THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Luna’s Devious Plan to Get Will Between the Sheets Comes to Fruition

By Michael Fairman

The Bold and the Beautiful certainly has a penchant for masquerade party mask mix-ups, getting their characters inebriated or wasted enough to be taken advantage of, or what could only be deemed as masterminding a rape.

Look no further than at the 2010 masquerade party, when Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) had sex with her daughter, Hope’s (played by Kim Matula) then boyfriend Oliver Jones (Zack Conroy), when during a party they went out to the terrace to ravish each other, only Brooke thought it was Ridge (then Ross Moss) behind the mask, and Oliver thought it was Hope behind Brooke’a mask.

Further evidence was Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) “magic mint” storyline in early 2024 when we thought she was a good girl and she got wasted during a party and went into Zende’s (Delon de Metz) guest house to sleep it off. Zende found her in his bed, and proceeded to have sex with her when she thought he was R.J. (Joshua Hoffman), her then boyfriend. ONLY, we found out much later in the fall of 2024 that she actually entrapped Zende, because she had the hots for him and knew what she was doing all along!

NOW, we come to this Thursday’s, August 21 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, where after Luna disguises herself as an Il Giardino employee who is helping the bartender, she pours Will (Crew Morrow) vodka sodas made with 180-proof liquor so he gets super-wasted to set him up to basically rape him. This occurs at a rave promotion party that Will and his promotions partner are having at the restaurant; complete with masquerade masks for those who want to wear one.

Electra (Laneya Grace), who is enjoying her night with Will, and wearing a mask, sees that he is too drunk to be with for the night, so Deacon (Sean Kanan) helps by taking him to a spare room upstairs at the restaurant. Electra calls it a night with him, so he can sleep it off. She goes home to the Forresters and relives hetsays to Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) she is looking forward to being with Will, but not like he was tonight.

Later, now donning the same mask Electra left behind at the party, Luna comes into the darkened spare room (the lights are off) where Will is in bed. He looks at her and thinks it’s Electra because of the mask. Luna moves towards Will and begins to help him undress and is all over him, until finally they appear to be in the the throes of sex. At that point, Luna takes off the mask to enjoy herself while poor Will is duped and completely taken advantage of. Meanwhile, Will gets a text from Electra that she is looking forward to seeing him tomorrow night, which he never sees, thanks to Luna.

Viewers backlash was swift after the episode aired, when some fans took to X and shared their reactions to the scene including: “Do better #BoldandBeautiful I don’t wanna keep seeing drunk or drugged out young folks getting sexually assaulted!” and another “It’s 2025, and Bold & the Beautiful is still mishandling rape storylines. On top of that, multiple characters have been completely sacrificed to prop up Luna. Bill’s character has been wrecked. Li is being torn apart. Any progress Sheila made? Gone.”

So, what did you think of how Luna trapped Will? Do you think she is now going to be pregnant? Are you frustrated by B&B’s history of seemingly mistaken identities when being under the influence or their use of masquerade masks? Comment below.

This story is twisted! It is time to put Luna to rest. The women has committed many crimes and now she has added rape. Is this what Brad Bell calls entertainment. The character cannot be redeemed!

Agreed. And the repetition of these tired plot lines with different faces is only a sign the series is creatively bankrupt.

Li and Sheila should also answer for this. Granddaughter or not, the girl is crazy! If Grace Buckingham is going to be punished, then so should Luna and her accomplices.

Disgusting and good luck with calling it rape I did watch the episode he was all over her like a cheap suit. Brad you just destroyed another character but that’s fine with me he can’t act either

So wrong. What are the writers thinking?

Disgusting storyline – all of it! And she will probably end up pregnant with Bill Spencer’s grand baby. All of it is gross. I feel bad for Crew Morrow. He deserves a shot of developing the character of Will Spencer, the same way his dad, Joshua Morrow, has succeeded with Nick Newman on YandR. Luna needs to go away, for good!

The Luna plotline is ludicrous but the plot line of a man being raped or assaulted sexually is something that daytime hasn’t really explored

GH – Michael Corinthos circa 2011

I started watching this show out of boredom and have stuck around to see how one or two issues get resolved. Lunatic Luna is NOT one of them. I can’t stand another minute. A double murderer getting released from prison into house arrest was bad enough. Then all of the charges against her being dropped was ridiculous. Still, this is make believe. Now, they are into the absurd. That lunatic survives being shot point blank and now she’s running around raping a drunk man. This is the last straw. I’d hope drunk guy who wake up, realize that was not his girl friend and beat the life out of his attacker. No such luck. This show has seen the last of me.

Grace buckham was convicted Luna and Li should do some time

Here’s good way to end the character of Luna once and for all! Let her fall
into a bear’s cage, just like her grandmother. But, instead of losing a toe, he devours her! Cruel maybe, but a fitting ending to a vicious character. In true Luna fashion, she would probably try to fight the bear!

General Hospital

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

Published

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.

EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCES

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.
