This marked an emotional shift for Hope. Instead of focusing on her past with Carter, she put her mother’s happiness first. Brooke was touched by Hope’s words, and their bond grew stronger. It felt like a step toward healing and a possible reunion between Brooke and Ridge.
Carter is caught in the middle
At Forrester Creations on The Bold and the Beautiful, Carter thought about his past with Hope, remembering how safe she made him feel. Before Carter could reflect further, Zende walked in and questioned him about his relationship with Daphne. Carter denied anything was going on, but Zende didn’t believe him, especially after hearing that Daphne had been working with fragrance experts.
Katie confronted Daphne, asking if she came to Los Angeles to ruin Hope and Carter’s relationship. Daphne avoided the question at first, but eventually, under pressure from Katie and Zende, Daphne finally admitted that her original goal was to help Steffy break up Carter and Hope.
However, after getting to know Carter, she fell for him and claimed her feelings were real. Carter overheard part of the conversation and walked in, clearly surprised and confused. Both Daphne and Katie showed concern for Carter, but the tension between them was obvious.
Katie warned Daphne not to hurt Carter, knowing how much he had been through. Daphne claimed her feelings were genuine, but Katie didn’t buy it. Carter was left feeling torn, unsure about Daphne and his situation with Hope.
