Daring and the Lovely Prediction: Deacon Bails on Sheila
Our first prediction kicks off with Deacon and Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). I believe they may cut up quickly, even when they finally get again collectively. Deacon remains to be crushing on Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), and Sheila has damaged his belief. I believe Deacon solely went again to Sheila as a result of Taylor mainly informed him to. She was attempting to take away the temptation so she didn’t cross any skilled traces as a result of Deacon is her affected person, however he’s additionally extremely popular.
As we head into 2026, it doesn’t matter what Taylor encourages him to do, I don’t suppose Deacon can stick with Sheila for much longer. It’s clear he desires Taylor. Plus, his youngsters, Hope and Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone), are by no means going to just accept Sheila of their lives. Deacon desires to be in his youngsters’ good graces and have ongoing entry to the grandkids, and meaning Sheila is an ongoing drawback.
Deacon Pursues Taylor as Sheila Carter Returns to Villainy on B&B
That brings us to our second prediction. I believe Deacon will get along with Taylor. Whether or not it lasts or not is a query, however I anticipate extra of a gradual burn.

Taylor and Deacon could also be on an particularly gradual burn whereas the style home rivalry takes middle stage as the brand new yr kicks off.

They’ve this new life collectively, and Hope was thrilled that Liam didn’t actually have most cancers and survived being shot by Luna. They’ve Beth collectively, and whereas Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) is round from time to time, I can see Hope and Liam desirous to increase their household. A soapy twist can be infertility drama, which may give them one other impediment to beat collectively.

Luna’s Surprising Return from the Presumed Lifeless on Daring
Luna getting back from the lifeless feels inevitable. A delayed return would work finest, as soon as Will Spencer (Crew Morrow), Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace), Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wooden), and others settle for her demise and transfer on. If Sheila loses Deacon she would possibly welcome Luna again with open arms and assist her plot revenge, which might be a terrifying alliance.
Hope could go away Forrester Creations and be a part of Katie’s new vogue home, Logan. She was devastated when Steffy pressured her to fireside Deke, particularly after Hope was so excited to revive Hope for the Future along with her brother. As soon as Hope finds out about Katie’s firm, she could defect.

Brooke not too long ago mocked Katie for not having designers, however Eric becoming a member of her would change every part. This might arrange a large showdown between Logan and Forrester Creations, with sabotage, lawsuits, and household betrayals forward.
Deke may return as a part of Brooke and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye)’s plan to crush Katie and Invoice’s firm. If Eric defects, Ridge could panic and pull extra Forresters into the combat.

With Brooke and Katie already at odds, the ladies of Los Angeles are headed straight for struggle. Additionally, Will could suggest to Electra triggering Luna’s return from the lifeless. In the meantime, Carter Walton and Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) may transfer rapidly from relationship to marriage.
