Fans who are furious over Katie’s romance with Wyatt (Darin Brooks) have begun attacking Heather Tom via Twitter, with some even wishing for her to lose her job! Talk about an inability to separate fact from fiction!
Tom set these fans straight, telling them directly that this is a job, not real life, and that she is a mother with children to support with said job. She tweeted, “I don’t get it-root 4Katie, root 4brill-that’s fine-that soaps-UR meant2do that-but when its abt my job- that’s that’s real life-its just mean.” And mind you, this isn’t the first time that Heather Tom has called out fans on social media, having also done so in a similar situation last fall.

Again, it’s important for fans to be able to separate from an actress playing a character, and the character themselves. All things considered, actress Heather Tom is reported to be a consummate professional and very well-liked on the show ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ as well as in the industry in general. As such, tweeting hateful and personal attacks against her cross the thin line between fan enthusiasm and fanaticism, especially when you consider the crazy things that happen on ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ to begin with.
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ airs on weekdays on CBS.
