Should B&B’s Dylan Take Ivy’s Money and Run?
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Ivy has a naughty plan. Some would say it’s “not proper.” She told Dylan that if she leaves town, she won’t tell Electra what happened. But this plan comes with a catch. Ivy blackmailed Dylan with a full tank of gas.
Key Takeaways
- Ivy spied on Will and Dylan while Electra was away on a business trip.
- She claimed that they were acting inappropriately, even though nothing happened.
- Ivy blackmailed Dylan into leaving town.
Why Dylan Should Take Ivy’s Money
Dylan (Sydney Bullock) wants a fresh start, and Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) could be her “get out of jail free” card. The cost of living in Los Angeles is ridiculous.
Ivy’s money could provide Dylan with a clean break and the ability to lay low and disappear. After all, she wanted to hide out after running over Luna (Lisa Yamada). She didn’t want to deal with the media attention she created.
While Dylan calls LA her home, she’s an outsider. She only has one friend, Electra (Laneya Grace), and by association, Will (Crew Morrow). Her family doesn’t live there, as far as we know. (Could Ivy actually be Electra’s mother?).
She doesn’t have a job or a place to call her own. Her dream already crashed, and she should take the steps to get her life back on track. But that’s not going to happen in a place like Los Angeles.
Why Dylan Shouldn’t Leave Town
Arguably, Dylan shouldn’t run out of LA since she didn’t do anything wrong. Ivy is being irrational about the situation and the couple’s demands. She thinks she can get rid of the problem, even though cracks already exist in Electra and Will’s relationship.
B&B viewers noticed that Will has kept his feelings bottled up inside. He confessed to Dylan how he really felt about the Luna situation. He admitted that he felt like a burden in Electra’s life.
Dylan should confess to Electra and Will about Ivy’s blackmail. But she’d better watch her back. There’s nothing worse than a Forrester scorned. If Ivy feels betrayed, she’ll make it her life’s mission to ruin Dylan’s life and to make sure she gets no opportunity in Los Angeles. (Is Ivy going the way of Aly Forrester?).
What Will She Do?
Taking Ivy’s money is a short-term solution, but she could end up in greater trouble than she is now. On the other hand, she could get the upper hand to expose Ivy and to make herself look good in the end.
Once Electra finds out about her aunt’s dirty deed, she might think differently of her. Electra has a hard time trusting her friends lately. But how will she feel about the woman who helped raise her?
