Bold and the Beautiful: Dee’s Double Standard on Luna and Sheila Leaves Fans Baffled

The Bold and the Beautiful is no stranger to dramatic contradictions, but the latest storyline involving Dee, Luna, and Sheila has viewers doing a collective double-take. On paper, Dee’s instincts about Luna make perfect sense. Yet, when compared to his baffling friendliness toward Sheila, the show leaves fans questioning whether this is a plot oversight—or a deliberate setup for a larger twist.

Dee’s Sharp Instincts About Luna

When Dee entered the Forrester orbit, it quickly became clear that he wasn’t naive about who he was dealing with. His suspicion of Luna felt earned. After all, Luna’s track record is dark and dangerous, even by soap standards.

She’s caged a co-CEO, shot an ex-husband, and taken multiple lives when cornered. Adding to that already chilling rap sheet is her assault on Electra’s love, Will, one of the more disturbing acts that hasn’t even crossed Dee’s radar yet.

So yes, Dee’s desire to distance Remy from Luna—whether as a friend or something more—was smart, savvy, and consistent with the way someone gunning for Forrester fame might think. If Dee is trying to build his brand, the last thing he needs is guilt by association with someone carrying Luna’s bloody baggage.

It’s the kind of careful maneuvering that could put him on an RJ-level trajectory toward overnight success. Fans cheered when it became clear Dee was paying attention.

The Plot Hole: Why Is Sheila Exempt?

But then the story took a sharp left turn. For all of Dee’s caution around Luna, he appears perfectly comfortable cozying up to Sheila. That’s where logic collapses.

Sheila Carter isn’t just a problem—she’s practically the embodiment of every Forrester family nightmare. Her rap sheet includes shootings, kidnappings, manipulations, and a body count that rivals a horror movie. She has left scars on almost everyone in her path: Steffy, Finn, Brooke, Taylor, Stephanie, and the list keeps going.

How could Dee possibly see Luna as the bigger liability while treating Sheila like a tolerable presence? The math doesn’t add up.

A Family Blind Spot?

Part of the confusion stems from Dee’s backstory. Raised by Amber, Dee should have grown up with stories about Sheila’s destructive influence. After all, Sheila framed Amber for drug use and once tried to kidnap and kill her. It stretches believability to think Amber never mentioned her, leaving Dee oblivious.

And if Dee did know? His friendliness makes even less sense.

There’s also the Deacon factor. Dee has watched his father work tirelessly to rebuild his life. For Deacon, marrying Sheila is like tossing a match into a pile of gasoline-soaked rags. It risks undoing every shred of progress he’s made. One would expect Dee to intervene, the same way Thomas campaigns to reunite Ridge and Taylor.

Instead, Dee’s silence leaves fans scratching their heads.

The Hope Connection

Another wrinkle is Dee’s role within the broader family web. He’s Hope’s older brother, which only intensifies the contradictions. Hope has lived through Sheila’s reign of terror, including watching her threaten Steffy and Finn. For Dee to show warmth toward Sheila while warning Remy away from Luna creates a bizarre family disconnect that feels unearned.

Soap families thrive on tension, but there needs to be consistency in motivation. Here, Dee’s actions seem more like narrative shortcuts than organic character development.

Missed Opportunities

Bold and the Beautiful has layered the Dee–Luna–Sheila triangle with potential, but the writers seem to be underplaying some of the juiciest dynamics. What if Dee’s friendliness is actually a mask, part of a longer con to protect Deacon from Sheila? What if his coldness toward Luna is less about her history and more about something personal she threatens to expose?

There are rich veins of drama to mine, but right now, fans are left with a glaring imbalance: Dee treats Luna like an untouchable threat while giving Sheila, the ultimate Forrester destroyer, a free pass.

The Verdict: A Plot Hole Too Big to Ignore

Fans adore Dee’s energy and the fresh perspective he brings to Los Angeles, but his behavior raises more questions than answers. By any measure of logic, Sheila should be the red flag in bold letters, not Luna. Unless the show plans a twist to explain his double standard, this inconsistency risks undermining an otherwise compelling storyline.

For now, Bold and the Beautiful viewers remain invested—but also frustrated. Dee’s fondness for Sheila and disdain for Luna feels like one of the biggest plot holes in recent memory, one that the writers will need to patch if they want to keep fans fully on board.
