Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal that Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) isn’t letting her father go down alone now that Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) has learned the truth about his affair with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). While just about everyone is upset with Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) at the moment, Hope has his back completely. 

Of course, this might be because Hope feels that Taylor is a better match for him. Though she’s very worried that Sheila might act out if and when she knows the truth — as Hope isn’t yet aware that Sheila is in the know — Hope still feels that Deacon needs to end his relationship with Sheila.

Whether Sheila will even let Deacon go remains to be seen, of course. We’re still very much in the thick of the fallout, and anything can happen. Crazy Sheila could even return!

Let’s analyze official Bold and the Beautiful spoilers to see what’s in store for Hope and Deacon. On Thursday, April 9, 2026, Hope defends Deacon. 

Does Hope meet up with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and defend her father, for Steffy is incredibly upset with him and blames him for the affair? Will Hope keep defending Deacon… even if she goes up against Sheila herself?

Hope Wants Deacon Away From Sheila on B&B

For quite a while, Hope has felt that Deacon and Sheila just weren’t to be. She felt her father deserved someone who didn’t have a homicidal past. So, when she learned Deacon and Taylor had begun to have feelings for each other, she encouraged this affair, even going so far as to become an alibi for Deacon when he snuck out to be with Taylor.

Even Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) has been supportive of Deacon’s relationship with Taylor. However, both Hope and Deke have also recently expressed their worry that Sheila will find out… and make Deacon pay for his deceit.

Now, that time is upon us. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers confirm that Sheila and Deacon have a face-off for the rest of the week, as Taylor has confessed to Sheila about everything. So far, crazy Sheila hasn’t come out to play.

But that doesn’t mean she won’t. So far, Hope has supported her father throughout his affair. Now, it appears that she will continue to, even if everyone else is ganging up against him.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Deacon Can Rely on Hope

As seen from these official B&B spoilers, Hope defends Deacon. Deacon can always rely on his daughter, and even now, that seems to be the case. Steffy and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) may already be blaming Deacon for everything — rather than Taylor — but Hope may be the one to put them in their place.

Whether Sheila comes face-to-face with Hope during this fallout remains to be seen. However, Bold and the Beautiful spoilers have also hinted at how Hope and Deke struggle with this situation, especially as they wonder whether Sheila will act out and go crazy again.

Steffy and her family are also making moves to protect themselves in case Sheila decides to return to her old ways. But will she? Will the old Sheila truly come out to play? 

If she does, no one is safe. If Sheila wants to make Taylor and Deacon pay, why wouldn’t she go after their children, whom they love so much?
