What to expect on The Bold and the Beautiful

Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, Sheila and Deacon’s marriage continues its downward spiral. Sheila is oblivious to the growing connection between her husband, and Taylor, his therapist, and she continues to give her credit for Deacon taking her back. Sheila rants to Finn about Taylor being the reason that she and Deacon are still married, unaware of the secret her son is harboring. Finn is entirely aware of Deacon and Taylor’s feelings for each other, and he’s one slip away from sending his biological mother back into her most unhinged state.

Steffy explains to Hope that something is brewing between Deacon and Taylor, and she demands that it come to an end before it’s too late. After surviving years of torment at the hands of Sheila and Luna, Steffy is desperately to avoid any repeat issues with her mother-in-law. She needs a reprieve from death and devastation.

Steffy knows better than anyone the danger that Sheila could pose to their families, and Steffy wants to protect Taylor as much as she possibly can. Taylor and Steffy have both suffered gunshot wounds because of Sheila’s instability, and history could repeat itself if she feels slighted by Deacon.

Hidden motives and hard lessons

Dylan has deeply inserted herself into Will and Electra’s lives. She showed up out of nowhere a few months prior, confessing to running over Luna, which undoubtedly earned her brownie points with Electra. Dylan took away the number one stressor in everyone’s lives, and now she’s reaping the rewards as everyone has gone out of their way to repay her. After allowing her to stay in his guest house, Dylan wants to repay Will’s kindness however she can. While this is good for Dylan, it’s less than ideal for an already paranoid Electra.

As Will’s personal live inches closer to chaos, his mother, Katie, faces turmoil of her own. On Friday’s all-new episode, Brooke came close to uncovering the truth about Katie and Eric’s new working relationship. Next week, tensions continue to rise as Eric reveals to Donna and Katie that he wants to teach Brooke and Ridge a lesson on respecting their elders, and he plans on doing it the hard way. After being unceremoniously ousted from the company that he found, Katie is giving Eric the opportunity to breathe new life into his famed career, but it won’t be smooth sailing.

Brooke and Ridge have already branded Katie’s fashion house failing as a foregone conclusion. However, Eric inserting himself into the mix is an instant game changer. At first, Katie’s new company seemed like it had an uphill battle toward relevance, but Eric serving as lead designer, instantly places it in direct competition with Forrester Creations.
