If you prefer your soap opera couples on the young and sweet side, then you probably adore The Bold and the Beautiful‘s RJ Forrester and Luna Nozawa. Like most things that happen on the show, they met through their involvement at Forrester Creations and felt an instant spark that quickly blossomed into love. But, does this couple have that extra something to make them a supercouple, or are they just an average pairing that could be easily torn apart?
RJ Forrester’s Connection To Luna
Luna (Lisa Yamada) arrived at Forrester Creations as an intern and distinguished herself as hardworking, helpful, and lovely. RJ (Joshua Hoffman) took instant notice as their bond seemingly developed in the blink of an eye. Luna appears to appeal to RJ in part for her unassuming and gentle nature. RJ was captivated as she spoke of the simple joys of being raised by her single mother Poppy (Romy Park).
Luna supported and empathized with RJ through Eric’s health crisis. Her Christmas gift to RJ wasn’t a framed photo of the two of them together (or a sultry shot of herself), but rather a touching shot of RJ and Eric working together. Luna showed that she cares more about what’s important to RJ instead of focusing on herself.
Luna and RJ’s relationship is based on a heartfelt connection of mutual admiration and respect rather than an over-steamed attraction. Is this a bit old-fashioned? If you are a fan of Hope (Annika Noelle) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) ripping each other’s clothes off at work, it may seem so.
Zende’s Interference
Because Luna is such a good listener, she can become easy prey for those with ulterior motives. Enter Zende (Delon de Metz), who has been bonding with Luna via intimate chats at the office. Zende’s rivalry with RJ has been building for the past month. (Refresh your memory of that here.) Luna could present the perfect opportunity for Zende to exact revenge by stealing her heart away.
Does Zende pose a real threat to the long-term union of Luna and RJ? Would a relationship between Luna and Zende be a bit more spicy and a little less sweet? Let us know what you think.
