The Bold and the Beautiful has not been fun to watch if you’re a fan of Will Spencer. The poor young man is verbally abused daily by multiple people when he just wants to go to work, do a good job, and go home to his beach house. Last summer, the boy was raped by a crazed former Forrester intern, so it’s not been a good year for Will. At least two people finally came to his defense and those two people were Brooke and Ridge.
Yes, Will is proper
On soaps, it’s hard to just find a nice guy who just wants to be kind to people with zero drama involved. Heck, it’s hard enough to find that in real life, but B&B has Will (Crew Morrow), a poor put-upon young hero who legitimately did nothing wrong. Yet, Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) makes him out to be the most horrible man that ever lived, and frankly not proper, not proper at all.
However, as soon as Ivy claimed that Will was beneath Electra (Laneya Grace), Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) had to finally speak up. Yes, she would love to see RJ and Electra get together, but Will was a good kid and her nephew, and not at all a monster or beneath anyone. Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) also had to chime in and tell Ivy that he genuinely liked he kid, despite him being Bill Spencer’s (Don Diamont) son.
Dylan has her say
And it was nice to see someone (anyone) stick up for this poor kid as he constantly gets maligned for trying to help a homeless girl out for a while. And that brings us to Dylan (Sydney Bullock), who had to give RJ (Bryan Nicoletti) a lesson on how the planet actually works. Yes, some people in the world live paycheck to paycheck and actually have to work in order to eat.
Will seemed to understand this, but this has flown right over RJ’s head. Will understood the plight of homeless people, but like Electra and Ivy, RJ sees nothing wrong with throwing a homeless person out onto the street, so long as Electra doesn’t have a sad.
Maybe RJ should have a talk with his mother who was a cater waiter before she met his father, and even his grandmother Stephanie (Susan Flannery), who was homeless for a while. At least Brooke and Ridge have proven they are not quite as obtuse and privileged as the younger generation of Forresters.
