B&B: January 2025 Discussion Thread

I think it's likely this is where Bradley Bell is going. If Finn is Luna's father, that makes Sheila Luna's grandmother.

This show is nuts enough to do it.

[skiman12082004]

That's exactly what I'm referring to.

Oh, God...that's right. Sheila would be her grandmother. This has to be the "twist" because there is no long-term conflict with Jack being the father since he's not even on the show full-time.

[Soapsuds]

You are correct!

Jack is only back for a few episodes.

[bongobong]

Sheila/Luna scenes could be fun, but who knows if they'll even play that story beat.

It would be hilarious if the aftermath featured a bunch of scenes of Li getting increasingly mad when the various Forrester/Marrone/Logan's she explains the situation to can't understand what the fuss is about.

Is Poppy supposed to be much older than Finn on the show? I think the actors are the same age.

Making Finn Luna's father is gonna throw poor Poppy under the bus.

Did she drug him with the mints ?

How old was Finn at the time ?

Why would Finn be having sex with his "aunt " ?

Finn I'm sure would remember having sex with Poppy.

 

There is plenty of drama to mine from Jack being Luna's dad but we know Bradley doesn't care about character development and organic drama, it's just shock stunts and half assed non sensical plotting.

That's the only logical route left.

Jack didn't want blood drawn because it would show a familial tie to Lunacy's father. Jack hasn't been on enough to mine any real story. That's a real shame. Jack could've been involved with Taylee or Brooke. Finn does opens up a lot of drama on a lot of fronts.

All other potentials are eliminated:

- Ridge/Thorne/Nick: no because of RJ via Stephanie/Massimo; Eric: too gross

- $B has taken separate tests; Liam -lol

- Carter/Justin: obviously no;

- Deacon: could've been plausible, but they missed the boat on establishing anything with Poppy months ago.

1-17

 

Ooooo....go 'head, Brooke. Walked into Steffy's beachhouse looking like sin and if looks could kill, Taylee would be TOAST. 

 

Well, it doesn't look like I missed anything while my system was down. But I was shocked by the fact Tom ISN'T Luna's father. And it's NOT Bill, either. Then who is Luna's father then??? Because I'm sure it's not Jack. But still...Brad is pivoting Luna off, is he?

 

I was so annoyed at Taylee flaunting her relationship with Ridge in Brooke's face. And now Ridge hung up on Brooke, too? Well, fine. Brooke can do better ANYWAY. 

[bongobong]

Now I think it's Ridge because what could be more likely ATM than Ridge being the father and no one mentioning RJ?

[edgeofnik]

If it's Ridge, they'll rewrite it so that Lunacy was *fantasizing* about RJ, but nothing ever happened. What a mess!

Re: FC takeover. The story would be far more interesting if RJ, Rick, Thomas, and, even Bridget were on canvas.

RJ truly torn between parents. Rick by Brooke's side, but also angling to swipe the company from Carter for himself! Thomas as HFTF, but is he really a spy and still in love with Hope? Bridget angry at her sister for stealing her father's company. There's no way Bridget would condone Hope stealing Eric's company. Bridget could finally reveal those repressed feelings about Brooke/Deacon. These four characters are canvas-ready with actors the fans know and mostly like. But what do I know?

[I Am A Swede]

Totally agree. There are so many aspects to this story that are being overlooked because Brad Bell only focuses on a very small group of characters.

[asafi]

Yeah B&B has really gone downhill. Same recycled love triangles and drama without any of the depth or creativity the show used to have.

[Maxim]

I don't care who is the daddy of Luna. I don't care for Luna. I don't care for Will or Electra. All of this will not exist in a year. Why should I even care. That's one of the main problems of this show. What happens now, Bradley will re-write in a year again. 

[Fevuh]

I tuned in today thinking what a telegraph.  Just get to the multiple personalities already.  Luna’s nutso characteristics fit with her being Sheila’s granddaughter - what lame lines when Luna said something like — I guess I had the drive to get a job at Forrester but who was that girl, feels like it wasn’t me?  Loll - she said something like that.  
 

I really wish he would write that Steffy doesn’t always win; have Carter have secretly figured out it’s Steffy behind it, he gets the contract and the perfume and tells Daphne to take a hike as Hope and Steffy look on as he busts Steffy and Daphne with Hope.  Have them both turn and laugh at Steffy and Daphne.

The show is up for renewal in the Spring (They didn’t get Y&R’s cushy surprise renewal through 2028 last year) so it’ll be interesting to see what CBS does this year. Really the only way for B&B to survive is for Thudley to pass on the reins.
