It feels like The Bold and the Beautiful writers just don't know what to do with Luna (Lisa Yamada) anymore. This week, we saw her finally wake up after Li secretly nursed her back to health in a ready-made hospital room in her home. Luna had fallen into a coma after being shot by Liam (Scott Clifton), who was trying to protect Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) in the beach house bloodbath in July.
What happened this week on The Bold and the Beautiful
Li felt sorry for Luna and felt she deserved a second chance at redemption. First off, this is completely out of character for Li. The Li we've seen on our screens for the past four years has never had any fondness for her niece Luna, even before we learned that Luna was the one who killed Tom (Clint Howard) and Hollis (Hollis W. Chambers) at Il Giardino. So it's odd that Li is going through all this trouble for Luna to keep her alive secretly.
Ever since Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) followed Li home and discovered that the granddaughter she was grieving was really alive, we've seen Li and Sheila acting fairly chummy, which is also out of character for Li. She could never stand to be in the same room with Sheila, yet now she feels a bond with her because Li found out she's Luna's grandmother, too? It all feels so strange and out of place.
Luna should have woken up with amnesia
What's wrong with this picture? Li and Luna were never close, and that's why it would have been more fun if Luna had woken up with amnesia. We've already seen sweet Luna, the intern at Forrester Creations who dated RJ Forrester (then-Joshua Hoffman), and evil Luna, who killed two men and locked Steffy in a cage. If Luna is not going to stay in prison for her crimes, then why not give her amnesia and take the character in a different direction?
Amnesia is a common trope in soaps, but we haven't seen it in The Bold and the Beautiful since 2016, when Liam was being kept prisoner in a cabin by Quinn (Rena Sofer). So it would have been interesting to see how Yamada would have tackled playing a disoriented amnesiac struggling to remember who she is.
Without remembering her evil side, Luna may have decided to pursue a career in medicine like her aunt/grandmother Li, her father Finn (Tanner Novlan), and her grandmother Sheila (who was once a nurse).
Instead, Luna woke up still obsessed with Will Spencer
Instead, we're picking up where things left off. Luna awoke from her coma and had a flashback of Will (Crew Morrow), the guy she's been obsessed with for months, who she knows is in a relationship with Electra (Laneya Grace) and not interested. In fact, it makes no sense that Luna would even want Will anymore, since he went to her apartment under the pretense of wanting to hook up with her when he was really wearing a wire and trying to trap Luna into confessing her desire to kill Steffy.
Trending We already get enough repetition on The Bold and the Beautiful with the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor triangle. It would have been nice to see the writers do something fresh with Luna's storyline.
