BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL SPOILER: “DAPHNE CAME BACK & DESTROYED EVERYTHING” — B&B UPDATE 24

Los Angeles is bracing for the storm as Daphne Rose, played by Murielle Hiller, returns to The Bold and the Beautiful—and her comeback threatens to blow apart Hope Logan’s world, just as her dream wedding to Carter Walton looms large.

Steffy Forrester’s business-driven decision to bring Daphne back to Forrester Creations sets the stage. Her goal? To launch a new men’s cologne line with a familiar face to the brand’s audience. While Steffy insists it’s all business, Hope is instantly on edge, sensing trouble. Carter assures his fiancée that Daphne’s return means nothing. But with a woman like Daphne, assurance is fragile.

Behind the glossy smiles and perfumed samples, a war begins. Daphne once had deep feelings for Carter—feelings that never truly faded. When Steffy contacts her with the offer, Daphne initially resists, bitter over Carter choosing Hope. But the moment she hangs up, the flashbacks begin. Memories of kisses, Carter’s praise, and emotional closeness resurface—and Daphne’s mind is made up. She’s going back to LA.

Hope, meanwhile, feels the pressure. As she clings tighter to Carter, Deacon Sharpe, her father, raises serious doubts about her engagement. He warns her about Carter’s past—and the chaos he brought to Forrester Creations—not so long ago. Deacon’s not convinced Carter is the one, and he’s not subtle about it.

Daphne’s reappearance soon spirals into an emotional landmine. Despite Steffy’s push and Carter’s uneasy consent, tension fills the Forrester offices. Carter tries to avoid Daphne, but she’s persistent, weaving herself back into his professional life—and emotional space. Her eyes say she still wants him. Her words? Even more dangerous.

Hope, rattled, accelerates wedding plans. She’s desperate to secure her place by Carter’s side before Daphne can gain ground. But history has a cruel sense of humor—especially when Daphne starts plotting.

Her strategy is slow and methodical. First, she digs into Carter and Hope’s relationship. Then she finds a vulnerable former Forrester employee, someone with access and a grudge. With their help, Daphne gets hold of confidential data—leading to a paternity test filed under a pseudonym and a doctored photo of Hope with Thomas in an intimate embrace.

The wedding day arrives in typical Forrester glamour. White orchids bloom, violins play, and Hope appears radiant in a flowing lace gown. But the fairytale is a facade.

Daphne, dressed innocently in lavender, lurks at the edge of the ceremony, waiting. And when Hope walks down the aisle, Daphne steps forward and hands Carter a black envelope.

The silence is deafening.

Carter opens the envelope. The crowd watches as his expression darkens. Inside is the altered photo and a forged email from Hope to Thomas, casting doubt on her true feelings for Carter. Hope pleads her innocence, but the damage is instant. The wedding is in ruins.

Brooke confronts Daphne. “You did this, didn’t you?” she hisses.

“I did what needed to be done,” Daphne says calmly. “Someone had to wake him up.”

Carter walks away from the altar. Hope collapses, heartbroken. Ridge warns Daphne that she’ll regret this, but Daphne disappears, leaving chaos behind.

The fallout is swift. Media brands it “The Logan Love Collapse.” Carter hides in his work. Hope becomes a recluse. Brooke hires a private investigator and uncovers proof: the email was fake, sent from a masked IP address.

Hope eventually finds the strength to fight back. When she arrives at Carter’s home to explain, she finds Daphne already there, spinning her narrative.

“You were never meant to be with Hope,” Daphne pleads. “I just exposed the truth.”

Carter, seething, replies, “You humiliated her. You humiliated me.”

Hope slams Brooke’s evidence down. “This is your masterpiece?” she demands.

With tensions boiling over, this triangle could explode all over again. Is Hope and Carter’s love strong enough to survive Daphne’s sabotage? Or has she awakened something neither of them were ready to face?

One thing is clear: in The Bold and the Beautiful, love is never safe—and the battle for Carter’s heart has just begun.
