget what he put his sister Hope (Annika Noelle) through.
Meanwhile, Katie (Heather Tom) and Bill (Don Diamont) showed up to have lunch at Il Giardino. She told Bill that she needed someone young, bold, and unexpected. That’s when her eyes came upon Deke.
Katie dismissed Bill from their table and asked Deke to join her. She wanted to know what happened to his position at Forrester Creations. She was left out of the loop during the time he was let go. Deke informed her that they chose Thomas over him.
Why It Mattered for Deke
During their conversation, Katie advised Deke not to give up on his dreams. One day, they could come true. Deke was feeling slighted, especially since he was let go from Forrester Creations.
He gave up on the idea of a fashion career. But his conversation with Katie could shift his day and change his life. He might finally get the opportunity to do what he loves. Additionally, Katie will have the opportunity to work with an emerging talent who could revolutionize the fashion world.

The Fallout for Forrester Creations
Deke’s future with Katie’s fashion house could shake up Forrester Creations. Hope and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) could end up in another argument over the constant changes with Forrester Creations. In an impulsive whim, Hope could leave and join Liam (Scott Clifton) at Bill and Katie’s new fashion house, along with Deke.
That would leave Thomas and Zende (Delon de Metz) on their own. They would be without a couture line since Hope would bring her name and likeness to create a newly revised version of Hope for the Future. The fashion wars are just starting up, and they’re about to get even dirtier.
