Dr. Li is a busy woman. She spends most of her time caring for patients. The little time she has, she spends it with her good friend, Sheila. Li is needed back on The Bold and the Beautiful as the aftermath of Taylor and Deacon’s affair plays out, now that Sheila knows everything.
Key Takeaways
- Sheila and Li were bonded by Luna’s situation when she was alive.
- She became good friends with the villainess, who was ousted by Los Angeles.
- Sheila found out about Deacon’s affair with Taylor.
- Li was a woman scorned when she found out about Jack’s affair.
- She could take sides in this heated drama.
Sheila and Deacon’s Marriage is Over
Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and Deacon’s (Sean Kanan, who is on board with a Taylor and Deacon romance) relationship has been dead in the water since she betrayed him and he stepped out on her. Ultimately, they were both to blame.
Deacon ran to Taylor (Rebecca Budig) when he found out that Sheila had kept Luna (Lisa Yamada) alive with Li’s (Naomi Matsuda) help. He claimed his wife betrayed him, but he returned the favor by having an affair with Taylor.
Li Needs to Come Home
Li has been Sheila’s confidante during this time. The two bonded over their situation with Luna despite their complicated past. Li is the one person who could calm Sheila down when her life is in turmoil.
We need to see Li’s perspective on this matter. Sheila could turn to her friend after moving out of Deacon’s place. Maybe the two could form their own First Wives Club, where they drink wine and trash their ex-husbands.
Whose Side Will She Choose?
Bringing Li into the fold would also make for an interesting dynamic. Li and Taylor are in-laws. They’re both related to Finn (Tanner Novlan), who supports Taylor despite her affair with Deacon.
Li could immediately side with her family. She could explain to Sheila why Deacon and Taylor would make a better match. This could create tension in their friendship.
On the other hand, Li could side with her new friend. Li knows what it’s like to have a husband betray her. Her ex, Jack (Ted King), stepped out on her before. It’s unlikely she would side with Taylor, since she’s always had a grudge against her sister, Poppy (Romy Park, who made an empowering career change).
Li is the perfect person that Sheila could turn to during this difficult time. She could offer the wisdom that she desperately needs. Sheila is currently fighting to stay good in hopes that Deacon will return to her one day.
