What Happened Previously on B&B

Taylor (Rebecca Budig) and Deacon (Sean Kanan, Soap Hub’s performer of the month) finally stopped pretending there was nothing more between them and acknowledged the connection that had been quietly building. Deacon’s involvement with Taylor began professionally after he sought therapy in the wake of learning just how deeply Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) had deceived him.

Taylor made it clear to Sheila that their friendship couldn’t continue given her role as Deacon’s therapist. Drawing that boundary was straightforward. Holding the same line with Deacon, however, proved far more complicated.

Once the door was cracked open, emotions took over. Taylor and Deacon shared a kiss, setting off immediate fallout. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) quickly demanded that Taylor end her professional relationship with Deacon, but Taylor refused to give in. In a last-ditch effort to stop things from going any further, Steffy even turned to Hope (Annika Noelle), only to discover Hope was relieved that her father was finally moving past Sheila.

Meanwhile, Deacon tried to let Sheila down without provoking her, but the message didn’t land. The tension of the moment was underscored by the fact that Sheila was holding a knife as he spoke. At the same time, Steffy confronted Taylor again, laying down an ultimatum and making it clear she would not accept any kind of relationship between her mother and Deacon.

Even with that pressure bearing down on them, Taylor and Deacon crossed the line once more and shared another kiss. Later, Steffy told Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that Taylor had feelings for Deacon, and he burst into Taylor’s office as they were kissing.
