The Shocking Truth About Deke’s Parentage
The Bold and the Beautiful has never been short on jaw-dropping twists, and Deke Sharpe’s return is no exception. Many fans are asking the same question: who is Deke’s real mother? The answer goes back to one of the show’s most scandalous baby-switch storylines of the early 2000s.
Deke is the biological son of Becky Moore and Deacon Sharpe. But at birth, his fate was rewritten by Becky’s own sister, Amber Moore. After giving birth to a stillborn child, Amber swapped her baby with Becky’s healthy newborn, desperate to hold onto her relationship with Eric Forrester. The stolen child was briefly known as Eric Forrester III, until the devastating truth was exposed.
When Becky and Deacon claimed their son, they renamed him Deke Sharpe, leaving Amber disgraced and Eric furious. Becky later married CJ, but their marriage was tragically cut short when she passed away from illness.
Amber’s Dark Legacy
Amber’s interference didn’t end there. Nearly a decade later, she kidnapped Deke and fled to Italy, reigniting chaos in the Sharpe family. Despite Amber’s desperate attempts to keep control, Deke eventually grew up knowing the truth about his parentage.
Now, his return to Los Angeles places him right back at the center of Forrester Creations’ drama, only this time as his own man—and as part of The Bold and the Beautiful’s first gay male couple.
Deke’s Explosive Arrival in 2025
Deke’s comeback has been anything but quiet. He made his first appearance on September 16, 2025, immediately colliding with Luna in a shocking accident that had everyone believing she was dead.
Just a week later, in the September 24 episode, Deke reunited with his father, Deacon Sharpe. Their emotional moment quickly turned tense when Deke revealed his run-in with Luna, a name that still sparks rage in Deacon. The reunion was interrupted by Sheila Carter, and in true soap opera fashion, Deacon stayed nearby, secretly listening to every word of their heated exchange.
What’s Next for Deke?
With Sheila in the mix, Luna’s shocking return, and Deke navigating life as both a designer and Deacon’s son, the story is only heating up. Will Deacon’s feud with Luna tear his fragile bond with Deke apart? Or will father and son finally find common ground despite Sheila’s ever-present shadow?
One thing is clear: in Genoa City’s sister soap, family secrets never stay buried, and Deke Sharpe’s story is only just beginning.
