Splat, Flatten, Recover — Roadrunner Luna Never Lets Up: The Bold and the Beautiful Two Scoops For the Week of October 6

You can't keep a good cartoon character down, and The Bold and the Beautiful keeps proving that over and over again with their very own soap opera cartoon villain.

Roadrunner Luna

Luna Nozawa just smiles and coos her way through life, with everything she ever needs right at her fingertips. Baby book? Check. Beach bag? Check. Swimswuit? Check. New highlights? Check. Wig and sunglasses disguise? Check. A whole wardrobe of belly shirts? Yep, Luna has that too. Just like a cartoon character, she bounces back with all he needs met out of nowhere. So, where do all these items emerge from, with a crazy young woman who has no job, no money, and no morals?

She even has a miracle SORAS'd pregnancy, in which a pregnancy test turns positive four soap days after conception and she is far enough along for a paternity test two days later. Incredible.

And how does she keep coming out on top? Why do all these bleeding hearts want to give her second and third chances? Everything about Luna has made no sense, while also being offensive.

When we still thought Luna was a damsel-in-distress heroine who took too many of her mom's magic mints and "accidentally" lost her virginity to Zende, we thought she was a victim of some weird kind of sexual assault. Then, we learned she knew exactly what she was doing with Zende. We are not sure how to label that little trick Luna pulled, except that it was ick, ick, ick.

Eventually, we learned what we had suspected. Luna is the result of a one-night stand between her mother and her mother's nephew via adoption. And Finn was only a teenage college freshman when he and Poppy had sex. So, Luna is a result of some sort of weird grooming between her mother and her cousin, who she now knows is her father.

Not only that, but Luna murdered a man she thought was her father at the time. He just wasn't her first choice for a dad, so she had to kill him. So yeah, there is nothing appealing, endearing, and entertaining about Luna.

Now, watching her parade around, rubbing her super-flat belly with a deranged smile on her face as she awaits the birth of what is essentially her rape baby is just too much. We need the Luna lunacy to come to an end. She is irredeemable at this point because The Bold and the Beautiful purposefully chose to make her behavior more disgusting with each redemption arc opportunity. Just. ENOUGH.

Yes, Electra, we know you love Will

And then there is the love story, in which Luna is the spoiler. They are supposed to be the young star-crossed pair who have a crazy, obsessive interloper ruining it all for them. Except there is nothing there except repetitive dialogue that leads nowhere.

All we have heard for months is how much Electra loves Will. How dreamy he is. How kind. How handsome. And she is still going. OMG, enough! We get it. Will can do no wrong. Electra is head over heels, and on and on and on. And poor Ivy is forced to hear it all, except when Hope plays the role of Ivy on occasion.

Batie? Again?

Is this Luna nonsense a ploy to finally get Bill and Katie back together? Next week, they decide to fight for custody of Luna's rape baby, so we guess Bill will finally get his wish and have his Katie back in his life.

We're not quite sure how we feel about this, but at least it will give them something to do. Maybe Bill won't screw up quite as royally as usual this time.

So, um, what happened to Lope?

Where is Hope's romantic future? | Image: CBS

The Bold and the Beautiful fandom has been a little confused this week, and rightfully so. Are Hope and Liam back together? Did they make it official? Because all we saw was Hope making sure that Liam noticed no engagement ring on her finger as they danced with Beth and...well, that was it.

On a normal soap, there would be some sort of follow-up, but since that moment in Brooke's living room, we have gone a whopping six episodes with zero information about what happened next. Who does that? Oh, that's right, B&B, of course.

Sure, we saw Hope this week, but all she could talk about was the rebirth of Hope For The Future and how tall her little brother had gotten. Cause now we are supposed to ignore the fact that Deke was born several years before Hope. She made some inferences about her life beginning anew as her fashion line begins anew, but that was about it. No mention of Liam at all. Yeah, this is not how to soap.

Carter? Daphne? Are you there?

What happened after open mic night? | Image: CBS

Not only did this show have absolutely no pickup after Liam saw Hope's naked finger, but there was also no follow-up to Carter finding Daphne sad-songing it at the Olive Garden's open mic night.

Did they go back to his apartment, where Carter made all of Daphne's many dreams come true? Like, what happened? Why are we not allowed to know? And how is this a soap opera?
