How Bold and the Beautiful Messed Up Poppyâs Character
Poppy has become public enemy number one on The Bold and the Beautiful. The revelation about her past with Finn was shocking, but itâs caused many fans to turn against her. Although characters can always be redeemed, Poppy might have no hope.
Betraying Her Family
When Poppy (Romy Park) debuted on B&B, she sparked intrigue. She was written as a flawed single mother trying to do right by her daughter, Luna (Lisa Yamada). Poppy had a reputation as a wild child, always getting into trouble, which angered her sister, Li (Naomi Matsuda).
At first, fans were supportive of Poppy and believed Li should give her sister a second chance. However, once Lunaâs paternity storyline began, the fan support shifted. Poppyâs evasiveness and lies about the manâs identity painted her in a negative light. But now itâs one step closer to uncovering the truth.

Li suspected her ex-husband, Jack (Ted King) was Lunaâs dad. However, a DNA test showed he wasnât the father. The results lead to Li and Poppy taking steps to mend their strained relationship. During their heartfelt conversation, Poppy declared sheâd never betray Li by sleeping with Jack. While Poppy didnât sleep with Jack, she did betray Li by sleeping with her son.
Last week, B&B dropped a bombshell when Poppy and Finn (Tanner Novlan) revealed their past affair. Although Poppy and Finn arenât blood-related, the fact she slept with her then-college-age nephew is still disturbing. To make matters worse, thereâs a possibility he might be Lunaâs father.
Miss Nozawaâs Downfall
Poppy has shown sheâs the type of person who doesnât take responsibility for her actions. What she doesnât know is her behavior means consequences for herself and others. When the truth about Lunaâs paternity is finally revealed, itâs going to destroy many lives.
Finn and Steffyâs (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) marriage will be tested, resulting in more fan backlash for Poppy. Finnâs relationship with his mother, Li will also be impacted if Finn defends his aunt.
But the biggest loser in this storyline is Poppy. She had already lost her daughter Luna, who was arrested for murder. Luna claimed her bad childhood and lack of a father figure led to her committing the crimes. When Luna learns that Finn is her dad, itâll drive a bigger wedge between her and Poppy.
As for Poppy and Li, the sisters will again be estranged after this shocking revelation. Li will be furious at Poppyâs betrayal and order her to stay away from her family.
Poppy can apologize and defend her actions, but what she did is unforgivable. Although sheâll try to make it up to everyone, the damage is done. Thereâs no way she can come back from the latest betrayal.
