Carter finally revealed his feelings for Hope in The Bold and the Beautiful, but is he willing to risk everything for her?
At first, Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) came on smoothly, telling Hope (Annika Noelle) he was thinking about how it would be a huge boost for Hope for the Future to partner with Brooke’s bedroom. Then he added that she should be a model for her mother’s line to link the brands while casually mentioning that he has been thinking about her wearing lingerie. Suddenly they’re kissing, and in the October 8 episode he’s revealing that he’s had feelings for her for a long time.
However, later in the episode Carter sees Hope hanging out with Liam (Scott Clifton) and their daughter, Beth, after the duo arrived with pizza to surprise her. He realizes he’s interrupting a family moment even though Hope is looking at him with love in her eyes.
Carter has had his own ups and downs with love, and he, like Hope, knows all too well what it’s like to fall for someone who is already spoken for. He knows all about her relationship history, including her divorce from Liam and her relationship with Thomas. He knows she kissed Finn (Tanner Novlan). And he’s decided to pursue her anyway.
Seeing Hope with Liam and Beth, however, is a stark reminder that Hope will always be tied to Liam. Sure, he has no idea that Liam might be making a play to win her back (which Hope doesn’t know about, either) but given the former couple’s history there’s always the possibility that they could end up back together. Heck, given Hope’s recent run of relationships, it’s hard to gauge where she’s at.
Is Hope’s love and affection worth risking his own heart? We think Carter is so head over heels in love with her, he’s going to do whatever it takes to be with her, even at the risk of ending up with a broken heart. Carter has been through enough heartache, and right now he seems to be focused on a bright future with the woman of his dreams, no matter what the cost.
