Brooke stupidly confiding Hope’s feelings for Finn at Il Giardino turned into a test for Deacon. Ridge’s quest to step back from administrative duties in favor of his design duties meant big things for Brooke. In the Tuesday, June 18 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge and Deacon’s loyalty to the fair-haired Logan resulted in a seriously frustrated Sheila and Steffy.

Loyalty Bro #1: Deacon

Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) easily overheard Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) spill some serious tea to Deacon (Sean Kanan). And now she knows that Hope (Annika Noelle) has feelings for Finn (Tanner Novlan). Of course, she put two and two together and realized if Finn got involved with Hope, she’d be able to have a relationship with Finn. Because, as we know, the world revolves around what Sheila wants.

However, Brooke begged Deacon to keep this news on the down low. Apparently, Sheila decided to test Deacon’s loyalty to her. Too bad she discovered — Deacon doesn’t have loose lips when it comes to Brooke. Despite everything that Sheila tried, mum was the word. He provided no hint of betrayal to Brooke, even when Sheila brought up Hope.

Who does this bode worse for? Deacon or Brooke? Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) or Hope? How about all of the above? A frustrated Sheila with a plan to get on Finn’s good side means disaster, destruction, and despair for everyone in Los Angeles. A hurricane is coming, and its name is Sheila.

Loyalty Bro #2: Ridge

After Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) ran through his whole Brooke’s Bedroom line presentation and re-pledged his belief in her Belief formula, we thought that was it. Brooke would concentrate on creating products and dabble her iconic name and face in front of cameras as well.

Nope, Ridge made yet another executive decision. He re-introduced his brilliant Brooke as Steffy’s co-CEO idea. Although this may have been the first time Steffy heard it. It was exactly the reaction we thought she’d have.

The current environment at Forrester Creations is a definite family versus family situation filled with awkwardness and tension. It’s the Forresters versus the Logans, and so how does Ridge expect one to work with the other? That’s what Steffy wanted to know. In fact, she didn’t mince words. She said she won’t listen to Brooke. And Brooke won’t listen to her. And she doesn’t want this to happen ever.

Poor Steffy — 2024 isn’t going to be her year, is it? Having to rule the roost side-by-side with Brooke. And then possibly contending with Sheila, who will, no doubt, mess with her marriage. Steffy might lose control sooner despite loving to be in control. Meanwhile, Deacon and Ridge—Brooke’s most loyal supporters—might live life in the doghouse for a bit.
