Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter has lashed out at Netflix after his most recent show, The Abandons, was canceled following a single season. Sutter exited the series three weeks before it was expected to complete production in 2024. It was reported at the time that Netflix had rejected his 100-minute cut of the pilot episode. The show was given a straight-to-series order for 10 hour-long episodes. Ultimately, the first season comprised only seven episodes. In an Instagram post that he has since tweaked, claiming that he was urged to do so by lawyers, Sutter also revealed that The Abandonscost $150 million to produce. This puts the show’s per-episode budget at more than $20 million, which is what episodes of blockbuster shows such as Severance and Stranger Things reportedly cost.
The Abandons was headlined by Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson, who played two rivals in 1850s Washington. Accusing Netflix of favoring algorithms over his vision, Sutter wrote in his original post, “Dear Netflix, next time fear compels you to choose the algorithm over a creator’s vision. Remember how that choice unraveled a potentially beautiful project. FYI: Shareholders hate it when they learn more than $150 million was wasted on a single show trying to fix unnecessary mistakes of leadership failures – a destructive trend for both Hollywood and Wall Street.” He shared the message alongside a graphic made up of headlines about The Abandons being canceled. He later redacted parts of his post, leaving the image intact and adding the following explanation: “The corporate lawyers have been in touch. And I must heed to binding agreements. The image above is composed of actual PUBLIC headlines. I have adjusted my comments accordingly. My passion sincerely apologizes.”

‘The Abandons’ Received Poor Reviews
The show opened to poor reviews in December 2025, and was canceled a month later. Netflix typically observes viewership for a month before coming to such decisions, and The Abandonslogged over 100 million streaming hours. The show currently holds a 30% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus reads, “The Abandons may wield powerful lead performers, but the flimsiness of its characters, lack of originality, and ultimately fervorless material make for a lackluster experience.” In her review, Collider’s Carly Lane praised Headey and Anderson’s performance, and wrote that even their best scenes “can’t make up for plodding pacing and an uneven focus that leads to the story’s best characters and elements being sidelined.” You can watch the controversial show on Netflix.

The final interview of Hulk Hogan’s life is shown in the dramatic trailer for a documentary series about his very public highs and lows.
The trailer for Hulk Hogan: Real American, which premieres on Netflix Wednesday, April 22, opens with the late pro wrestling legend walking with the use of a cane.
“In wrestling, you should be remembered from all the wars you’ve been in and everything you’ve done,” says Hogan, who died in July 2025 at the age of 71.
He continues, “Some people hate me. But after I’m gone, I think people don’t know the truth. Who was this guy, really?”
Hulk Hogan was undoubtedly crucial to WWE’s stratospheric popularity during the 1980s and 1990s, but he was also a hugely controversial figure on screen and off. Hogan (real name Terry Gene Bollea) — who died at age 71 in July 2025 — publicly apologized in 2015 after leaked sex tape footage caught him using a […]
Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) is shown exercising through obvious pain in the trailer, wincing as he rises to his feet after using a weight machine.
The trailer shows home movies from Hulk’s days as a young parent. He and his ex-wife Linda Hogan share daughter Brooke, 37, and son Nick, 35.
“Life was so clear. Where did that life go?” Hulk asks. “The mistakes shown through.”

Hulk seems to acknowledge his role in the family dysfunction, admitting, “I was running pretty hard partying. Maybe I was drunk, maybe I was high. I don’t know what to tell you.”
The WWE Hall of Famer hints that candidness won’t be an issue during the series.
“You really want me to tell the truth? I know where all the bodies are buried,” he says.

Hulk peels back the curtain on his wrestling career, drawing a clear line between the man outside the ring and the larger-than-life persona inside of it.
“Terry Bollea was just a human being,” he says. “But when I went in that ring, brother, I was Hulk Hogan.”
Hulk continues, “The character helps people, that’s all I know. I can’t predict what the final act of the story’s gonna be. But the legend of Hulk Hogan will live forever.”
Linda, 66, also appears in the trailer and argues the lines between Terry and Hulk got blurred along the way.

“The character was so strong,” she says. “Terry got lost along the trip.”

At least 19 people were injured during the Lao New Year Parade in Louisiana after a driver plowed into a crowd — and he has since been taken into custody after it was determined he’d been driving under the influence.
Louisiana State Police arrested Todd Landry after he was accused of slamming into a cluster of people who’d gathered for the parade.
The incident took place on Saturday, April 4, around 2:30 p.m. Police rushed to the scene in response to reports of an incident “involving a vehicle that struck multiple pedestrians” at the corner of Savannakhet and Melancon Road in New Iberia, according to news releases from the Louisiana State Police (LSP) and Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office (IPSO).
“Several individuals sustained injuries, some of which are believed to be serious,” the IPSO added.

IPSO confirmed that 19 people were evaluated and treated at nearby hospitals for injuries following the crash, according to KATC.
Seven patients were admitted to the hospital and three patients remained in ICU as of the evening of Sunday, April 5, per the outlet.
IPSO also said that the act did not seem to be intentional, though authorities confirmed that Landry, 57, had been drinking at the time of the crash.
Landry reportedly took a breath test, which revealed he had a blood alcohol content of 0.137. In Louisiana, the legal blood alcohol content limit for drivers is 0.08%.

He was then arrested and booked into the Iberia Parish jail for driving while impaired, 18 counts of first-degree negligent injuring, careless operation and open container.
It is not currently clear if Landry has entered a plea or retained legal counsel following his arrest. The IPSO did not immediately respond to Us Weekly’s request for comment regarding the case.
News 15 obtained footage of the incident, which showed several people lying on the ground after they were struck by the vehicle. Meanwhile, others were seen helping those who were injured.
After stopping a car for driving “recklessly” in Colorado, an officer smelled alcohol coming from the vehicle, and then, discovered three children inside the vehicle’s trunk, according to police. The shocking discovery was made in the Denver suburb of Westminster on January 23 and captured on body camera footage made public on Tuesday, February 3, […]

“We were all walking in the parade, listening to music, getting sprayed with water, having fun, and I noticed a guy get into his car, [and]he starts revving his engine and he inches closer to the parade,” witness Eli Anderson told KHOU 11 following the crash. “I just simply thought that he was coming to join the parade … and he inches closer and closer, revs his engine again and just plows through everybody.”
The organizers of the Louisiana Lao New Year Parade took to Facebook to issue a statement about the incident.
“We are profoundly saddened by the news of the incident near the festival grounds. We are awaiting additional details from authorities as they become available,” the statement read. “All security resources have been redirected to the scene, and we currently do not have security personnel available due to the circumstances … We are praying for the victims and for their families during this difficult time.”

Ever wondered how supermodels get that glossy, light-reflecting, off-duty hair that somehow always looks good? It’s the kind of shine that looks smooth, healthy and effortlessly perfect in a way that feels almost unattainable.

Following her emotional split from Braxton Berrios, and the headlines that followed linking her to Tom Brady, Alix Earle is opening up about a late-night decision she now regrets. While appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show” on March 4 to promote her skincare line, Reale Actives, the 25-year-old influencer was asked to share the last bad idea she had. Her answer came without hesitation.
Alix Earle Laughs Off 5 A.M. Text To Ex

“Oh, my gosh. Probably texting my ex at, like, five in the morning after going out,” Earle said with a laugh. “Not the best idea.”
Host Drew Barrymore quickly reassured her, calling the moment “so human.”
Earle went on to describe the moment in more detail, explaining that the text came after a night out and a few drinks. “I was looking with one eye at the phone,” she said, recalling the scene.

In an unexpected twist, her sister stepped in, not to stop her, but to help. “If you’re gonna send this, at least send it with it all spelled correctly,” her sister told her, helping proofread the message before she hit send.
At the time, Earle admitted she felt confident in the decision, even as she waited for her mac and cheese to heat up in the microwave. “I’m like, ‘This is so great,’” she joked.

That confidence didn’t last long. When Barrymore asked how she felt after sending the message, Earle’s response was immediate: “Oh, terrible.”
As for whether anything came of the text, the answer was just as blunt. “We haven’t talked since,” she revealed.
Earle did not specify which ex she was referring to.

The candid admission comes just months after Earle’s breakup with Berrios. The two began seeing each other in the spring of 2023, though their early relationship was surrounded by cheating rumors.
Their relationship later faced new challenges when Earle relocated to Los Angeles to compete on “Dancing With the Stars,” with rehearsals beginning in August 2025. The distance ultimately contributed to a shift in their dynamic.
On December 13, Earle confirmed their split in a tearful TikTok video, making it clear there was no wrongdoing on either side. “It just kind of feels like we’re on two different paths right now, and it sucks,” she said at the time, later adding, “It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong.”
Earle Sparks Romance Rumors With Tom Brady

Shortly after the breakup, Earle found herself at the center of a new wave of speculation, this time involving Brady. The two first sparked romance rumors while celebrating New Year’s together in St. Barts. They were later spotted at the same high-profile event once again, attending the preview weekend party for Zero Bond at the Wynn in Las Vegas.
While Alix Earle has been linked to Tom Brady in recent months, she appeared to downplay any romance rumors during a high-profile red carpet appearance.
Earle attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at LACMA on March 15, turning heads in a red-beaded gown that highlighted her toned figure. While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, she hinted that she’s currently single, and not tied to anyone in particular.

When asked who she hoped to snap a selfie with at the star-studded event, Earle kept things casual. “Honestly, no one,” she said. “I’m just like, maybe I’ll get someone’s number or something? I could meet someone.”
Alix Earle Says Seeing Ex Again Was ‘Really Hard’

Earle has remained open with her followers about the emotional aftermath of her split. In a TikTok shared in late February, she revealed that she saw her ex in person for the first time since October during a weekend in Aspen.
Both attended events tied to the Palm Tree Music Festival, including a pre-party hosted by SipMARGS. “It was honestly just really hard for me, really weird, really hard,” she said.
The pair initially avoided each other, though they later spoke briefly at a second event. Still, the interaction underscored how much had changed. “It’s weird when you go from someone being like your best friend to being a stranger in the corner of the room,” she explained. “So that was tough. And by tough, I mean terrible.”
It looks like GloRilla’s viral moment with her dad and boyfriend Brandon Ingram really ruffled some feathers for Victoria Woods. After speaking on her father’s alleged living situation, she clapped back at critics questioning why she didn’t step in to pay his light bill in place of Glo.
On Monday (April 6), Victoria Woods hopped back online to respond to comments questioning her for being shady instead of simply paying her father’s light bill. Some have even pointed out her newfound spotlight. Standing ten toes down, she made it clear she still feels a way after he appeared to side with GloRilla during a previous live.
“The f*** I look like paying this n**** light bill when he got online and lied on me to try to justify what y’all know was going on? Y’all ain’t hear him on live lying on me? I had to come with receipts and prove everything.”
Victoria continued to speak on her relationship with her parents, sharing how she feels they should have handled the feud between her and her sister differently. She said things could have been different if they had told the truth from the start. In another post, seemingly shading her sister GloRilla, she added:
“And I’m not giving him sh** the difference is I’m honest about it. Folks done dogged me plenty of times. When she wasn’t fw him, he was on my line and I was giving it to him facts. But you wanna threaten to call the police on me when I came to check on my brother? F*** him. My brother was in the hospital and he told the nurse not to let me in.”
Victoria Claims Her Father Is Keeping Her From Her Brother Amid Ongoing Family Tension
While continuing to address critics, Victoria made it clear she’s unbothered by negative comments. However, that’s not going to stop her from clearing the air, especially when it comes to her relationship with her brother. She went on to allege that her father is causing a divide when it comes to her trying to help her brother. She stated:

“My brother is autistic. He has diabetes. And this man telling my brother not to call me, not to text me.I can’t see my brother. My brother, he’s autistic. You don’t even take care of my brother. So yeah, I feel some type of way about that.”
Being that she’s also diabetic, she explained she wanted to go check on her brother. “I’m a diabetic. I try to go check on my brother. I can’t even see my mothef***ing brother because of my b**** a*** daddy.”
Continuing to call him out for taking sides with her sister, she spoke on his alleged finances.“You pick your other daughter side. Y’all know what I’m talking about. He picked her side over mine. He disclaimed and all that other stuff. So no, I don’t f*** with him at all. But I did try to go get my brother and put food in the house. My daddy not doing right. I don’t know what’s going on with the finances. But he ain’t having no money.”
Social Media Reacts
Folks quickly flooded The Shade Room Teens comment section as they reacted to Victoria Woods’ recent rant.While some debated whether her latest crash out was valid or not.

“The guest list grew, so the ceremony and private gatherings associated with the wedding [will be split between the venues],” the insider said, while noting, “Taylor always has a plan B and C for every scenario.”
The first source told Us that about 150 guests are expected to attend, including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Emma Stone and Kelce’s quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
“We share the same love for what we do,” Kelce said of Swift on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show at the time. “Fortunately, we’ve had this desire since we were kids in our selective professions. It’s amazing to see her keep going to the table, keep finding new things to write about, keep finding new melodies and things like that. On top of that, still seeing her have that love and joy in what she does.”
While the Kelce family has largely declined to share specific details about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift‘s wedding, a few family members have shared some insight into the famous couple’s upcoming nuptials. From Jason and Kylie Kelce to mother Donna Kelce, every member of the tight-knit family has been peppered with questions about the couple’s […]
He continued, “Of course that’s motivating. That’s motivating for anybody, let alone my fiancée. I’m going through something trying to figure out what exactly the future holds for me. Something like that definitely motivates me to say, ‘You know what, I’m not done either. I’ve still got some ideas in the back of my mind. I’ve still got some juice left to play this game.’”

Kelce told Pat McAfee that he only had a “short and brief” period where he considered retirement.
“The Chiefs knew where I was the entire time on it,” Kelce explained. “You always need to take a step back, you always need to take a step back. Breathe. Let the emotions settle down and see where the body is and things like that.”

One year into his second presidency, Candace Owens and Marjorie Taylor Greene went from ‘Make America Great Again’ warriors to major critics of Donald Trump. On Easter Sunday, the president shook his supporters when he threatened Iran in a Truth Social post. That led to strong criticism from Owens, Greene, other Republicans and Americans at large. Meanwhile, Iran has rejected a ceasefire
Early on Easter (Resurrection Day), President Trump was on Truth Social making demands to Iran. He gave the country a deadline of Tuesday, seemingly meaning April 7, to comply or face consequences. That post went live at 8:03 a.m. on Sunday morning, Eastern time, and has since racked up nearly 84,000 likes. And yes, the part about dropping an F-bomb with his message? The president did.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Marjorie Taylor Greene Says “Our President Is Not A Christian”
On Sunday, Marjorie penned a long reply on X to a screenshot of Trump’s threat to Iran. She repeatedly denounced his actions as anti-Christian and said he’s not Mak[ing] America Great Again. Also, she blamed the U.S. for the ongoing war, and accused our ally Israel of being the country with nuclear weapons. Over 9.1 million people have seen Greene’s post.

“On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted. Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.”
Greene and President Donald Trump fell out near the end of 2025 when he publicly severed ties. The president even nicknamed his former supporter, “Marjorie Traitor Greene.” At the time, she was heavily backing the public’s demands for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Candace Owens Calls Trump Administration Satanic
Candace Owens was one of over 33,000 retweets of Marjorie’s message about Trump and Iran. In a separate tweet, she critiqued the Trump administration and called Donald the “Mad King.” Furthormer, she asserted the president is not well, health-wise.

“This is a satanic administration. We all realize that satanic Zionists occupy the White House and Congress needs to move to have the Mad King Trump removed. All of our lives may depend upon other countries realizing that Trump is deeply unwell and surrounded by religious fanatics who have convinced him that he is a messiah. We are in uncharted territory. Leaders worldwide need to act accordingly.”
Iran Rejects Ceasefire Proposal As Trump Doubles Down On Deadline
On Monday, Iran rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and said it wants a permanent end to the war. The city of Tehran shared its 10-point response through Pakistan, a key mediator. Their proposal included reconstruction and the lifting of sanctions, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.
“We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again,” Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Cairo, told The Associated Press. He said Iran no longer trusts the Trump administration after the U.S. bombed the Islamic Republic twice during previous rounds of talks.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump appeared to widen his threat from civilian targets to the whole Islamic Republic.
“The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night,” Trump told a news conference at the White House. His Tuesday deadline is set to expire at 8 p.m. The U.S. stepped up threats against Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face a barrage of attacks on civilian targets.

“Today will be the largest volume of strikes since day one,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. “Tomorrow, even more than today.”
Additionally, Israel piled on pressure by attacking a major gas field that is Iran’s biggest source of domestic energy. As of Monday, Iranian and Omani officials were working on a mechanism for administrating the strait. A fifth of the world’s oil is shipped through the strait. Iran’s grip on it has shaken the world economy. The capital of Iran, Tehran, has refused to let U.S. and Israeli vessels through after they started the war on Feb. 28.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Monday, April 6th: Sheila Confronts Taylor
Monday, April 6th, we have got the scene from Friday picking back up on Monday. Sheila has cornered Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) in her office and she’s yelling, “Don’t lie to me.” And Sheila wants Taylor to admit that she and Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) are cheating behind her back. Sheila is in a rage knocking stuff off Taylor’s desk. And we’re going to see Sheila waving a pizza cutter around and just absolutely terrifying Taylor understandably.
And it gets worse because Sheila’s going to find out that Taylor isn’t just using Deacon as some sort of physical rebound from Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). It’s not just sex. Taylor and Deacon have a real love story. And this is Sheila’s greatest fear made real because according to Taylor, Deacon is in love with her. And this isn’t just some little fling.
B&B Spoilers: Deacon Thinks Sheila’s Still Clueless
Meanwhile, over at Il Giardino, Deacon is telling Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) that he thinks Sheila is completely in the dark about him and Taylor. But Hope’s not so sure. And she insists that Sheila still seems suspicious about something. But Deacon says if Sheila really thought he was at Taylor’s that night, he would have heard about it the minute she got home.

Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) is really hopeful. So is Carter. And that’s because Daphne’s taking a pregnancy test. Carter can’t wait to see the test results in just a few minutes. Daphne says they’re about to know if they’re going to have a baby on the way soon.
Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) finds out what happened while they were gone. We’ve got Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) telling Finn that his mom, Sheila, was pounding on the door of Taylor’s room and holding a knife. And Finn is stunned when Steffy says that if Sheila had caught them together, probably both Deacon and Taylor would be dead right now. And Finn obviously knows what a terror his mom is.
Tuesday, April 7th on Bold: Sheila Terrifies Taylor
Tuesday, April 7th, we’ve got Sheila continuing to scare Taylor. So, the confrontation’s going to carry over for a couple more episodes as Sheila continues to rant at Taylor. And you know, she’s just in shock that a woman that Sheila considered to be one of her best friends, even though Taylor told her many times, “We’re not friends.”
But she was falling for and fooling around with her husband, Deacon on the sly. And that’s when we’re going to see the April spoiler that we teased about a heroine giving in to love and putting herself in danger. So, Taylor’s obviously meant to be the heroine. I don’t know how being a cheater makes you a heroine, but okay. And Sheila is meant to be the source of danger, which is accurate, but I think, you know, Taylor may tell her, “Look, I love Deacon. He loves me. That’s how it is.”

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Pregnancy Test Results for Daphne & Carter
Carter and Daphne get their pregnancy test results. So, I am super excited at the idea that we’re going to have a little Walton baby on the way for these happy newlyweds. And I know a lot of fans are wondering if Carter and Daphne are going to face an infertility struggle. I mean, obviously that’s the soapier outcome, but there’s really not a lot of room for multiple stories on the front burner.
Right now, we’ve got the Kid Quad with Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) and RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) and Dylan (Sydney Bullock) and Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) and of course the Sheila and Deacon and Taylor triangle. And that pushed the Katie Logan (Heather Tom) versus Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and the Logan launch thing to the back burner. So, I don’t know if there’s even room for an infertility story, but I guess we’ll find out. I’m just hoping they turn up pregnant.
Also this week, Hope is looking really worried. She’s back at the Logan mansion. She’s talking to Deacon. And I wonder if Hope tells her brother that she thinks Deacon is being way too optimistic and she worries that Sheila really is onto them and their dad might be at risk of physical danger along with Taylor.
Wednesday, April 8th: Sheila and Deacon Talk
On Wednesday, April 8th, after leaving that devastating confrontation with Taylor, where Sheila has found out that Deacon and Taylor have fallen in love, we’re going to see Sheila head home to Il Giardino. And she’s going to talk to Deacon about what she found out about him and Taylor.

So, we’re going to have Sheila and Deacon in an absolutely heartbreaking conversation about their marriage and about Taylor coming between them. I think it’s very clear that Deacon does want to end his marriage to Sheila to be with Taylor, but at the same time, I don’t think Deacon wants to be cruel to Sheila. He just, I think, wants her to evaporate out of his life. And of course, it’s not going to be that easy.
Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Ridge Goes on a Tirade
Meanwhile, over at the Malibu house, Ridge is there and he hears shocking news from Steffy about what went down with Taylor and Deacon while she and Finn were out of town for just one night. Ridge is stunned and he’s ranting, wanting to know why Taylor would do this with Deacon, knowing he’s married to a psychopath like Sheila.
Also, we’re going to have Ridge and Steffy and Finn rushing to try and keep their family safe from Sheila. So, I don’t know if they’re going to run over to the hospital, run over to Il Giardino. Maybe more to the hospital to see Taylor. And you know that’s under the assumption that Sheila is going to come after Taylor for fooling around with Deacon, which given her history, yes, that is what Sheila would do. Hope and Deacon struggle with what’s going on and they’re really worried that something bad may happen.
Bold and the Beautiful Spoiler: Sheila Carter – Carter Walton
Thursday, April 9th: A Perfect Match Ends on Bold and the Beautiful
On Thursday, April 9th, Deacon and Sheila take a look back at their relationship timeline. And this vague but official Bold and the Beautiful spoiler I believe is about Deacon and Sheila that says a couple thought to be a perfect match brings their love story to an end. So, I think they’re going to have a look back, you know.
And another spoiler says that Deacon listens as Sheila confesses how much pain that his betrayal with Taylor is causing her, but that in the end Sheila says she’s going to walk away and not do anything that she will regret. I.e., something that will send her to prison like hurting Taylor. And Hope comes to Deacon’s defense on Thursday. That may be something to do with Steffy.

Friday, April 10th: Deacon & Taylor Being Watched
Friday, April 10th, after he and Sheila officially call it quits, Deacon’s going to run over to be with Taylor, but she and Deacon do not realize they are being watched. So maybe it is by Sheila, but then again, it could be Ridge or Steffy looking for a confrontation. I doubt they’re going to believe that Sheila really will go away quietly and isn’t a danger.
Week of April 13th-17th: Taylor & Deacon Relationship Goes Public
The week of April 13th through the 17th, after walking away because Deacon has fallen for Taylor, we’re going to see Sheila reeling in the aftermath of this betrayal and heartbreak. And the question is, is Sheila really going to take the high road? It’s kind of hard to imagine. You know, she may stalk them and just stay back, or she may get increasingly angrier and decide the high road isn’t for her.
Deacon and Taylor’s relationship is going to become public and official. And a lot of people are going to have very strong opinions about that. People are going to be taking sides. We know Deacon and Hope will be on the side of the new couple and Brooke might be as well. The Forresters are all going to be against it. And I think the Spencers, you know, may be happily stunned for them.
They don’t really have skin in the game, except if you remember, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) was planning to invest in Deacon’s Il Giardino expansion. And he may be much happier knowing that Sheila is out of the picture. Steffy and Ridge fear what is next. They’re worried Sheila won’t stop. And Taylor may face serious consequences from Steffy. But even if she kicks Taylor out, I am sure that Deacon is going to be right there waiting on her.
