‘The Bold and the Beautiful’s’ Heather Tom Reveals the Real Reason Katie’s Not Team Dylan
‘Bold and Beautiful’s’ Katie Logan opposes Will and Dylan due to Dylan reminding her of her sister Brooke, says actress Heather Tom in a new interview.
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Katie has made her feelings clear about her son’s love life. She wants Will (Crew Morrow) to reunite with his ex-girlfriend, Electra (Laneya Grace), and leave Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) in the dust. She may seem like a meddling mom (which is nothing new for soaps), but actress Heather Tom knows what’s motivating Katie to come down so hard on someone who appears so sweet.
Although Bill (Don Diamont) has reminded Katie of how much heartache Electra has caused Will by constantly dumping him for inane reasons, Katie still thinks Electra is the girl for Will and wants Dylan out of his life.
Katie might not realize that Electra was never a very good friend to Dylan, someone she had only known for a short time. That’s why Tom thinks Katie’s history with her sister, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), is driving this. Brooke, as longtime fans know, believes nothing should ever stand in the way of love and destiny, which is what Katie thinks she is seeing from Dylan.
“This girl pushes Katie’s buttons,” Tom told Michael Fairman TV in an interview. “She reminds her of her sister, Brooke and what Katie’s going through with her sister right now is very unpleasant.”
Earlier this summer, Katie’s two sisters accused her of being a traitor to the Forresters for opening a fashion house under her own last name and hiring neglected Forrester talent. Katie and Brooke remain on the outs, so she doesn’t have a very good opinion of her older sister at the moment.
“I think she looks at this girl and says, ‘This girl is going to crawl over anyone to get what she wants. And right now, she wants my son, and she’s willing to throw her best friend under the bus,'” Tom explained further, adding that women should live by the girlfriend code, meaning do not pursue your friend’s ex.
“So to Katie, it’s like Dylan broke that code,” Tom said. “She is someone who follows her heart just like Brooke and leaves carnage in her wake.”
Is Dylan like Brooke, or is she more like younger characters Hope and Steffy? Fans have been debating that as this story plays out.
