Bold and the Beautiful sees Taylor Hayes‘ health has left us on the edge of our seats, but I can’t help but feel skeptical about where this plot is headed. With Thomas Forrester returning home, I worry that he might be dragged into this sketchy situation in a very bad way. Could we be looking at a tragedy where Taylor dies? Or maybe no one dies? Or someone else dies instead? Let’s dive in and explore the possibilities.

Bold and the Beautiful: Taylor Hayes Needs an Expert

On Bold and the Beautiful Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) needs an expert. She confided in Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) about feeling tired and off during her workouts. She revealed that her primary care doctor had diagnosed her with heart failure and given her a grim prognosis. When Li asked if she had seen a cardiologist, Taylor admitted she hadn’t. This raises a red flag. Since when does a general practice doctor deliver a death sentence without referring the patient to a specialist?

Yes, Taylor is a medical doctor herself, but she’s a psychiatrist, not a cardiologist. Li offered to send her some referrals. So, I imagine Taylor’s outlook might improve once she consults with an expert.

Bold and Beautiful: Brad Bell Recycles Old Plot or Character Sacrifice Ahead?

Bold and Beautiful fans consider Brad Bell may recycle an old plot or sacrifice a character ahead. Now that we’re in the midst of this life-or-death storyline, could he be planning something even worse than killing off Taylor? Like sacrificing another character to save her?

Remember when Katie Logan (Heather Tom) needed a heart transplant? Her brother shot himself at the hospital so she could have his heart? I don’t see anyone going to such extremes for Taylor. But could Brad be considering killing off Thomas to give Taylor a chance at life?

Thomas has been off-screen for so long, and fans keep asking about his whereabouts and Matthew Atkinson’s status with the show. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers haven’t given much to go on. Could Brad be tired of those questions and quietly writing Thomas out, as he did with Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) and Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer)? Or maybe Thomas is destined to die, donating his heart to his mother in a tragic twist of fate.

Another possibility is a redo of Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Stephanie Forrester’s (Susan Flannery) emotional death scene. Brooke recently expressed a desire for a genuine friendship with Taylor, echoing the moment when Stephanie, who had always been at odds with Brooke, died in her arms. Many fans are worried that Brad is steering us in that direction, and it’s not a popular idea.

Then there’s the frustrating “Eric is dying” storyline from not too long ago. Suddenly, after surgery by Finn and Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones), Eric was cured – no chemo, no hair loss, just back to martinis and marrying Donna. Could Brad be attempting another fake-out twist with Taylor’s story?
