Bold and the Beautiful spoilers stunned this week at Electra Forrester‘s (Laneya Grace) behavior. She’s given us whiplash, and it has me wondering if she’s the crazy one and Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) is the one who’s actually sane.
We’re going to talk about Electra’s erratic behavior that varies depending on who’s in the room with her. Is Melissa Dylan totally innocent, and does Electra have some issues that need to be addressed?
Electra Forrester’s Aggressive Shift Toward Melissa Dylan
I noticed the inconsistency with Electra from the first moment that Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) invited Melissa Dylan to stay in the guest house over his garage. I thought, “Okay, that seems a little aggro, but it’s a one-off.” And then this week, it happened again and was much more aggressive. I’m really starting to question what’s going on with Electra.
Earlier this month, back around the January 1st and 2nd episodes, after Will offered Dylan a place to stay, she thanked him and Electra. She was so grateful. She’s been living in her car; the poor girl’s homeless. Dylan nicely told Electra, “Thank you so much,” and said that she’s glad Electra has found such a nice guy like Will.
When Dylan was sharing her story with Will and Electra, they told Dylan she came to the right people because they really care. These super-rich people in Malibu really care. But then other things started coming out.
Is Melissa Dylan Overstepping Her Bounds at Will Spencer’s Guest House?
When Will first offered Dylan the spare room, she initially turned him down. If you remember, she said she wouldn’t be comfortable staying there unless Electra was also there. Electra, by the way, is a whole grown adult that Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) has told shouldn’t be staying over at Will’s so much—as if Ivy has any room to talk.
Anyway, when Dylan said she wouldn’t be comfortable unless Electra was there, to me that seemed very considerate and respectful. She was staying in her lane. Even if Dylan thinks Will’s hot, she didn’t jump at the chance to be near him without his girlfriend around.
When they showed Dylan the room over the garage, she was so happy. She did hug Will in gratitude, but Electra was right there, and it was totally innocent. Then, when Will left to go surfing and it was just Dylan alone with Electra, she suddenly changed her tune.
Electra’s Two-Faced Attitude Toward the New Guest
With Will listening in, Electra says, “We need to help Dylan. She’s my friend.” But then with Will gone, things absolutely change with her attitude. Right off the bat, Dylan told Electra that Will’s so kind for letting her stay there. Instead of agreeing, Electra got aggressive right away. She told Dylan she can’t stay there for very long because even kind hosts don’t want house guests around that much.
To be clear, Electra doesn’t live there and it’s not her house. Will offered Dylan a place to stay and never mentioned a time frame; he just wanted her to have a chance to get her financial footing, get a job, and find a place to live. Electra acted like they were so generous and really wanted to help Dylan, but the second Will was gone, Electra turned on her.
Electra also said that day, “Will wants respect.” I don’t remember him saying that to Dylan as a condition of her moving in. That was just Electra’s buildup to say the next thing, which was to respect Will and respect that he’s her boyfriend. That’s the point she wanted to get to with the respect comment. I’m pretty sure Dylan has been mostly respectful at every turn.
Bold and the Beautiful: Is Melissa Dylan Checking Out Will Spencer?
To be fair, there’s a little more to it. We have seen her check out Will—watching him when he was showering outside—and she kind of looked at him on the most recent episode while he was sleeping on the sofa. You could take it as a creeper, or you could take it as, “Oh, she’s glad he’s getting some sleep. He’s such a nice guy.”
I’m not saying Dylan is 100% innocent, but come on. How can you not glance at a hot guy in an outdoor shower? I live near the beach; you look. I will say that her watching Will nap was borderline for me. However, Electra doesn’t know about any of that stuff.
She doesn’t know that Dylan looked at him in the shower or watched him sleep. As far as Dylan’s behavior has been when Electra’s been around, it’s all been totally innocent. Anything Electra says to Dylan has nothing to do with her checking out Will because she never did it in front of Electra.
The Tension Rises During an Innocent Dinner on Bold and the Beautiful
Fast forward to this week. Dylan is doing what she said she would; she is looking for a job all the time so that she can find a new place to live and get back on her feet financially. She was doing Will and Electra’s laundry to be helpful. Will said she didn’t have to do it, but Dylan insisted she wanted to be useful.
Will insisted that Dylan sit down and eat the chicken he’d cooked since Electra was stuck at work. At first, Dylan said no, but Will insisted that Dylan should sit down and eat with him. So, she did. Again, it was all very innocent. I didn’t feel a flirty vibe; it was a friendly vibe.
Meanwhile, Electra was at work telling Ivy Forrester she felt bad that Will would be eating dinner alone. Dylan behaved at dinner. She didn’t cross a line; she just added some hot sauce and ate. She doesn’t have a job or any money, and I don’t even know where she’s getting food from. When you’re staying at someone’s house and they have dinner, they usually offer you at least leftovers.
Bold and the Beautiful: Electra’s Paranoia and the Shadow of Luna Nozawa
Talking to Ivy, Electra said what a good person Dylan is and what a good friend she is to her. It all seemed very sweet—almost too sweet, if I’m being honest. Both Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Ivy Forrester mentioned something about Dylan staying at Will’s. Ivy said it was inappropriate, and Steffy said once Dylan got on her feet and moved out, Electra could have her boyfriend all to herself.
Maybe that’s what triggered her and got her all worked up, because she went absolutely nuts on Dylan out of nowhere and for no good reason. Will mentioned to Electra that Dylan had some of the chicken he cooked, and Electra made a remark to Will about him replacing her. He promised to cook for Electra when she’s back from her business trip on Bold and the Beautiful.
Then she told Will that she didn’t want Dylan overstepping and getting too comfortable, and then told Will she’d “handle her.” Handle what? Will asked Dylan to sit down and share food, and she said no initially until he insisted in his own house.
Bold and the Beautiful: The Confrontation at Forrester Creations
Electra texted Dylan and told her, “Come up to Forrester,” and then said she knows about last night, as if something had gone on between Dylan and Will. Dylan told the truth about Will insisting she eat with him. Electra insisted Dylan did the wrong thing and should have told Will no because it was inappropriate.
Dylan did say no, even if she didn’t use the word “inappropriate.” Electra then said, “It better never happen again.” Dylan kind of panicked and said she’ll move out as fast as she can.
What I see is that Electra is sugary sweet and acts like the best friend in the world to Dylan when she’s talking to anybody else. But when Electra is alone with Dylan, it seems like she’s low-key bullying a homeless girl. Why is she doing this?
I think it all comes back to Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada). I think Electra is so paranoid about Will’s now-dead pregnant psycho stalker that she is seeing the worst anytime she looks at Dylan. It almost seems like Electra’s punishing Dylan because she’s so salty about Luna.
Is Electra Forrester Unhinged or Is Melissa Dylan a Threat on Bold and the Beautiful?
I can excuse some of Electra’s behavior because Luna was tormenting Will, but I don’t know how Electra picking on an innocent homeless girl is appropriate. I will say Dylan’s sweetness has made me suspicious about her. She may really be up to no good. Maybe she is stalking Will.
Or, maybe Dylan’s just some poor girl with bad luck being terrorized by a rich girl like Electra, who’s never been broke for a minute of her life and is being unreasonable and unhinged. So the question is, which one’s the crazy one?
