What Happened Previously on B&B
Taylor (Rebecca Budig) crossed a line with Deacon (Sean Kanan) some time ago when she stepped in to support him after he learned Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) had hidden the truth about Luna (Lisa Yamada) being alive. Li (Naomi Matsuda) recently talked Sheila down, reassuring her that Deacon loved her.
They both said it had to stop, but neither of them seemed able to follow through. Even the looming presence of Sheila hasn’t been enough to cool what’s been building between them.
Meanwhile, Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) have been casually seeing each other since Christmas. She’s carried a crush on him for years, but he initially chose Hope (Annika Noelle), which prompted Daphne to leave Los Angeles.
Once Hope ended things with Carter, Daphne came back, though she didn’t immediately fall back into his life. She kept some distance and made him earn her attention. Now, however, she’s starting to feel like it may be time to return to Paris, even with their connection still lingering. Daphne tried to let Carter down easily, but he wasn’t ready to completely give up.
After being let go from Forrester Creations, Deke (Harrison Cone) ended up working for Deacon at Il Giardino. When Katie (Heather Tom) spotted him there, she quickly decided he could be just what her new fashion house needed.
