Darla Forrester, an important part of both the Forrester and Spectra families of The Bold and the Beautiful, was tragically killed in an accident, witnessed by her daughter, Alexandria, leaving her traumatized. Similarly, Storm Logan’s death was a heartbreaking act of selflessness, as he sacrificed himself to save his sister, by giving her his heart.

Caroline Spencer died due to leukemia, and it was yet another emotional storyline. It was good that she was near her loved ones’ who supported her through the journey but witnessing a beloved character die is something a The Bold and the Beautiful enthusiast wouldn't wish for.
