Key Takeaways
- Why Will and Electra are having problems.
- Who could be trying to make a play for Will?
Electra Struggles with Will’s “Betrayal”
Working at rival companies is straining Electra (Laneya Grace) and Will’s (Crew Morrow) relationship. Though it’s for a reason that once again seems unfair to Will. The two made a pact to be honest with one another and not keep secrets. Sitting on information instead of communicating is how their romance got off track back when Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) was manipulating them.
However, the promise they made was based on their personal lives. Or so it seemed. Now, with Electra feeling insecure about her jewelry line and Forrester putting all their collections on hold, the pact has extended to the professional as well. Will wouldn’t tell Electra who Logan’s new designer was. He also didn’t mention the fashion house’s jewelry line or Spencer procuring the Hope For The Future diamond.
Each piece of Logan’s launch directly impacted Forrester. It was designed that way. In the heat of the aftermath, Electra has blamed herself for being blindsided by Will. She expected him to tell her privileged information because of their relationship. The fact that he didn’t has led her to question their bond.
Unfortunately, this is exactly what Will feared would happen. Keeping business separate from their love life hasn’t been achievable for them. He expressed his concern to his family, but they told him that Electra is already competing with other brands. That’s part of the job. However, his concerns were founded because Electra is deeply upset about his silence.
The Logan vs. Forrester Feud’s Affect on Will and Electra’s Romance
Electra and Will aren’t Romeo and Juliet, but they do belong to two families that are currently at war. Their naivety about what that could mean for their romance is evident throughout this storyline. Electra thought Will would be open with her about anything that could affect Forrester or her job. She believed that because she didn’t think he’d do anything to deliberately hurt her.
The problem with that thinking is that not hurting her can’t extend to their jobs. Not when it’s something that wouldn’t directly bring harm to her. Logan didn’t steal her designs or poach an employee from her team. They simply added a jewelry line to the brand, as every other fashion house has. And, at no point, would anyone consider her feelings being hurt by gaining possession of the Hope for the Future diamond. It’s not hers.
On Will’s side, he didn’t consider the position he’d be put in once he decided to go work at his family’s company. Being in competition with the Forresters means being in competition with Electra. There is no way around that reality. Just like there’s no way around not being able to share Logan’s plans with her, especially anything meant to put FC on the back foot.
Will and Electra living together makes all of this worse. As their families plot and plan to one-up the other, they’re caught in the middle. It’s impossible not to be. Coming off what happened with Ivy, the Logan debacle is yet another setback for both of them.
The Women Waiting in the Wings for Will
When life is rocking the love boat, new romantic options tend to come out of the woodwork. Given R.J.’s (Brayan Nicoletti) reaction to Will’s part in Logan’s deceit, we can likely bet he’ll be in Electra’s ear. He’s already pushed for her to reconsider her relationship and insisted that she can’t trust Will. Though R.J. has a tentative romance brewing with Dylan (Sydney Bullock), it’s clear he still has feelings for Electra.
With that in mind, B&B may circle back to Dylan’s love for Will. She set it aside because she wants to see both Electra and Will happy, but they won’t be. Not with the feud hanging over their heads. If Dylan sees Will’s perspective when her best friend can’t, she and the young Spencer may be reminded of the spark between them. It hasn’t exactly died for Dylan, and Will’s never let himself fully go there with her because of Electra.
However, Dylan isn’t the only woman who has caught feelings for Will. A less relationship-threatening option for him, if he and Electra break up, could be entertaining the advances of the co-workers who’ve expressed interest in him. There are multiple young women who’ve tried to shoot their shot and failed. But with Bikini Bar a local hang out spot, he might let a few drinks and some dancing lure him into a brief but good time.
