Like any character’s return, Deke’s is stirring up drama on The Bold and the Beautiful. Most of Deke’s story consists of his involvement in his dad’s marital problems. And Deke is one person who’ll be happy to see Deacon dump Sheila.
Key Takeaways
- Deke recently returned and reconnected with his dad, Deacon.
- The young man isn’t a fan of his father’s new wife, Sheila.
- Deke and Hope have expressed their desire to see Deacon with Taylor.
Stepmother Dearest
After a two-decade absence, Deke (Harrison Cone) made his return to Los Angeles. It was a joyful moment as he reunited with his dad, Deacon (Sean Kanan). However, the family reunion was diminished when Deke met his stepmother Sheila (Kimberlin Brown).
Like many of B&B’s characters, Deke is aware of Sheila’s criminal past. Although Sheila’s trying to redeem herself and has been nothing but nice to Deke, he hasn’t given her the time of day.
Deke’s behavior towards Sheila has sparked a debate among fans on Reddit. Many agree that Deke is being too harsh in his treatment of Sheila.
“He’s constantly been rude and hostile to a woman who hasn’t done him personal harm and makes his father happy. Now, I’m not saying Sheila is some innocent person, but it’s sorta just a bit bratty for Deke to be the way he is,” wrote the original poster.
“I agree, I think Deke is being rude to Sheila. If Sheila was still up to her evil ways, I’d say otherwise,” one viewer replied. However, most fans feel that Deke has a right to be cautious of Sheila.
“I think it makes total sense. It doesn’t matter that she never personally hurt him because I don’t think anyone would want a loved one married to someone who has done everything Sheila has.”
Will Deke End Sheacon’s Marriage?
While Sheila thinks her and Deacon’s marriage is back on track, what she doesn’t know is that Deacon’s in love with Taylor (Rebecca Budig). It doesn’t help that Deke and his sister Hope (Annika Noelle) are aware of their dad’s feelings for his therapist.
The siblings approve of Taylor and are encouraging their dad to pursue a relationship with the world-renowned psychiatrist. While Deke and Hope are focused on their dad’s happiness, they don’t realize the chaos they’re about to unleash if Taylor and Deacon happen.
If Deacon and Taylor do pursue a romantic relationship, it won’t be long before Sheila finds out. Sheila’s heartbreak will turn to anger, and when Sheila’s angry, disaster strikes. Although Deacon and Taylor seem like Sheila’s main targets, she might go after Deke and Hope, who disapproved of her marriage.
