Bold and the Beautiful: Dylan Star Shocks Fans – Could She Become the Next Steffy?

Bold and the Beautiful fans, we have got some new info about Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock) coming straight from a new interview with actress Sydney Bullock where she hinted she could be the new Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).

We’ll get into exactly what Sydney said and what that means for her character storylines. It’s We’re going to talk about how Dylan might soon take a page out of Steffy’s playbook to get what she wants.

Bold and the Beautiful: Sydney Bullock Drops Hint

Now, let’s talk about what we can expect to see from Dylan. So recently, Sydney Bullock was on a podcast and she was talking about her character. And in the interview, the Dylan actress said that she is currently watching season 24 of Bold and the Beautiful because she had a meeting with headwriter Brad Bell.

And he mentioned that there’s a character in season 24 similar to the character of Dylan, or rather a character in season 24 that’s similar to what Dylan is going to grow into. So, Sydney Bullock said she wanted to do her research. That’s why she’s watching season 24 because Brad Bell pointed her to it.

So, I just took a look back at what happened in season 24 because it’s been a minute, right? So, there was a lot that went on. A lot of it to do with Steffy versus Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). That was in the early stages of the love triangle with those two fighting over Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton).

And given what’s going on now with Dylan, that makes perfect sense. But the big question is whether Brad Bell is going to be writing Dylan as the Hope character or the Steffy character because clearly this is a brand new love triangle. And Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) obviously would be the new Liam Spencer in this three-way dynamic.

Bold and Beautiful: Dylan Following Steffy’s Playbook

Back in season 24, Steffy was pushing hard to get Liam, who was in love with somebody else. He was in love with Hope. And we’re getting those vibes right now with Will insisting he’s still in love with Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace). And Dylan is doing all she can to make Will her man. So, back in season 24, that was 2010, 2011, and it was fresh off Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) choosing Katie Logan (Heather Tom) over Steffy, and she was crushed.

Then she slipped in her bathtub, she fell, she hit her head, she almost drowned, but Liam found her and gave her CPR and saved her life. And at the time, Liam was very much with Hope. But I think at that point, they hadn’t slept together yet. But after Liam saved her, then Steffy developed a deep attraction to Liam. Think about that in terms of Will and Dylan. When she was homeless, Will rescued her. And this week, Dylan told both Jessica and Electra that Will literally saved her.

Bold and the Beautiful: Bill Plots with Dylan?

After Liam saved Steffy and she decided to pursue him, that’s when it really intensified and started building that long-running rivalry with Hope. And then later that year, Steffy seduced Liam and Hope caught them kissing and she left her engagement ring behind. And then with Liam on the rebound, he proposed to Steffy.

That was when Liam and Steffy got married in Aspen while a distraught Hope watched while locked in a gondola. If you don’t remember, Bill was plotting with Steffy and he helped trap Hope to keep her away so that Steffy could marry Liam. So, she was stuck up there and Hope had to watch them get married from above.

Now, this is pretty interesting because I could totally see Bill getting involved with Dylan, who is trying to win Will the same way that happened with Steffy and Liam. But back in the day, Bill thought Steffy would be better for Liam than prudish Hope.

And now, I can see Bill wanting Dylan with Will. We’ve seen Bill say that Will needs to move on. He doesn’t like what Electra put Will through with all the nonsense, saying he was lying about work secrets. However, that will put Bill at odds with Katie, who told Will not to give up on Electra. I honestly thought it was not good advice from Katie.

Dylan’s Transformation and Sabotage on B&B

Back in season 24, this was the hard launch for the long-running Steffy, Liam, and Hope triangle that has mercifully finally ended after going on for way too long. And this was the same season, if I recall correctly, where Steffy sabotaged Hope at a Hope for the Future fashion show.

Steffy tampered with the sign so it read ho for the future. It was funny but mean. Given that Electra’s got a jewelry line that does launches, we could see Dylan getting really mischievous and tampering with an Electra jewelry launch to make Electra look bad or embarrass her the same way that Steffy did to Hope.

And it sounds like based on what actress Sydney said, we could see Brad Bell taking Dylan in the same direction he took Steffy because based on season 24, she doesn’t fit the mold of where Hope was. So that would be kind of wild because Dylan started out really sweet, really genuine. Even now, she truly cares about Will and wants what’s best for him.

Meanwhile, Electra to me feels more like Steffy at this point because Electra is bullying Dylan and Electra is bossing her around again, telling her what she can and can’t do, can and can’t date. And that sounds much more like what Steffy did with Hope back in the day and all the way until now. But Brad Bell does what he wants. So, you know, I think he’s taking Dylan in that Steffy direction.

Bold and the Beautiful: Dylan’s Getting Tougher

And we’re already seeing a change in Dylan. When Electra told her that she can’t date Will, she didn’t just roll over and take it. Dylan really stood up to Electra and she reminded her she’s the one who made this choice. She dumped Will more than once. And Dylan also reminded her a couple of days ago, Electra told Will she’ll never be with him again.

So Dylan made the valid point that if Electra and Will are never going to be together, why should Dylan sit this out? Why should she miss out on a chance to be with Will, a guy that she really likes?

And Dylan reminded Electra she has her own history with Will. And Dylan showed a whole lot of sass and that could foreshadow some Steffy 2.0 sort of attitude where Dylan’s ready to fight, maybe even ready to fight dirty.

Electra was super mad. Tried to pull the whole sisters before misters card. Then told Dylan that she and Will took her in. That’s not true. Electra didn’t live with Will and that wasn’t her house. And Electra wasn’t the one that offered to let Dylan stay there. That was all Will’s doing.

And before Dylan even unpacked one sock in the room above his garage, Electra was up there being a nasty bully. She terrorized Dylan and threatened to put her back on the streets if Electra felt like Dylan put one foot out of line. So, after this showdown, when Electra called Dylan the B-word, I think all bets are off.

Katie’s Advice and Electra’s Ultimatums on B&B

Problem is, just as Will realized he needed to find a way to let Electra go, his mom Katie came in with that terrible advice. I don’t know what’s the point of her telling Will to chase Electra because that girl will never make Will her priority. She will always try and run his life and Electra expects him to violate his loyalty to his family for her in ways that make no sense.

She’s never shown Will a moment of grace and always thinks the worst of Will in every situation. But Katie encouraged Will. So by the end of this week, he goes to see Electra and Will’s asking for them to reunite. But I’m sure Electra won’t get back with him because of Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Eric Forrester (John McCook) and R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) pressuring her about who she can date.

And I do wonder if Electra tries to tell Will that he cannot date Dylan. So Electra may try and pull some of that ultimatum stuff she likes to do. She didn’t get anywhere with Dylan, so she might try it with Will. I’m pretty excited about this if they’re going to make Dylan more devilish like Steffy was back in the day. So, definitely sounds to me like Dylan, Will, and Electra are the new Steffy, Liam, and Hope. And maybe R.J. is supposed to be the new Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks). We’ll see.
