Aly, another great psycho

I agree. I loved Aly. I have no idea what was going through Brad Bell’s feeble brain when he decided to kill her off though. It made zero sense killing off a legacy character like her (legacy character because she was the daughter of an original B&B character Thorne, and another character who joined the show 2 years in, Darla).

It would have been MUCH MUCH better if Aly was sent to a psych hospital because of her craziness. Because Thorne is a character that ultimately returns to the show every now and then, and it would have been great had he returned, and brought a recovered Aly with him, only to have her once again spiral once she’s out. But like every other character opportunity on the show, Brad ruined it.

In my opinion she was sacrificed at the altar of Goddess Steffy, just like Thorne has always been sacrificed for Ridge. After Hope (KM) left BB needed another heroine and Steffy was the only option. But it was hard to look at her as a heroine after all her antics to try and break up Lope. So he had to make Steffy into a victim somehow to drum up sympathy for her and turn her into a tragic heroine, and Ivy became the villain of that story. And poor Aly became the sacrificial lamb.
