HOPE BRUTALLY DUMPS CARTER AFTER CHOOSING FORRESTER OVER HER

Hope Logan has finally reached her breaking point with Carter Walton after he made the devastating choice to remain at Forrester Creations rather than stand by her side! In a moment that left fans gasping, Carter chose his career over love, and Hope made it crystal clear she was DONE with him.

The drama unfolded after Steffy Forrester dropped the ax on Hope For The Future and fired Hope in a power move that shocked everyone. When Hope asked Carter to leave with her in solidarity, he hesitated—looking from her to the Forresters and back again—before making the choice that would cost him everything.

CARTER’S DEVASTATING CHOICE LEAVES HOPE HEARTBROKEN

Carter tried to explain that Forrester was his livelihood and family, but those words fell on deaf ears as Hope walked out. What did he expect? That she’d smile and accept him choosing the people who just crushed her dreams?

But that wasn’t the end of it! Carter chased Hope to her cabin, desperately trying to salvage what they had. He insisted he hadn’t abandoned her and could advocate for her from inside the company. (Yeah, right!) He even had the audacity to claim their love didn’t disappear just because her line was cancelled.

Hope wasn’t buying any of it. In a moment of raw emotion, she delivered the most devastating breakup ever, telling Carter she could only see him as “another disappointment of a man” who doesn’t have what it takes to be with her.

The final blow? Hope ordered him to forget anything ever happened between them and to return to his “chosen family.” OUCH!

DAPHNE’S TRUE FEELINGS FOR CARTER REVEALED

Meanwhile, Daphne Rose confided in Zende Forrester that she wasn’t surprised by Carter’s actions. In fact, she believes Carter deserves better than Hope! Could this be a hint that Daphne is positioning herself to pick up the pieces of Carter’s broken heart?

“Carter is a good man and leader,” Daphne told Zende, revealing that her connection to the handsome COO isn’t just for show. She admitted her surprise at her own emotions, which is why she originally wanted to return to Paris. Is anyone else sensing a potential new romance brewing here?

Daphne made it clear that Carter returning the company to the Forresters only proved what kind of man he truly is—one with integrity and goodness. It’s obvious she thinks highly of him… perhaps too highly for just a business associate?

BROOKE MAKES HER MOVE ON RIDGE

While Hope was ending things with Carter, Brooke Logan was making her own bold play! After asking to speak with Ridge Forrester alone, Brooke admitted she missed him terribly and wanted to put their troubles behind them.

In a moment of pure soap drama, Brooke pushed her face against Ridge’s and kissed him, begging him to come home so she could be his “Logan” again! Talk about not wasting any time!

Brooke didn’t hold back, telling Ridge she sees his face every night before sleep and that she’s hurt he turned to Taylor Hayes so quickly. She even reminded him that she only took the CEO position to help bring him back to the company. Will Ridge be swayed by her emotional plea?

CARTER REFUSES TO ACCEPT IT’S OVER

Despite Hope’s crystal-clear message that they’re done, Carter isn’t giving up. In the final moments of their confrontation, he insisted she was just hurting and refused to let her push him away.

“I won’t let this be the end of us,” Carter declared, showing a determination we rarely see from him. But is he fighting a losing battle? Hope couldn’t have been clearer about her feelings, and pushing past her boundaries might only make things worse.

Can Carter find a way back into Hope’s heart, or has he permanently destroyed any chance they had? And with Daphne waiting in the wings, will he even want to keep trying?

WILL AND ELECTRA WEIGH IN ON THE COMPANY DRAMA

Amid all the relationship chaos, Will Spencer and Electra Forrester discussed the dramatic company shake-up. Electra confessed that while she hated the takeover, she has nothing against Hope and Carter, who were nice to her.

“It would be kill if everyone could work together,” Electra said, though she doubted it was possible. This young Forrester seems to be one of the few people not taking sides in this bitter family feud.

Will the Forresters find a way to heal from this corporate battle, or has the damage been done? One thing’s for certain—with Hope and Carter on the outs and Brooke making moves on Ridge, the drama is just getting started!
