The Bold and the Beautiful Recap: Carter’s Business Pitch, Daphne’s Support, and Brooke’s Suspicions
The Bold and the Beautiful delivered another eventful episode. From the runway to private confessions, the Forrester family and their loved ones faced new challenges in both business and romance.
Fashion and Family in the Showroom
The episode opened in the showroom, where Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Eric Forrester (John McCook) admired the latest collection. Models showcased sleek new designs, while Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) presented her unique perfume concepts — one for each fashion line. Ridge expressed his delight at the creativity on display.
Still, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) couldn’t help but notice Hope’s absence. Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) explained that Hope was with Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) and their daughter Beth Spencer (Jordyn Grace), hinting that he had a surprise planned for her.
Beth’s Dance Plans
At Brooke’s house, Liam and Hope spent time with Beth, who was excited about her upcoming daddy-daughter dance. Liam reminded Hope of the importance of their family bond, and Beth admitted she wished her parents would get back together. Although she liked Carter, she wasn’t ready to accept him as a stepdad.
When Carter texted Hope asking to meet, Liam questioned why their wedding plans hadn’t moved forward. Hope avoided the conversation, leaving Beth to practice her dance with her father.
Daphne and Carter Reconnect
Meanwhile, Carter shared a heartfelt conversation with Daphne. Daphne admitted she may have misjudged Hope and expressed happiness at seeing Carter thrive. Their reconnection suggested a possible new bond forming between them.
Back at the showroom, Ridge and Brooke enjoyed a romantic moment, celebrating their second chance at love. But when Hope arrived, Brooke immediately sensed something was troubling her daughter. Hope confessed that although she cared for Carter, she felt pressured by his desire to marry quickly. Brooke guessed that Hope’s heart might still belong to Liam, comparing their love to her own history with Ridge.
Carter’s Big Proposal
Later, Carter presented Ridge with a bold idea: reviving the Hope for the Future line. He argued that the brand still had value, pointing out the popularity of the HFTF hashtag. With Hope and Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) finally at peace, Carter believed the timing was perfect to relaunch the line and strengthen Forrester Creations.
The episode closed with questions swirling around Hope’s romantic future, Carter’s professional ambitions, and whether Brooke’s instincts about her daughter’s feelings for Liam were right.
