He comes over, and that\u2019s when they have some time alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taylor is aware that they\u2019re playing with fire. Not only did she previously treat Deacon as a patient in her therapy practice, but he\u2019s married to Sheila, whose volatile history makes any betrayal especially dangerous. \u201cTaylor knows that she\u2019s risking a lot by doing it,\u201d Budig notes. \u201cBut Taylor and Deacon have had this underlying pull to each other that has been physical as well as emotional, so I think she really wants to explore that in the privacy of her home, where she doesn\u2019t have to worry about someone coming in.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Bold and the Beautiful - Deacon\u2019s Breaking Point\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7vnPBhHc8XU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Complicating matters further is Steffy\u2019s strong opposition to any connection between her mother and her unpredictable mother-in-law. \u201cIt\u2019s layered,\u201d allows Budig. \u201cTaylor has always been moralistic, so she\u2019s been fighting the feelings. She understands the danger that she puts her family in and can see all sides. But the heart wants what the heart wants, so that\u2019s probably the bigger piece for her, knowing that she hasn\u2019t had this in a really long time, wanting that but also knowing that it affects a lot of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Budig says she wasn\u2019t initially aware that the story would lead Deacon and Taylor down such an intimate path. \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/bradley-bell\/\">Brad [Bell<\/a>, executive producer and head writer] said to me, \u2018I\u2019m going to take some time with this story,\u2019 so I didn\u2019t know exactly where it was going to go or how it was going to go,\u201d she says. \u201cI knew that he was seeing how Deacon and Taylor would play out and I liked it. I thought there was a real conflict, and it was nice to play that. I didn\u2019t know any of the other particulars about it or how we were going to get there with him being my patient, but that\u2019s the beauty of a soap.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1254284\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1254284\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Howard Wise\/jpistudios.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Curious about the past, Budig asked Kanan for insight into their characters\u2019 shared history. \u201cI asked Sean, \u2018Did Taylor and Deacon ever have anything?\u2019\u201d she recalls. \u201cHe said, \u2018Just a little flirtation once or twice. They never explored a relationship ever.\u2019 I thought it was fun because the cast is so small and you end up intersecting with people multiple times, so I thought that was new and interesting and exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That sense of discovery carried over into their working relationship. Though both actors are soap veterans, their rapport developed naturally once they began sharing scenes. \u201cI was familiar with Sean because we\u2019ve both been doing this a really long time,\u201d she says. \u201cI knew him sort of peripherally, but I never really got to know him until I came to the show. But it\u2019s funny, when you see people for so long you really start to think you know them. Luckily, Brad wrote this story and took a lot of time with it, and we were able to develop it slowly over time. It wasn\u2019t like we had to instantly fall in love with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it came time to film the pivotal love scene, Budig says the atmosphere on set was relaxed and collaborative. \u201cGod bless Brad for believing that a woman over 50 is still a viable, sexual being, because they are,\u201d she says. \u201cBut it definitely gets a little bit more self-conscious as I\u2019ve gotten older, because your body changes and it\u2019s just not the same as when you\u2019re 28 or 30, and you\u2019re just like, \u2018Oh yeah, sure, I\u2019ll be in my bra and walk around.\u2019 But what is great about working with someone like Sean, who\u2019s a professional, is there\u2019s no worrying. He\u2019s a total gentleman. We\u2019ve just done it for so long, so it\u2019s like a dance that\u2019s choreographed, and I\u2019m with someone who knows how to sell it, and that\u2019s all that I could hope for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now comes the fallout, particularly if Sheila discovers the truth. \u201cI think that there\u2019s a part of Taylor that holds out hope that Sheila has grown and has changed,\u201d points out Budig. \u201cSheila has shown signs of sanity with her, but also signs that she\u2019s not so together either. So Taylor should fear for her life if Sheila finds out, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1235703\" style=\"width: 864px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1235703\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1235703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rebecca-budig-sean-kanan-bold-beautiful-854x570.jpg\" alt=\"Sean Kanan, Rebecca Budig on 'The Bold and the Beautiful'\" width=\"854\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rebecca-budig-sean-kanan-bold-beautiful-854x570.jpg 854w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rebecca-budig-sean-kanan-bold-beautiful-433x289.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rebecca-budig-sean-kanan-bold-beautiful-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rebecca-budig-sean-kanan-bold-beautiful-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rebecca-budig-sean-kanan-bold-beautiful-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rebecca-budig-sean-kanan-bold-beautiful-1014x677.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rebecca-budig-sean-kanan-bold-beautiful.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1235703\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Howard Wise \/ <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/jpistudios.com\">jpistudios.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nevertheless, Budig would welcome more scenes with Kimberlin Brown. \u201cI love Kimberlin,\u201d she enthuses. \u201cI said to her, \u2018We should be a throuple.\u2019 I can\u2019t say enough good things about her. She\u2019s really fun to work with, and she\u2019s really prepared, and she\u2019s just a pro. She makes me laugh because Sheila is so funny. I just start giggling, and it\u2019s so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That sense of enjoyment reflects Budig\u2019s overall experience since joining the cast in 2024. \u201cThis is an incredible group to work with,\u201d she praises. \u201cI\u2019ve developed wonderful friendships in the last year and a half. I\u2019ve adored seeing <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/thorsten-kaye\/\">Thorsten [Kaye<\/a>, Ridge Forrester] because I\u2019ve known him for so many years, and I love seeing him at work. I get to play with a group of people that are lighthearted and fun and serious about what they\u2019re doing. And I say this a lot, and I say it with sincerity: Brad creates a community, and I think that\u2019s really important, so I can be a mom and I can go and do what I love, and it\u2019s amazing. I\u2019m super thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for what\u2019s next for Deacon and Taylor, don\u2019t expect an easy path forward. \u201cThey can\u2019t really be together; they would have to do it the right way,\u201d Budig teases. \u201cI think this is more of a moment to be together, where they can be alone without the possibility of someone seeing them. It\u2019s risky, but it\u2019s just a risk they\u2019re both willing to take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Bold and the Beautiful<\/em>, Weekdays, CBS, Check Local Listings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>More Headlines:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yakimaherald.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) throw caution to the wind when they sleep together on the Friday, March 27 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful.
