This week's "The Bold and the Beautiful" spoilers reveal that the coming episodes may highlight Bill's (Don Diamont) bullying. Or at least, it may mark the end of his overpowering influence over Sally's (Courtney Hope) life. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and her father, meanwhile, are facing their own problems. Steffy's dad was shocked to find out that his daughter slept with the man he most hates in the world.
Bill has always been dismissive and at the same time assertive when dealing with others, and many other characters already met a fair share of his bullying. However, Sally has decided that this behavior should already stop. The next time Dollar Bill becomes dismissive of the bargain he made, Sally will step up and tell it to him straight: he has to keep his part of the deal. It is nice to see that Sally is fighting back; her future depends on the promises of this deal, after all.
It was an important character development arc for Sally. If she was given the same exact situation some weeks ago, she would not have been able to fight back like this. However, she must have realized that while Bill has all the rights to destroy his own life, he has absolutely no right to drag other people into his self-destruction.
Meanwhile, Steffy's dad Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) is twisting and turning his mind, trying to find reasons why her Steffy would sleep with Bill. He thinks that probably Steffy was forced, or that she was drugged and Bill took advantage of her. However, the truth is that Steffy herself willingly slept with Bill. Granted, she thought her husband was dead, but that does not change the fact that she willingly did it.
But Ridge will never in a million years accept this as fact. He cannot believe that Steffy was a willing party in that relationship. In any case, he takes Bill and Steffy's relationship as a personal attack on him.
Would Bill rise above his own failings? Catch these scenes as "The Bold and the Beautiful" airs weekdays on CBS.
