Bold and the Beautiful seems to have recently embraced a shift in morals for their characters, adopting a set of values reminiscent of the 1950s, particularly in matters of intimacy.
This week, RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) planted an idea in Luna’s mind, discussing the events between her mom and Bill Spencer over 20 years ago. He hinted that it was more than just a few dances at a rock concert.
Luna took a while to grasp RJ’s point on Bold and the Beautiful. When she finally asked if he meant her mom and Bill had hooked up all those years ago, she recoiled as if it sounded unpleasant.
Then there’s Li Finnegan, portraying sex as something undesirable outside the confines of marriage. The show shifted from the steamy scenes between Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) to a week where bedroom intimacy seemed taboo, at least initially.
The soap has strongly hinted at Bill Spencer being Luna’s father, or is it a clever setup for a surprising twist in the storyline?
Maybe Li’s opposition is rooted in past hurts. In the world of Bold and the Beautiful, perhaps Jack Finnegan is Luna’s father, or at least Li suspects so. Li’s emotional breakdown when expressing the unfairness of Poppy being able to have a child while she couldn’t might suggest long-standing suspicions. If a DNA test proves Bill is Luna’s father, perhaps Li Finnegan will ease up.
The most peculiar aspect is Li’s adamant insistence that her sister and niece stay away from Steffy’s family. It’s as if she’s hiding something, fearing it will be revealed if her family associates with the Forresters.
