On The Bold and the Beautiful, May 27, R.J. demanded that Steffy and Ridge fire Will. He was upset that Will gave him a sucker punch in the gut. Adding insult to injury, Electra reconciled with Will. R.J. didn’t have a great night. But his obsession with Electra could bring out his inner Forrester.
Key Takeaways
- R.J. wants Will fired for punching him, even though it occurred out of the workplace.
- R.J. insists that he’s the right man for Electra, not Will.
- Despite being Ridge and Brooke’s son, R.J.’s obsession with Electra could mirror his worst Forrester trait.
Ongoing Clash With Will Spencer
R.J. (Brayan Nicolleti) has B&B viewers wondering whether he’s transformed into an entitled Forrester. His ongoing feud with Will (Crew Morrow) and obsession with Electra (Laneya Grace) brought out a different side of him, one that fans never saw before.
R.J.’s reliance on his legacy and behavior has made him a polarizing figure. Upon his return, R.J. strutted into the office with a sense of entitlement. He got to work with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Eric (John McCook), while Zende (Delon de Metz) has waited longer for his work to see the light of day.
Meanwhile, R.J.’s ongoing clash with Will highlighted his privileged attitude. Even though R.J. is Brooke’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) son, he has acted more like a Forrester than a Logan. This sense of entitlement peaked when R.J. demanded that Ridge and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) fire Will for punching him in the gut at the Bikini Bar.
Mirroring the Worst Traits in Forrester
Ridge and Steffy could see that R.J. was acting out of pocket. They told him not to worry about Will since he was back with Electra (Laneya Grace). There was nothing else that he could do about it.
But R.J. wanted to do something about it. He wanted to have control over a situation that was out of his control. Electra told R.J. that she and Will had a history and that her future belonged with Will. She made it clear that she wasn’t interested in him.
However, R.J. can’t get it out of his head that he’s the better man for Electra. His obsession with her has mirrored the most entitled and controlling traits of the Forresters. R.J.’s fixation on Electra spiraled into behavior that fans find reminiscent of Thomas (Matthew Atkinson).
R.J. acts as if he’s entitled to Electra’s affections. His scene with Ridge and Steffy might suggest that he could resort to manipulation to drive Will away from her life. R.J. also exhibits the self-righteous “Forrester heir” attitude that his father has displayed.
Rather than focusing on design, R.J. acts like a gatekeeper of the Forrester family name. He tries to dictate who belongs at Forrester Creations, leaning on his privilege to belittle Will and Dylan (Sydney Bullock). Much like Ridge, R.J. holds others to high moral standards while not taking accountability for his own actions.
