In a heartbreaking act of maturity, Carter ended their relationship, telling Hope to “go where her heart truly belongs.” It was a selfless move that left him alone once again — and opened a new chapter for a familiar face from his past.
Daphne Rose Returns — and Fans Take Notice
Enter Daphne Rose (Samantha Bailey), the fiery singer who was first introduced in a short-term storyline meant to complicate Carter’s life. What began as a scheme soon evolved into something real — Daphne genuinely fell for the Forrester attorney.
After being rejected when Carter chose Hope, Daphne disappeared from Los Angeles. But now, she’s back. The two recently shared a quiet, heartfelt moment at Il Giardino, where Daphne performed a soulful number that caught Carter’s attention. The scene ended with Carter confiding in her about his breakup, and Daphne offering the comfort he didn’t know he needed.
“Patience Does Have Its Rewards” — Viewers React
Fans were quick to pick up on the spark. In a viral Facebook post, viewer Calleigh Rollins wrote,
“Now that she has been stupid enough to lose Carter, it looks like Daphne may finally get what she wants after all. Thanks to Brooke Junior’s stupidity, patience does have its rewards. If she plays her cards right, she may end up becoming Mrs. Carter just in time for Christmas.”
The comment section lit up with fans agreeing that Hope had blown her chance, and that Daphne might be the right woman to heal Carter’s heart. Others added that they were ready for Carter to finally find a lasting love after years of heartbreak — from Quinn, Paris, Katie, and now Hope.
The Next Great Romance for Carter?
With Hope drifting back into Liam’s orbit, Daphne’s return couldn’t have been timed better. She knows Carter’s pain, understands his loyalty, and has already proven that her feelings run deep.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers tease that the writers may be building toward a Carter and Daphne reunion, giving one of the show’s most unlucky lovers the happiness he’s long deserved.
But this is B&B — and love stories here rarely come easy. Will Daphne truly win Carter’s heart this time, or will history repeat itself once Hope inevitably finds her way back to him?
Final Thoughts
As one fan aptly put it, “Patience does have its rewards.” For Daphne Rose, that reward might just be the love story she’s waited for — and for Carter Walton, maybe this time, it’s finally forever.
