Carter just can’t catch a break when it comes to love on Bold and the Beautiful. From Quinn to Zoe, Katie to Paris, and now Hope, his heart has been tossed around like a Forrester fashion sketch in the middle of a storm. The man doesn’t just fall in love. He dives in headfirst, heart wide open, and seemingly no parachute in sight.
The Slow-Burn Breakdown Begins
Now that his whirlwind romance with Hope (Annika Noelle) has ended in a flaming mess, the question on everyone’s mind is: can Carter walk away with dignity, or is he about to spiral into “obsessed ex” territory? He’s never been a dark and dangerous ex before, but after being hurt over and over again, will his usual sweet demeanor take a turn no one will see coming?
Let’s not sugarcoat it – Hope is done. Like, “change the locks and delete the number” done. Her patience has run out, and Carter’s dreamy eyes and passionate pleas aren’t softening her stance. But here’s where things get messy. Carter isn’t taking the hint. In fact, he’s doubling down.

His lingering feelings and his determination to get her back has us on the edge of our seats. Will see soon see him trying to stage “accidental” run-ins. Maybe also sending some hopeful texts. Maybe he shows up to peek through the windows just to get a glance at his crush. Or, maybe he makes sure Hope never gets a chance to move on by keeping her away from the competition.
He Loves Hard, But Can He Let Go?
Will he soon display some serious soap opera stalker vibes? It’s not in his nature…that we know of…but we’d love to see Carter heading down a dangerous road.
There’s no denying Carter has good intentions. He’s loyal to a fault, deeply romantic, and truly believes in forever love. But when does devotion cross the line into desperation? Carter’s track record says he struggles to let go, and Hope’s cold shoulder might be just the thing to send him over the edge.
What’s Next for Carter?
Will we see a Carter who respects Hope’s wishes and moves on gracefully? Or is the stage being set for something far more dramatic? Maybe an uninvited visit. A sudden workplace appearance. A little “just wanted to check in” energy that turns into “I can’t live without you” chaos.

It wouldn’t be the first time a broken heart turned someone into a B&B wildcard. And with Carter’s emotional history, it’s not that far-fetched. Stay tuned. If Carter can’t let go, things could go from sad to scary really fast.
