Daring and the Lovely sees one thing massive simply occurred for Lisa Yamada. She landed a juicy function on a brand new TV sequence. So, does this imply lunatic Luna Nozawa is out at B&B? Can Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wooden) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) lastly loosen up? It’s Belynda from Cleaning soap Filth and we’re going to speak about Lisa’s new challenge and why it seems like her time on B&B as Luna might come to an finish.
Lisa Yamada Lands Main Function in ‘Legally Blonde’ Prequel ‘Elle’ on Amazon Prime
It was lately revealed that Lisa Yamada landed a key function on a brand new Amazon Prime video TV sequence. It’s referred to as Elle And it’s a prequel to the hit 2001 film Legally Blonde that the majority of us have seen and most of us like. I prefer it.
This sequence takes place a number of years earlier than the occasions that occurred within the film. It follows Elle Woods by highschool in LA earlier than she went off to varsity after which after all bought her shot at Harvard Regulation College. So Lisa Yamada gained a sequence recurring function as Amber, one among Elle’s pals at her Bel Air Excessive College in LA.
That is after all great information for the actress and plenty of followers of her work as Luna on Daring and the Lovely might tune in to observe her on Elle. The sequence is taping now and can debut on Amazon Prime subsequent Summer time 2026. It’s being produced by Reese Witherspoon, the Legally Blonde goddess herself.
What Lisa Yamada’s New Sequence ‘Elle’ Means for Luna Nozawa on Daring and the Lovely
It is a big alternative for Lisa and in case you didn’t realize it, she has finished numerous different superb work earlier than touchdown the a part of double homicidal maniac Luna Nozawa. I feel Lisa is destined for large issues above and past soaps, which has me questioning if Daring goes to jot down her out or on the very least again burner her character on B&B no less than for some time to facilitate her filming this and different tasks which may be coming.
Daring and the Lovely’s Observe Report: Quietly Writing Out Characters
Typically, the CBS cleaning soap writes actors out and doesn’t trouble to tell us. Working example, Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) most lately taken off the credit, taken out of the opening sequence, and never one peep from the showrunner. And after they wrote out Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen), they even denied letting her go. However the fact got here out when Krista confirmed that they had fired her a 12 months earlier than her contract was set to finish.
So, that is seemingly going to be a wait and see factor with Lisa since Daring doesn’t trouble to let followers know casting data as a rule. Even worse, they’ve had actors intentionally mislead followers. Like after they had Kimberlin Brown and Tanner Novlan do exit interviews when Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) supposedly died. Followers discovered these have been bogus exits lengthy earlier than B&B tried to shock us with the reveal their characters have been very a lot alive and those exit interviews meant nothing. So now now we have Lisa Yamada’s destiny as Luna Nozawa up within the air.
Indicators Pointing to Luna Nozawa’s Potential Exit from B&B
So, actual fast, let’s discuss a couple of purple flags that Lisa could also be again burnered or her function pushed to minimal recurring as she pursues new alternatives. Initially, Finn doesn’t appear involved in being a dad to Luna. By no means. Finn is basically sticking to his weapons about Luna not having a spot in his life.
And naturally, Steffy’s adamant there’s completely no manner she is going to let Luna anyplace close to her household, particularly when she’s dealing with the traumatic ordeal of Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton)’s dying sentence. Steffy Forrester is cherishing her household greater than ever and she or he is aware of firsthand how harmful Luna is as a result of she locked Steffy in a cage and was planning to have her squashed by a wrecking ball. So yeah, I don’t see Luna getting anyplace with Steffy or Finn.
Daring and the Lovely: No Romance Forward for Luna?
Second purple flag, there may be little or no hope that Luna goes to land a romantic main man. She desires Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) however he’s all about Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) now and for the foreseeable future. Will desires nothing to do with Luna although he’s not getting any loving from Electra but and Luna’s been throwing herself at Will, like actually in her underpants, .
And he nonetheless turned her down. Advised her to steer clear of him and Electra. And except they carry again Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) to hook up with Luna , who in LA of their proper thoughts goes thus far her, which is a big downside for future storylines on a cleaning soap opera, which is about love and romance and drama.
Daring and the Lovely: Luna’s Lacking Connections?
With that third purple flag, the one character that Luna often interacts with is Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), who does adore her granddaughter, Luna. We’ve seen how thrilled Sheila is to have a granddaughter in her life.
And Luna is the one household that Sheila has, other than her husband, Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan), who will let her into their lives. And vice versa, , Sheila is the one household that lets Luna come round. However don’t neglect, Sheila’s normally not on display screen, not as a lot as she has been lately on. She’s form of again on the again burner more often than not recurring.
And fourth purple flag, and that is big. What future is there forward for Luna in LA? I imply, how do you progress ahead? How do you evolve the character of a double assassin?
Sure, it’s true. Sheila’s a killer who has managed to remain round, however that was nothing in need of a miracle. And Deacon is a devious but understanding man. There’s not numerous these round. And once more, Sheila is totally on the again burner as of late. She’s not a entrance burner main woman for probably the most half.
The Way forward for Luna Nozawa: Potential Exit Storylines on Daring and the Lovely
So Finn turning his again on Luna as soon as and for all might set the stage for her exit. Perhaps she’ll head out of city. All of the individuals who hate her are wealthy. So possibly somebody will give Luna a giant fats chunk of change to go away LA. Perhaps Greenback Invoice Spencer (Don Diamont) and even Sheila who’s bought cash stashed away. You recognize, Grandma might give Luna some cash to get a contemporary begin elsewhere.
Or possibly Brad Bell will do to Luna what he did to Thomas, RJ, Thorne Forrester (Winsor Harmon), and Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jonas) and Rick and Maya Avant (Karla Mosley) and Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) and Flo Fulton (Katrina Bowden) and Pamela Douglas (Alley Mills) and so many others and simply fake they don’t exist. Simply slip them proper onto that again burner after which knock them off the again of the range. Solely give them occasional mentions about stuff that’s occurring off display screen. Simply allow them to fade away.
I’ll say Daring and the Lovely actually scored after they employed Lisa Yamada. She is extremely gifted and she or he was hearth as Luna at her craziest and deadliest. However it’s apparent that Lisa is on the market auditioning and that’s not for nothing.
If she was full-time on contract at B&B, it’s arduous to think about that they’d inform her it’s okay. Go audition and positive you’ll be able to settle for a task on one other sequence. We don’t need to see her go, but it surely seems just like the writing could also be on the wall and Luna’s exit is barely a matter of time, however we’ll see the way it goes.
