Sean Kanan Is Taking B&B Viewers on an Incredible Ride

Bold and the Beautiful could have already and abruptly shown a sinister Sheila Carter alive and well as it’s starting to look like she’s not dead after all. However, rather than rush the reveal with a shocking moment, the show instead is unfolding the mystery slowly. Sean Kanan, as Deacon, Sheila’s love, has been charged with taking viewers on a ride and he’s doing it masterfully.

This Little Piggy Is Coming Home

Outside of internet speculation, there was no solid indication that Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) was among the living. Sure, she went out spectacularly during a fight with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) but if Sheila were really going to that great soap in the sky wouldn’t her last scenes have been even more grand? Wouldn’t she have some final words?

The show teased that Sheila the corpse wasn’t the Sheila we all love to hate when the sheet covering her body hit a snag as the dead woman was on its way to being cremated. That’s when Deacon saw 10 — count ’em — 10 toes on Sheila’s body. Deacon, along with everyone else, knows that Sheila hacked off one of her toes the last time she wanted folks to think she was dead. If Sheila only has 9 toes and the body that was cremated has (well, had) 10, well, then that must mean the real Sheila is alive, right?

Deacon wants desperately to believe this is true. On one hand, he knows he’s not likely to get any support as everyone else wants to believe that Sheila is never coming back. We’ve seen Kanan play the reality of a surreal situation. He could be easily swayed by Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) who have tried talking some sense into him. But Deacon’s not the type of guy to let people tell him what to think.

Two other cast members who play behind-the-scenes roles have had a hand in this story, too. Heather Tom (Katie) directed the episode in which “Sheila’s” toes were exposed. B&B devotee Angie Theo posted on Tom’s Instagram account: “you are going to win Best Directing next year at the Daytime Emmys because you did fabulous work directing the episode of the cremation. Great work!”

Lawrence Saint-Victor, who not only plays Carter but is also one of the show’s writers, raved about Kanan’s work on Instagram stories. “I had a lot of fun writing this episode,” the actor/scribe shared on social media. “[Sean Kanan] killed it!!!!”

Sean Kanan is indeed killing this story, but it is starting to look like more and more that the person whom Steffy killed was not Sheila. We suspect there will be a shocking moment in which Sheila turns up alive but, in the meantime, Kanan’s Deacon is taking us on the journey that’s going to make that payoff even sweeter. Bravo!
