The Bold and the Beautiful: 2 outcomes that would have been better than Luna's death (and 2 worse)

On The Bold and the Beautiful, Lisa Yamadas’ run as the twisted and evil Luna has come to an end, but what would have happened if she hadn't been killed off?

An alternate universe on The Bold and the Beautiful

Lisa Yamadas’ character Luna was polarising, you either loved her or hated her, or just loved to hate her, there was no middle ground at all. She had done as terrible things on B&B as any other villainous character, and that says something when you have the likes of Sheila Carter on the show, who just happens to be her grandmother. Today, we answer what would have been better than killing her off and what would have been worse than seeing the rushing headlights appearing on Luna's face.

Two things, better than losing Luna

1. Nothing at all, it was time. Luna had run her course, and there really wasn’t too much more that she could realistically have done. There would be no more pardons, no appeals, just jail. Her crimes were too heinous, especially the assault and alcohol drugging of Will Spencer (Crew Morrow). No one was going to forgive her for that, not onscreen or offscreen.

2. Disappearance, for good. Having her escape into the night, searclights probing, dogs baying and the sounds of footsteps receding as the searchers get further and further from her trail. This would have built suspense. Will we ever see her again? Was that her in the shadows, lurking in a future episode? Even if never to be brought back, the audience would never know, and that's just as much of a hook.

Two things, worse than killing off Luna

1. Not killing her off. See point one above. Really, we, the viewers, have spoken on forums and chat boards alike, and they all say the same thing. It was about time. Enough with the Luna storyline. To the point I’d entertain the idea of perp walking Lisa Yamada into the closest precinct myself LOL (I’m kidding, she did an incredible job of portraying Luna, the only reason we hated the character so much was on her acting up a storm, a daytime Emmy proves that)

2. At least they did it in a pretty final kind of way, not a lot you can come back with after being mowed down by a speeding vehicle. “It’s just a flesh wound, walk it off,” doesn't really apply here. If the scene had ended with no body found, and a bloody trail or Remy (Christian Weismann) pulling up and whisking her off and helping her escape, that would have been much worse.

Having this arc come to an end has been great, really, and it won’t be the last time we see Lisa Yamada on our screens, not at all; she has a bright future ahead of her. But for now, fake L.A. is better off.

You can watch The Bold and the Beautiful weekdays on CBS or stream it live or on-demand on Paramount Plus.
