5 ways The Bold and the Beautiful’s Dylan is the victim (and 5 signs she’s the mastermind no one sees coming)

The Bold and the Beautiful first introduced Miss Dylan to fans as part of the Luna revenge storyline. However, after causing Luna’s accidental death, Dylan became a central character in the soap by the end of 2025. Soon, she got deeply entangled in Will and Electra’s lives. Accused of causing a rift in Will and Electra’s romance, Dylan found a big break when Steffy offered her a well-paying job at Forrester Creations.

While fans know that Ivy orchestrated the breakup, Dylan has so far remained quiet about the fact. As such, the soap’s fans speculate whether Dylan is the good girl or a hidden manipulator.

5 hints showing Dylan as a sufferer on The Bold and the Beautiful

1) Luna’s collateral victim

In the summer of 2025, Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock), introduced as Hayes’s preschool teacher, got caught in Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) dangerous ploy to target Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). While Steffy survived the event, Luna was injured alongside her grandmother Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton).

Although Dylan was not hurt in the event, she faced trauma from being tied up and threatened by Luna. Moreover, Luna used her to lure Steffy to the location, which put Dylan in a precarious situation.

2) Trauma around Luna’s accident

After an evil run within town, November 2025 saw Luna hit by a speeding car when she was on the run from prison, which killed the villain on the spot. It was later revealed that Miss Dylan was driving the car. Moreover, she was presumably unknowing about the identity of the victim until very late.

However, she met Electra, and later, Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Steffy, to ask for their forgiveness. She specifically apologized to Finn for being the cause of the loss of his daughter. Moreover, she admitted to Electra about facing continued trauma from the incident.

3) Homeless and broke

As viewers of The Bold and the Beautiful know, Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) discovered that Miss Dylan was sleeping in her car. When confronted, she admitted to being homeless after losing her job. She also confirmed that she was broke and needed employment to sustain herself.

Her pathetic situation melted Will and Electra’s hearts, and they offered the guest room at Will’s beach house for her to stay temporarily. They also tried to convince Steffy to employ Dylan at Forrester Creations.

4) Misunderstood by Electra

Early on in their friendship, Electra warned Dylan to stay away from the main area of the beach house. She also insisted that Dylan respect Will and Electra’s relationship. Moreover, she believed Ivy’s claims about Dylan trying to seduce Will. She refused to accept the truth that Will had called Dylan inside the house to babysit Hayes.

The recent Will-Electra breakup saw Electra pitting Dylan as an adversary, asking Will to choose between the two women. Also, Electra tried to force Dylan to give up her job at Forrester Creations and leave the FC office.

5) Targeted by Ivy

As fans have seen, Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) arranged the breakup between Will and Electra to help her niece hook up with the Forrester scion, RJ (Brayan Nicoletti). As such, she put all the blame on Dylan to rile up Electra. She blackmailed Dylan into leaving the beach house on the pretext of getting a job out of town.

This left Dylan in a dire condition where she had to scour leftovers to fill her stomach. Eventually, Deke helped her with a job and got Will into the loop. Currently, Ivy is threatening to get Dylan thrown out of FC.

The Bold and the Beautiful: 5 cues that show Dylan may be a schemer

1) Luna’s convenient hit-and-run death

As mentioned before, Luna escaped prison to wreak havoc in the Spencer and Forrester families. Just when search parties were looking for the escaped criminal, Dylan’s car hit Luna, and the criminal died on the spot. Many The Bold and the Beautiful fans wondered whether Dylan may have planned this event.

They thought it was too much of a coincidence that Luna conveniently died just when she was at the peak of her wickedness. Moreover, Dylan’s role in eliminating the villain earned her a position in the good graces of both the powerful families.

2) Seeking forgiveness from Finn and Steffy

After killing Luna by accident, Dylan chose to confess in front of Electra before requesting her to arrange a meeting with Finn. Dylan chose to visit Finn and Steffy to ask for their forgiveness for Luna’s death.

The Bold and the Beautiful fans believe that Dylan made a strategic move by apologizing to Finn. Besides forgiveness, she secured the goodwill of one of the most powerful families in town. While Dylan cleared her conscience, she also secured a job, thanks to Steffy.

3) Weaponizing homelessness

As mentioned before, Will and Electra discovered that Dylan was living out of her car, prompting them to offer her a place to crash in Will’s guestroom. The couple discovered that she was broke and homeless. They felt sorry for her and wanted to show their support.

However, fans feel that Dylan possibly played up her situation to gain sympathy and trust. She took advantage of these compassions and used them to position herself better. Moreover, her move placed her directly at the center of many lives, including Electra, Will, Deke, RJ, and Ivy.

4) Pretending friendship while eyeing Will

Since her return to The Bold and the Beautiful storyline in late 2025, Miss Dylan has been proclaiming herself as a good friend of Electra. However, while maintaining a close friendship with the Forrester jewelry designer, Dylan developed a crush on Will Spencer.

While she played innocent and compliant about any insecurities and instructions from Electra, Dylan nonetheless exploited the situation to her advantage. Fans saw her staring at Will at inopportune moments. She let Will feel that she was a good friend while expressing her love for him without being pushy. This strategy, coupled with Electra and Ivy’s stances, may land Will on Dylan’s lap.

5) Maintaining silence over truth

Recently, fans witnessed Dylan overhearing Daphne’s (Murielle Hilaire) accusations and questioning Ivy herself. On Dylan’s insistence, Ivy admitted to having created the rift between the lovebirds. Moreover, Ivy justified her actions and threatened to destroy Dylan if she spoke up.

While looking scandalized by Ivy’s admission, Dylan chose to remain quiet about Ivy’s tricks to cause Will’s heartbreak. Instead, Dylan decided to go ahead with admitting her love for Will as the broken lover kissed her. Offering her shoulder to lean on and sliding into the void in Will’s life left by Electra would be smart moves to grab the billionaire Spencer’s son.
