Key Takeaways

- Some of the cast members took a shot at the annual event.
- Viewers sounded off on the March Madness coverage.
B&B Cast Shoot Their Shot
There’s been a lot of drama at the Forrester Creations showroom lately. Electra (Laneya Grace) got into a heated confrontation with Dylan (Sydney Bullock) about her new job (Is Dylan B&B newest victim or villain?). Electra told her she didn’t belong there and that she would never be part of her world.
But that’s not the case behind the scenes on the soap. Grace and Bullock got into a friendly game of basketball, as seen on B&B’s Instagram reel. The cast wanted in on the March Madness fun.
There was no competition here. Grace kept her back to Bullock (who held a mini basketball hoop) as she tossed the mini basketball behind her. It went straight into the basket. Bullock crushed it as well. The two ended their game with a friendly hug.
Not Everyone is Prepared for March Madness
Not everyone crushed it, though. Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer) and Don Diamont (Bill Spencer) tried their hand at it in the hallways of their new studio. But neither of them could get it into the basket. Even Murielle Hilaire (Daphne Rose) and Lawrence Saint-Victor’s (Carter Walton) game in the CEO’s office was a little rough.
The clip ended with Bullock reminding Crew Morrow (Will Spencer) not to throw the ball behind her. The caption read, “Who else is excited for March Madness??” Most fans were upset about the March Madness coverage because they were missing their favorite soap.
One fan wrote, “I don’t like my TV station using my Bold & Beautiful station to televise March Madness.”
Someone else commented, “Not me. I hate March Madness, especially when it’s getting good. Ugh.”
Another viewer answered, “Excited? It always interrupts my favorite daytime shows.”
Meanwhile, other fans were surprised to see the cast get along behind the scenes. There’s so much drama on the show that it’s easy to forget they’re all good friends in real life.
One person noted, “I’m glad to see them getting along.”
