Electra Forrester's storylines on The Bold and the Beautiful

Electra Forrester, portrayed by Laneya Grace, quickly found herself at the center of some of the show’s juicy storylines. She was stalked by Remy Pryce (Christian Weissman), who created explicit deepfake images of her. The altered photos were the very reason why she fled her hometown and moved to Los Angeles.

Remy's obsession with Electra took a dark turn when he followed her to L.A. He was extremely jealous of Will Spencer (Crew Morrow), who started a relationship with Electra on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Remy's jealousy prompted him to generate new fake images and send them to Katie Logan (Heather Tom) just in time for Electra and Ivy's new jewelry line. Electra was fired because of this.

Later, she confronted Remy at his apartment, a move that quickly turned dangerous. Fortunately, Will arrived just in time and saved Electra. Remy was taken into custody, but he was seen out and about again. This time, he had an encounter with Luna Nozawa when he came to Bill Spencer's (Don Diamont) house to fix the air conditioner.

The encounter with Remy brought Electra and Will even closer. The two fell in love with each other, giving The Bold and the Beautiful fans a new love story to look forward to.

But their relationship is about to face serious challenges as Luna's feelings for Will intensify. The pardoned murderer will stop at nothing to get Bill's son, even if it means seducing her way to his heart.
