The Bold and the Beautiful Fans Outraged Over Luna’s ‘Magic Mint’ Plot Twist Landing Her in Zende’s Bed

Friday’s cliffhanger of The Bold and the Beautiful, found the CBS soap opera trending on X.  That’s because many viewers became riled up when in-story, the show concocted a way to get Luna (Lisa Yamada) into Zende’s (Delon de Metz) bed, as Zende had become R.J.’s (Joshua Hoffman) arch rival and he would like nothing better than to have Luna for his own (or so it appears).

How did Luna get into Zende’s bed? Well, apparently she had her mother’s mints in her purse, or the ‘magic mints’ as Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) referred to them. Luna popped a few in her mouth before she kissed R.J. at the wedding reception for Donna (Jennifer Gareis) and Eric (John McCook).

As the reception progressed, Luna became more giddy, and out of it. Zende made a few passes at her letting her know he lives in the guest house so if she ever wants to come by, that is where he is.

Later, Luna becomes more disoriented and tells R.J. she is going to go home and call an Uber. However, when she leaves, she can barely stand up and lands at Zende’s guest house, where she somehow opens the door, grabs some water, and sits on the bed.

As the evening winds down, Zende comes to his place, strips off his shirt, sits on the bed and sees Luna in it! She looks at him and is so out of it, she thinks she is seeing R.J. not Zende.

All of this leading several fans to speak out about something they don’t want to see. Will Zende take advantage of Luna? Will B&B play it off as Zende had no idea Luna was drugged and he thought she wanted him? Will they have sex, and afterward, Zende realizes (when she utters “R.J’s” name) that is who she thought he was when they were together?

There is also the fear that Luna will become pregnant with Zende’s baby (remember Drucilla and the cough syrup on Y&R?). Many fans also voiced concern that the show could make a Black character look like a predator. We will have to see how it all pays out on Monday’s February 12th episode.

So, how did you feel about the cliffhanger ending of B&B and where the show is heading for Zende, Luna and R.J.? Comment below.

What’s outrageous is how Bradley Bell ruined the show his parents created with repetitive storylines between Steffy, Liam & Hope for years. The last few years have been disastrous. Eric almost died and remarried without any of his children by his side. Felicia, Kristen and Rick take a trip to the moon?
Sheila & Deacon have no chemistry. Bell should have brought Little D back…
Half the cast is uninteresting, Carter & Katie in the lead.
The new characters are uninteresting. They fired Taylor to join Luna & Popie…
Liam is a slap-head.
Everyone forgot that Hope & Thomas were raised as siblings during Taylor’s so-called death.
It’s the end of soaps in general! The Young and the Restless follows the same path with Audra, Tucker, Jack, Diane, Kyle, Devon… Too bad!

Women if you want respect stand up demand it walk off the set anything don’t argue to us about it 25 years later stand up now

Exactly I was enjoying Sinn.and Lope Ivy still would of been Thomas wife. Now its Finn hate Steffy wanna shake sheets with ugly spirited Hope.

Reminds me of the berries Brooke ate when she was stranded on a desert island with Thomas some years ago. That was dumb too. But the other gripe I have? If these mints are a type of drug, what the hell is Poppy doing running around with them? This part of the story is flawed on a few counts.

Yes, what are the magic mints.??

this is just very bad writing, makes some of the DOL plots look sane,and at least at DOL the weird plotting can be fun

Lauralee bell could write better stories ..I miss the old stories where they used to draw u in so much that I couldn’t wait till the next episode but no I record them and fast forward to the boaring stuff..I wish passions hadn’t left the shows for passions was a good soap popper to watch

This is so Drucilla and Malcolm on Y&R. I didn’t like the story then and I don’t like it now. If Zende goes through with this and she utters RJ’s name, they could call it rape. What is Brad Bell thinking?

It’s unfortunate B&B just copy and pastes stories. No creativity. They should be running with Thope! They should have kept Jack and Taylor on screen and matched them up. They are circling back down to Sheila who is living this wonderful life with Deacon when she shot her son and wife. Ridiculous!! A wedding with Deric without the whole family is a disgrace! No prenup. No actual legality without the paperwork. Stop jamming Luna/rj down our throats. We don’t care about them. Lastly, this whole date drug rape is disgusting! I mean Luna doesn’t know what her mints look like and taste like? She doesn’t know what her mom’s case and pills look like. Another week of NOT watching.

I can’t stand the man the best thing that happened to KA was walking away and all of the cast disgust me BB must be on something this is rape pure and simple

I just realized will they say Zende has been flirting aggressively at Luna and gave her a date rape drug? And Poppy will keep quiet because her “mints” are illegal substances?!!

Can’t wait until they are canceled and we are working on it hard and heavy

I don’t like Zende. He’s a jealous punk , can’t stand the idea that his granddad picked R,J to help him with his designs. He also knows he isn’t Forrester blood and it really bugs him. I don’t think he’s as interested in Luna as he is just getting something that R.J has.Jealousy is a very strong motive for a lot of things.

Nooooooooooo. Not Luna. She loves RJ and Zende Should respect that. He should know something is wrong and not just think about himself and his privilege!!! And his revenge on RJ.

This is ridiclius!!! This is exactly like Dru and “the cough syrup” conceived Lily with Malcum!!!The cough syrup made her woozy-she thought Neil was in bed with her instead of Malcum!!!!

This is so over the top. I saw it coming a hundred miles away. You have everyone sleep with everyone. And now Zende is the bad boy and poor RJ. Can you guys stop creating extra drama. Also with one of the few black characters on the show. I am disappointment and truly don’t want to watch what happens. I am sure the writes can come up with other things to make us stay interested.

I use to respect you as a writer Brad Bell now all bold and beautiful want is the zende right show, Hinn seriously Hope has become ugly not Annika Noelle just her characterHope slitting disgrace, it obvious you love adultery you these Hinn fans adultress people. If Bold and Beautiful didn’t support adultery you wouldn’t write about it constantly. No fans wanna support adultery or Steffy loosing it all for old , whack, want dead molasses bread , moldy butt Shelia goody toes. Last episodes are mess I want support this garbage , I don’t care what writer feelings is hurt, what about loyal Sinn fans naw just this Hinn garbage you make me sick, come up with better material or loose real bold and beautiful fans not ones who jump to everything on the show.

General Hospital

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.

The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.

When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.

Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.

When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.

The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.

In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.

Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.

Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.

Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Confronts Ava for Sabotaging Her Relationship With Sonny and Signs the Divorce Papers

Looks like Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) are back to be each other’s sworn enemy number one. By the end of the Monday, April 22nd episode of General Hospital, the women know where they stand with each other after Nina goes in on Ava accusing her of wanting Sonny (Maurice Benard) all to herself, while her marriage has been on the rocks.

In story, at Nina’s office, Ava shows up to see Nina and says she is sorry about what happened with Sonny and that he reacted the way he did, acknowledging that is was over the top, even for Sonny. Ava says she’ll smooth things over, but Nina says she now understands how manipulative and transparent Ava really is.

Given their horrible history, Nina goes in on Ava and how she should never have trusted her. Nina wants to know how long has Ava had this agenda dating all the way back to telling Nina to turn Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. Ava says she never told her do to that, but Nina wants to know how long Ava has been playing her for a fool.

Ava says she moved in with Sonny to keep Avery safe and she wants to be on good terms with Avery’s father, Sonny. Nina thinks she likes being in Sonny’s inner circle. Ava tells Nina if she goes to him about her advising Nina to call the SEC on Carly and Drew, it won’t work.  Sonny still considers Nina a traitor and he will think she’s lying because she’s so desperate to win him back. Ava says if Nina would stop blaming everyone else that maybe Sonny would respect her.  Nina says “like he does you?” Ava says Sonny not only respects her, but he also counts on her.

From there, Ava launches into why she and Sonny understand each other, after all, Sonny is a powerful, turbulent, and sometimes violent man. She goes so far to say if Nina wanted someone to just sit by the fire with and play with their grandchildren, she’s got the wrong guy.  Ava then talks about Mike from Nixon Falls (Sonny with amnesia) and how Sonny hid the darkest parts of himself from Nina back then, whereas with Ava they are the same similar creatures, so he doesn’t have to hide anything.

Nina wants to know just what Ava wants with Sonny? What is her end game? Ava responds that they understand each other, in ways she can’t with Sonny. Nina tells Ava she can go ahead and have it all and signs Sonny’s divorce papers. Ava walks out with the documents, while Nina in tears at her desk, takes off her wedding rings and has her assistant come in so she can messenger the rings back to Sonny’s address.

The episode and these scenes featured great performances by Cynthia Watros and Maura West. You can check some of the scenes below.

Now, let us know, what is Ava’s next move? Is she going to become Mrs. Sonny Corinthos? Do you like Ava and Nina as enemies? Comment below.
