He fell in love with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) in recent months as a response to Sheila Carter Sharpe’s (Kimberlin Brown) breaking his trust.
The above is how Deacon framed his actions. So, in his mind, Kanan’s character justified what he did because of how Sheila behaved. That’s a major dereliction of personal responsibility.
Sheila is, without any reasonable question, the injured party. She faced a terrible choice when learning that Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) hadn’t died last year and felt compelled to protect her.
That wasn’t a betrayal of her marriage vows, like Deacon committed when repeatedly pursuing and eventually getting the good doctor.
Deacon Sharpe Disregarded Supportive Wife
Sheila believed in Deacon after they connected at Il Giardino. That was during the period when it was under the old management.
Deacon mysteriously flew to Italy, established or had Italian contacts, and received funding to buy the establishment, which has since flourished.
Sheila’s connection to Italy is the late Massimo Marone (Joseph Mascolo), who is the father of her daughter, Diana Carter (last portrayed as a baby in 2003 by child actors Weston and Mason Bodle).
Fans have speculated on the true source of Deacon’s financial backing. Sheila appeared to have a money source upon her most recent return to Los Angeles, California, with money left by Massimo possibly being her connection.
It’s also reasonable to believe that whatever contacts Sheila had in Italy were used to help Deacon realize the money he used to buy Il Giardino.
Taylor Hayes Tells Ridge Forrester Off
Let’s pause and explore Taylor’s role in this drama before further exploring Sheila’s state of mind. Budig’s character rightly told Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) that ending their engagement wasn’t the reason she was involved with Deacon.
Typical Ridge. He thinks as Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) does about her sister, Katie Logan Spencer (Heather Tom). They believe their loved ones take their cues from them.
Sure, Taylor was hurt by Ridge going back on his promise to remarry her. Plus, he ended their engagement so he could reconcile with Brooke and remarry her for a ridiculous eighth time, making nine marriages overall.
But Taylor didn’t use Deacon as a pure rebound. She came to love him because of the unique connection they forged and because he looked at her as his one and only, with the break from Sheila being bold. Yes, that’s a wink to the show’s title.
Sheila Carter Projects A Humble Stance
Sheila promised Deacon something she never would have agreed to in the past. She won’t attack Taylor or his children in retaliation for their marriage ending.
Her maturity is real, but it will take a long time to prove. Many people don’t want to believe she’s changed, with the nurse’s outfit reaffirming the consensus that she’s mentally unbalanced.
Brown’s classic character was clearly unhinged. But the current version of Sheila is different. She’s older, wiser, and more mentally mature.
Sheila is hurt, rather than angry. It will be interesting to see if her solo walk-away scene at Il Giardino, which included flashback moments with Deacon, will lead to her being off-screen for a while.
She said something intriguing to herself, promising to get Deacon back. That, along with Sheila’s multiple family ties, including Diana, could combine to produce the next storyline Brown works in the hopefully near future.
