Dylan is already too secure about her new romance with Will on The Bold and the Beautiful. She told her mom, Darcy, that she believes that what they share is real and strong. Because of this, she doesn’t fear his ex will fight for him back. However, unresolved feelings don’t just vanish overnight. A new relationship cannot erase years of history between two people.
Key Takeaways
- Dylan feels secure in her new relationship with Will.
- Dylan openly admitted to her mom that Will still loves Electra on some level.
- Will can develop feelings for Dylan while still carrying pieces of his past.
Dylan’s Shield of True Security
Dylan’s (Sydney Bullock) not pretending that the past never happened. She knows the history between Will (Crew Morrow) and Electra (Laneya Grace).
On Tuesday’s episode, Dylan told her mom, Darcy (Kelly Sullivan), about Electra and Will’s history. She admitted that Will still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend, which concerned her mom.
Dylan admitted she lost Electra’s close friendship because of her new romance. Yet, she still thinks her bond with Will can survive anything. Even his feelings for the love of his life. Will and Electra were kind of a big deal in Los Angeles, long before Dylan came along.
So, it takes a lot of courage on Dylan’s part to hold onto that kind of trust. She already thinks she can trust Will not to step out on her.
Will’s Divided Heart
Will is caught between two different truths right now. He can develop genuine feelings for Dylan and still have love in his heart for Electra.
As soap viewers already know, the heart can be fickle sometimes. Those feelings don’t cancel each other out, just because there’s still love for an ex.
This doesn’t mean Dylan is just a rebound choice. It simply means human emotions are messy to untangle, as it is for this young group.
Electra’s Silent Shadow Lurking
The true danger to this couple isn’t Katie (Heather Tom), who’s trying to break them up. The danger is what happens to Will when his old feelings for his ex linger.
Dylan might be underestimating the power of their history, believing her love can save Will. What she doesn’t realize is that love can be real, messy, and fragile all at once.
Will and Electra’s unresolved past can always find a way back in. On Tuesday’s episode, Will told Electra that he still wants to be part of her life.
Will and Dylan’s Fragile Road Ahead
Some B&B viewers have noticed that it was too soon for Dylan to confess her love for Will. Understandably, Will and Dylan’s relationship needs time and space to grow.
But Will wants a bright future with Dylan. That doesn’t mean that he’s ready to move forward. His heart is still heavy from his ex-girlfriend dumping him several times.
Dylan is being brave by being the new woman in his life, but that bravery can’t erase his past. Both of them will have to face the hard truth that love is rarely simple.
