The Bold and the Beautiful: Daphne's story arc so far
Daphne Rose, portrayed by Murielle Hilaire, arrived in Los Angeles during a volatile time for her friend Steffy Forrester, just as the family business, Forrester Creations, was taken away from her family. The company's COO, Carter Walton, staged a coup by signing his name on the LLC papers, egged on by his girlfriend, Hope Logan. Hope's mother, Brooke Logan, was made the new CEO.
Steffy exploited Carter's expansion plans by planting her famous Parisian perfumer friend, Daphne, to offer to join the company's fragrance line. As a delighted Carter and Hope took Daphne in, the latter worked on driving a wedge between the company's leading couple. At the same time, Daphne worked on Carter's conscience, making him feel guilty about his actions.
Soon ridden by guilt, Carter tore up the LLC papers and handed over the company to the Forresters. In response, Steffy Forrester sacked Hope Logan, her longtime rival. Hope expected Carter to walk out in solidarity with her. However, neither her beau, Carter Walton, nor her mother, Brooke Logan, gave up their associations with the Forresters for her.
Hope dumped Carter as she exited the company, while Daphne, by now enamored with Carter's charm and character, moved in to offer a romantic future. However, as seen in the episode aired on Thursday, April 10, 2025, Carter pulled back before kissing her, indicating he was not ready to move on from Hope.
What will likely be Daphne's future arc?
Initially, Daphne came to town on a short commission for her friend. However, her unexpected feelings for Carter have complicated matters. She may now be reluctant to return home anytime soon. On the contrary, she may want to pursue Carter till he reciprocates her feelings.
On the work front, following the successful launch of one of her fragrances, she will continue to create more for the company. As to internal politics, she supports Carter as a redeemed person and blames Hope for the chaos. Although she had a friendly rapport with Zende Forrester, she countered the latter's doubts about punishing Hope Logan.
