Daphne Rose’s return to The Bold and the Beautiful this week has certainly got fans talking, but it’s been a slow burn since she came back to Los Angeles. Initially hesitant to return to Forrester Creations, Daphne finally arrived—mostly to support her best friend, Steffy, whose perfume launch was a success after the fashion show. But as much as she loves working with the team, there’s one major complication: Carter Walton.

Daphne’s Return to Forrester Creations

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was eager to have Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) by her side, especially after everything Steffy has been through. Despite Daphne’s reluctance—largely because of her unresolved feelings for Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor)—she couldn’t resist coming back to Los Angeles. But the moment she arrived, the tension with Carter was palpable, as they quickly picked up where they left off.

Carter and Daphne’s Rekindled Chemistry

It didn’t take long for Carter to flirt with Daphne, drawn to her signature scent. This reignited the undeniable chemistry between them, and fans are left wondering: What does this mean for Carter’s relationship with Hope (Annika Noelle)? Although Carter and Hope are newly engaged, their relationship seems destined for a shakeup. With Hope spending more time with Liam (Scott Clifton) and recent events unfolding around his false diagnosis, it’s clear that Hope and Carter’s future is uncertain.

What’s Next for Daphne and Carter?

The lingering question: Could Daphne be pregnant with Carter’s child? While they never officially shared a bed, Daphne did stay at Carter’s loft for a while, and the tension between them was undeniable. With Hope and Liam’s relationship facing challenges, could this lead to a major shift? Plus, with Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) set to return in September, the stakes are even higher.

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how this love square unfolds and what secrets Daphne might be hiding.
