This week, The Bold & the Beautiful showcased its signature style by whisking us away to a stunning location for romance and excitement, captivating viewers with its breathtaking scenery. However, not all the events were as delightful, especially with Bill and Katie’s questionable parenting decisions, which left fans scratching their heads. The mix of picturesque moments and flawed character decisions created a contrasting experience for the audience.
Recent episodes have stirred up quite a buzz, particularly with the return of Will, adding a fresh dynamic to the storyline. The arrival of Crew Morrow, son of Joshua Morrow, evoked a sense of nostalgia for longtime viewers who remembered his father’s debut. Yet, the Katie and Poppy storyline has left fans divided and eager to see what unfolds next, with opinions varying on the direction of the plot.

Fans of The Young & the Restless who remember Joshua Morrow debuting as Nick must have felt deja vu seeing his son, Crew Morrow, appear on Thursday’s Bold & Beautiful It was a clear case of the apple not falling far from the tree, bringing nostalgia to longtime viewers. Although there isn’t much for Will to do right now, this could change if Bill turns out not to be Luna’s father, potentially adding more drama.
More first impressions of the new Will emerged with his somewhat absurd return, creating mixed reactions among the audience. Poppy’s exaggerated scream, and the fact that neither she nor Luna recognized Will despite pictures of him around the house, added to the absurdity of the scene. This unusual introduction left fans both amused and perplexed.
Miscommunication and Misplaced Priorities

For weeks, Bill and Katie discussed how to inform Will about the Poppy/Luna situation. However, during Katie and Will’s conversation, it was evident they hadn’t told Will that his dad had no new roommates. Bill had ample time to ensure his new family members knew what Will looked like to prevent such an awkward encounter.
Katie, however, was preoccupied with the “Poppy drugged her own daughter” debacle. It seemed we had moved past the “special mints” nonsense, but Katie acted as if Poppy had Luna doing crack off RJ’s abs. At one point, Bill’s ex even declared, “He moved a drug addict into the house?”
Questionable Choices and Unexpected Appearances
Why was Zende taking photos of Brooke’s modeling session and working with the social media team? This task seemed better suited for RJ, who supposedly spent years taking photos and using social media as an influencer, making him the ideal candidate.
Moreover, why was Finn present to watch the woman his wife detests model lingerie? Steffy’s presence made sense as co-CEO, but Finn’s presence seemed to serve no purpose other than for Brooke to lecture her daughter about making eyes at Steffy’s husband. Perhaps Finn was at Forrester because the show only has one hospital office set, and his mom was using it that day, creating a convenient reason for his appearance.
Drama and Suspense Continue
Brooke’s empowerment message about age being just a number was commendable, though more impactful with a diverse range of models. Ridge’s spontaneous slogan, “Forever sexy. Forever beautiful. Forever Brooke,” would make an amazing ad campaign. However, the stunning location shoot felt pointless without added drama.
The writers foreshadowed plot points with the backpack full of letters, adding a layer of suspense. Luna’s rapid transition from “Is this dude my dad?” to “Did you kill this dude?” undermined the supposed mother-daughter bond they shared. The show’s avoidance of explicitly stating that Poppy slept with Bill and Tom within days highlights the storyline’s improvisation and lack of continuity.
