There’s no doubt that Hope and Carter have a complicated relationship. On The Bold and the Beautiful, they quickly went from co-workers to close friends to lovers. However, their romance was shaken by Daphne and the Forresters. This had us wondering whether they’re one of soap’s greatest love stories never told?
Stolen Moments
We’re learning more about Hope (Annika Noelle) and Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) relationship as it plays out on B&B. They seemingly had some sweet moments that weren’t shared on the show. For instance, they spent most of their time dancing in the kitchen and stealing kisses as they made dinner. We wish we had seen these “Cope” moments, as it would’ve helped build their storyline.

Instead, we mostly saw drama at the office. Carter and Hope were obsessed with wanting to be at the top of the corporate ladder. Their shared hatred for the Forresters is what brought them together and intensified their relationship. The couple got off on the power that the coup attempt brought them.
It eventually came all crashing down. Carter handed the company back to the Forresters. Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) got a clear read on him. She realized that he was a good man, and not the power-hungry man that Hope made him out to be.
What Do Fans Think
B&B fans shared their thoughts on whether Hope and Carter are one of the show’s greatest love stories. Some of them are rooting for a “Lope” reunion. A Redditor started a thread with the following: “At this point, I would much rather see Hope with Liam. At least they have chemistry and history. She has neither of those with Carter, and I can’t find anyone clamoring for Carter and Hope to get back together.”
NEXT: Does Hope have a fickle heart?
Fans had other suggestions for both characters. “Daphne would have a better shot with Zende than Carter,” one fan wrote. “Brooke and Carter are gonna kiss,” a second Redditor suggested. “Please, soap gods, send Carter permanently into the arms of Daphne,” begged a third fan.
“I’ve always been team Hopiam,” a fourth fan summed it up best. This was their clever new name for Liam (Scott Clifton) and Hope. What are your thoughts? Do you like Carter and Hope’s love story? Let us know in the comments section.
