[NinjaPenguins]

I know if I have to choose between cheating scumbags, I’d prefer Jack. Dude looks like he knows what a shower is.

Ted King’s eyes are the best actors on this entire show. 

They really are. He did so much without saying a word. TPTB, why are you wasting this man with a bickering sisters storyline when Brooke is right there? I think TK and KKL would have amazing chemistry.

What's been presented on this show as a legitimate method for testing for DNA matches between individuals is COMPLETELY bogus - it looks more like a home pregnancy test than an actual DNA test - for one thing, there isn't a DNA test, including paternity testing, in the world that doesn't involve sending in the sample to a lab for testing, and you don't get back a stick with a line showing, or not showing, on it, you get a printout showing the method used for testing the samples, a summary of the results of that test and a conclusion on what the results mean.

Absolutely correct.  And those much more in-depth test results would show that Jack is not the father but is biologically related to Luna.  That would have been a much better way for this SL to unfold.  Li, so certain Jack is the father runs her own test and the results show Jack is "sort-of" her father?!  Related to Luna?  How could that be?!

I'm questioning if that DNA test doesn't show a relationship. Lol

If you're talking about the bogus setup the show claims is an actual home paternity test, then no, it doesn't - the thing looks more like a home covid test than anything else - an actual home paternity test, which is a DNA test, wouldn't involve taking a blood sample, but samples from inside the cheeks, and then sending them off to a lab for testing, and the lab wouldn't send back a stick showing, or not showing, a line, you'd get a printed form from the lab identifying the method use in the testing, the results of the testing and a summary of those results, and a sample from a biological grandfather would show as a familial connection.

As of Friday's show, Li's bogus test shows that Jack is definitely not Luna's father, but nothing else, which causes her to beg both Jack and Poppy for forgiveness.

[Cool Breeze]

I understand.  My point was had they used an actual paternity test, the results would have been much more interesting instead of the "one line for yes, two lines for no" COVID/pregnancy test facsimile they used.

But, I guess they had to go that route so that Li would be full of tearful forgiveness for her sister, having for years wrongly suspected Poppy of interfering in her marriage.  Then, shock-of-shocks, it's not Li's husband Poppy slept with, but her son!  Betrayal all over again!

[ByaNose]

Brad Bell should really sign Ted King to a contract. Which means he won’t. Why can’t we have pretty things?!

[KerleyQ]

Poppy letting Li sob all over herself apologizing for thinking she slept with her husband, when she really slept with her son is a choice. Although... I wonder if maybe Poppy is the one who doesn't remember sleeping with Finn. I had been operating under the assumption that Finn didn't remember for whatever reason. But, seeing that preview where Finn is saying "you know why," to her, it makes me wonder if maybe he remembers, and she doesn't (although he thinks she does). 

I feel confident Finn is Luna's father, but I really have no idea how they're going to get there. Every time I think I've figured out the "how" of it all, something comes along to change my mind. 

It would be hilarious if someone came across Steffy and Daphne meeting up behind a locked door, and rumors started flying around FC that Steffy is cheating on Finn with Daphne.

Yeah the science is one billion percent wrong, but:

1) why should the show now start doing things the way they would happen IRL (Luna get out of jail free card, etc.); and 

2) for sake of immediate drama, they went the Covid/home pregnancy test route. The reveal probably wouldn’t have been as impactful if everyone had to reconvene days /weeks later to see the results 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Jeez, if Li was angry enough to be poking hypo needles before, what’s she gonna do when she finds out Poopy was gettin’ with her teenage son?  Eek!

That Poopy is a piece of work, eh?  She was all weepy & shocked at how Li could’ve been so wrong & mean to her — while knowing that she still acted like a sleazy creep.  Yech.

OK, Jack, ya didn’t get with Poopy.  That doesn’t mean you ain’t a sleazy creep too!

So Daphne Le Pew is a close talker?  Uh, Carter, instead of the stupid smilies, ya need to order her to back the f*ck off & keep it professional!  And Hope, you fool, why in the hell are you so trusting to Steffy, who you know hates your guts?

Still trying to wrap my head around how Finn being her father, gets Luna out of a prison sentence for murdering 2 people.

Hey remember how Ridge got Flo out of prison for her part in stealing Beth and being bought by Taylor to give to Steffy as her new dolly.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Well. I was thinking the writers might be getting inspiration from the latest news of the Menendez bros & how they might get out of jail cuz.of the alleged abuse they supposedly suffered by their father.  But given how this show is soooo repetitive & unoriginal with storylines, maybe not.

Clearly, they’re looking for a way to not just fit Luna back in, but highlight her.  And that means not having her in prison — or stuck, forever hiding in $Bill’s manse, cuz that limits possibilities for storylines.  But I’m not seeing how they do this in a way that makes any sense, for someone who admitted to purposely killing 2 people.

Guess Bell figures making sense doesn’t matter & just shove any dumb sh*t at us?  Pretty much.  Blech.

[CharlizeCat]

I am curious about $Bill's backstory as it doesn't make sense. I never had the impression he didn't have a good relationship with his father and was "forced" into SP. When Bill first came on the show, he had been sent by his father specifically to get back at Eric by seducing Donna. Bill Sr. also left behind a tape about enacting revenge on the Forresters. Bill seemed very willing to so along with the plan.

He met Katie by accident one night at a hotel bar. Katie had just been fired from FC and got blind drunk. Bill took her to his hotel room and instead of taking advantage of her, took good care of her and called Donna to come get her. That's when Katie started falling for him.

Does anybody remember this? 

I also don't buy that Poppy's lifestyle had such a detrimental effect on Luna. When they first came on the show, Luna seemed very content and she and Poppy had a good relationship. Poppy may have been flaky, but I don't believe was abusive or neglectful toward Luna.

Make it make sense!

I 100% remember the Katie getting drunk and Bill taking care of her.

Also yes, Poppy and Luna seemed very close and happy when they first came onto the show. But we're *supposed* to forget this so the writing makes sense, rather than heaven forbid, the writers use their imagination and writing skills to *make* it make sense!

Does it?

[NinjaPenguins]

If they’re trying to clean up Luna’s image, may I suggest not writing dialogue that has her whining about being the child of one of her murder victims? Probably shouldn’t have shown that flashback of Luna handing Hollis another swig of poison as he started to peace out either. Rigging a paternity test and framing your mother aren’t crimes of passion. I suppose we’re meant to forget Luna creeping on Bill with that creepy smile on her face? ALL THIS SHIT JUST HAPPENED!!!

I’m not angry. Just disappointed in the complete lack of effort.

PREACH!!!  Too often lately the show keeps trying to retcon something that happened quite recently.  Why do they keep insulting/gaslighting viewers with recent events actually shown on screen?!  

[Lilac2000]

If they really wanted Lisa Yamada to stay they could have gone ye old soap style surprise twins. Make Poppy so flaky she didn't notice she delivered 2 babies and here comes Lina. Luna is how she originally played Mary Sue style and then film a few flashbacks (you know they love their flashbacks) where Lina puts Luna In a Box and takes over, kills Tom and Hollis, puts Steffy in a(nother) box, kisses Bill etc, leave her in jail, Luna escapes somehow and shows up at Bill's and for awhile they think Lina escaped jail but all is revealed (quickly or agonizingly slowly depending on the writers that week) and voila LY can play both versions as needed. Lina can bond with her psycho grandmother, Finn and Steffy can deal with him fathering twins with his aunt, bring in a recast RJ and a triangle with Will and Luna--months of story!
