Taylor’s Secret Illness – Sleeping With Brooke’s Men (Ridge, Eric, Deacon)
Just when fans thought Taylor Hayes was finally getting a fresh start, The Bold and the Beautiful throws her right back into familiar, frustrating territory. After a short but sizzling “will-they-won’t-they” tease, Taylor and Deacon are officially charging full speed into romance, sealing their fate with that first forbidden kiss. On the surface, it looks like a win — Taylor with a man who isn’t Ridge Forrester. But is it really? Or is history cruelly repeating itself yet again?
For longtime viewers, the excitement quickly turns bittersweet. Yes, Taylor is moving on from Ridge… but she’s still dating another man deeply entangled with Brooke Logan’s past. And fans are asking the uncomfortable question: Could the writers really not find Taylor a man who hasn’t already been obsessed with Brooke first?
💔 A rivalry written in soap history
Few rivalries in daytime television are as iconic — or as exhausting — as Taylor Hayes versus Brooke Logan. For decades, these two women have battled over love, loyalty, and family… and more often than not, the exact same men. Ridge Forrester, Eric Forrester, and now Deacon Sharp — all pillars of Brooke’s romantic history — have also passed through Taylor’s life, leaving emotional wreckage behind.
Ridge, of course, is the heart of it all. When Taylor first arrived in Los Angeles as a respected psychiatrist, she and Ridge built what looked like an unbreakable bond. Marriage, children, and years of shared history followed. But no matter how solid Taylor and Ridge seemed, Brooke always lingered in the shadows. Time and again, Ridge drifted back to Brooke, leaving Taylor to pick up the pieces — emotionally shattered but never truly free.
🕯️ Then came Eric — and another shock
After Stephanie’s death, Eric Forrester was grieving and vulnerable. Taylor, dealing with her own pain, found comfort in him. What started as support turned into romance, stunning everyone — especially Brooke, who had once been Eric’s wife herself. Taylor even moved into the Forrester mansion, solidifying yet another connection to Brooke’s romantic past. For many fans, this was the moment the pattern became impossible to ignore.
🔥 Now Deacon enters the picture… and controversy explodes
Taylor’s latest relationship with Deacon Sharp may be the most explosive yet. Deacon’s history with Brooke is complicated, messy, and unforgettable — making this pairing feel less like a fresh chapter and more like déjà vu. What stings even more? Taylor has long moral-policed Brooke for being “the other woman”… yet now she finds herself standing in that very role.
⚠️ High stakes, dangerous consequences
Despite the backlash, Taylor and Deacon are standing their ground. But this romance comes with serious risks. With Sheila Carter lurking in the background, Taylor isn’t just risking her reputation — she could be risking her life. Love has never been more dangerous, or more divisive.
💬 Fans are split — and the debate is fierce
Is this romance bold and exciting… or another betrayal of Taylor’s character? Does Deacon truly care for Taylor, or is she once again second choice? And why can’t Taylor ever get a love story that isn’t tied to Brooke Logan?
One thing’s certain: this storyline has reignited one of B&B’s most explosive debates, and fans aren’t staying quiet. Love it or hate it, Taylor and Deacon are pushing boundaries — and the fallout is only just beginning. 💥
