Now that The Bold and the Beautiful's Luna is gone, what's next for Li and Poppy?

Now that everyone on The Bold and the Beautiful is reeling from the news that Luna is dead (or so we're told), what's ahead for Poppy and Li?

Li should have more to do than merely hang out with Sheila, and Poppy has been back-burnered since she and Bill split up. So, what's next for the Nozawa sisters?

It's beyond frustrating that Li (Naomi Matsuda) has been on her sister Poppy's (Romy Park) case about one thing or another ever since the Nozawa sisters first arrived on B&B in 2021. Yes, we know Poppy wasn't an ideal parent and was more interested in men and drugs. Li is right about that. But can she please give her sister a little grace? It's not like Poppy committed violent crimes and killed people. Luna didn't pick up that behavior from her mother. She became violent all on her own. Luna made those horrible choices, and Li should try to remember that.

Sheila (Kimberlin Brown), however, did commit violent crimes and did kill people. Did Li forget that Sheila ran her off the road? Did Li forget that she woke up in a trash-filled alley, covered in dirt, and Bill (Don Diamont) found her and took her into his home and took care of her? She ended up that way because of what Sheila did to her. Did Li also forget that Sheila shot Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), and she even had an affair with Li's own husband, Jack (Ted King)? In spite of all that, Li not only forgave Sheila. She became friends with her. And yet, Li can't find it in her heart to forgive her own sister, who hasn't done any of those heinous things. It's very sad and makes absolutely no sense.

Li does have every right to be angry that Poppy slept with her adoptive nephew, Finn. But still, it seems like Poppy can't even be in the same room with Li without getting a dirty look or a sarcastic remark thrown at her. We never see Katie (Heather Tom) hold a grudge against Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) for sleeping with Bill when he and Katie were married. So what's with Li's perpetually nasty attitude toward Poppy?

Poppy could benefit from therapy

Poppy keeps saying she's glad Luna is dead, after Luna tried to frame her for two murders she herself committed. We know those are harsh words, coming from a parent. But Poppy is most likely struggling due to experiencing all kinds of complex emotions, after all the chaos that Luna brought to so many people's lives. Maybe she needs a therapist to help her sort out those emotions and put them in perspective.

Let's see the Nozawa sisters find a way to bury the hatchet and make peace with each other on The Bold and the Beautiful. Maybe they should pursue family counseling with Taylor (Rebecca Budig), who could help them reach an understanding with each other.

Taylor has already given them words to mull over

The morning after Luna was fatally hit by an oncoming car on The Bold and the Beautiful, Taylor offered the bickering sisters a few words to reflect on. She said, "Pointing fingers and rehashing the past won't help." Maybe those are words they could start off their first therapy session with.

It would be interesting to learn what kind of childhood the sisters had. Was Li always this bitter and resentful toward Poppy? Let's hear more about their background. It may shed some light on why they can't seem to get along. It would be good to see Taylor do some probing and ask for some specifics about their early years growing up. The answers might explain their current behavior with each other, and maybe then we could see some healing and growth in the relationship between the Nozawa sisters.
