In Monday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Brooke meets Deacon at Il Giardino and discusses Hope’s recent progress. Despite setbacks with the fashion line, Hope’s fortunes may be improving now that Carter is backing her efforts at Forrester Creations.
Brooke is optimistic about Hope’s future and seems to view Carter as a key factor in this turnaround. Meanwhile, at Forrester Creations, Steffy voices her concerns to Ridge, questioning Carter’s decisions regarding the struggling Hope for the Future line. Steffy suspects Carter’s judgment has been clouded by his personal feelings, which might explain his strong support for Hope’s project. Ridge and Steffy are left wondering why Carter is suddenly so invested in the brand’s success.
At Carter’s place, the tension between him and Hope continues to build. Carter makes his feelings for her known, expressing a deep desire to move beyond friendship. Hope, while hesitant, struggles to resist the temptation.
