The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers tease that a stunning death could hit the CBS soap soon. However, that may be a bad idea. B&B faced major backlash when they killed off Aly (Ashlyn Pearce). Many viewers were upset that the fan favorite died for a brief plot point.
There’s no word yet on who the next potential character to bite the dust will be, but The Bold and the Beautiful still has a chance to fix the Aly mess. The other daytime dramas have been willing to dive deep into soapy territory lately. Returns from the dead have happened frequently over the past few years.
Perhaps it’s time for B&B to do that type of shocker. It would please fans and provide an intriguing storyline. Let’s think about how Aly’s possible return could play out. To do that, we have to consider the events that led to her death.
Aly was battling severe mental health issues before her fateful fight with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). When they fought by the side of the road, Steffy whacked Aly with a tire iron in self-defense. Aly fell, hit her head on a rock and was killed instantly – or was she?
What if some incompetent paramedic goofed? After Steffy went home, someone could’ve discovered that Aly was miraculously still breathing. Thorne (Winsor Harmon) could’ve been contacted and quietly whisked Aly away to get treatment.
Thorne might’ve faked his shock and grief to protect his daughter. The funeral could’ve been a misguided cover-up. Aly could’ve been sent to the best psychiatric facility that money could buy. The Bold and the Beautiful could simply say that Aly has been receiving therapy at some fancy place in Europe.
If B&B brought Aly back, we would get the initial shocker of Steffy encountering her. Steffy would obviously believe she’d seen a ghost! Then, Aly could explain the real story. She could apologize for what happened and indicate that she’s much better now. The show could ditch the crazy side of Aly and make her a normal character.
Of course, Steffy and the rest of the family would have mixed feelings. They would be thrilled to know that Aly is OK, but they would also be furious over the deception. Thorne would get an earful, too. That would definitely be another fun beat for The Bold and the Beautiful to play.
Steffy would be angry that she had to suffer with so much guilt. As CEO, she might turn Aly away from Forrester Creations. What would Aly do then? She always wanted to do her own shoe line. Why not take it over to Spectra Fashions and seek her second chance over there?
Aly would make amends with all the Forresters eventually, but we could get some soapy fun in the meantime. Would you like to see Aly return from the dead?
