A Mother-Daughter War Ignites
Tensions are about to boil over in The Bold and the Beautiful, as Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park) and Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) face off in a bitter and emotional confrontation. The once-estranged mother and daughter are set to clash in scenes that will expose long-buried resentment, twisted love, and a shocking warning about Luna’s unborn child.
According to B&B spoilers, Poppy’s reaction to Luna’s survival — and pregnancy — will be anything but motherly. When she learns her daughter is alive and carrying what could be a Spencer heir, Poppy’s fury will erupt in full force.
“She Should Have Stayed Gone”
The news of Luna’s return will rock both Poppy and John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan), especially since Finn’s mother Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) had insisted Luna was lost forever.
When Li told Poppy that Luna had died, the reaction was disturbingly cold. Poppy even admitted to feeling relieved that her daughter would no longer cause chaos. But now, with Luna not only alive but entangled with Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) in a manipulative pregnancy scheme, that relief turns to rage.
Insiders suggest Poppy will lash out, declaring that the world might have been “better off” if Luna had truly perished — a comment that will devastate her daughter and ignite one of the soap’s most explosive mother-daughter showdowns in years.
The Battle Over the Baby
As the argument spirals, Luna will accuse Poppy of being a neglectful and self-serving mother, vowing that she’ll do better with her own child. Poppy, however, will turn the accusation back on her, cruelly warning that Luna doesn’t have what it takes to be a good parent.
“She’ll say Luna would ruin this baby’s life before it even begins,” teases one insider. Poppy’s warning? That Luna will never be allowed to raise her child — especially not if the powerful Spencer family has anything to say about it.
The Spencer Factor
Luna’s focus on money and status hasn’t gone unnoticed. She’s reportedly been reflecting on the “perks of bearing a Spencer heir”, but Poppy will deliver a cold reality check. She’ll tell Luna that the Spencers will move heaven and earth to keep her away from the baby — and from Will.
In a cutting moment, Poppy might even invoke Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace), warning Luna that if Electra hasn’t left Will by now, she probably never will. It’s a line meant to sting — and it will.
“You’ll Never Be a Real Mother”
Their exchange is expected to end in heartbreak, with Poppy issuing a chilling warning about Luna’s future as a mother — and her place in the Spencer legacy. As old wounds are reopened and harsh truths spill out, both women will be left shaken.
But the question remains: is Poppy trying to protect Luna from heartbreak… or destroy her completely?
Coming Up on B&B
With Bridget Forrester recently back in town and the Spencer family circling, the drama surrounding Luna’s pregnancy will only intensify. Loyalties will be tested, lies will unravel, and the Nozawas’ fractured bond may never recover.
Stay tuned — this family feud is about to explode.
Steve McQueen’s Daily-Driven Hudson Wasp Is Heading to the Auction Block
The name McQueen is most commonly associated with a dark green, V-8-powered Mustang, a Porsche 917 in Gulf orange and blue, or perhaps the curves of a road-going Jaguar XKSS. Then again, if you’re a younger fan, perhaps McQueen to you is a wisecracking red stock car—Ka-Chow!
Here’s an unexpected machine that fits into the overlaps of that McQueen Venn Diagram, a car that the late actor drove right up until he died, and one that’s a cousin to the car that helped young Lightning McQueen find his racing mojo.
McQueen’s Favorite Machine
Coming up for auction early next month at RM Sotheby’s is a special 1950s Hudson. Specifically, it’s a 1952 Hudson Wasp two-door Brougham that used to belong to none other than Steve McQueen.
The smaller relative of the NASCAR-winning Hudson Hornet, this little car has plenty of sting under its hood, with a straight-six engine fitted with the “Twin H-Power” package featuring dual intake manifolds and carburetors. The transmission is a four-speed automatic, which is pretty uncommon to see on a ’50s Wasp.
Steve McQueen had plenty of racier stuff, from Ferraris to Porsche 911s, and that aforementioned jaw-dropping Jaguar. But he was fond of Hudson’s automobiles and owned several of them, including a 1953 Hornet and a 1950 Custom Commodore Six convertible.
This ’52 Wasp was a regular driver, what McQueen called his Sunday-go-to-church car. It’s been loved but clearly used, with a few dents and some paint-crazing here and there. The odometer shows 63,537 miles.
Sold at McQueen’s estate sale back in 1984, this Wasp has spent the last 19 years tucked away in the collection at The Petersen Automotive Museum. It’s been carefully cataloged and is now looking for a new owner.
As a piece of McQueen memorabilia, it’s bound to be far more reasonable than trying to park the Mustang from Bullitt in your garage. The original from the movie sold for $3.74 million five years ago, setting a record for Mustangs.
This Hudson Wasp should fetch a much more reasonable mid-five-figure amount when it goes under the hammer. It’s quick, classy, and comes with a great provenance. Just the thing for going to church—or a car show—on Sunday morning.
