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.

Steffy and Carter

After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”

As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?

On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN

Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.

Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.

However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.

B&B SPOILERS

In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.

Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.

Monday, September 14, Steffy’s news complicates things even more with Carter, while on Tuesday, September 15, 2026  Daphne is hopeful she and Carter will be able to find a surrogate and Carter rushes to stop Steffy. On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.

So, what do you think how it look to be Carter who originated plan to keep the truth from ever coming out, that he and Steffy had sex, and the best way to do this is for Steffy to be the surrogate for Carter and Daphne’s child? How complicated will the cover-up eventually get? Will Steffy fall in love with the baby making this whole thing untenable for her?

Jason and Britt

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.

Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.

However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON

Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.

He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.

Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”

General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”

So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

Steffy

On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.

The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.

Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.

It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.

At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.

So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with? Share your thoughts and theories for this major story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, via the comment section.
