Steffy Drugged, In The Cage, With The Secret


I have to say, I didn’t have Steffy in a cage on my bingo card. I figured that Luna would find a way to drug her but, a cage? Wouldn’t it have been easier to just OD her like her dead beat dad Tom and Hollis instead of hauling a cage into the apartment? I have questions..

Where did she get the cage? Did she have help or are we to believe she is Wonder Woman? Did she pull Steffy’s body onto the bottom of the cage and build the cage around her? How does a little girl like Luna drag dead weight into a cage? Again, are we dealing with Wonder Woman? Where did she get her “remarkable” DIY skills?

As for Steffy, she already saw the kiss and suspected something was weird, why in the world would she drink the iced tea? I mean I’m sure she was parched from running after Luna to an abandoned building that is about to be demolished, but still, Steffy is smarter than that. She’s been right about Sheila and Hope, why ignore your instincts now.

So how will this all pan out? Steffy has this secret now and Luna knows that if she gets away she will tell everyone. Will she be saved by Finn, Bill and Liam when they put their brains together and form a full brain? Or will we be looking at a find Steffy in the rubble scenario?

We shall see!

Where Is The Hope?


Are they trying to destroy Hope? Or are they setting up the next big storyline for her and if so, then I feel a brain tumor coming on.

First, she fell for Thomas, the last man on earth who deserved a space in her life, and then she has spent the last six months slowly sliding off the side of an emotional cliff. I'll admit, I loved Hope's scenes with Thomas and that's partly what soaps are all about right, that weird love affair that catches fire.

I'm glad that she turned his proposals down, and only in soapland would that break up a relationship, especially in this day and age. She asked for time and instead of granting it, Thomas got out of town. We watched Hope struggle in life and in business because broken hearts have a funny way of disrupting everything.

Hope had every reason to expect Thomas to return with a clear head and his emotions in check, maybe ready to continue things. It would have made sense. Instead, he returned from Paris, with Paris as his new fiance and of course Hope lost it.

She was barely hanging on and that started the spiral. Finn was always appealing to her and soon "SteffysHusband" (said in Brooke's exasperated voice) looked like the only good, viable man on earth. Clear-headed Hope would NEVER have kissed him. She would have thought of all the repercussions in advance and never let it happen.

But this is not clear thinking Hope. Even she keeps saying that she doesn't know what is wrong with her- which is likely our clue that something IS wrong with her.

Something big is brewing and it's clear that all the pain is just way too much for Hope to handle. Nervous breakdown? Suicide attempt? Something is about to happen and I think on the other side of it, there will be a real medical crisis to contend with.

The Bold and The Beautiful: The LUNA-CY



 What. In. The. Actual Fuck.

Who thought it was a good idea to have Luna kiss her daddy on the lips 5 minutes after finding out from a new paternity test that he's not her daddy?

Disgusting. Disturbing and absolutely brilliant on the writer's part because now, everything that we thought we assumed to be true has just been thrown up in the air.  There are so many things to question.

What if Bill IS her father and Luna didn't actually look at the result? What if he is playing her to see if she is tag-teaming him with Poppy? That would be cruel, but Bill isn't known to be the nicest guy when he thinks someone is running a game on him. I don't think that's what is going on here, but what if?

I know you saw that smile on Luna's face and crazy look in her eye when she kissed Bill. That was not the look of someone making a bad decision is an emotional moment. That kiss looked premeditated and her expression was one of satisfaction. She got her mother out of the way and now she could move in on Bill herself.

Luna is not the pile of remarkable sweetness that we have seen for months. That tremendous young woman (words that have been shoved down our throats to describe her for months) has been playing everyone for months, and why? Think about it, she laid it all out for us when she broke down and admitted to Bill how hard her life with Poppy has been.

Were those mints the final straw, or were they an excuse just for Luna to sleep with Zende? Ya have to question absolutely everything at this point.

Would she set up her mother for murder? She has just as much reason to want Tom Starr dead as Poppy had. Luna didn't want to give up her version of happily ever after either. If Tom Starr came to their house who is to say he hadn't talked to Luna alone off camera? And that backpack of letters, did Luna bring it to the apartment? Was she getting it from Il Gardino when Hollis found her? Did she poison him with the drugs too so that the secret wouldn't get out?

I have so many questions. And I really think Finn is her father. If Poppy accidentally drugged and hooked up with Finn when he was in college, and then got pregnant, Luna would have Sheila's psycho DNA. And if I'm being honest, in that one crazy scene, I can totally see Lisa Yamada's Luna going toe to toe with Kimberlin Brown's Sheila. 

Oh and one more thing, Luna has yet to call RJ?! Or to visit her mom in jail. That tells you her real attachment to the two people that she is supposed to be the closest to. 

I don't know what's real and what's not, but I'm totally here for it.
