B&B SPOILERS: HOPE ADMITS SHE STILL LOVES LIAM SPENCER WHILE ENGAGED TO CARTER WALTON

TL;DR: Hope Logan confesses to her father Deacon Sharpe that she still has deep feelings for Liam Spencer after their recent kiss, despite being engaged to Carter Walton, while Deacon subtly reminds her of Carter’s past betrayals.

Hope Logan’s Heart-Wrenching Confession Rocks Los Angeles!

Oh. My. GOD.

The emotional bomb that Hope Logan just dropped on her father Deacon Sharpe has me absolutely reeling! After that earth-shattering kiss with Liam Spencer (you know, the one that left us all screaming at our screens?), Hope finally admitted what we’ve ALL been thinking — she’s still madly in love with her ex-husband!

And here’s the kicker: She’s ENGAGED to Carter Walton!

Talk about terrible timing…

What Did Hope Actually Tell Deacon About Her Liam Feelings?

Hope Logan confessed to Deacon that Liam’s emotional plea for their family and their passionate kiss have left her with deep, lingering feelings that she can’t shake, even though she’s wearing Carter’s engagement ring.

The raw honesty of this moment? Breathtaking. Hope didn’t just hint at having some residual feelings — she laid it ALL out there. The kiss. The memories. The way Liam looked at her when he begged for another chance at being a family with their daughter Beth Spencer.

She’s torn. Completely, utterly torn.

And honestly? After everything Hope and Liam have been through together (multiple weddings, their miracle baby Beth, surviving that whole baby-stealing nightmare), can you blame her for being conflicted?

Is Deacon Really Taking Liam’s Side Over Carter?

While Deacon hasn’t explicitly declared himself “Team Liam,” he’s definitely planting seeds of doubt about Carter by reminding Hope of his past betrayals — specifically the Daphne Rose disaster and the Forrester Creations takeover drama.

Let’s be real here — Deacon has NEVER been Carter’s biggest fan. Remember when he literally got physical with the guy after the takeover fell apart? The man holds a grudge!

And now he’s subtly working those daddy influence angles…

Deacon bringing up Daphne Rose? That’s a LOW blow! (Though kind of brilliant?) For those who need a refresher: Carter kissed Daphne when Steffy Forrester dangled her in front of him like relationship catnip. It broke Hope’s heart and led to their temporary split.

Then there’s the whole Forrester Creations takeover fiasco. Carter and Hope tried to steal the company, failed spectacularly, and Carter ended up giving it all back. The whole thing was a MESS.

Deacon’s not-so-subtle message? “Remember all the times this guy hurt you, sweetheart.”

Why Is Hope Still So Affected by That Kiss with Liam?

The kiss between Hope and Liam wasn’t just a kiss — it was a decade of history, passion, and unfinished business exploding in one moment that’s left Hope emotionally devastated and unable to move forward with Carter.

Here’s the thing about “Lope” (yes, I’m using the ship name and I’m not sorry!) — they’ve NEVER really gotten over each other. Sure, they’ve divorced. Multiple times. They’ve been with other people. But that connection? That pull?

It’s still there.

And that kiss proved it.

Liam’s recent fake cancer scare (thanks for nothing, Dr. Grace Buckingham!) gave him a new perspective on life. He wants his family back. He wants Hope. He wants to raise Beth together.

Can you imagine being Hope right now? The man you’ve loved since you were basically a teenager, the father of your child, just poured his heart out and kissed you like the world was ending.

How do you just… walk away from that?

What’s Next for Hope, Liam, and Carter?

Could this mean Hope calls off her engagement? Don’t be surprised if Carter’s desperation to elope (Friday’s spoilers, anyone?) pushes Hope to finally make a choice. Given Hope’s history of following her heart over logic, this likely leads to either a rushed elopement she’ll regret OR a dramatic wedding interruption courtesy of Liam!

The writing’s on the wall here, people. Carter’s pushing for an elopement because he KNOWS Hope’s slipping away. The man’s not stupid — he can feel her pulling back.

Meanwhile, Liam’s not giving up. That kiss gave him hope (pun absolutely intended), and we all know Liam when he’s determined. Mountains will be moved!

And let’s not forget — spoilers hint at a “very rude awakening” coming for Hope. She might lose EVERYTHING. Her job at Forrester (since Hope for the Future is already on life support), her engagement, maybe even her self-respect if she keeps ping-ponging between these men.

But here’s my wild theory: What if losing everything is exactly what Hope needs?

To finally stand on her own two feet?

Without Liam, without Carter, without her mother Brooke Logan hovering?

The Carter Problem Nobody’s Talking About

Here’s what kills me about this whole situation — Carter is actually a decent guy! Sure, he’s made mistakes (looking at you, Daphne Rose), but the man genuinely loves Hope.

The problem?

He’s nobody’s first choice. Ever.

Lawrence Saint-Victor (who plays Carter) even admitted his character’s biggest flaw is needing to be loved so desperately that he falls too fast and proposes too quick. Sound familiar? The man proposed to Hope while she’s CLEARLY still hung up on her ex!

That’s not love. That’s desperation.

And Hope staying with him out of obligation or fear of being alone? That’s even worse.

What This Means for the Forrester-Logan War

Let’s zoom out for a second and talk about the bigger picture. Hope’s love life isn’t just personal — it’s BUSINESS.

If Hope goes back to Liam, that keeps him away from Steffy. Ridge Forrester agreeing to be Carter’s best man? That might be strategic chess, not friendship. Keep the Logans from consolidating too much power at Forrester Creations.

And with Thomas Forrester returning in September?

This love triangle is about to become a square, and the professional fallout could be catastrophic. Hope for the Future needs Thomas to survive. But can Hope work with her ex while juggling Liam AND Carter?

This is a powder keg waiting to explode!

The Bottom Line: Hope Can’t Have Her Cake and Eat It Too

Hope needs to make a choice. NOW.

Stringing Carter along while pining for Liam isn’t just cruel — it’s beneath her. This isn’t the Hope who stood up to Thomas. This isn’t the Hope who survived losing her baby. This is a woman paralyzed by indecision, and it’s painful to watch.

My prediction? This all comes to a head by Friday. Carter’s elopement plan will force Hope’s hand. She’ll either run away with him (and regret it immediately) or finally admit she wants Liam.

Either way, someone’s heart is getting shattered.

And knowing this show? Probably all three of them.
