Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers can expect an escalation in tension as Daphne Rose’s unsettling obsession with Carter Walton threatens to take a dangerous turn. According to upcoming teasers, Daphne’s behavior grows more erratic as she intensifies her mission to sabotage Carter’s budding relationship with Hope Logan. Despite being originally sent by Steffy Forrester to disrupt Carter and Hope’s bond, Daphne now acts independently and with personal motives. Her increasingly manipulative tactics suggest that she may go to extreme lengths to keep Carter for herself—even if it means risking Hope’s safety.

Meanwhile, Hope Logan finds herself caught at a critical crossroads. As she continues to cope with Liam Spencer’s secret battle with a terminal brain tumor, emotional support from Carter Walton draws her closer to considering a future with him. Carter, steadfast and emotionally available, offers Hope not only stability but a genuine chance at a relationship rooted in mutual respect—unlike her chaotic past with Thomas and Liam.
