Hope’s love life just got a serious twist on The Bold and the Beautiful, and fans are buzzing. Carter popped the question…and while jaws hit the floor, it’s not exactly out of nowhere. Carter has always been the dependable, loyal type who moves at lightening speed. He loves love and refuses to miss out on the opportunity to make a girlfriend his bride (even thought it’s never really worked out.)
Why Saying “Yes” Makes Sense
Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) track record may be a bit rocky, but it’s never been because he’s unkind. He’s the guy who’s been burned more than once, yet still leads with his heart. If Hope (Annika Noelle) is looking for a man who will stand by her through all the Forresters, Logans, and fashion house drama, Carter is the one.
He also brings something very underrated to the table—emotional maturity. He’s not playing games, he’s not stringing multiple women along, and he doesn’t carry the same baggage Hope’s exes do. He’s a man with a solid career, a good heart, and a true sense of community. If she’s ready to move on, this is a chance to start fresh with someone who genuinely adores her.

Plus, he’s the kind of man who brings flowers and remembers your kid’s science fair. Saying yes would mean choosing stability, kindness, and a partner who genuinely loves both Hope and her daughter.
But Then There’s Thomas…
Just when Hope’s life seems to be getting back on track, there’s a shadow looming – and his name is Thomas. Carter may be Mr. Right, but is he Mr. Right Now?
It’s no secret that Hope and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) had intense chemistry. Their connection, as twisted as it sometimes got, was fueled by real emotion and a shared history. And if there’s any chance Thomas comes back ready to commit, will Hope feel trapped in a marriage that was more about moving on than falling in love?
Carter may be a safe choice, but Thomas is the man who made her question everything. If her heart still beats a little faster when she hears his name, saying yes to Carter might not be fair to him…or to herself.
