Fool us once, Bold & Beautiful, shame on you. Fool us a dozen times, shame on us. The show wants us to believe that it really has killed off Luna Nozawa. But we don’t, and we won’t. Let’s count the reasons why.

1. No body. Anyone who’s watched a soap for even five minutes knows that no body = the character isn’t dead. That’s Daytime 101.

 

 

2. Bold & Beautiful has tricked us with this “So-and-so’s dead” schtick before — with Finn, with Li, with Sheila. We’re not buying it again, especially not in this case.

3. Though Lisa Yamada’s goodbye message seemed to confirm that she really was done, remember — Tanner Novlan and Kimberlin Brown both gave exit interviews when Finn and Sheila were “killed.” That’s come to be the way the show plays with us.

 

 

4. Bold & Beautiful has invested too heavily in Luna to dump her. It’s centered an entire twisted family around her and has had her drive story ever since she went psycho. And the heinousness of her crimes is, to the show, irrelevant. Sheila has shot damn near every character — including her own son — and still, they all flock to Il Giardino as if it was the only restaurant in all of L.A.

 

 

5. There’s too much story left to tell. Just when Will and Electra are ready to tie the knot, Luna is sure to waltz in with her and her victim’s baby in her arms. (Despite what Deputy Chief Baker said, no way would the powers that be cut Luna’s tie to the Spencers.) And having almost lost her granddaughter twice at that point, Sheila will torpedo her own marriage to assure that Luna doesn’t go back to prison.

 

 

Does it make sense? Maybe not. But Bold & Beautiful chucked logic and reason out the window ages ago.
