Key Takeaways

How Monaco is going for Forrester.
The state of Daphne and Carter’s marriage.

What Happened Previously on B&B?

The Monaco trip was supposed to be a recalibration for Forrester Creations. However, it hasn’t turned out quite as Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) had hoped. The international market is abuzz with Logan’s launch of Hope’s line. All of FC’s buyers are talking about it.

To the industry, this is a David and Goliath story. They’re waiting to see how the success shakes out for both fashion houses. However, sales for Forrester’s new couture collection aren’t where they need to be. The conversation has been on the rivals’ feud and not the fashions. It’s a poor financial situation for the company.

Not to mention, the family’s close, personal friend Fanny (Elsa Esnoult) is working on a line for Logan. She shared the news with Ridge and Brooke, thinking that Katie (Heather Tom) had told them. It came as a shock to the couple as they added the perfumer to the list of people in their lives now associated with the start-up.

Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) have been throwing themselves into work. But the stress of landing Forrester’s bounce back comes second to their sorrow over Daphne’s diagnosis. They’ve been leaning on their friends and their love to work through their emotions about not being able to conceive.

Daphne has been so devastated by the news that she has premature ovarian insufficiency that she won’t consider alternatives to conception. Carter hasn’t broached the topic, but it’s something he’s spoken about with Steffy and Ridge. He wants a family with Daphne; however, it can happen even if it’s not how they dreamed.
