“I’M SORRY” – Hope Cries and Runs Away on Her Wedding Day with Carter | Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers

In a shocking twist on The Bold and the Beautiful, what was supposed to be the happiest day of Carter and Hope’s lives turns into an emotional disaster that rocks the Forrester family to its core. The story leading up to the wedding was already laced with tension, but no one saw the final heartbreak coming — least of all Carter.

It all began with a surprise proposal. Hope and Carter had only recently begun to rekindle what they once had. The wounds of their past were still fresh, especially for Carter, who had endured rejection from Hope before. As for Hope, she remained deeply shaken by Liam’s declining health and the emotional toll it had taken on both of them. So when Carter set up a candlelit evening and poured out his heart, it completely blindsided her.

Carter, ever the romantic, dropped to one knee with a ring in hand and sincere love in his eyes. Hope, caught in the rush of the moment, heard Liam’s voice in her mind urging her to find happiness. And so, before she could second-guess herself, she said yes.

The news of their engagement exploded across Forrester Creations the next morning. Brooke was thrilled, her eyes sparkling with maternal pride, and even Ridge gave his rare stamp of approval. From the outside, it looked like a love story that had finally found its moment. But Hope’s inner turmoil painted a different picture.

Every smile she gave seemed slightly forced. Her thoughts kept drifting back to Liam — to his weakened voice, his emotional goodbyes, and that powerful moment when he entrusted Finn with the future of his daughters. Liam was letting go, but Hope realized she hadn’t. Not fully. Not emotionally. She kept trying to convince herself: This is what Liam wants. He wants me to move on. He wants me to be happy. But it wasn’t enough to quiet her heart.

Meanwhile, Carter was glowing with anticipation. Speaking to Ridge, he gushed about finally seeing a future filled with love and family. For a man who had spent so long on the outside of other people’s stories, this was his shot at a happy ending. He believed in them — believed in her. But as the wedding day neared, Hope became more withdrawn. She lingered over old photos. She stared at herself in the mirror and whispered, “I don’t love him. Not the way he deserves.”

Then came the big day.

The guests were seated. Carter stood at the altar, nervous but overjoyed, the image of a groom ready to begin forever. But in the bridal suite, Hope sat still, alone, bouquet quivering in her hands. Her veil lay across her lap, and her reflection stared back at her with eyes full of conflict. In a breaking voice, she whispered, “I’m sorry, Liam, but I can’t do this just because you said I should.”

In a rush of emotion, Hope stood, tore off her veil, and bolted out the door.

Down the hallway she ran, past stunned staff and guests who had no idea what was happening. Her heart pounded louder than her footsteps. She wasn’t running toward anyone — she was just running away. Away from guilt. From pressure. From making yet another decision that didn’t feel right.

Back at the altar, Carter stood tall, still smiling, still waiting for the ceremony to begin. But then Brooke approached him, her face pale and stricken. In a soft, tremulous voice, she said, “She’s gone.”

The room fell into stunned silence.

Carter’s smile faded. His breath caught. He stumbled back a step and muttered, “No… not again. Why does this keep happening to me?” The hope and excitement in his eyes drained away, leaving behind heartbreak and disbelief.

Now, the question looms: Will Hope return to face Carter and explain her decision? Or has she truly walked away for good? And what happens when Liam learns what really transpired — that the woman he told to move on still holds him tightly in her heart?

Was this a moment of clarity for Hope — a realization that she’s not ready to let go of Liam? Or was it fear? Guilt? Perhaps she didn’t run because she doesn’t care about Carter… but because she cares too much about doing what’s right, and couldn’t fake something her heart wasn’t ready for.

With Carter left humiliated and devastated, and Hope torn between two men who represent vastly different futures, the fallout is only beginning. The next chapter will bring reckonings, painful truths, and long-awaited confrontations.

Because Hope may have run — but what she left behind won’t disappear. Not for her. Not for Carter. And certainly not for Liam.
