There are times when soap opera characters in general say things which are downright frustrating — and a whole lot of them occur when they are, well, specifically on Bold & Beautiful. Watching the show, I often find myself shouting at the television, “Do you even hear what you’re saying?” That being the case, I thought this week it might be fun to take a closer look at what was said, what was meant, what went unsaid and how I’m pretty sure most viewers reacted! 

Ode to a Missing Toe

“Piggies in a blanket, underneath the sheet. Sheila had nine toes… but I saw 10 on those feet!” — This was an actual line of dialogue uttered by Deacon. I mean, kudos to Sean Kanan for pulling it off, but…

“I don’t care how many toes she has or didn’t have!”— Really, Steffy? All week, various people acted as if Deacon was insane for suggesting Sheila might be alive despite knowing she’d faked her death on numerous occasions.

“I’m picking up some takeout.” — Really, Finn? You had to get it from Il Giardino? Is it the only restaurant in Los Angeles?

“Did Sheila ever mention anyone else?” In fact, Deacon, she did not. Because the show basically ignored Sheila’s entire past, including kids other than Finn.

Make It Make Sense

“Somehow, my regular breath mints got mixed up with my mom’s special mints.” — We feel ya, Luna, but, uh… still not entirely sure how neither of you noticed.

“Having feelings is one thing, but I never would have acted on them knowing how much Luna loves R.J.!” — And yet, Zende, you did exactly that, knowing exactly that.

“I had no idea Luna wasn’t herself that night.” — So Zende, you just assumed she was the kinda woman who’d slide into your bed?

“It never occurred to me that Luna might have been on something. Why would it? It was my grandfather’s wedding!” — Which you somehow thought was the kind of occasion on which Luna would cheat on her boyfriend?

“It’s obvious how much you care about Luna.” — Really, Carter? And you say this to Zende based on… what?

“I didn’t do it to get back at you or anything like that.” — At least not once the writers decided to change the already-in-motion story in which Zende was doing exactly that.

“Why the 180?” — Welcome, Carter, to The Bold and the Beautiful. 

Yes, But Are You Related?

“They’re cousins, Mom. They’re family!” — Luna, making sure everyone in the audience knows R.J. and Zende’s connection.

“You’re family!” — Luna, making sure, um, R.J. knows he and Zende are related.

“Stabbed in the back by my own cousin!” — R.J., further exploring the same branch of the family tree.

“I’m still just trying to process killing someone, you know, my husband’s biological mother… “ — Steffy, c’mon, just say “Sheila.”

Random Acts of Nonsense

More: Who got Scott Clifton to do what he didn’t wanna do? 

“No offense to your dad, but I really question his judgment sometimes.” — Liam, sweetie, no. You don’t get to say that. Ever.

“How could you drug your own daughter?” — Can we please stop acting as if Poppy shoved the mints — special or otherwise — down her daughter’s throat?

“I’m just really trying to be understanding of the connection that you had to Sheila.” — Since when, exactly, was Steffy doing that for Finn? ‘Cause she didn’t even want him going to the memorial service!

“Kelly’s goggles!” — Because it’s required that every week, a child forget something to explain someone dropping by unexpectedly.

… And the Quote of the Week:

“I have no idea who this mysterious Sugar is, and frankly, it sounds like a dog’s name.” — And for once, Finn ain’t wrong.
