Key Takeaways
- Ridge demanded that Taylor end her relationship with Deacon.
- In a shocking change of heart, Taylor agreed to stop seeing him, both personally and professionally.
- Taylor told Steffy that she ended her relationship with Deacon, but she looked uncertain about her decision.
Taylor’s Surprising Change of Heart
Deacon (Sean Kanan) first began seeing Taylor (Rebecca Budig) professionally after questioning his marriage to Sheila (Kimberlin Brown). It all came crashing down when Deacon found out that Luna (Lisa Yamada) was still alive and had taken advantage of Will (Crew Morrow) at his establishment.
Sheila kept all of this from him. He thought he was going crazy, especially for getting involved with her. So, he turned to Taylor, who helped him rebuild his self-esteem. He realized that he deserved better in his life.
The only reason Deacon married Sheila is that she liked his dark side. He wanted to be with someone who could bring the good out in him. Someone like Taylor. As a result, the two grew close during their therapy sessions.
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) found out about their love connection. She tried to sound the alarm to Hope (Annika Noelle), but she was thrilled about the idea. So, she got desperate and roped Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) into the situation.
He told Taylor to end her relationship with Deacon. While he wanted to see her in love and happy with someone else, that person couldn’t be Deacon. Taylor agreed to end things for her family’s sake.
The Heart Wants What It Wants
On the Tuesday, February 10 episode, Taylor pulled Steffy aside at Daphne’s (Murielle Hilaire) bridal shower. She told her daughter that she ended things with Deacon. But does Deacon know that?
When Steffy hugged her, Taylor looked like she regretted her decision. It’s possible that she’s only pacifying her family so they don’t meddle in her love life. During the bridal shower, Taylor told Daphne that if you love someone, you need to go for it.
This could suggest that Taylor and Deacon will sneak around behind everyone’s backs. But they’re bound to get caught at some point. Who will catch them? Kimberlin Brown teased “big” fallout from the B&B love triangle.
