Let everyone rejoice that the days of Luna and her cartoonish antics dominating The Bold and the Beautiful's storylines are officially over. The soap has returned to what it does best: fashion and the showdowns that follow. However, despite the show's return to form, a few things continue to raise eyebrows. Some moments of the show are firing on all cylinders, and others are downright maddening. From a sister cementing her place as the face of the family to a couple that can't seem to keep their clothes on, there's so much to dissect from this week's episodes.
When concerns becomes control
When Katie (Heather Tom) initially told Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) about her decision to walk away from Forrester to start her own fashion house, Brooke feigned support. Katie saw through Brooke's "well wishes," and she knew that deep down, her big sister had unexpressed opinions about her ability to make a success out of her new endeavor. While that certainly irked Katie, it was something she could contend with. However, the relationship between Brooke and Katie shifted on its axis once she revealed the name of her company as "Logan," a name synonymous with Brooke.
Brooke completely lost it once she saw the name. It's understandable that she'd be confused about Katie's choice of company name, but the level of vitriol and narcissism she displayed was a bit much. She acted as if Katie's entire existence on this Earth wasn't nearly as important as hers. The name belongs to Katie as well. It also belongs to Donna (Jennifer Garies). Brooke is not the only member of her family in the public eye. Sure, she has turned her name into a brand, but arguably, she's more synonymous with Forrester than she is the name Logan itself. Her career has existed within the confines of one specific company.
Brooke and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) have a control problem, and it's getting rapidly out of hand. They believe they're the only individuals capable of making decisions, and whatever they declare should be considered gospel. It happened with Eric (John McCook) at Forrester with his forced retirement, and now it's happening with Katie and her new fashion house. Brooke and Ridge parade around as if family is everything to them, but they're the first people to put a dagger in the hearts (or backs) of their nearest and dearest when it suits them most.
Dylan's shock value is long gone
Did something supernatural happen to Dylan (Sydney Bullock) when she ran Luna (Lisa Yamada) down with her car? Did the spirit of the serial murderer and sexual predator somehow find new life inside of her? What exactly is going on with Dylan, and why is she still on the show? It was already quite the choice for Dylan to be exposed as the driver who claimed Luna's life, but extending her story beyond that "shocking" reveal makes no discernible sense. Dylan seems poised to pursue a bizarre obsession with Will (Crew Morrow) and Electra (Laneya Grace), moving into their house after suddenly becoming homeless. Make it make sense.
Trending
Dylan is not nearly interesting enough as a character to become a mainstay in any leading story heading into 2026. The death of Luna leaves a villain void on the canvas, but there was a slew of existing characters who could've assumed that mantle. For some reason, Dylan is getting a sob story that viewers are supposed to care about and get invested in, only until the rug gets pulled from underneath everyone, and she becomes a carbon copy of her roadkill.
