Hope has decided to draw a line in the sand since she feels like Deacon is choosing Sheila over her. It’s hurtful from Hope’s perspective since she thinks Deacon is throwing away all the progress they’ve made in their father-daughter relationship.

Of course, Hope may be counting on Deacon to eventually surrender to her ultimatum and walk away from Sheila, but that may not be something he’s willing to do.

Perhaps this will turn into Sheila’s opportunity to prove her love for Deacon. Sheila might decide to dump Deacon for his own good and make a major sacrifice for his sake.

If Sheila were in Deacon’s shoes right now, B&B fans know she’d be making different choices.

Let’s consider for a moment what Sheila would do if she had a good relationship with John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) and Hayes Forrester Finnegan (Alexander and Chase Banks).

There’s no way Sheila would throw away her bond with Finn and Hayes for a romance with Deacon. Sheila wants her son and grandson in her life more than anything, so that may affect her view of Deacon’s situation.

Since Deacon won’t cut Sheila loose, she may decide to do it for him. Maybe Sheila will end her engagement with Deacon and urge him to fix things with his family instead.

The longer Deacon stays with Sheila, the more miserable he may become. Even if Deacon claims being with Sheila is enough for him, she may decide she knows best and prove her love by shutting this controversial romance down.

At that point, it could become a matter of how long Sheila and Deacon can manage to stay away from each other!
