The Bold and the Beautiful is laying the groundwork for a devastating heartbreak for Dylan. She stepped in and filled the space after Will and Electra’s breakup. Now that they have reconciled and moved in together, Dylan finds herself as the odd woman out in a love square that remains unfinished.
Key Takeaways
- Electra agreed to take Will back and to move in with him.
- Dylan admitted to R.J. that she still wants Will.
- R.J. still wants Electra, whose heart is set on Will.
- Dylan finds herself as the odd one out.
The Forrester Legacy Shield
Electra (Laneya Grace) and R.J. (Bryan Nicoletti) are part of the Forrester Creations legacy. Though they share the same name, they are not related by blood. R.J. is a Marone, even though B&B turned him into an entitled Forrester these days.
Because of this, R.J. and Electra were free to pursue a romantic relationship. R.J. was convinced that he was the better man for Electra. He envisioned them carrying the torch together. Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) planted this idea in his head as she rooted for them.
She manipulated Electra’s relationship with Will (Crew Morrow) to get closer to R.J. As Will pointed out, R.J. is the “golden boy” who gets his family to fight his battles. He managed to get Will fired from Forrester Creations for punching him.
However, Dylan (Sydney Bullock) is an outsider who’s exploring this new world. As a non-legacy character with a troubled past. Some would say that R.J. is the one who’s shaking up Will and Electra. But Dylan’s being used as a pawn to test Electra and Will’s stability rather than acting as a long-term priority.
The True Heart of Conflict
Will defended his decision to have Dylan live with him. He didn’t want her back on the streets. He also allowed her to lean on him when he was heartbroken over his split from Electra. Will felt that Dylan was a welcome distraction from the pain of losing Electra.
But their romance fizzled as soon as Dylan moved out. Will’s primary motivation was to win Electra back, which worked in his favor when the truth was revealed. On Tuesday’s episode, Dylan confessed to R.J. that she still had feelings for Will.
Meanwhile, R.J.’s feelings for Electra haven’t died. He was upset when he learned she agreed to take Will back and to move in with him. It became clear that Dylan is not a romantic interest for Will. She’s simply a landing pad for his loneliness and frustration.
Now that Will has been fired from Forrester Creations, R.J. could try to get closer to Electra at work. If Will loses Electra to R.J., he could enter a relationship with Dylan out of necessity, not genuine affection.
Either way, Dylan could end up in heartbreak. Deep down, she knows that Will loves Electra and that he could never love her the same way. Therefore, she’s the odd person out in a love square that is yet unfinished.
