DOUBLE GAME! The LIES Behind Daphne’s Alliance! REAL Reason Carter & Hope Are FIGHTING! | The Bold and the Beautiful

When Carter Walton decided not to fire Daphne Rose, the talented French perfumer, it unknowingly set off a chain of events that would shake Forrester Creations to its core. Daphne had successfully developed two unique fragrances for the fashion house, but in the process, she found herself drawn to Carter on a deeper level. What started as a professional collaboration soon became a tangled web of emotions, deception, and power plays.

Steffy Forrester originally brought Daphne in as part of a plan to drive a wedge between Carter and Hope while also benefiting from her remarkable scents. However, Steffy soon realized that her plan wouldn’t go as intended, as Daphne wasn’t interested in playing mind games—at least, not in the way Steffy had hoped. Instead, a different kind of connection emerged between Carter and Daphne, one that Hope never saw coming.

For the past six months, Carter and Hope had been in a relationship, but the spark that once ignited their romance had dimmed. Now, they were more like business partners than lovers, especially after orchestrating a coup to take control of Forrester Creations. Despite their declarations of love, something had changed. Carter had begun to see Hope in a new light—not as a partner, but as someone consumed by power, making decisions with little regard for the consequences.

Daphne saw this shift in Carter and became a confidante for him. Unlike Hope, who dismissed Carter’s internal struggles, Daphne acknowledged his feelings, understanding the guilt he carried over the hostile takeover. Carter had lost his closest friends, his place in the Forrester family, and his sense of purpose. Daphne offered him solace, while Hope only seemed to dictate how he should feel.

Things took a dramatic turn when Carter suggested to Hope that they return the company. Hope, furious at the mere suggestion, refused to entertain the idea. The argument between them only highlighted their growing disconnect. Meanwhile, Carter and Daphne shared a brief yet telling kiss—one that Hope witnessed firsthand.

Hope wasted no time confronting Carter, hoping he would confess on his own. When he finally admitted to it, he attempted to shift the blame onto Daphne, despite kissing her back. This betrayal sent Hope into a rage, and she quickly sought out Daphne, hoping to drive her out of the company. Discovering that Daphne was planning to return to Paris, Hope saw an opportunity to remove her from Carter’s life for good.

But Carter had other ideas. As Hope demanded that he convince Daphne to leave, Carter did the unthinkable—he told Daphne to stay. They had just launched the new fragrance line, and it made no sense for her to leave now. Hope was blindsided by his decision, realizing that Carter was slipping further away from her grasp. Their public disagreement in front of Daphne only solidified the cracks in their relationship, leading Hope to storm out in frustration. Carter followed, but it was clear that things between them were far from being resolved.

Daphne, however, remained silent throughout their argument. But what is her next move? Will she actively pursue Carter, knowing he is at a breaking point with Hope? Or will she sit back and watch the drama unfold, knowing that Hope’s actions might be what ultimately pushes Carter away?

With Carter and Hope now at odds, the foundation of their relationship has never been shakier. Will Carter finally see Hope for who she truly is? Or will Hope find a way to manipulate the situation back in her favor? As tensions rise, all bets are off in this high-stakes game of power, love, and deception.
