After a brief hiatus due to March Madness coverage, The Bold and the Beautiful is back on Monday, March 24, with high-stakes drama. Carter Walton finds himself caught between loyalty and ambition as Hope Logan pressures him to take a stand, while Steffy Forrester and Daphne Rose scramble to keep a dangerous secret buried.
Carter Walton is at a crossroads after Steffy Forrester abruptly shuts down the deal he struck with Ridge and Eric to keep Hope for the Future alive. With her fashion line once again on the chopping block, Hope expects Carter to stand with her—and leave Forrester Creations in protest.
However, Carter hesitates. While he deeply values his relationship with Hope, he’s also worked hard to regain the trust of Ridge, Eric, and Steffy after past betrayals. Walking away now could undo everything he’s built.
Hope, on the other hand, sees his reluctance as a betrayal. If Carter refuses to leave with her, she may feel abandoned—forcing her to move forward on her own. Could this be the end of their partnership, both professionally and personally?
Meanwhile, Daphne Rose meets with Steffy in secret, panicked that their carefully orchestrated plan will be exposed. Initially part of Steffy’s scheme, Daphne never expected to develop real feelings for Carter. Now, she fears the worst if he ever learns the truth.
Steffy reassures Daphne that their secret is safe, but in The Bold and the Beautiful, the past always has a way of resurfacing. If Carter finds out he’s been manipulated, the fallout could shatter relationships and destroy trust in ways no one sees coming.
With Hope feeling betrayed, Carter torn between love and loyalty, and Steffy desperately trying to cover her tracks, tensions at Forrester Creations are at an all-time high. Will Carter choose to side with Hope, or will his ties to the Forrester family keep him in their corner? And when the truth about Daphne’s deception inevitably comes to light, will Carter be able to forgive?
Stay tuned—things are about to get very messy in Los Angeles!
