‘Fantastic’ Co-Star

Soap fans are vocal when it comes to airing their opinions. Whether it’s a storyline, a character, or a character’s appearance, they don’t hold back. Recently, some B&B fans have been critical of Taylor’s wardrobe choices.

During one of Taylor and Deacon’s sessions, viewers noticed that she was wearing a pair of high stiletto heels. Fans poked fun at the shoes and Budig’s short stature. Well, it didn’t take long for Kanan to notice the online criticism and set everyone straight.

On X, the actor praised Budig while also offering insight into the show’s production. “It has more to do about lighting. When there is a large disparity in height between actors, it creates lighting challenges. Short or tall, Rebecca is fantastic.”

Kanan’s comment section was then filled with applause for standing up for Budig. “She’s a wonderful actress for sure!” wrote one fan.

“Rebecca has range, and I hope you two are given a chance with memorable performances and good script writing,” another fan gushed.

“Looking forward to this story…gets Deacon out from behind the bar!” declared one viewer.

Taylor and Deacon’s Growing Bond

Fans will be seeing more of Budig and Kanan as their characters grow closer. Deacon sought Taylor’s help in dealing with his grief and his marital problems. Little does Deacon know that the therapy sessions will change his life in more ways than one.

Deacon is in awe of the world-renowned psychiatrist and the significant help she’s providing him. As their sessions continue, Deacon will find himself falling for Taylor and vice versa. Taylor will feel guilty about falling for Deacon, since he’s her patient and a married man. Yet, that hasn’t stopped many B&B characters from acting on their feelings.

However, the couple had better watch out for Deacon’s wife, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown). She caught the two hugging in Taylor’s office, and the moment has already ignited Sheila’s jealousy. With Taylor posing a threat to her marriage, Sheila may be targeting the doctor, leaving Deacon caught in the crossfire.
