3 Storylines We Can't Wait To See This Fall

Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Sheila Carter's love story is the one we're extremely excited to see play out. Her reign of terror has made her seemingly irredeemable, but surprisingly, the villainess does have a heart. She loves Deacon and her biological son Finn deeply, but her twisted mind causes her to constantly make bad choices. Because she's the town pariah, Deacon's treading a slippery slope if he wants to continue to have a steamy romp with her. Soap Opera Digest's spoilers reveal Deacon will become concerned that their relationship could cause him to lose his restaurant, Il Giardino, and his daughter, Hope Logan, so the two consider calling it quits.

Meanwhile, because Sheila's insistence on being in Finn's life caused Steffy to head for the hills, the previews claim that Finn's going to try to sort out his feelings for Sheila while using his job as a doctor to distract himself. It also states that his adopted mother, Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda), is going to urge him to not only pursue Steffy and reconcile with her, but also terminate Sheila once and for all. We're excited at the direction this story is headed. Sheila and Deacon have amazing chemistry, and we feel bad for Finn who's conflicted about wanting to love his evil bio mom versus loving his wife. Add to the mix the prospect that he might try to kill Sheila, and you've got a recipe for edge-of-your-seat soapy goodness!
