B&B Spoilers: Fans Convinced Daphne Is Pregnant as Hope and Carter’s Engagement Falls Apart

B&B SPOILERS: FANS CONVINCED DAPHNE IS PREGNANT AS HOPE AND CARTER’S ENGAGEMENT FALLS APART

Eagle-eyed Bold and Beautiful viewers have been connecting the dots for weeks now, and they’re absolutely convinced that Hope Logan and Carter Walton’s engagement is heading for disaster. The reason? Daphne Rose might be carrying Carter’s baby!

Let’s talk about that three-week vanishing act after the proposal. Since when do happy couples disappear for nearly a month after getting engaged? Fans on social media have been buzzing about how neither Hope nor Carter looks remotely happy about their upcoming nuptials. In fact, viewers are comparing their lukewarm enthusiasm to how Thomas Forrester feels about Paris Buckingham — which is to say, not much at all!

THE CLUES FANS CAN’T IGNORE

The evidence has been piling up, and sharp-eyed viewers have caught every single guilty look and uncomfortable moment. Remember when Carter misheard Hope’s conversation with Liam Spencer back in mid-May? He went running off, and fans are convinced that’s when everything went sideways.

Then there’s the alcohol. The guilty expressions. That awkward hug between Carter and Daphne where he looked like he’d swallowed a frog. Hope might have missed it, but the audience sure didn’t! And let’s not forget Deacon Sharpe’s cryptic warning about promises made. If that wasn’t foreshadowing, what was?

THE BABY BOMBSHELL WAITING TO DROP

Here’s where it gets really interesting. Carter keeps talking about wanting children, but Hope already has two kids with two different fathers — Beth with Liam and Douglas (through adoption) with Thomas. She’s made it pretty clear she’s not looking to add to that collection.

Fans are speculating that Carter and Daphne had a drunken encounter the night before he reconciled with Hope. The timeline fits perfectly with those guilty looks he’s been sporting ever since. And really, why else would Daphne agree to leave Paris and return to Los Angeles? If nothing happened, she’d stay in France living her best life!

HOPE’S PERFECT ESCAPE ROUTE

Viewers believe Daphne’s pregnancy will give Hope exactly what she needs — an excuse to call off this engagement without looking like the bad guy. She can push Carter toward Daphne and the baby, maintaining her image while escaping a relationship she clearly doesn’t want.

One fan on X pointed out, “Hope loves Carter the same way Thomas loves Paris — as a friend at best!” The parallel between these two fake engagements isn’t lost on anyone watching.

WHAT ABOUT THOMAS?

Speaking of Thomas, fans are holding out hope (pun intended) that he’ll return to Los Angeles without Paris. Hope’s life has been in a downward spiral ever since Thomas and Douglas left town. There’s definitely unfinished business there, and viewers are convinced that once Hope is free from her engagement to Carter, the door will be wide open for a Thomas comeback.

The prospect of Hope going back to Liam — even if he survives his health crisis — has fans unanimously saying “NO!” As one viewer put it, “If Liam lives, they desperately need to cast a new love interest for him. Hope and Liam are DONE.”

CARTER AND DAPHNE’S FUTURE?

While this potential pregnancy might destroy Hope and Carter’s engagement, it could be the beginning of something real for Carter and Daphne. He’s already admitted to having feelings for her, and if she’s carrying his child, this could give Carter his first baby and potentially his first real wedding.

Fans see major potential in a Carter/Daphne pairing. Unlike the forced chemistry with Hope, there’s actual spark there. Plus, Daphne could give Carter what he really wants — a family of his own.

THE SPECULATION CONTINUES

Social media is on fire with theories about how this will all play out. Some fans think Daphne will make her pregnancy announcement at the worst possible moment — maybe even at Hope and Carter’s wedding! Others believe Hope will find out privately and use it as her get-out-of-jail-free card.

The three-week disappearance after the engagement has viewers particularly intrigued. What were Hope and Carter doing during that time? Working through their issues, or avoiding the inevitable conversation about their lack of real feelings for each other?

With Steffy Forrester pushing to bring Daphne back to Forrester Creations, the stage is set for maximum drama. Will Daphne return with a baby bump? Will Carter’s guilty conscience finally get the better of him? And will Hope finally be free to explore what she really wants — which might just be Thomas?

One thing’s for sure: B&B fans are watching every scene with a magnifying glass, waiting for the pregnancy bombshell to drop!
