The Bold and the Beautiful will have a Thanksgiving episode this year, which means fans can anticipate a heartwarming gathering. However, CBS’ summary for the festivities may have spoiled fans about whether Deacon and Sheila’s romance is still going strong.

Key Takeaways

• What will happen during B&B’s Thanksgiving episode.
• Sheila and Deacon’s relationship status.
• What this means for Taylor and Deacon’s romantic prospects.

Deacon And Sheila Spend Thanksgiving Together

According to the episode description for Wednesday, November 26’s Thanksgiving episode, the spouses won’t be separated for the holiday. They’ll both be at Il Giardino and, out of the goodness of their hearts, they’ll be inviting Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) to eat with them. Check out the full summary below:

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Finn (Taylor Novlan), Taylor (Rebecca Budig), Kelly (Sophia Parras McKinley) and Hayes (Alexander and Chase Banks) share a family Thanksgiving together with a surprise guest. Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and Deacon (Sean Kanan) celebrate the holiday at Il Giardino and much to their surprise, graciously extend an invitation to Carter and Daphne.

Sheila, Deacon, Carter, and Daphne are an odd combination, but what stands out the most is that the couple is celebrating Thanksgiving together. While it’s doubtful they’ll have worked everything out by the end of November, it does seem like a good sign that their marriage is holding on.

Deacon has been struggling over Sheila’s decision not to tell him her granddaughter Luna (Lisa Yamada) didn’t die. He despises the young woman because she murdered two of his friends. However, Sheila was hoping that Luna’s second chance at life would inspire a change in her behavior, but alas, it did not. Choosing to withhold the truth, even though she did plan on telling Deacon the day he found out, has put a strain on their marriage. It’s also opened the door to a potential romance with Taylor.

B&B May Not Be Done With Taylor And Deacon

Although Deacon and Taylor won’t be at the same table for Thanksgiving, Rebecca Budig’s appearance in the episode means fans could be in for some pining. Or maybe even a sneaky phone call.

The writers have definitely been flirting with the possibility of the two being the next ill-advised relationship on the soap. Sheila already caught them in an embrace that looked a bit too intimate. Deacon has also made an inappropriate comment or two during his therapy sessions.

If the plan is to slow burn them as Deacon figures out what he wants, Sheila and Deacon being together for Thanksgiving may not be the balm the two need to fix their marriage. It might just be a band-aid. We’ll see as B&B slips toward Christmas whether the couple will be ringing in the new year together or parting ways.
