Brad Bell, the creator of The Bold and the Beautiful, is facing heavy criticism for the current storyline involving Luna. Many fans have expressed their displeasure with the drugged up Luna storyline, in which she took her mother's 'happy mints' and ended up in bed with Zende while under the influence. To make matters worse, Luna was hallucinating and seeing RJ's face during the encounter.

Social media has been buzzing with comments from fans. Some have pointed out that Brad Bell seems to have learned this type of storyline from his father, Bill Bell, who had a similar storyline on The Young and the Restless in the 1990s.

However, critics argue that times have changed and such storylines are no longer acceptable. One fan commented, "Bold also had Ridge have sex with Caroline while she was drunk and thought he was Thorne and he knew it. But he continued because it was a joke gone too far. It is one thing to do this story in the 80s and another to do it in the 2000s. It was bad then, but even much worse now. Basically most of his stories he just takes from his dad."

Another critic pointed out that Brad Bell has been made aware of the harm caused by storylines where consent is compromised. In an interview with Michael Logan, Bell was confronted with the impact of his choice to have Thomas and Caroline involved in a similar situation.

Despite this, it seems that Bell still doesn't care about the consequences of his storytelling choices.

While some fans have drawn comparisons between Luna's story and a past storyline involving Malcolm and Drucilla, the key difference is that Malcolm knew Dru was under the influence and was also his brother's wife. Luna, on the other hand, entered Zende's room of her own accord and did not appear to be impaired.

Fans will have to tune in to see what unfolds next in the storyline. The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on the CBS network. Share your thoughts on this story in the comments section below.
