In a shocking turn of events, Carter completely blindsides Ridge by handing back control of Forrester Creations and announcing his departure. To everyone’s disbelief, Carter is walking away from everything he has worked for, choosing love over power. His decision to leave for Paris with Daphne raises many questions—will this bold move bring him happiness, or is he making a choice he’ll soon regret?
For weeks, Carter has been torn between his deep love for Daphne and his unwavering loyalty to Forrester Creations. He fought hard alongside Hope to gain control of the company, but deep down, he always knew that his place was never truly at the top. After much soul-searching, Carter comes to the realization that wealth and success mean little without love. In an emotional moment, he meets with Ridge and relinquishes all claims to the company, officially restoring power to its rightful owners.
Spoilers indicate that Ridge will be left completely stunned by Carter’s abrupt change of heart. He may even suspect that Daphne has influenced Carter’s decision or worry that his longtime friend is making a rash choice he’ll later regret. But Carter stands firm, assuring Ridge that he is finally prioritizing his personal happiness over ambition. 
Daphne, caught off guard by Carter’s grand gesture, is deeply moved when he tells her he’s ready to start a new life with her in Paris. Meanwhile, Hope is furious upon learning what Carter has done. She tries desperately to talk him out of leaving, reminding him of everything they built together at Forrester Creations. But if Carter is truly committed to Daphne, there may be no turning back.
Ridge, on the other hand, may feel a sense of justice in seeing Carter walk away. However, despite any past conflicts, will he secretly miss Carter’s presence at Forrester Creations? With one of its key players gone, the company’s future may shift in unexpected ways.
Did Carter make the right choice by sacrificing his position at Forrester for love, or will he come to regret leaving everything behind? Share your thoughts in the comments, and stay tuned for more Bold and Beautiful spoilers!
