B&B Shocker: Is Daphne Pregnant with Carter’s Baby After Their Secret Night Together?

FANS ARE CONVINCED DAPHNE WILL RETURN PREGNANT

The Wild Theory That Has B&B Viewers Buzzing

Okay, I have to share what’s been blowing up my timeline all week. Fans are CONVINCED that Daphne Rose is coming back to Los Angeles with a baby bump, and honestly? The more I think about it, the more sense it makes!

The Theory That Started It All

So here’s what has everyone talking. Remember that emotional night when Carter Walton overheard Hope Logan telling Liam Spencer she wanted a future with him? (May 15-16, 2025 episodes for those keeping track.) Carter was devastated, right? And who was there to comfort him?

Daphne.

She went to his loft. They had a deep conversation. She told him, “I’m here for you, now and always.” And then… the cameras conveniently faded to black.

Now, fans are running WILD with theories about what happened after that fade-out!

Why Fans Think They Hooked Up

Look, the show didn’t actually show us anything physical happening between Carter and Daphne. But come on—this is a soap opera! When has a fade-to-black during an emotionally charged moment ever meant they just played Scrabble?

One fan on X put it perfectly: “They absolutely had sex in an unshown scene.” And honestly? Given how vulnerable Carter was, how supportive Daphne was being… I mean, stranger things have happened on this show!

The speculation got even MORE intense after that May 23rd episode. You know, the one where Daphne said goodbye to Carter and warned him about Hope hurting him again? Normal goodbye, right?

Wrong!

That Airplane Scene Though…

This is where the theory really takes off (pun intended). After Daphne left for France, we got this random scene of her on the airplane. Just sitting there. Thinking. The camera lingering on her face as she stared out the window.

Why show us that? WHY?

Fans are saying it’s obvious foreshadowing. One viewer tweeted: “There was no reason to show us The Nose on the airplane thinking about Carter, the goodbye to Steffy in the office would have been sufficient.”

And they’ve got a point! Since when does B&B waste precious airtime on someone staring out an airplane window unless it MEANS something?

The Baby Clues Keep Coming

Here’s what’s really fueling this theory—Carter won’t shut up about wanting a family! The man has mentioned it multiple times in recent episodes. He’s talked about wanting children, being ready to be a father, wanting to build something real.

Coincidence? Fans think NOT!

One passionate viewer posted: “All these promises about being together and committed, just really means Daphne will be back! Probably pregnant or something cause they are really pushing commitment between these two!”

The Wedding Bombshell Theory

This is where it gets REALLY juicy. Several fans are predicting that Daphne will make her grand return at the worst possible moment—Carter and Hope‘s wedding!

Can you imagine? Hope in her wedding dress, about to say “I do,” when suddenly the doors burst open and there’s Daphne with a very visible baby bump?

One fan even mapped it out: “Daphne will be returning, along with a baby bump, on Carter and Hope‘s wedding day for a wedding bombshell.”

I mean… this show LOVES a good wedding interruption!

Why This Theory Actually Makes Sense

Okay, putting on my soap detective hat for a minute. Here’s why fans might be onto something:

1. The Timing – Carter was emotionally wrecked when he thought Hope chose Liam
2. The Chemistry – Let’s be real, Carter and Daphne had sparks
3. The Fade-Out – Classic soap move when something steamy happens off-screen
4. The Airplane Scene – Seriously, why else show this?
5. Carter’s Baby Talk – The man’s practically begging the universe for a kid

Plus, this is EXACTLY the kind of drama B&B loves. Hope finally gets her man, thinks everything’s perfect, and then BAM—pregnancy curveball!

The Skeptics Weigh In

Now, not everyone’s buying this theory. Some fans think we’re reading too much into it. “Maybe she was just thinking about what could have been,” one viewer suggested.

Others point out that Daphne was brought in specifically to break up Carter and Hope, and when that didn’t work, she left. End of story.

But where’s the fun in that?!

What This Would Mean for Hope

If this theory pans out (and that’s a big IF), can we talk about how brutal this would be for Hope? The poor woman already had to share Liam with Steffy because of kids. Now she might face the same situation with Carter?

The parallels would be absolutely devastating. And knowing this show’s writers, they would milk every ounce of that drama!

My Take on the Theory

Look, I’ve been watching soaps long enough to know that no theory is too wild. We’ve seen people come back from the dead, evil twins, baby swaps—you name it. A secret pregnancy from an off-screen encounter? That’s practically soap opera 101!

The fact that fans are THIS invested in the theory tells me the show did something right. They’ve got us analyzing every scene, every look, every random airplane shot.

Will Daphne actually return pregnant? Who knows! But the fact that so many fans are convinced it’s happening means the writers planted those seeds perfectly.

What Do You Think?

I’m dying to know—are you Team Pregnancy Theory or Team It’s Just Fan Fiction?

Personally, I’m stocking up on popcorn because IF this happens, the drama is going to be EPIC. Can you imagine Carter‘s face? Hope‘s reaction? Steffy probably smirking in the background because her plan finally worked?

The beauty of soap theories is that even when we’re wrong, we’re entertained. And even when we’re right, the show usually finds a way to surprise us anyway!

So keep those theories coming, B&B fans. Whether Daphne returns with a baby or not, you’ve made watching these episodes even more fun with your wild speculation.

And writers, if you’re reading this… we’re onto you!
