Ivy is one protective aunt on The Bold and the Beautiful. Her meddling in Electra’s love life has raised fans’ suspicions. One theory is that Ivy’s protectiveness stems from the fact that she’s Electra’s mom, not her aunt. So, is it a possibility that the two could be mother and daughter? Ashleigh Brewer answers the question.
Key Takeaways
- Ivy’s been interfering in Electra’s personal life.
- Ivy claims she’s looking out for her niece’s best interest.
- A fan theory suggests that Ivy and Electra are mother and daughter.
My Aunt, My Mother
Ivy wants Electra (Laneya Grace) to be happy, but her actions have caused heartbreak for her niece. Deciding that Will (Crew Morrow) wasn’t the right guy for Electra, Ivy set about to break them up.
Now that Electra and Will’s relationship appears to be over, Ivy is pushing Electra towards R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti). Ivy’s meddling in Electra’s relationships has certainly raised eyebrows. While Ivy may just be an overprotective aunt, some think there’s another reason for her behavior.
A fan theory has been circulating that Electra is Ivy’s daughter. Brewer is one of the many people who’ve heard the theory, and she discusses it in her new interview with TV Insider. “I can neither confirm nor deny,” the actress jokingly replied. “And I legitimately do not know!”
While Brewer is still in the dark about Ivy and Electra’s real connection, she knows it’s a common plot on soaps. The actress recalls a similar storyline on her favorite show Eastenders. “One of my favorite storylines was when a mother and daughter had an argument, but the daughter didn’t know that the mother was her [mother].”
Ivy’s Secrets
Ivy is already keeping secrets from Electra about sabotaging her relationship with Will. But could Ivy be hiding another huge secret from her niece or daughter?
B&B has featured many maternity storylines, including baby switches and long-lost children. So, it’s possible Ivy and Electra could be the show’s next big maternity story.
Ivy could’ve had a teen pregnancy and asked her sister to raise Electra since she wasn’t able to. But Ivy remained a part of Electra’s life as “her aunt” and formed a close attachment to her. But Ivy runs the risk of exposing her potential, long-secret with her latest actions.
When and if Ivy’s manipulation of Electra and Will is revealed, Electra will demand answers. This might possibly lead to a shocking twist when Electra learns her whole life has been a lie.
