Bold and the Beautiful threw Hope Logan and Carter Walton together as a couple of serial romantics flitting from one love interest to another lately on the CBS soap.
After Hope’s divorce from Liam Spencer, she set her sights on Thomas Forrester and then Finn. But Carter has several recent conquests, starting with the Buckingham sisters. From there he moved on to Quinn Fuller and finally Katie Logan.
So, both show a bit of instability in their romantic landing zones, as each wants something completely different out of a relationship today. So, this likely morphs into a recipe for a B&B disaster.
Bold and the Beautiful Hope Logan Gets a Dose of Feel Good?
Bold and the Beautiful has Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) hearing all the same blurbs of romance from Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) that she did from Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). And she acts pretty much the same by soaking it up and turning it into a bout of seduction.
So, it seems she’s in the same boat that she was with Thomas. Of course, Carter isn’t asking for anything more… yet. It is still early on in their courtship.
But history indicates he will eventually want more, like a family. So, Hope Logan will continue to enjoy the extracurricular activity on the office desk, and on the design room couch. That is, until he wants more.
But Carter Walton will likely read her wrong, just like Thomas did. So, this plays out as the two of them make fools of themselves on the office couch, as both have different futures in mind. Plus, with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) hot on this secret couple’s trail, things will likely get dicey soon.
B&B: Carter Walton on a Fast Track?
Bold and the Beautiful fans find it almost embarrassing when Carter Walton repeats the words he used in his previous entanglements with love. And, like previous fleeting relationships, this new thing with Hope Logan was so quick.
Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) even asked the COO about his relationship with Katie Logan (Heather Tom). The Logan matriarch didn’t realize it was over between Carter and her sister. So, now the COO woos Hope, who loves to be wooed, but that’s about as far as she goes.
Commitment is not in the cards for the Logan daughter, but that is all Carter Walton is playing for these days—longevity. And he moves at warp speed. As Bold and the Beautiful fans know from his last few love interests, he wants to settle down soon.
Bold and the Beautiful: It Comes Down to Carter Vs. Hope?
Bold and the Beautiful gives Hope Logan and Carter Walton something in common today, but that wears off soon. They become allies in war against the Forresters. So, as the battle for their place in the company begins, Eric Forrester (John McCook) draws the line.
Sure, they’ve made Carter think he is family, but he’s not a Forrester. And Eric made that clear this week on Bold and the Beautiful. Hope is in worse shape, as she’s a Logan, which put a target on her long ago. But she’s still dodging attacks today.
Carter has a vision, and his battle is to be heard. Hope battles Steffy who is out to get her around every corner. So, they have this in common. And together they fool themselves they can do this. But that’s likely not enough, they have the wrong last names.
So, Carter probably ends up feeling that he is the COO without much say in the company. And Steffy likely gets her way and puts HFTF on the chopping block.
B&B: Relationship Falls Apart?
With both of them wanting different things out of life, this relationship is likely doomed. It is hard to imagine Carter ever tossing his dream of love and family aside to carry on with risqué play dates with Hope.
Hope Logan can’t continue to fine-tune the art of seduction for the rest of her life. So, unless Bold and the Beautiful eventually conforms her to the marrying kind, then her love life with Carter will likely take the same path as her relationship with Thomas.
Both pursue different kinds of relationships with each other. And as of right now, neither are ready to give the other what they want. So, unless something changes drastically, these two look at a double whammy. They fool themselves by continuing to think Forresters will hear them.
And they fool themselves even more by thinking their romance will work. And it probably won’t unless one of them changes their plans for the future on the CBS soap.
