The Bold and the Beautiful summer whodunnit is really heating up on the CBS soap. Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) and Poppy Nozawa (Romy Parks) are at the top of a lot of B&B fans’ Il Giardino Killer suspect lists. After it was revealed that Tom Starr (Clint Howard) was threatening to expose Poppy’s past, it seemed pretty obvious who the killer was. But, this is Bold and Beautiful, and we should expect the unexpected.
Poppy Nozawa seems like the obvious killer, which means she probably is not. Poppy has means and motive. Luna Nozawa’s (Lisa Yamada) mom has a history of drug use (like the murder weapons) and every reason in the world to want Tom Starr to be silenced.
The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Katie Logan Isn’t Even Close
There’s only one problem with the theory that Poppy Nozawa is the killer, Katie Logan (Heather Tom) is still alive. Whoever killed Tom Starr, also killed Hollis with the same drugs.
Hollis was an innocent bystander who knew TOO much. Once the killer realized Hollis was closing in, he suffered the same fate as Tom.
Katie Logan straight up accused Poppy Nozawa of killing Tom Starr. If Poppy killed Hollis just for finding a clue, wouldn’t she have taken Katie out too? When push came to shove and Poppy knew the jig was up, she didn’t go kill anyone to silence them.
Instead, Poppy put on an Oscar-worthy performance for Bill Spencer and confessed to her sordid past and Tom Starr connection. Why couldn’t she have just done that in the beginning and spared herself the headache of committing two murders?
Whoever the killer is, they are not worried about Katie Logan AT ALL. That just says that Katie isn’t even warm, and is barking up the wrong tree by blaming Poppy Nozawa.
