Key Takeaways
- B&B viewers speculated on Ivy’s changed behavior.
- Ivy was seen as the “good girl” who had once been in love with Liam.
- Ivy is no stranger to blackmail, as witnessed by her dark past.
B&B Viewers Witness Ivy’s Character Change
Both current and new viewers feel as if they witnessed a character change with Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer). She’s quietly dictated Electra’s (Laneya Grace) love life from behind the scenes. At first, she supported her niece’s relationship with Will (Crew Morrow), but the tides have turned.
She didn’t agree with Dylan (Sydney Bullock) living in the same place as Will. Ivy saw their living situation as inappropriate. She went out of her way to make Electra feel insecure about the situation.
Ivy was supposed to be too sick to attend Electra’s business trip. However, she was well enough to go spy on Will and Dylan while her niece was away. Though the two did get a little too close for comfort, Ivy saw that night as inappropriate.
As a result, she tried to drive Dylan out of town. When that didn’t work, she stole Electra’s letter and Will’s necklace to make it seem as if they had broken up. Ivy has manipulated a situation and blackmailed others, which is nothing new for her.
A Look Back at Ivy’s Past With Aly
There’s a good reason why Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) doesn’t like Ivy, and it’s not because of Liam (Scott Clifton). However, their feud did involve him. Ivy and Liam started dating after Hope (Kimberly Matula) married Wyatt (Darin Brooks, who recently announced his split from Kelly Kruger).
Steffy returned to Los Angeles and seduced Liam. This led him to dump Ivy at Aly’s (Ashlyn Pearce). Ivy recorded the night on the dark highway that involved Steffy and Aly. She captured the moment that Steffy seemingly killed Ally.
It was out of self-defense, but Ivy skewed things from her perspective. She claimed that it was murder. Also, she argued that Aly didn’t have a weapon in her hand, as Steffy claimed.
Instead of turning the video over to the cops, Ivy used it as blackmail to become the new face of Forrester Creations over Steffy. What’s also interesting is that Ivy thought Thomas (Pierson Fodé) was blackmailing her. But she wanted him to keep quiet about Aly’s murder.
Ivy’s Past Mirrors the Present
At the time, Ivy wanted something in return. She wanted to become as famous as Maya (Karla Mosley) did. She resorted to blackmail and manipulation to distort the situation out of her hatred for Steffy.
Recently, Ivy blackmailed Dylan, and that failed. Dylan remained defiant by staying in town. But now, she wants Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) to keep her secret about stealing Electra’s letter because she doesn’t want her with Will.
What will Daphne do? Will she confront Steffy about Ivy’s manipulation? Or will she butt out of the young drama that’s brewing?
