What Happened on B&B
Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) was ready to leave on the next flight out of Los Angeles. Before that could happen, Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) took a romantic risk. Back at the showroom, he asked her to stay. He got down on one knee and popped the question.
Daphne told Carter that he was crazy. But he said that she’d be crazier to leave. So, he offered her his ring and his heart. They could build a future together that they both have been wanting. Carter told Daphne that he loved her and wanted to be her husband.
Meanwhile, Daphne told Carter that this wasn’t her first time being proposed to. When she was first introduced on the soap, she was described as a woman who had many lovers. Most of them chased her around … and she eventually chased them away. Instead, she wanted to focus on growing a perfume empire.
But then, Daphne fell in love with Carter. She told him that she wanted to get married and have kids. This was a turn of events for someone who ran away from the idea of marriage. Carter assured Daphne that this wasn’t his first proposal either.
Although he has had missteps in his past relationships, he didn’t want to say goodbye. He would go to Paris or anywhere, just to be with her. Daphne finally said yes to Carter’s proposal, but we already got her response ahead of the life-changing episode.
Why It Matters For Carter
Carter told Daphne that he’s never felt like this before. However, viewers know that the problem is that the Forrester COO has felt this way before. In fact, he has popped the question to every woman he’s ever fallen in love with. B&B fans haven’t forgotten that he was engaged to Hope (Annika Noelle) just a few months ago.
He falls in love too hard and too fast. And his engagements tend not to last forever. Most of the time, the woman he’s with is in love with someone else. Of course, that’s not the case with Daphne. However, she could have someone back home in Paris, which is why she keeps returning there.
She might end up realizing that she doesn’t want to stay tied down to a man. Carter will be on the fast track to the aisle. And with her career flourishing in Los Angeles, she might want to pump the brakes on marriage and kids for now.
The Fallout For ‘Caphne’
Carter and Daphne are moving too fast. He’s trying to lock down a relationship after being dumped by Hope. Jumping from one woman to the next has never worked for him. He would rather pop the question than take the time to truly know Daphne.
There’s still a secret from her past that has yet to come out. Additionally, Carter is unaware that Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) hired Daphne to break up his relationship with Hope. What if he finds out the truth? Can he still trust her?
