Will’s just been left reeling from the reveal of Luna’s positive pregnancy test, but what’s coming next will truly throw him for a loop, as Bold & Beautiful recently foreshadowed a truly distasteful twist in this storyline.
You see, the conversation held some clues as to where this is all headed… and it ain’t looking good for poor Will. It was Electra’s choice of words that set off our soapy senses: She kept telling Hope how “honest” Will was and how she never, ever had to worry about him and other girls.
The key word here is “honest,” as Electra’s about to have her socks knocked off to learn that Will kept a secret from her before they had sex for the first time. Will, as you’ll recall, wanted to tell his girlfriend that someone sexually assaulted him, but his mother convinced him to keep it a secret. Great advice, Katie! Given Electra had her trust betrayed by close friend/stalker Remy previously, she’s gonna go right back to that place in her mind.
That lie of omission will almost certainly be what cooks Will’s goose with Electra when she gets the horrifying news that Luna is not only alive, but has become pregnant by her boyfriend. Rather than focus on the fact that Will was taken advantage of by a opportunistic psychopath, we expect Electra to become fixated on him keeping the truth about what happened “that night” from her… especially given he slept with her the next night.
Electra is 100% correct to have expected honesty from her partner, but unfortunately, we see that technicality being twisted into a narrative where she blames Will (and likely dumps him) over a situation in which he was the victim. Viewers are already calling it:
Blaming the victim would truly be a distasteful twist indeed. It would be unexpected and refreshing to see Electra stand by Will, but it’s more likely that this will devolve into another version of a Forrester vs. Logan battle.
