Electra’s Harsh Words to Dylan
The biggest factor in Will’s (Crew Morrow) and Electra’s (Laneya Grace, who has 7 fast facts) relationship was his support for Dylan (Sydney Bullock). During the holidays, she was invited to stay at his beach house after they discovered she was homeless.
But then Electra wanted her friend back on the street after Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) misinterpreted what happened the night she was away on a business trip. Electra and Dylan were close friends, but that’s no longer the case. Electra had questions about her friend’s intentions.
Electra told Dylan that she would never be welcomed in her world of luxury and fashion. In fact, Electra said that Dylan didn’t fit in there. Ouch. In an interview with Swoon, Grace defended Electra’s harsh words about her friend.
“Electra was very much acting out of anger and out of hurt in that moment,” Grace explained. “She wishes no ill will towards Dylan. In fact, she loves her and wants her to be her friend, but I think she was acting very protective with her relationship with Will.”
Electra felt Dylan wanted Will for herself. So, she served Will an ultimatum: it’s either her or Dylan. He chose Dylan because he didn’t want to see her back on the streets again.
“There’s always a reason that the character does what she’s doing. The writers are really good about justifying Electra’s actions with her feelings,” Grace added.
Laneya Grace and Sydney Bullock Duel BTS
Grace and her co-star, Sydney Bullock, got into a playful catfight behind the scenes. In the Instagram reel, Grace let out her inner mean girl. The two filmed the social media sketch for the launch of the BBTV streaming app.
“Oh, I had so much fun doing that,” Grace said. She wanted to channel her inner “Miranda Priestly” (from the hit film, The Devil Wears Prada) for the video. “I got to punch it up all the way to 12 out of 10. It was so much fun to be able to go so big,” Grace noted.
Grace had a little too much fun being mean. Does that mean Electra will become a bad girl on B&B? We’ll have to stay tuned to find out.
