Bold and Beautiful Predictions for 2026: Fierce Rivalry, Exploding Family Feuds and Shocking Marriage Drama!

Bold and Beautiful jump to 2026 and look ahead to next year’s predictions. From Katie Logan (Heather Tom) to Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) to Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada), and more, we’re expecting big things this new year.

Bright and Positive Prediction: Deacon Bails Sheila

Our first preview begins with Deacon and Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). I suspect they may break up soon, even if they end up getting back together. Deacon still has a crush on Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), and Sheila has broken his trust. I think Deacon only went back to Sheila because Taylor told him to. He was trying to remove the temptation to not cross professional lines because the Deacon is his patient, but he is also very hot.

As we enter 2026, no matter what Taylor encourages her to do, I don’t think Deacon can stay with Sheila for long. It’s clear that he wants Taylor. Also, her children, Hope and Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone), will never accept Sheila in their lives. Deacon wants to be at the mercy of his children and have continued access to the grandchildren, and that means Sheila is an ongoing problem.

Deacon Follows Taylor as Sheila Carter Returns to Villainy on B&B

That brings us to our second prediction. I suspect Deacon is meeting Taylor. Whether it continues or not is a question, but I expect a slow burn. I enjoy their friendship and the growing chemistry we see, and there is a real connection there. Of course, Sheila will always be a big problem.

We might see him once again trying to get Taylor out of the way, assuming that would help bring Deacon back, which it wouldn’t. Taylor and Deakoni may be slowly heating up while the fashion house rivalry takes center stage as the new year begins.

Themba and Liam Think About Expanding Their Family on The Bold and the Beautiful

Now that Hope and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) are remarried, I think they might try for another baby. They have this new life together, and Hope was happy that Liam didn’t really have cancer and survived Luna’s shot. They have Beth together, and while Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) is always there, I can see Hope and Liam wanting to expand their family. A soapy twist can be infertility drama, which can give them another obstacle to overcome together.

Luna’s Shocking Return from Presumed Dead in Bold

Luna coming back from the dead feels inevitable. A delayed return would work best, if Will Spencer (Crew Morrow), Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace), Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), and others accept his death and move on. If Sheila loses Deacon she might welcome Luna with open arms and help her plot her revenge, which would be a formidable alliance.

Hope can go Forrester Creations and join Katie’s new fashion house, Logan. He was upset when Steffy forced him to fire Deke, especially after Hope was so happy about the renewal. Hope for the Future and his brother. Once Hope finds out about Katie’s company, she might make a mistake. Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) is already angry at the name Logan, and having Hope join Katie will push her over the edge.

Eric Forrester Meets Katie at the Big Fashion Show

Eric Forrester (John McCook) may bring his designs Logan, He made his new collection the first line of Katie. Brooke recently teased Katie about not having designers, but Eric joining her will change everything. This may set off a major conflict between them Logan again Forrester Creations, with the destruction, lawsuits, and betrayal of the family to come.

Deke may return as part of Brooke and Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) plan to crush Katie and Bill’s company. If Eric is disabled, Ridge may panic and draw more Forresters into the battle. Steffy and Hope could be headed for another amazing rivalry. Forcing Thomas to get back in line and fire Deke reignites all their old problems.

With Brooke and Katie already at odds, the women of Los Angeles head straight to war. Also, Will may propose to Electra that causes Luna to come back from the dead. Meanwhile, Carter Walton and Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) can quickly go from dating to marriage.
