The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Carter’s Long History of Betrayals Continues as Daphne Becomes His Latest Temptation

Carter Walton’s reputation for integrity has always been more fiction than fact. His history of betrayals proves he’s never been the honorable man fans thought – and Daphne’s seduction is just the latest test he’s already failing.

For years, Carter Walton has been portrayed as Forrester Creations’ moral compass – the principled attorney everyone could trust. But a closer look at his history reveals that this image is nothing but a carefully constructed facade. From sleeping with his mentor’s wife to orchestrating a hostile takeover against the family that treated him like a brother, Carter’s actions tell a far different story than his reputation suggests.

THE QUINN AFFAIR: WHERE CARTER’S INTEGRITY FIRST CRUMBLED

The cracks in Carter’s honorable image first became glaringly obvious in 2021 when he began an affair with Quinn Fuller while she was still married to Eric Forrester – the man who had taken Carter under his wing and treated him like family. This wasn’t just a momentary lapse but a calculated betrayal of someone who had shown him nothing but trust and loyalty. The affair was eventually exposed, leading to significant fallout, but Carter somehow managed to maintain his professional standing while his personal reputation should have been in tatters.

A PATTERN OF ROMANTIC BETRAYALS

Carter’s questionable choices didn’t stop with Quinn. His romantic history reads like a case study in inconsistency and opportunism. After becoming engaged to Zoe Buckingham, their relationship fell apart due to his affair with Quinn. But instead of taking time for self-reflection, Carter moved on to Zoe’s sister, Paris Buckingham, creating further turmoil. Later, he pursued Katie Logan, only to abandon that relationship as well. Each transition showed a man with little regard for emotional consequences – hardly the behavior of someone with integrity.

THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL: STEALING FORRESTER CREATIONS

The most damning evidence against Carter’s integrity came in late 2024, when he orchestrated a hostile takeover of Forrester Creations alongside Hope Logan. Using his legal expertise and trusted position, Carter signed LLC documents that gave him control of the company – effectively stealing it from the very family that had made him who he was. This wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision but a calculated act of betrayal against Ridge Forrester, whom he once called “brother.”

DAPHNE ROSE: JUST THE LATEST TEMPTATION

Now, as Carter claims commitment to Hope, he’s already falling for Daphne Rose’s seduction. Introduced in January 2025, Daphne is working with Steffy Forrester to tempt Carter away from Hope in an effort to loosen their grip on the company. The fact that Carter is responding to Daphne’s advances while supposedly devoted to Hope isn’t surprising – it’s just the latest chapter in his long history of prioritizing his desires over loyalty.

WHY THE “MR. INTEGRITY” IMAGE PERSISTS

Despite all evidence to the contrary, some still cling to the idea that Carter has integrity. This perception likely stems from his professional demeanor and the contrast between his work ethic and personal choices. As COO and legal counsel, Carter appears competent and trustworthy, leading some to separate his professional persona from his personal actions. But real integrity doesn’t work that way – it’s consistent across all aspects of life.

THE VERDICT ON CARTER’S CHARACTER

When examining Carter’s full history at Forrester Creations, from his affair with Quinn to his company takeover and now his wandering eye toward Daphne, the evidence overwhelmingly suggests a man without the integrity he’s credited with. His pattern of betrayals, both personal and professional, reveals someone who prioritizes his own interests over loyalty and honesty – regardless of who gets hurt in the process.

As Daphne’s seduction plan continues to work its magic, Carter will once again prove that his reputation for integrity has always been his biggest deception. The only question remaining is how much damage he’ll cause before everyone finally sees the truth.
