I'M A REAL JERK!

Its not the most flattering comment one can make about their alter ego,but B&B newcommmer Sean Kanan has no hesitations about calling his character "a real jerk".

Sean, who appears on our screens later this year as Deacon Sharp; little Erics boilogical father said,"this guys not only bad and he's getting worse. He's a totally reprihensible character."

Not that Sean is complaining.He likes to be known as the baddest apple in the barrel. "Its lots of fun playing this guy because so far he has got no redeeming qualities.The guy is a real jerk."

He said,"When Eric grows up we wont see him driving the carpool or being a soccer dad."

Sean hints that Deacon may see the light one day...but thats definately a long way off."I hate it when shows have this bad guy

and all of a sudden something happens and overnight he's a wonderful guy."

"Somewhere down the line it would be nice for the audience to discover why Deacon is the way he is,but not an overnight turnaround where i'm suddenly pals with Rick Forrester and

running errands for Sally."
