“The Bold and the Beautiful” newcomer Harrison Cone, who plays Remy Pryce’s (Christian Weissmann) handsome new boyfriend Deke, is already making waves only days after his debut.

Longtime fans are already intrigued by his backstory, and for good reason. Not only is he part of the soap’s first gay male couple, but he’s also said to have surprising ties to a major character.

So far, fans know that Deke is an aspiring fashion designer with dreams of working at Forrester Creations. He’s also Remy’s boyfriend, and the two are already living together.

But now, new theories emerge about Deke’s family ties on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Soaps.com notes that Deke could be Deacon Sharpe’s (Sean Kanan) son, Eric Sharpe.

One telling hint comes from the credits, where Cone’s character is listed as “Deke Sharpe.” Plus, his first name, Deke, could be a nod to Deacon.

Who is Deacon’s Son?

Longtime viewers of “The Bold and the Beautiful” probably know that Deacon has a son with the late Becky Moore. They named him Eric Sharpe.

Deacon once fell in love with Becky but walked away from her and their son. Becky then handed the boy over to Amber, who raised Eric with Rick Forrester at the time.

Ultimately, Deacon gained custody of the boy and briefly raised him with his then-wife, Macy Alexander. The last mention of Eric revealed he was staying with his grandparents.

So far, Deacon and Deke haven’t crossed paths on the show. But if Deke really is Deacon’s son, a reunion is inevitable.

“The Bold and the Beautiful” speculation suggests the Il Giardino owner will be thrilled to see his son in town. But will Deke feel the same way?

For years, Deacon’s focus has been on Hope, and he’s never once mentioned his son. This suggests they have a strained relationship. Is there any truth to it?

Deke’s arrival is sure to shake things up for Deacon. He could potentially cause problems for Deacon and Sheila’s marriage.

Then there’s Hope, who may or may not be so welcoming of her half-brother. Will Deke’s arrival lead to a new family bond, or bitter family feuds?
