Sometimes on soaps, things escalate quickly. That explains how over the past few days, Bold & Beautiful‘s Luna went from verbally jousting with would-be rival Electra to suggesting she and grandma Sheila join forces to get rid of Steffy!
Fortunately, Sheila is a whole new person, right? She’s exorcised her demons thanks to the love of a good decent man. But look closely at the scene in which this proposition was put forth, and you’ll see a glimmer of the old Sheila. One who, if only for a split second, thought, “Life would be easier without Steffy!”
Although Sheila is determined to prevent her grandchild from spiraling out of control, the fact that Luna has already killed two men might indicate it’s too late. And as the scenes for this week indicate, Luna is about to run out and get herself a gun.
Will Luna Kill Steffy?
Now, do any of us really think for a second that the soap would let the double murderess make it a threefer by rubbing out Steffy? Certainly not. She will remain front and center until the day that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood wants to exit stage left a la Susan Flannery, for whose indomitable character the younger woman is named.
But Steffy will need to vanish from the canvas for a hot minute so her portrayer can give birth to her and hubby Elan Ruspoli’s fifth child. With her due date rapidly approaching, it’s a safe bet that Luna’s latest descent into madness will play a role in Steffy’s upcoming departure. The real question is exactly how things will play out over the next few weeks. And as you might guess, we have thoughts on that!

Option No. 1
Luna kidnaps Steffy. And why not? She’s done it before, drugging Steffy and leaving her locked in a cage in a building that was scheduled for demolition. This possibility gives Sheila a chance to discover what her granddaughter has done and actually behave in a sane, rational manner for a change. (She’s even advising Luna to steer clear of Steffy.) Sheila could take over her daughter-in-law’s care, whereas Luna was going to leave her to starve. So by the time the prisoner escaped — or was set free by Sheila — Steffy would begrudgingly feel indebted to her monster-in-law. Luna might be sent straight back to the slammer, but Granny might end up in those Forrester-Finnegan family photos after all!
Option No. 2
Luna kills Steffy. That is, she “kills” Steffy. Luna thinks that she’s removed the one obstacle to a relationship with Finn, maybe by running her stepmother off the road (like Maw May did Li). Luna delights in “being there” for Finn in his hour of need and even suggesting that Sheila should rejoice: This is her big chance to bond with him, too! Little do either of them know that an amnesiac Steffy has washed up on the beach and embarked on a friendship with a sexy surfer (maybe played by Days of Our Lives’ Greg Vaughan, ex-Eric). By the time Steffy discovers her true identity, maybe she’s caught feelings for the new guy and returns home not only determined to get Luna sent up the river but forget the handsome stranger who accidentally touched her heart.
Option No. 3
Luna’s determination to get all up-close and personal with Finn could drive Steffy to say, “See ya!” She’s done it before, after all. When the going gets too rough, she gets going, if only to regroup and come back stronger than ever. (Right, Sheila?) But that would be the least dramatic of the options. Which one do you think the show will go with?
