Could Bold and the Beautiful be setting the stage for a jaw-dropping twist that no one saw coming? Fans have been buzzing ever since Hope and Carter shared that steamy yet brief love affair that was unexpected and full of potential. As fast as it started everything came crashing down after the coup and yet one wild-card theory has emerged: What if Hope is pregnant with Carter’s baby?
Love, Lies, and a Baby Bump?
That possibility would turn everything upside down in classic soapy fashion. Not only would it create instant drama for Hope (Annika Noelle), who is now laser focused on a dying Liam (Scott Clifton), but it would also shake up Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) life in a big way. He’s been pining for years for a child and a wife and a surprise pregnancy would bring him one step closer to living out that dream.
Rebounds, Regrets, and Real Consequences
Hope has always followed her heart, even when it led her into chaos. After Thomas, a moment of vulnerability with Carter felt like a detour, but maybe it was destiny. If she is carrying Carter’s child, the ripple effect would be massive. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) would absolutely have opinions, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) would be blindsided, Liam would have a whole bag of mixed feelings, and Thomas? Let’s just say that man’s reaction could so explosive it may very well bring him back to town.

As for Carter, this would be his biggest storyline in ages. From officiating weddings to getting left behind by Quinn (Rena Sofer), he’s overdue for a major shakeup. A baby with Hope might be the unexpected anchor he never saw coming. It could also create a whole new family dynamic if the two decide to try again – not as a fling, but as co-parents, and maybe something more.
Oh, Baby!
Is this storyline just a fantasy? Maybe. But when has anything in Los Angeles ever been predictable? If the show is looking to spice things up for summer, a Hope and Carter baby bombshell could be the twist that turns everything on its head.
