Bold and the Beautiful spoilers began a romance with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Katie Logan (Heather Tom) but then dropped it like several other plots this year. Take a look at five big storylines abandoned by the CBS soap in 2021.

#1 Carter Walton’s Blossoming Crush on Katie Logan

This year on Bold and the Beautiful, we saw Carter Walton done dirty by Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes). Then, she left town and Carter was crushed. Five minutes later, Carter was smitten by Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer). That also fell apart disastrously, hurting Carter’s heart again.

Soon, B&B put Katie Logan in his path. And Katie was considering Bill Spencer’s (Don Diamont) efforts to reunite. In the end, Katie put on her big girl panties and told him she wouldn’t be second fiddle to his passion for her big sister.

So, lonely Carter and Katie started a friendship seemingly destined for more on Bold and the Beautiful. Since then, we’ve seen naught of Carter Walton with Katie Logan. A spoilers photo puts Carter at the Forresters for Christmas. Maybe he’s Katie’s plus one. If not, the plot is DOA.

#2 Eric Forrester’s Broken Manhood on Bold and the Beautiful

Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) bedroom issues were a retcon. It’s when a soap changes history to justify a change in the present. Eric’s erectile problem “popped up” out of nowhere to say why he wouldn’t take Quinn back into his bed.

All that set up the cringeworthy story of his ED. From Eric pushing Quinn into Carter Walton’s bed, it got ickier by the day. Then Bold and the Beautiful fans watched in horror as every single character began discussing how to free willy.

Everyone wanted it to end and then suddenly, it did. Quinn moved home. The lurkers backed off and we’re not getting daily updates on whether” little Eric” is back in business. This is one abandoned plotline no one wants to see rear its head again…

#3 Paris Buckingham & Thomas Forrester’s B&B Flirtation

Another guy with a bizarre 2021 is Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). His unrequited crush on Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) was bad enough. It even got him pushed off a cliff at one point on Bold and the Beautiful.

And then the fixation turned into a mental meltdown. Annika did double duty as her doppelganger doll as Thomas went off the deep end. A little brain surgery fixed his crazy. But then he was back to being creepy far too soon on Bold and the Beautiful.

He started crushing on Paris Buckingham (Diamond White). Even though she’s with his cousin, Thomas creeped on her. Blessedly, he’s dropped that nonsense like other storylines the CBS soap opera ditched this year.

#4 Everything with Shauna Fulton on Bold and the Beautiful

Speaking of forgotten plots – – where is Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards)? The soap brought her on but seems to have no idea how to use her. Her sizzle with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) was left to fizzle. And “Bridge” survived again.

Then, Bold and the Beautiful moved Shauna in with Eric when he was split from his wife. That had huge dramatic potential. But the writers dropped that ball. The closest thing Shauna’s had to romance was her five-minute fauxmance with Carter.

So, pretty much any plotline with Shauna’s been abandoned this year. And that also goes for her baby-snatching daughter Felony Flo Fulton (Katrina Bowden) and her also-missing fiancé Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks). All. Are. Forgotten.

#5 Justin Barber’s Promised Dirt on Dollar Bill

Bold and the Beautiful has other missing characters and sidelined stories beyond there. There’s Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) who promised Ridge some juicy dirt on Dollar Bill. We never heard it. And Justin had two sneaky errands and then nothing.

Plus, Bill never came for payback against his ex-bestie. And the publishing magnate also gave up easily on his quest to get back with Katie. For a guy who attempted murder to be with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), he did little to fight for Katie.

Now, on Bold and the Beautiful, Bill pops up here and there for a scene, but otherwise, he’s as abandoned as his storyline. We do expect to see Katie Logan at the big holiday dinner. And Carter Walton’s there too. Perhaps B&B will revive that romance.

Otherwise, it’ll be 2022 before we see fresh plots. But will these also wind up lost along the way? Which plots did you wish had some follow through? And which are you glad to see Bold and the Beautiful forget about? Look to Soap Dirt for more B&B spoilers daily.
