B&B: Caroline is Dead

"The Bold and the Beautiful" decided to kill off Caroline (Linsey Godfrey), while she lived in NYC though in the real world Linsey is on "Days of Our Lives". Below are my thoughts.

Caroline was announced to be dead the week before, but the service was held off screen between March 18 and March 19th's episodes. What we know so far is the following: Caroline and Thomas were co-parenting Douglas, but not a couple. They realized they were better as friends, and were no longer together. Caroline's mothers weren't seen as they went back to NYC, and Caroline passed due to a blood clot. The Spencers were together with Katie, while the Forresters were with Thomas and Douglas. They all interacted after the memorial. Ridge was allowed to remember that he and Caroline were involved.

While I understand why B&B killed off Caroline, to give a clean slate to Thomas and Douglas, I wish they had not done so as yet again we have a dead female character from a core family, who has no siblings. They did this with Thorne, as his daughter Aly was killed, and Ridge and Taylor lost Phoebe (though she at least has siblings), but it surprises me that B&B makes the decision to end the lives of these young characters who could have years of story some time in the future.
