Bold and the Beautiful: Why Li Would Lie to Help Poppy (and Maybe Kill Someone) #boldandbeautiful

You’re listening to Soap Dirt, the latest in television entertainment news. Hey B&B fans, it seems like Lee Finnegan might be stacking the deck to help Poppy Naawa. But why would she, given their past? Let’s dive into five reasons Lee might be driven to help Poppy, maybe even to the point of committing murder on the CBS soap opera.

First, Lee had an illuminating chat with Bill Spencer. She reminded him that her marriage to Jack Finnegan was destroyed by his affair with Sheila and 30 years of lies about it. Lee despises Finn’s birth mother Sheila for breaking up her marriage. Framing Sheila, if she’s involved in these homicides, would be the ultimate payback.

Second, Lee adores her son John Finnegan but was horrified to learn Sheila is his biological mother. She wants Sheila out of Finn’s life because she’s dangerous. Lee tried to get Finn to drive Sheila away, but he’s too nice. Framing Sheila to keep her away from Finn would be a sacrifice Lee might make for her son.

Third, Lee feels indebted to Bill Spencer for saving her life after Sheila caused her near-fatal car crash. Bill wanted Luna to be his daughter, and Lee might help Poppy to repay Bill. This could involve faking a DNA test to ensure Bill is recognized as Luna’s father.

Fourth, there’s speculation that Finn could be Luna’s real father. Poppy lived with Lee, Jack, and Finn when Finn was in college. If Finn is Luna’s father, Lee might help Poppy to keep this secret, ensuring Finn never knows.

Lastly, Poppy might have pressured Lee to name Bill as Luna’s father to save Luna from her biological father, Tom, a former addict. Lee despises Poppy’s past but wants to protect Luna. By naming Bill as Luna’s father, Lee ensures Luna has a stable future.

In a recent episode, Lee told Katie she took charge of the DNA test to ensure there’d be no doubt. This raises suspicions that the test was rigged. Theories suggest Bill might have influenced the test results, but it’s unlikely. The show is facing plummeting ratings, and if the killer is random or doesn’t make sense, it might not help.
