B&B SPOILERS: WILL TAYLOR HAYES FIND COMFORT IN DEACON SHARPE’S ARMS AFTER RIDGE BETRAYAL?
TL;DR: The Bold and the Beautiful sets up potential romance between heartbroken Taylor Hayes and soon-to-be-single Deacon Sharpe after Ridge Forrester chose Brooke Logan and Sheila Carter’s lies about Luna Nozawa destroy Deacon’s marriage.
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE ROMANCE IS BREWING
Just when you thought B&B couldn’t get any more explosive, the show appears to be positioning two of its most unlikely characters for a shocking romance!
Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) is nursing a broken heart after Ridge Forrester rushed into marriage with Brooke Logan — AGAIN. Meanwhile, Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) is about to discover his wife Sheila Carter has been lying to him about the Luna Nozawa situation. Talk about perfect timing!
What Happens to Taylor Hayes After Ridge Chooses Brooke?
Taylor Hayes is devastated and ready for a major life change after Ridge married Brooke for what feels like the millionth time.
The psychiatrist was shown on-screen being “upset how quickly Ridge married Brooke,” and honestly, can you blame her? After three decades of this love triangle nonsense, Taylor is DONE being Ridge’s safety net. The fact that B&B recast the role with Rebecca Budig sends a clear signal — they’re taking Taylor in a completely new direction.
She’s even confronting Eric Forrester about his manipulative attempts to push Ridge back to Brooke. This isn’t the same old pining Taylor we’ve seen before. She’s angry. She’s hurt. And she’s ready to move on.
Does Deacon’s Marriage to Sheila Survive the Luna Drama?
No, Deacon Sharpe’s marriage to Sheila Carter is about to implode spectacularly when he discovers her deceptions about Luna Nozawa.
Spoilers confirm Deacon becomes “incensed” and “furious” during the week of September 22-26. Why? Because Luna’s pregnancy announcement — she claims Will Spencer is the father — exposes Sheila’s secret involvement in the whole mess. Deacon specifically told his wife to stay away from Luna, but of course, Sheila couldn’t help herself.
The man has worked SO hard to become respectable. He owns Il Giardino, he’s rebuilt his relationship with his daughter Hope Logan, and he genuinely believed he’d found happiness with Sheila. Finding out she’s been lying to him? That’s going to shatter everything.
Could Taylor and Deacon Actually Become a Couple?
Multiple spoiler sources are buzzing about Taylor Hayes and Deacon Sharpe as a potential pairing, and the narrative logic is actually compelling.
Think about it. These are two people who understand betrayal on a deep level. Taylor has been the “good girl” forever — the pristine psychiatrist always losing to the “bad girl” Brooke. But let’s not forget Taylor has her own dark past. She killed Darla Forrester in a drunk driving accident. She shot Bill Spencer. She’s not as squeaky clean as everyone pretends.
Deacon? He’s the ultimate reformed bad boy. Yes, he had that infamous affair with Brooke while married to her daughter Bridget. But that was decades ago! He’s transformed from leather-pants-wearing villain to successful restaurant owner and devoted father.
The timing is TOO convenient to be coincidence. Both newly single. Both betrayed. Both ready for something completely different.
What Would Be the Fallout from a Taylor/Deacon Romance?
The chaos potential here is OFF THE CHARTS!
Brooke Logan would absolutely lose her mind. Her greatest rival dating the man from her most shameful scandal? The one that resulted in Hope? She’d see it as a direct attack. And honestly? Maybe it would be!
Ridge Forrester would go ballistic. He’s always looked down on Deacon, viewing him as trash from the wrong side of the tracks. Seeing Taylor — HIS Taylor — with someone he considers so far beneath her? The confrontations would be explosive. Plus, Ridge would suddenly have to defend Brooke’s past with Deacon while being furious about Taylor’s present with him.
Hope Logan would be caught in an impossible position. She loves her father and wants him happy, but Taylor is Steffy’s mother. Can you imagine the family dinners? The awkwardness? Hope and Steffy already have enough drama without their parents dating!
What’s Next for Taylor and Deacon?
Given the show’s pacing and the November sweeps period approaching, don’t be surprised if we see these two thrown together by late October.
Could this mean Taylor offers Deacon some informal therapy sessions after Sheila breaks his heart? The psychiatrist helping the reformed bad boy process his pain could easily turn into something more. Given Taylor’s history of falling for her patients (remember James Warwick?), this wouldn’t be out of character at all.
Don’t be surprised if their first kiss happens during November sweeps — probably right when Ridge or Brooke walks in to witness it. Because this is B&B, and timing is everything!
This pairing would be the ultimate shake-up. No more Ridge/Brooke/Taylor triangle that’s been recycling the same beats for 30 years. Instead, we’d get a fresh dynamic with genuine conflict potential.
Quick Answers for B&B Fans
Q: Are Taylor and Deacon really going to date? A: Multiple spoiler sources strongly suggest it’s happening, with both characters becoming single at the perfect time.
Q: Why would sophisticated Taylor want reformed bad boy Deacon? A: They’re both nursing broken hearts and understand betrayal — plus Taylor needs someone who sees HER, not as Brooke’s alternative.
Q: How would Ridge and Brooke react? A: Explosively! Ridge would be protective and furious, while Brooke would see it as a personal attack using her past scandal.
The bottom line? B&B appears ready to blow up three decades of predictable love triangles with this shocking new pairing. Deacon and Taylor might seem like opposites on paper — the reformed ex-con and the world-renowned psychiatrist — but that’s exactly what makes this potential romance so intriguing.
Will they find healing in each other’s arms? Or will the Forrester/Logan family dynamics tear them apart before they even get started?
One thing’s certain: if B&B pulls the trigger on “Tacon” (yes, fans are already shipping them), the drama will be LEGENDARY!
