What is the current storyline with Daphne Rose on The Bold and the Beautiful?

Daphne Rose has become a key player on The Bold and the Beautiful after Steffy Forrester involved her to try and regain control of Forrester Creations. After Hope and Carter had a coup against the Forrester family and removed them from the company, Steffy has been trying to execute a proper plan to get their company and spot back.

Daphne, a perfumer, arrived in Los Angeles from Paris to pitch her new fragrance line to Forrester Creations. However, Steffy used her friendship with Daphne as an opportunity to gain inside information for leverage against Hope and Carter. Apart from this, another part of the plan was for Daphne to seduce Carter and destroy his relationship with Hope, putting her in a vulnerable spot.

Initially, the plan went well since Daphne entered a business deal with Hope and Carter. She also began drawing closer to Carter. However, Daphne soon realized that Carter had influence and power at Forrester. Daphne started to see a chance to secure her own place within the company, possibly by kicking out Hope and taking that spot beside Carter.

Now, Steffy has been back at Forrester Creations, trying to involve herself in the story and cement her place at the company once more. However, she is unaware of Daphne's change of heart. It remains to be seen how this pans out for the characters in the episodes ahead.
