BABY FEVER TURNS DEADLY SERIOUS! B&B’s Daphne Rose Is About To Become The Scariest Mom-To-Be In L.A.

DAPHNE ROSE WILL CHOOSE THE BABY OVER HER BEST FRIEND

TL;DR: B&B’s Daphne Rose is so deep in baby fever she’s shopping for a child someone else is carrying. When she learns whose baby it really is, she could skip the tears and fight to keep it.

Baby Fever Doesn’t Break, It Mutates

Daphne Rose isn’t planning a baby anymore. She’s already living in one. She’s told her OB she’s ready, she’s swanning around Forrester with a bag full of tiny baby clothes, and she swears she’s already feeling the glow of a pregnancy happening inside someone else’s body. That’s not excitement. That’s a woman who has mentally moved into the nursery and locked the door behind her.

Listen to how she talks about it, too. She called Carter Walton and Steffy Forrester creating her child “the next best thing” to making a baby with her own husband. She told Steffy she’d trust her with her life and her child. She says her best friend feels like a sister and this makes them family for real. She has pinned every last hope on this baby, and a mom-to-be that desperate never forgives a betrayal. She doesn’t get mad and move on. She gets mad and gets organized.

Daphne Rose has already survived the diagnosis that told her she couldn’t give Carter a child. She’s not about to survive losing this one too.

The Proudest Mama-To-Be In L.A.

Daphne is about to gush to Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan about the “remarkable” woman carrying her baby, without a clue that the woman is Ridge’s own daughter or that the baby was conceived the old-fashioned way. She’ll be bragging to the whole building. And the more people she tells, the more humiliating it gets when the bottom falls out.

The cruelest twist? Daphne herself admitted she once panicked and walked out on the most devoted husband in the world, and that one night could have changed everything. She has no idea how right she is. While she was busy running from her marriage, the two people she trusts most were busy wrecking it. The day she connects those dots, all that sweetness is going to sour into something much, much darker.

When She Finds Out, She Doesn’t Walk

Everyone assumes the truth sends Daphne running, sobbing, divorce papers in hand. Wrong. Picture her standing perfectly still in the cliff house doorway while the whole ugly story spills out. Her husband cheated. Her best friend lied to her face while accepting her tearful thank-yous. And the baby she’s been shopping for is still growing, still Carter’s and still the only chance she has at being a mother.

So Daphne Rose makes a choice that would make any soap villain proud. She keeps the deal. Carter offered Steffy a “paper trail” to make the surrogacy look legit, and paper trails cut both ways. If Steffy signed anything, Daphne has it in writing that the baby was always meant for her. And if Steffy balks? Daphne knows exactly who’d be dying to hear the real timeline: Steffy’s own husband.

Steffy already told Carter she couldn’t grow a baby, fall in love with it and hand it over. She’s already had to give one child back once. Now imagine having to do it for the woman you betrayed, with Finn as the price if you refuse.

Which storyline has you glued to the screen right now? Drop it in the comments below, we’re dying to talk about this!

Never Stand Between A Woman And Her Nursery

Steffy thinks the worst-case scenario is Daphne finding out and hating her forever. She should be so lucky. Hate would mean Daphne walks away. A woman who’s already lost her marriage, her best friend and her dignity has nothing left to protect except the baby she’s already dressing in her head. Daphne Rose with nothing left to lose might turn out to be the scariest mom-to-be in L.A.
