I’m still sad for Bill in “The Bold and the Beautiful”
Bill Spencer lacks nothing on Rich and beautiful. He has a great life with good people around him, but I’m still sad that his dream of a family with Luna and Poppy won’t come true. And I’m sad that the girl’s father, Bill, is leaving.
When Bill (Don Diamont) encountered Poppy (Romy Park) and Luna (Lisa Yamada) at Il Giardino, he looked like he had seen a ghost. He recognized Poppy as someone he once knew, but he couldn’t place her. When they met again, he realized he had never really gotten over that magical night they spent together at a music festival in San Francisco, and they rekindled their relationship. It wasn’t long before Poppy and Luna moved into the Spencer Estate and a paternity test revealed that Luna was his daughter.
But now the illusion is shattered. Poppy is in prison and Luna is behaving strangely. Bill doesn’t know what to do. He wants to believe Poppy, but the evidence against her is convincing. Nevertheless, he is determined not to make any hasty decisions until the police have completed their investigation.
However, given the “new” evidence against Poppy that Luna presents in the August 28 episode, it may be difficult for Bill to keep his faith in Poppy strong enough to save their relationship. He loves her, but there are just too many questions about her. Even if she is exonerated, it will be hard to trust her because she lied when she said she saw Tom before he died.
The whole situation makes me sad because I really enjoyed seeing Bill as a girl dad. And more importantly, the people around him enjoyed seeing him as a girl dad too. Even his son Liam (Scott Clifton) noticed a very big, very positive change in his dad. It will be sad when this is over.
Of course, the future still looks bright for Bill Spencer, even if Poppy and Luna aren’t as much in his world as they once were. He knows Katie (Heather Tom) still loves him, and he’s admitted she’s his one true love. Does that mean their romance could rekindle? Their son Will (Crew Morrow) certainly hopes so.
Even though I mourn what could have been for Bill Spencer, I am excited to see how this all plays out. At this point, anything can happen…
