Bold and the Beautiful suggest Taylor Hayes’ (Rebecca Budig) growing feelings for Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) are going to put her on a dangerous path soon. Taylor could soon find herself on a violent collision course with Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) if she is not careful.

Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy Confronts Taylor Over Her Dangerous Crush on Deacon

This week we see Taylor and Deacon in another close moment. Plus, Steffy Forrester realizes her mom is crushing on Deacon and she confronts Taylor. She blows up because Steffy thinks Taylor is playing with fire by playing with Deacon. Steffy is absolutely right. Right now, Sheila thinks she owes Taylor everything for saving her marriage to Deacon.

But Sheila has no idea how much heat there is between Deacon and Taylor. It looks like Sheila is going to figure it out soon. She’s back up at Taylor’s office this week, and it looks confrontational. Brand new 2026 Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say that Deacon and Taylor both better watch out.

Once Sheila realizes what’s going on between Taylor and Deacon, Taylor needs to really be careful. We’re going to talk about some unhinged things Sheila might do to get Taylor out of the way and make sure that Taylor is not a threat to Sheila’s marriage.

Sheila Carter’s History of Violence on B&B: Will History Repeat with Taylor?

First of all, Deacon’s crazy wife could do what she’s done before and just shoot Taylor again. Sheila did it before. This time, though, she might make sure that Taylor is really good and dead. If you remember back in the Hunter Tylo days, Sheila was holding Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Eric Forrester (John McCook) hostage at the Forrester mansion.

Taylor found out and she burst in the front door trying to warn them. Sheila was panicked by the noise, swung around with the gun, and shot Taylor. She wasn’t actually intending to shoot Taylor at the time, but she did. I think she also shot Brooke.

Bold and the Beautiful: Prince Omar Snatched Taylor

Anyway, that was in 2005. Everybody thought Taylor was dead and Hunter Tylo was off the show for a little bit when Taylor went missing. She was married to Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) at the time, and they had a funeral and all that.

But come to find out, Prince Omar, who had a long-running fixation on Taylor, had replaced what was supposed to be her corpse with a dummy, and that’s what got buried. Omar took the real Taylor back to Morocco with him. At the time she was still in a coma from injuries from the shooting. Eventually, she woke up, got away from Omar, and Taylor went back to her life.

So, if Sheila decides to shoot Taylor again, she may want to make sure that she checks the pulse and she’s good and dead and not just nearly dead. Then again, Sheila could skip the bullet and just give Taylor directly to Prince Omar for him to take back to Morocco, as long as he promises that Taylor will never return.

Fatal Crashes and Fiery Confrontations in Malibu

Another thing Sheila may do, which would be typical behavior for her, is to run Taylor off the road trying to kill her. If you remember, Sheila did that to Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) when Sheila found out Li was keeping Finn (Tanner Novlan) alive and hidden after she had shot her son. They had a physical fight, Li ran out, and Sheila chased her.

Li ran her car off the road and it was fiery. Everybody thought she was dead for a while. If Sheila is determined to punish Taylor for trying to steal Deacon, she could cause another fiery crash or cut Taylor’s brake lines. Or she could run her car off a cliff and into the ocean like what she did to Li.

I could see Sheila slapping on one of her many disguises, lurking outside the hospital, waiting for Taylor to get off work, then following her and ramming her car off the road on those hilly roads in Malibu. Then Sheila could rush back home and claim she was with Deacon the whole time.

A Long Way Down: The Threat of High-Stakes Sabotage on B&B

The third thing Sheila might do is to push Taylor off something really high, like a cliff or a building. We know Sheila has lurked at Steffy’s before, peeking in at them. She could wait for the right time, lure Taylor outside, and send her flying off the cliff. But again, you have to make sure somebody’s dead.

Because Brooke stiff-armed Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) off the cliff when he was there with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), and Thomas survived with minimal injuries. I do think that contributed to the later brain bleed where he was hallucinating and thought he was dating a doll. So, if she pushes her off the cliff, she needs to double-check—maybe drop a boulder off after her.

Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila’s History of Heights

Back in the Krista Allen days, there was a thing where Taylor was dangling off the roof of the hospital and Sheila was holding on to her arm. Taylor had been trying to stop Sheila from jumping and then she wound up dangling, but Sheila did pull Taylor back up.

But Sheila has also tried to push other people from balconies and buildings, like when she tried to force Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman) to jump off a building. I think that was on Young and the Restless. There’s really nothing Sheila won’t do when she wants somebody dead.

Twisted Threats and Professional Ruin for Taylor Hayes

There are also some less violent but still bad things that she could do to Taylor to scare her away from Deacon. Sheila might want to make sure Taylor never goes near her man again and punish her for daring to get near Deacon. If she does this kind of thing, Sheila might be able to avoid hard time in prison.

Something criminal and dangerous but not lethal that Sheila could do is cut off two of Taylor’s toes and tell her, “If you want to replace me, you need eight toes.” That would be kind of darkly comical but very twisted. I don’t think that would actually happen, but Sheila might threaten to do it. I could see her even holding a knife to Taylor’s toes and scaring her.

Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila Humiliates Taylor?

Finally, Sheila might punish Taylor by sabotaging her in another way. Sheila could stalk Taylor and Deacon once she realizes they’re getting involved, take some pictures, and then Sheila could embarrass or humiliate Taylor in a way so she can never be with Deacon.

For instance, Sheila could get her friend Li to take the pictures to the hospital board and trash Taylor to sabotage her professionally.  If Li reported her, Taylor would have to choose Deacon or her career.

It’s pretty much taboo for a shrink to date a patient. That is a little less violent and a little more petty, but we all know Sheila can absolutely be petty. I absolutely expect her to make Taylor pay one way or the other for falling for her husband.

Can Deacon Protect Taylor from Sheila’s Jealousy on B&B?

In other 2026 Bold and Beautiful spoilers, they say that Deacon is going to be very worried for Taylor. I can see that because he knows exactly what Sheila is capable of and she’s not really good at hiding her crazy. Once she starts to get jealous of Taylor, Deacon is going to know about it.

I do think he’s going to warn Taylor and I think Deacon is going to protect Taylor. But that could just pull them together. Sheila threatening her could actually solidify this blossoming relationship between Deacon and Taylor. But we’ll see how it goes.
