The Bold and the Beautiful’s Deacon and Taylor confessed their love for each other. But there’s just one problem. Deacon is still married to Sheila, who is the worst romantic rival to have. Some fans think Taylor is ending up in second place, just like she did with Brooke and Ridge. But Budig defended Deacon, stating there’s a clear difference between him and Ridge.
Key Takeaways
- The Bold and the Beautiful is currently focused on the threat Sheila poses to Taylor’s life.
- Rebecca Budig broke down whether Deacon still loves Brooke, Taylor’s constant romantic rival.
- She defended Deacon, claiming that he’s nothing but love for Ridge.
Who’s Worse: Sheila or Brooke?
Most would claim that Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) is the worst romantic rival to have. She threatened that no one would come between her man. This line suggested that Sheila would follow through on her threat.
In an interview with Soaps.com, Budig answered whether she still sees Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) as a threat to Taylor’s love life. She’s had a hold on Deacon (Sean Kanan) for years, long before he got involved with Sheila.
Budig admitted that Taylor probably still has those concerns in the back of her mind. But she’s not thinking about it right now. “That seems dead and buried,” Budig said.

What Makes Deacon Different From Ridge?
Like Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Deacon seemed to enjoy the attention he got from two women. He agreed to work on his marriage with Sheila. But that hasn’t stopped him from getting emotionally involved with Taylor.
Some fans have argued that Taylor’s situation with Deacon is no different from her past one with Ridge. She always ends up as the second choice. However, Budig thinks it’s different this time around.
Deacon is fearful for his and Taylor’s lives. He has to find the right time to tell Sheila that their marriage is over, which isn’t easy. She’s not someone who’s going to take this news lightly.
What Will Deacon Do Next?
So far, Taylor has agreed to end her relationship with Deacon. But his fire is still burning for her. He told his kids not to meddle in his love life anymore. Will B&B’s Deacon and Taylor hide their forbidden love?
As for Budig, she doesn’t think Deacon is similar to Ridge in this regard. He’s proven his love for her, time and time again. He just needs to cut the complicated ties in his life.
“But I think with Ridge, it’s been a pattern — you know, the back and forth,” Budig explained. “Whereas she hasn’t experienced that with Deacon.”
