Carter Walton finds himself in a whirlwind of emotions as he begins to suspect that

Hope Logan’s loyalty isn’t as genuine as he once believed. Torn between his long-standing

ties to the Forrester family and his alliance with Hope, Carter initially stood by her side in the battle for control of the company. However, recent events have made him question everything.

Hope has been manipulating Carter, making him believe they are a formidable team. Yet, small red flags begin to surface, leaving Carter uneasy. It’s not long before he uncovers the painful truth—Hope has been using him all along, merely as a tool to maintain her position of power. The revelation hits Carter like a ton of bricks, leaving him both heartbroken and enraged.

Spoilers reveal that Carter will be furious upon realizing that Hope never truly valued him. She saw him as nothing more than a means to an end, leveraging his influence to keep control over the company. After everything he has sacrificed, Carter feels deeply betrayed and taken advantage of. Though Hope may attempt to justify her actions, pleading with him to understand, Carter won’t be so quick to forgive.

This shocking discovery forces Carter to reassess his past decisions. Has he been blindly standing by someone who never had his best interests at heart? The betrayal shakes him to his core, leaving him wondering if he should continue supporting Hope or walk away entirely.

Meanwhile, Ridge Forrester sees this as the perfect opportunity to bring Carter back into the Forrester fold. With Hope’s deceit laid bare, Ridge urges Carter to rethink his loyalty. Steffy Forrester, too, warns him to cut ties with Hope before she causes even more damage. If Carter decides to turn against Hope, their alliance could crumble completely, leading to an all-out power shift.

Desperate to maintain control, Hope scrambles to convince Carter that he has misunderstood the situation. She insists that their partnership is real, but her words may no longer hold weight. As Carter wrestles with his emotions, Brooke Logan watches from the sidelines, deeply conflicted. She fears for her daughter as Hope’s grip on her once-solid world begins to slip.

Ridge doesn’t waste any time in pressuring Carter to sign the necessary documents to restore Forrester leadership. But just when it seems like Carter is ready to make his decision, another complication arises—Deacon Sharpe. Deacon, who has his own stake in Hope’s future, may step in and try to manipulate Carter’s choice, using personal feelings to sway him.

As tensions reach a boiling point, Carter stands at a crossroads. Will he continue playing Hope’s game, or will he finally take control of his own destiny? His decision could change everything, not just for himself, but for the entire Forrester family.
