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

Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

Josh and Kristen

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.

The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.

Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?

Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.

So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?

Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.

Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

Published

Billy, Sally and Adam

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.

The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.

In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY

Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.

Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.

Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT

Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.

As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!

Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

Steffy and Finn

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.

But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”

Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”

Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.

Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!

“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.

You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.

Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
