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!

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?

Published

We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!

B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.

On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.

At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.

When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.

So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.

What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond

Published

When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.

Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.

As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION

Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it.  I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”

Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl  I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”

BROTHER TO BROTHER

Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”

In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”

All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?

So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside

Published

By

The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!

After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.

So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF

The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.

Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA

Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP

Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.

So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
