Kimberlin Brown’s The Bold and the Beautiful character Sheila has a tough time winning over her stepkids. While Sheila and Deke don’t have the best relationship, it’s the opposite for Brown and co-star Harrison Cone.
Key Takeaways
- Sheila’s made efforts to bond with Deke.
- Deke’s made it known he’s not fond of his stepmother.
- Brown has nothing but positive things to say about her onscreen stepson.
Great Acting Partner
When Sheila married Deacon (Sean Kanan), she gained a new family with her stepkids. Of course, Sheila already knew Hope (Annika Noelle), but in 2025, the Sharpe family gained a new addition.
Deacon’s son Deke (Harrison Cone) returned to LA after a long absence. Young Deke immediately reconnected with his dad and met his new stepmom.
While Sheila’s tried to bond with Deke, he’s apprehensive. Given Sheila’s history, it’s understandable why he might be a bit uncomfortable around her.
Although things are frosty between Deke and Sheila, it’s nothing but love for Brown and Cone. In a recent interview with Michael Fairman TV, the actress praised her onscreen stepson.
“He’s got some great instincts. He really does when you work with him,” Brown says of Cone. Although the script calls for Deke to hate Sheila, Cone can’t resist showing his enthusiasm around Brown.
“When he has scenes with me, he can’t help but just kind of grin and kind of look the other way. It’s interesting the choices that he makes. Harrison makes it different with each and every one of us, which I find very interesting.”
Wicked Stepmother
Although Sheila’s been nothing but nice to her stepchildren, Hope and Deke unfortunately don’t share the same sentiments. The two have made it clear they disapprove of their dad’s marriage to Sheila.
Upon learning that Deacon has fallen in love with Taylor (Rebecca Budig), they’re pushing for their dad to pursue a romance with the world-renowned psychiatrist. Deke and Hope’s disregard for Sheila’s feelings in the Deacon and Taylor love triangle has angered many fans. And it might anger their stepmother.
When Sheila learns about Deacon and Taylor’s affair she’s going to be furious. While Deacon and Taylor seem like her obvious targets, she might switch her focus elsewhere.
If Sheila discovers Deke and Hope knew about their dad’s affair and encouraged it, they’ll become Sheila’s new enemies. If they thought Sheila was troublesome before, that’s nothing compared to what she’ll do to them.
