The Bold and the Beautiful is bracing for a storm as Dylan Sydney Bulock’s unraveling mental state threatens to ignite chaos across Los Angeles. Following the fatal accident involving Luna Nozzawa (Lisa Yamada), the young woman is on the edge of a full psychological collapse—one that could put Electra Forrester (Lenia Grace) and Will Spencer (Krummer) directly in harm’s way. Dylan has absorbed a staggering amount of emotional trauma, far more than anyone her age should bear. Learning that seemingly cheerful “Miss Sunshine” was actually Luna—volatile, manipulative, and deadly—shattered Dylan’s sense of reality. Luna’s torment reached a terrifying peak when she tied Dylan up and left her gagged inside the beach house, a memory that continues to scar her deeply.

Now, with Luna gone, Dylan’s fragile world is collapsing again. In the November 25th episode, she confided in Electra that she was the driver who struck Luna the night she escaped prison. The authorities are calling it an accident, and Dylan insists she never meant to hurt anyone. Still, her demeanor suggests there may be far more bubbling beneath the surface. Some fans speculate that the hit-and-run might not be as innocent as she claims—did Dylan recognize Luna in the road and seize the chance for revenge? Or was she genuinely blindsided when Luna darted into her path? Whatever the truth, the guilt is eating Dylan alive.

Electra was the first person Dylan ran to, a choice that raises eyebrows. Electra tries to comfort her, but that kindness might backfire. If Dylan’s stability continues to erode, her fixation could shift dangerously toward either Electra or Will, twisting friendship into something far darker. With her mental state deteriorating and her need for emotional anchors intensifying, Dylan could become an unpredictable new threat in their orbit. For now, she appears remorseful—yet her behavior suggests instability that could explode at any moment.

As fans reassess who Dylan even is, many were stunned to realize she had previously appeared on the show as Hayes’ quirky art teacher. Sydney Bulock, who portrays Dylan, has been acting since childhood, appearing in shows like Stranger Things, Trust in Love, Goosebumps, and more. But B&B marks her breakout role, especially now that the storyline places her front and center. Spoilers indicate that Dylan will remain heavily featured in the upcoming arcs surrounding Luna’s death. Next week, she continues apologizing to Luna’s grieving family—yet her breakdown may have only just begun.

Meanwhile, drama is brewing beyond Dylan’s storyline. Tensions at Forrester Creations hit dangerous levels as Eric Forrester (John McCook) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) clash once again over the company’s direction. Ridge’s controlling tendencies mirror his past emotional blunders—particularly with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). Ridge shattered Taylor’s heart not long ago, agreeing to marriage only to pull away and drift back into Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) orbit. This repeating cycle is why Eric fears Ridge may be pushing him toward retirement not out of love, but out of habit.

Elsewhere, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) senses opportunity. With Katie Logan (Heather Tom) upset about being excluded from PR decisions at Forrester, Bill urges her—and Will—to abandon FC and join Spencer Publications. Katie is tempted, but her sisters won’t be happy if she jumps sides. And Will overhearing Bill’s pitch adds yet another emotional complication.

Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) also faces a destabilizing future. With Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) redirecting his energy toward Daphne Rose (Lenia Grace), Hope’s fashion line may soon lose its strongest ally. Though her wedding to Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is fast approaching, her career could be headed for a sudden collapse without Carter’s backing.

Adding more danger to the canvas, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) becomes a new wildcard after learning Dylan killed her granddaughter Luna. Even if it was purely accidental, Sheila is not known for rational thinking in moments of grief. With her marriage to Deacon wobbling and Taylor creeping emotionally closer to him, Sheila may lash out—possibly at Dylan, possibly at Taylor, or possibly at anyone she blames for Luna’s death.

And in a chilling twist, Sheila’s attention appears to be drifting back toward Finn and little Hayes. With Luna gone, old obsessions may resurface. Steffy’s confidence that their family is “safer than ever” could be a fatal mistake.
