Y&R's Sean Kanan On a More "Refined" Deacon




On Air On Soaps' Michael Fairman spoke with The Young and the Restless scene stealer, Sean Kanan (Deacon) on his current storyline and fan reaction to his popping up on the show:
So let’s move on, and let’s get to your current storyline on “Y&R”.  So when they told you the story that you were going to be part of…

 

SEAN: They didn’t.  First of all I have to confess these actors I know from “Y&R” are the people I met at events or worked across the hall with when I was at “B&B”, but I did not know their characters and all their stories.  I do want to stop and address something here, though. Recently, I saw this on the internet because I am guilty of checking what the fans say because I want to know what they are thinking, that somebody thought that on a recent episode that I called Victoria “Ashley” when I said, “actually”.  So they wrote this whole post saying, “Get him off the show. He called Victoria “Ashley”.  I promise I did not call her that.  And do you think for one minute Paul Rauch would let me call Victoria... “Ashley”?  As far as what the story was, I was operating from the seat of my pants because I did not know what happened to Deacon in the three years since he left LA for Genoa City.  I do know that Deacon seems like he has definitely rounded out his rough edges.  He seems more refined the way Maria Bell (co-exec prod and head writer, “Y&R) is writing the character.  It would indicate that Deacon had polished up his game a little bit.

I hope he stays on Y&R, he adds a lot to the show. I would love for him to be the resident bad boy and would like to see him with Chloe. It is obvious the writers do not want her with Billy.

I used to love him as AJ until they ruined GH. Good for Sean, I am glad he cleaned up his act and is back on daytime.

Deacon? Polished? *spraying my drink*

Did SK have an eyelift? He looks like he's wearing a really tight ponytail.

Kanan's interview was very interesting. It's god to see him back and have his life on track. I didn't realize that he was recurring and not on contract. I think that is the direction of the future for many roles on soaps.

I've always enjoyed Sean Kanan and Deacon Sharpe. He's already got me tuning in to see what Deacon does next. It's good to have him back on daytime.

Deacon's little wink to Amber in the first scene they played opposite each other was priceless. Perfect acting. Although how he was able to infiltrate this entire forgery ring is another (bad) storyline..... that whole story stunk from day one

I see Deacon loosing interest with Amber and turning his attentions to Victoria. Where he finds true love and Victoria is allured to someone who does not neglect her. Deacon also reminds Victoria of her fahter. We all know how she feels about Victor. JT will hate Deacon and that will make him all the more attactive to Vicky. mrbrooksgenoacitynews.blogspot.com
