When Poppy ( ) first arrived on , there was no question that Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) mother had some secrets but she was so kind and concerned about her daughter that her shortcomings were easy to overlook. But after revealing that Poppy had been in a relationship with Tom (Clint Howard) during his days as a touring rockstar, everything we know about Poppy has been turned upside down. Suddenly the magical night she spent with Bill (Don Diamont) is nothing more than a one-night stand.
Not only that, but if not for the DNA test — which still might not be accurate — it’s possible Tom could be Luna’s father. Li’s (Naomi Matsuda) harsh words about her sister’s lifestyle are now starting to ring true. The reason she never said anything about Luna’s father is that she didn’t know who her father was with any certainty.
That’s not something she’d want to admit to Luna, so she found clever ways to avoid the conversation altogether. But there’s something else that has me thinking about Poppy’s past. It always struck me as odd that Poppy kept telling Luna to lie to RJ (Joshua Hoffman) about what happened with Zende (Delon De Metz).
Luna’s instinct was to come clean right away. She didn’t know at the time that she’d been drugged, and her biggest concern was for RJ and Zende’s relationship. Poppy argued that telling RJ would cause an even bigger rift between the Forrester cousins, so she was better served keeping the secret and hoping it never came out.
