Carter Walton and Hope Logan started an office romance recently on The Bold and the Beautiful. While they tried to keep the relationship a secret, the duo planned a coup on Forrester Creations, the company where both work. As they were outed by Brooke Logan, company CEO Ridge Forrester asked Carter to break up his romance to keep his job. However, Carter refused and got fired as he chose love for Hope over his longstanding career.
The Bold and the Beautiful fans know Carter has been part of the Forrester family's fashion business for a long time. The CBS soap's plot focuses on the haute couture business, its staff, the owning family, their associates, the Logan family, and their feud with the Spencer family. The soap has been airing since March 1987 and is one of the longest-running American daily soaps.
B&B fans were left unimpressed with Carter's recent declaration of love when he refused to live in a world that Hope was not part of. One viewer named Rosie Paino remarked:

"What a joke."
Rosie was replying in a fan page thread on Facebook in a public group of The Bold and the Beautiful to a post by another fan, Angela Ray. Angela highlighted Carter's words to Hope with face-palm emojis.
Many viewers agreed that Carter's proclamation of love sounded lame and hilarious. Others questioned his sanity.
Some longtime fans remembered Carter saying the same thing to Quinn before. Some others thought the pairing was not right.
Many netizens think Carter is unlucky in love, and Hope may not remain loyal to him for long.
The Bold and the Beautiful: What is currently happening for Hope and Carter?
A drunk Hope Logan had kissed Steffy's husband, Finn, during a weak moment. However, she apologized and moved on. On one hand, Steffy tried to discontinue Hope's loss-making design line, Hope for the Future; on the other, Hope found love in Carter.
Carter Walton, the company COO, proposed some expansion plans along with the suggestion to save Hope's fashion line. The management shot down his proposals. To add to problems, Steffy stumbled into Hope in an awkward situation with Finn. Steffy misunderstood Hope's intention and fired her.
Distraught over rejected plans, Carter's patience gave out after he could not get Steffy to overturn the dismissal. As such, he conspired to take over Forrester Creations to teach the Forresters a lesson. He signed his name as a manager on the company's LLC papers.
While Carter fought guilt about betraying his friend and employer, Ridge Forrester, Hope egged him on to the coup by assuring him that this would benefit FC. Hope's mother, Brooke Logan, came to know about the secret and relayed it to Ridge.
As Ridge and Carter had a face-to-face argument about the betrayal, Ridge offered Carter his position in the company in exchange for his breakup from Hope. Carter chose to stay true to his newfound love and gave up his promising career.
What is Carter and Hope's likely future on the soap?
On the B&B episode that aired on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, Ridge Forrester pinned the blame for the betrayal on Hope, something that Brooke weakly resisted. On the other hand, Carter went to Hope and reiterated his verbal exchange with Ridge. When Hope forbade him from sacrificing his job at FC, Carter declared that he refused to belong to a place that did not have her.
Currently, the two are unemployed since both have been fired. They may need to reach out to FC rival Bill Spencer Jr. for support and a job. However, that may be a bleak probability, as Bill's son Will Spencer is working as an intern in FC, and the father would not want to create problems for the son.
Carter and Hope may think about setting up a business of their own to rival the Forresters. However, they will need funds and hand-holding for it. However, if the LLC document comes into force, Carter will become the CEO of Forrester Creations. As such, he may fire Ridge and Steffy and appoint Hope as his partner.
Watch The Bold and the Beautiful on CBS every weekday to catch the upcoming episodes on Carter and Hope's future journey.
