On the August 6 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Dylan’s mask started to slip a bit. With the revelation that she has followed the Spencers for years, she didn’t learn about their wealth out of nowhere. She has been calculating this move for a long time.
Key Takeaways
- Dylan always claimed she loved Will for who he was, not what was in his wallet.
- On Thursday’s episode, Dylan revealed that she’s known about the Spencers for years.
- The previous episode showed Dylan digging into the Spencer estate and private yacht, suggesting she might be calculating her entry into their world.
- Katie is pushing back and refusing to trust Dylan, and this twist proves her instincts about Dylan’s motives were right on the money.
Katie Questions Dylan’s Past
B&B picked up right where it left off in yesterday’s episode. Katie (Heather Tom) admitted that she actually knew nothing about Melissa Dylan’s past.
Because of that, she questioned Dylan’s intentions with Will (Crew Morrow) and demanded to know why she moved to Los Angeles. Dylan (Sydney Bullock, whose mother is about to come to town) defended herself by explaining that she simply wanted to move to the city to work in the arts.
However, Katie wasn’t buying it. She accused Dylan of intentionally tracking down a rich guy to secure her future. Dylan claimed that wealth had nothing to do with her move to L.A., but she admitted that she had long been a huge admirer of Katie and the rest of the Spencer family.
Dylan Makes a Startling Admission
That’s when Dylan dropped a bombshell confession. She revealed that her mom used to read a lot of Spencer magazines and was inspired by their luxury lifestyle.
Growing up, Dylan was just a small-town dreamer who wanted more out of her life, similar to Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz). Suspicious of Will’s friend, Katie asked if her son even knew about her fascination with his family.
Dylan claimed that Will already knows everything about it, but Katie still had doubts. Despite the intense interrogation, Dylan stood her ground.
She didn’t raise her voice or lose her cool. She insisted that she has worked incredibly hard to get where she is today and is proud of her achievements.
Is B&B Making Dylan the Next Amber?
Dylan reminded Katie that Electra (Laneya Grace) was the one who broke Will’s heart, adding that it hurt her to see him in pain. Katie fired back by reminding Dylan that Will was a very generous and trusting person, making him easy to take advantage of.
Still, Dylan refused to back down. She maintained that she was a genuinely good person who always did the right thing. However, Katie saw Dylan’s responses as a calculated move to get close to the family fortune. Dylan argued that she never wanted to hurt Electra and begged Katie to give her a chance to prove herself.
Much like Amber, Dylan is a small-town girl who could be using her fascination with the Spencers to gain entry into their exclusive inner circle. Amber once targeted a vulnerable man who was on the brink of heartbreak while insisting that she was a good person.
However, Amber relied on wild schemes, while Dylan seems to play a quieter long game by tracking the Spencer family’s luxury lifestyle before making her move. Did she accidentally reveal her opportunistic side?
