By Michael Fairman

On the Friday, September 6th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Poppy (Romy Park) learned directly from Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) mouth, that her own daughter set her up to take the rap for a double murder, faked a paternity test result, and kidnapped Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), all for years of feeling neglected, and less than, or so the story goes on the CBS daytime drama series.

Poppy was even more stunned (and it was the final nail in the coffin in her relationship with Luna), when she learned that Luna kissed her boyfriend, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), on the lips twice!

In story, when Poppy learns she is going to be set free and that the real murderer has been caught, Luna is there in the prison visitors room as well, but in handcuffs. Eventually, Poppy figures out her daughter is under arrest for the crimes. At first, Poppy thinks there must be some mistake. She even cries to Lt. Baker that Luna is a “good girl.” Baker levels the charges against Luna. Bill breaks the news to Poppy that Luna set her up.

Poppy cries, “Is that true, Luna? Did you do all the things that they’re saying you did?” Luna cries, and confesses to all, beginning with, “Yeah, mom. Yeah, I did it. I’m guilty.”

Next, Luna has an emotional meltdown of how she was tired of always struggling and feeling abandoned while her own mother was too busy chasing her own dreams. All Luna wanted was to be a happy family with Bill, but then Tom showed up and was going to ruin everything. She had never planned for everything that happened next.

Luna had known that Tom was her real father, because she had the letters of correspondence between Poppy and Tom. She wasn’t going to let Tom destroy everything she worked so hard to create. So, she killed him and then Hollis got access to the letters, so he had to be dealt with too! Luna explained that she craved normalcy so she came to Los Angeles and began dating R.J. Forrester.

Bill explains there’s more to the story. After they confirmed he wasn’t Luna’s father, Luna kissed him, twice. Poppy yells,“How could you, Luna?!” Luna, through revenge-filled tears, says that she finally had it good and couldn’t let go of her life with Bill.

Poppy seethes, “You were going to let me take the fall and rot in prison.” Luna is ashamed and sorry, “Please don’t hate me. I need you, mom. Please don’t leave me here.”  Next, Poppy tells the police to “Take her away.” Luna screams and cries as Poppy collapses in Bill’s arms.

Kudos goes to Lisa Yamada for an outstanding performance in her monologue on the episode, and for portraying the shocking twist in Luna’s turn to the dark side, and as Steffy deemed her, another “psycho.”  Seems like Steffy attracts them all, right? (Yes, we mean you, Sheila Carter). More props has to go to Romy Park for portraying the gut-wrenching realization of a mother’s betrayal by her own daughter.

Naomi Matsuda, who’s character of Li took down Luna, also gave kudos to Yamada via her Instagram and expressed, “So much fun working with Lisa Yamada incredible gifted actress here!!!! 🌟 Lisa’s work is truly so natural and beyond- I am looking forward to working with her again very soon🌟Lisa is a Star to keep watching!” Yamada responded, “I adore you!! im so happy whenever we have scenes together.”

Check out the key moment when Luna admits her guilt to Poppy. Then let us know, what did you think of the performances of Lisa Yamada and Romy Park? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Great acting from all………

Truly good girl gone bad!

The suspense and suspense is minimized with characters who are peripheral and on the scene for so short a time. As B&B is very derivative in its storytelling, is it possible writers’ endgame that Luna could be a nuSheila?

Good luck to them but Brad bell is a monster ! I just tuned out again wish all of them the best

Not going to throw names around but he truly treats people badly he is not his Dad and this was obviously a rewrite . I know in these times people need a job but I would not work for him no way. KA was a great recast of Taylor yes she was younger also but she made it work they called her cancelled her contract told her did not need Taylor hell she got a Emmy nom the first year no support from the cast what the heck. Soaps are barely hanging on all of them and it’s not viewers fault you write crap treat people like crap and they are not going to watch.

Yep I threw a name out there shame on me.

Ok I’m on a roll here he literally destroyed the character of Taylor fired HT one year brought her back two years later from the dead and made her a dead beat drunk had her sleeping with everyone that is not the character his father created

Luna played her role so well.i always wanted to act hope it’s never to late for me.

Yamada and Romy Park are getting Daytime Emmy nominations for sure. The ladies at B&B are Bold and should win with those performances. Congrats!

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.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Katie Stands Up to Brooke, ‘I Have Spent My Entire Life Sacrificing My Happiness for Yours. But No More!’

Katie and Brooke

On Thursday, October 15 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Heather Tom continues to rack up scenes for her 2027 Daytime Emmy reel after Katie lays the smackdown on Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) in a boiling over point in their sisterly feud.

In story, Brooke has learned that Zende (Delon de Metz) has defected from Forrester Creations and come to work for Katie at warring fashion house Logan.  After she confronts her sister, for what Brooke views as another betrayal, Katie shows that she will no longer be stepped on and over by her sister.

During the argument, Katie points out (and we are glad that she did), that Brooke previously disowned her from the family. She told Katie she was no longer welcome at the Forrester mansion and along with their sister, Donna (Jennifer Gareis), kicked her to the curb.

KATIE WON’T BACK DOWN

Fast-forward to yesterday’s B&B, and here was the pointed dialog delivered by Katie to Brooke: “I’m not going to apologize for Logan’s success. I’m not going to apologize for building a company and a brand practically overnight. And if Forrester is really on the ropes, then maybe you should look internally at how you’re treating your talent,” says Katie. She adds, “Sounds to me like you’re not running a very good business. Because that’s what this is, Brooke. It’s business.”

Brooke fires back, “No, Katie. This is more than business. This is a personal vendetta against me, and it’s gone too far. I don’t like looking at you and thinking that I don’t know my sister. I don’t like that feeling. What about you? Don’t you want this war to end?”

Appalled, Katie tells Brooke, “You want to end the war? You want to stop fighting and come together as sisters, right? You want to stop fighting and come together as sisters, right? Where have I heard those words?”

TOSSING A LOGAN OUT OF THE FAMILY

Just then, Katie reminds Brooke she came to set things right with her months ago only to be thrown out of the family. Katie tells Brooke, “Oh, yeah. I remember I said them to you the night you told me that I was no longer your family … that I was no longer your sister.”

A defiant Katie tells off Brooke, “You barge in. You’re ranting about Zende and how I’m attacking Forrester or attacking you. Well, how many times have you attacked me? Huh? I don’t have to take this anymore. I don’t have to be victim to your emotional manipulation. I have spent my entire life sacrificing my happiness for yours. But no more!”

As Brooke is left reeling and in tears, Katie delivers the final blow to their relationship as they knew it. “You think that I should talk Hope (Annika Noelle) and Zende into going back to Forrester? Why should I do that? I’m not giving them up. I’m not giving up on Zende. I’m not giving up Hope. I’m not giving up my name. I am not backing down. Are you listening to me, Brooke? Are you hearing me? Because I will never back down!”

You can catch the aforementioned scene featuring Heather Tom and Katherine Kelly Lang below.

Now weigh-in: Do you feel Katie is completely justified in everything she said to Brooke? Do you want Katie to crumble the dysfunctional house of Forrester Creations?  Should Heather Tom just get ready for another Emmy come next year, and heck, she might even win this year, since she is nominated for a completely different storyline for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmys Awards, which would make her the winningest daytime actress of all-time!

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Brooke Confronts Katie On Her Vendetta Against Her and Claims, ‘It Breaks My Heart’

Brooke and Katie

The feud between the Logan sisters continues to escalate after Katie (Heather Tom) once again gain another employee acquisition from a former disgruntled Forrester Creations designer.

During the October 14 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Zende (Delon de Metz) along with Dylan (Sydney Bullock) show up at Logan. Zende informs a stunned Hope (Annika Noelle), Katie, Will (Crew Morrow) and Deke (Harrison Cone), that he quit Forrester and would like to join them. Katie and Hope are thrilled. Will is more impressed than ever with Dylan.

Back at Forrester Creations, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) walks into the CEO office where Eric (John McCook) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) inform her that Zende quit and has gone to work for Katie. The three of them realize things are changing within their company because of Katie, but refuse to look at their part in their own implosion!

BROOKE VS. KATIE ROUND 10

Now angered, Brooke hightails it to Logan to confront her sister. Ready for Brooke to come at her, she tells her sister that she offered Zende an opportunity and he took it. He was being under-valued at Forrester.

Brooke fires back that Katie lied to him, just like she did to Hope. She claims Katie is trying to build Forrester 2.o to spite her! Katie is not deterred by Brooke. She tells her sister to look around – that this is what she and Hope are doing – building a new company.

Continuing on her rant, Brooke says she feels stabbed in the back by her own sister, and her daughter hasn’t help with that feeling. Hope just stands there. Brooke tells Katie that they are truly suffering over at Forrester. Business is not good. She demands, “It has to stop!”

Katie snarks back that this is just business. However, Brooke throws down on her sister, arguing that this is a personal vendetta against her. “It’s revenge,” declares Brooke, and, “It breaks my heart.”

But, does it truly break Brooke’s heart? Is she just saying that to save Forrester from losing any more design talent to Logan? Do you hope Katie pays Brooke back for going after Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) years ago and always talking down to her?

Now, let us know via the comment section how you want the sisterly feud to come to a conclusion. Do you want Katie to successfully take down Brooke and Forrester Creations … or Brooke to take down all of Katie’s hopes and dreams? Weigh-in!
