Bold and the Beautiful: 5 Characters Fans Want Killed Off Forever!

Bold and the Beautiful finds that right now, there are several characters that B&B viewers have said they would like to see gone off of the character canvas. Starting with R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) and Remy Price (Christian Weissmann) and several other people that for one reason or another have fans either wanting to scream or fast forward through their scenes.

We’re going to talk about five characters, actually a little more than five, that fans consistently say they’d like to see gone. So, we’ll talk about why fans are off-put by these characters and want them out. And just to clarify, this is nothing to do about the actors. It is about what fans are saying on soap social media and on fan forums about the characters.

R.J. Forrester: The Smug Nepo Baby

Let’s get right into it. The first thing we got to talk about is nepo baby R.J. Forrester. Ever since they recast him, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) son came back so smug. He acted like he owned *Forrester Creations*, and he’s just so darn unlikable. It’s not the actor’s fault. It’s Brad Bell and his insane writing. From the moment R.J. rolled into *Forrester Creations*, he began pursuing Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace), even though R.J. knew that she was in a serious relationship with Will Spencer (Crew Morrow).

And R.J. immediately approached Will and they made a deal that they wouldn’t be rivals like Bill and Ridge. But R.J. was a jerk to Will almost from the jump. And of course, Ivy Forrester (Ashley Brewer) didn’t help the situation, but her meddling wouldn’t have worked if R.J. wasn’t such a little twerp.

He thinks he’s entitled to whatever he wants, which is Electra. And he has said the nastiest things to Will. Yes, Ivy encouraged it, but R.J. is a smirking little brat boy. And to be fair, I know there are fans who would actually like to see both Will and R.J. out at Bold and the Beautiful. But when it comes down to Will versus R.J., fans are much more annoyed by Brooke’s whiny little boy.

Sheila Carter: A Redemption That Failed on B&B

Another that many fans think can just fade out at this point is Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) for a couple of reasons. First of all is that Brad Bell’s attempt to redeem her was a joke from the start. Sheila is a very bad person. She tried to murder Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and her own son John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan). Plus, Sheila is at loose ends right now.

It was icky to have Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) cheat with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), but they went there. And now that Deacon dumped Sheila and moved on with Taylor, there’s really nothing left in LA for Sheila. The B&B writers shoved her offscreen from the moment Deacon broke things off with her, and now he and Taylor are back, but Sheila hasn’t been seen. Now, we’ve heard about her new roommate, but honestly, there’s not a lot of room on a 30 minute soap to even get into all this. Now, at this moment, I currently suspect that her new roomie might be Remy, who’s another really problematic person. But at this point, why not just leave her offscreen?

I will give Sheila credit for not murdering Taylor when Deacon chose her. But now that Deacon and Taylor are officially coupled up, what storyline is there that’s going to work for Sheila? Without her going back to her old vengeful ways, she’s kind of pointless. I do love Kimberlin Brown, but I just don’t feel like there’s a place or a purpose for Sheila now. And a lot of fans agree.

Bold and the Beautiful: Remy Price – A Criminal Who Doesn’t Belong

Now, another character who just came back, but could have stayed gone is Remy Price (Christian Weissmann). Another case of Brad Bell trying to redeem the irredeemable. What Remy did to Electra was disgusting. And now they’re writing dialogue having Remy say it was no big deal. But it was. And bringing him back into Electra’s orbit and trying to blame his criminal activities on him being in the closet feels tone-deaf and very poorly written. If they want to give Deacon a romantic interest, great. But why Remy? I grant you Christian Weissmann is a good actor. Again, this is not actor issues.

But the character they created was never meant to stick around. Remy was a nightmare predator that came on to terrorize Electra and then he was supposed to be gone for good. Deacon does not deserve to be stuck with that creep. And making him Dylan’s cousin just makes him more icky.

And there’s the fact that Remy seems to not have changed at all. He has no remorse for what he did to Electra. So why not bring in somebody less gross to be with Deacon? Somebody who hasn’t made deep fake nudes of a girl who trusted him. I have seen suggestions that it would have been better if they brought R.J. back as a gay partner for Deacon. That might make him more likable, but the bottom line is Remy just isn’t liked.

Bold and the Beautiful: Electra a Whiny Troublemaker?

And speaking of Electra, she’s another one that fans wouldn’t mind seeing gone. I’ve also seen fans saying Ivy should be gone, but actress Ashley Brewer is out on maternity leave, and I’m honestly not expecting to see her back. It just wouldn’t be proper. But the issue fans seem to have with Electra is that she’s whiny and pouty and self-absorbed. And she never came clean to Will about all the times she kissed R.J. At this point, it seems like Electra was leading R.J. on or, you know, juggling both to see how it fell out.

That came, of course, after he’s been so awful to Will. And even so, we keep seeing Electra defending R.J. Electra just called R.J. sweet while talking to Dylan. And I’m sorry, what? Creeping on your cousin’s girlfriend is a jerk move. And yeah, Will sucker punched him, but he had it coming. So many times, R.J. deliberately goaded and trash talked Will. So, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) told Will, “Good job for the punch.”

Plus, Electra was also unlikable during the whole thing where Dylan had been living on the street and she was in danger. And Electra was so mean to her about staying a couple of months in a spare room over Will’s garage, not even in his main house. And Electra bullied Dylan from the first moment that she moved in there, even knowing how bad her life was. It was awful, rotten, spoiled behavior.

I doubt she would be missed by many if she fell off the Bold and the Beautiful canvas. And I especially see complaints whenever Electra is on back-to-back episodes. Fans want to see less of her or preferably none of her. Despite that, I don’t see her leaving anytime soon.

Carter Walton: Underused and Poorly Written

The last character that fans think might as well exit is Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). So, a lot of fans think Ridge never should have forgiven Carter for stealing *Forrester Creations*. But what I see more fans saying is that Carter is underused and that they don’t write well for him.

You know, we’re supposed to be seeing him and Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) as newlyweds working on the baby making, but in fact, we rarely see Carter and it’s been forever since we’ve seen Daphne. I really enjoyed Carter with Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer) and then poof, she was gone. I didn’t enjoy Carter with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) because of the whole coup thing. Plus, they retconned and faked this insta love and they made up nonsense about how Carter had a crush on her for years. None of that had happened and it felt disingenuous.

So, basically, it seems like Lawrence Saint-Victor only gets screen time to prop other characters.

Other Characters on the Chopping Block

And another character that fans would actually love to see back is Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). And of course, Brad Bell made a big deal out of his return and then it was a couple of episodes and then gone again. So fans felt cheated. Other fan gripes are that Finn has no storyline and just shows up for shirtless couch nookie. I am glad that Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) is back. I love him. And while I do like Brooke, I’m not sure bringing back baby-selling felony flop’s mom Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards) makes any sense.

With a 30 minute runtime, the actual storyline time on a given episode is about 19 minutes. So thinning the cast makes sense, not adding to it, especially not when they’re bringing in irredeemable jerks that have fans fast forwarding through a lot of scenes and sometimes skipping entire episodes.
