Deke doesn’t want to wait tables at Il Giardino. No offense to his father, but he thought he’d make his big break on The Bold and the Beautiful by now. He wanted to know his sister’s thoughts on his designs, and she offered encouraging words. But does Deke have what it takes to design for Katie’s new fashion house?
Key Takeaways
- Deke graduated from fashion school and has dreams of becoming the next great fashion designer.
- His dreams ended when he was fired from Forrester Creations and replaced by Thomas.
- Deke has been struggling with imposter syndrome since Katie ghosted him after their conversation.
Will Deke Finally Design for Katie?
In the Friday and Monday episodes, Deke (Harrison Cone) visited Hope (Annika Noelle). He wanted his sister’s thoughts on his latest designs. Hope complimented Deke’s designs and hopes that Katie (Heather Tom) will call him back.
But Deke hasn’t heard back from Katie since their last conversation. Katie was looking for a designer at the time and ended up hiring Eric (John McCook). But now that Eric has stepped down as lead designer, Deke wonders if he still has a shot despite being ghosted.
He wondered if he should reach out to Katie again. Deke also wondered if his designs were good enough for Logan. The new fashion house made a buzz when they moved forward with Eric’s designs amid his departure. Hope could tell that her brother was dealing with imposter syndrome and offered him some reassurance.
What Could Halt Deke’s Success
Deke wonders if he’s good enough to work as Logan’s lead designer. He could be right. Remember, Deke graduated from fashion school months ago, so he’s new to the fast-paced industry.
He might also be too green to handle the pressure. As we all know, Bill (Don Diamont) has been running a tight ship at Logan. Some B&B viewers have questioned Bill’s involvement in Katie’s fashion house.
Bill is not an easy person to work for. He told Eric he had to deliver Logan’s debut collection before the deadline, which caused him stress. Eric realized that it wasn’t worth working for Dollar Bill, even if he got to do what he loved.
Deke is soft-spoken and laid-back. He might not handle the pressure once he works for Logan. He’ll be expected to be a one-man team and deliver the designs as soon as possible.
Bill is focused on dollar signs, not on couture, art, or fashion for fashion’s sake. Deke should think twice about working for Logan. Sometimes success is not worth the pressure that comes with it.
