Decon's story arc on The Bold and the Beautiful

Deacon Sharpe is the notorious bad boy of The Bold and The Beautiful. He first appears on the show in 2000 and immediately gets himself into all kinds of trouble. Starting by trying to blackmail the Forresters and then by marrying Bridget Forrester to get close to Bridget's mother, Brooke Logan, with whom he was having an affair. The affair resulted in the birth of their daughter, Hope Logan.

Deacon's life seemed to spiral down as he got involved in various schemes, including blackmailing Amber Moore after she and her friends discovered a hidden treasure. He had a flirt with Macy Alexander, which ended in her tragic death in a car accident.

Deacon then moved to The Young and the Restless, where he blackmailed Amber Moore, who was previously his lover and got involved with Nikki Newman during her struggle with alcoholism.

After serving in prison, Deacon returned to The Bold and the Beautiful to pick up where he had left off in his past relationship with Hope Logan. However, he found it hard to shake off his criminal and manipulative personality.

He would later be involved in romantic relationships, first with Quinn and later married. Further in the series, Quinn manipulates Deacon into criminal activities, including the plot to kill Liam Spencer, which fails.

Deacon re-emerged in Los Angeles, became a bartender, and tried to start his life over. He reunited with his daughter, Hope, and tried to be a better man for her.
