RJ’s grand return to The Bold and the Beautiful is already turning heads. One person who has already attracted RJ’s attention is Electra. A connection is forming between the two, and fans are mixed on the potential pairing.
Key Takeaways
- Although RJ and Electra are both Forresters, they’re not blood-related.
- RJ and Electra have already bonded upon his return.
- Electra is in a relationship with RJ’s cousin Will.
Kissing Cousins
When RJ (Brayan Nicoletti) returned, many fans suspected the writers would pair him with Electra (Laneya Grace). Their suspicions were right because, as seen on the Friday, January 16th episode, the two were already flirting.
Although RJ and Electra are Forrester cousins, they’re not blood-related since RJ’s dad Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) is a Marone. Now that the details are out in the open, the path is clear for an RJ and Electra pairing.
The possibility of RJ and Electra becoming a couple is a hot topic with fans. On B&B’s Instagram page, fans voiced their opinion on a post of the two lovebirds.
Many fans were against the cousins’ romance. “This is gross! Don’t do it B&B!” Another fan hoped that Electra stayed true to her boyfriend, “I’m here for Will and Electra. Leave them be, drama with Dylan is enough.”
However, a few fans were willing to give RJ and Electra a chance. “I think they’re sweet,” declared one viewer.
“Finally, something interesting. I really like this. I hope he has a good story with Electra,” wrote one commenter.
Teen Love Triangle
RJ and Electra’s budding friendship spells trouble for her relationship with Will (Crew Morrow). Will won’t be too happy with his girlfriend spending so much time with his cousin.
If Will’s jealousy increases, it will undoubtedly cause issues at home and at work. Tensions will arise if Will suspects RJ is trying to make a move on his girl, and things might turn physical. But Will asserting his dominance won’t win any favors with Electra.
She’s always viewed Will as kind and caring, but this new version will have her questioning their relationship. The addition of RJ along with Dylan (Sydney Bullock) is going to test the young lovebirds. With Will and Electra clashing over RJ, this works out for Dylan, who has a crush on Will.
Dylan will certainly play a factor in this love triangle. Perhaps she’ll strike up a friendship with RJ to spark Electra’s jealousy. Or maybe she’ll plot to push RJ and Electra together, so she can have Will to herself.
