The Bold and the Beautiful star Lisa Yamada has made a blunt confession about the sudden change in her character Luna.<\/p>\n
When Luna first debuted on the CBS soap,<\/a> she was a sweet intern at Forrester Creations. However, within months, Luna went from an innocent young girl to a murdering psychopath.<\/p>\n \u00a0\ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox\ud83c\udfac<\/a><\/p>\n Lisa Yamada Addresses Luna\u2019s Sudden Change on The Bold and the Beautiful<\/p>\n The change in Luna earned Yamada her first Daytime Emmy Award nomination. Ahead of the ceremony, the actress revealed the real reason Luna went from good girl to the most hated villain on the show right now.<\/p>\n It turns out that Yamada had a conversation with executive producer and showrunner Bradley Bell at the Christmas party in 2023. Yamada admitted she was tired of paying sweet Luna and wanted Luna to channel her bad side.<\/p>\n Little did she know, Bell was going to go full-on crazy with Luna, who literally crossed over to the dark side, instead of just channeling it.<\/p>\n \u201cI meant a badass\u2014like Jacqueline MacInnes Wood\u2019s Steffy,\u201d she explained with a laugh. \u201cI guess he took that and ran with it, but I had no clue at the time. When Tom and Hollis were killed off the show, we all had conspiracy theories and there were so many names to consider\u2014but Luna was definitely not one of them!\u201d she told Women\u2019s World.<\/a><\/p>\n Related: Is Willow Leaving \u2018General Hospital\u2019?<\/a><\/p>\n The Bold and the Beautiful\u2019s Lisa Yamada Got Help From Her Co-Stars<\/p>\n Even though she was ready for a change in her alter ego, Yamada wasn\u2019t confident she could do justice to making Luna the villain she has become.<\/p>\n Lucky for her, she was paired with soap vet Don Diamont (Bill), who knows all too well how to play a bad guy.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s my mentor, because I was kind of worried about the whole evil storyline. I used to just come into work, say sweet dialogue, and call it a day. Now, I\u2019m always sobbing and screaming and swinging a gun around! Don saw my potential before even I did, and he championed me,\u201d Yamada expressed.<\/p>\n The revelation that Luna is the granddaughter of another iconic villain from The Bold and the Beautiful, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown), also helped Yamada. Brown has been playing Sheila for decades and shared her interesting take on it with the young actress.<\/p>\n It turns out Brown\u2019s advice was to have fun with it, because being the villain gives a person the most interesting storylines to play on the show. Now that Yamada has lunatic Luna down, she\u2019s finally able to see what Brown was talking about.<\/p>\n Tune into the Daytime Emmy Awards<\/a> on Friday, Oct. 17, to see if Yamada takes home her first statue. She is nominated in the Outstanding Emerging Talent category.<\/p>\n The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS.<\/p>\n Next: \u2018The Bold and the Beautiful\u2019s Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Delights With First Photo of Fifth Son<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 15, 2025, where it first appeared in the TV<\/a> section.
