The Bold and the Beautiful has been playing it fast and loose on whether Electra truly gets a say in what happens at her boyfriend Will’s beach house. But Monday, January 26’s episode proved that she doesn’t actually have any power regarding his space. Will implied this in an exchange with Dylan at his front door before he let her in against Electra’s expressed wishes.
Key Takeaways
- Will pays little attention to Electra’s insecurities.
- Why Electra can’t dictate who’s welcome in Will’s home.
- The beach house is going to a source of tension for the young couple.
Will Makes His Own Decision About Dylan
B&B fans haven’t been feeling Electra’s (Laneya Grace) over-the-top reaction to Dylan living at the beach house and spending time with Will (Crew Morrow). It’s ridiculous for the jeweler to expect Dylan (Sydney Bullock) to stay clear of the main house while she’s on a business trip. Electra called herself setting a boundary, but it took one conversation between Dylan and Will to erase it.
The moment happened after Finn (Tanner Novlan) dropped off Hayes (Bryan David Garlick) to be watched by the pair while he ran off to work. Will had expected Dylan to follow him into the house, but she hesitated. She’d already informed him that Electra had made it clear in no uncertain terms that she was to keep to her own space. But Will waved away her concern with a simple reply that dismissed Electra entirely: “Dylan, don’t be silly. All that stuff from before, forget about it. It doesn’t matter, it never did.”
It certainly matters to Electra. She’s flip-flopped between being happy she and Will can provide Dylan with some stability as she works to get back on her feet, and feeling deeply uncomfortable with another woman sharing a living space with her man. But, for as much as Electra and Will say “we,” when they’re talking about putting a roof over Dylan’s head, it’s actually Will’s house. Electra doesn’t live there, and they aren’t talking about her moving in.
Separate Homes Means Separate Choices
Will blindsided Electra by suggesting that Dylan live with him. Once he realized Dylan was homeless, he was on a mission to fix the issue. Electra agreed and fully backed the idea, but it wasn’t like she had much of a choice. And that’s because she doesn’t get to make decisions about Will’s home, no matter how much they try to suggest that she does. This has been made obvious by her neglect to inform Will of her struggle to be okay with Dylan living with him, and his nonchalant, borderline amused reaction to Electra trying to “lay down the law.”
Dylan and Will are roommates. Will made that happen without considering how it might make Electra feel. He was doing a good deed, but sometimes that can have unexpected consequences. In this case, it’s brewing tension over Dylan that the couple has not addressed with each other. Katie (Heather Tom) asked her son if he wanted Electra to move in, but he simply wants her to spend more time at the beach house at night; sharing quarters isn’t on his mind right now.
Electra lives at the Forrester mansion, but she might start pushing for a new mailing address if she truly begins to lose it over Dylan being at the beach house. Considering Will’s answer to Katie, that could be another point of contention between the couple. Choppy waters seem to be ahead for Electra and Will.
