CARTER’S PAST COULD BE COMING BACK TO HAUNT HIM
TL;DR: What if Daphne Rose is connected to Quinn Fuller on Bold and the Beautiful? Carter Walton admitted his pattern is choosing women who need saving, and he says Daphne is different! But what if she is NOT different at all? What if Daphne is connected to Carter‘s past with Quinn? Carter and Quinn had a whole AFFAIR while she was married to Eric Forrester!
Carter was in love with Quinn and wanted to marry her, but she was cheating on Eric with him! What if Daphne is related to Quinn? What if she is working FOR Quinn? What if this entire romance is connected to Carter‘s messy past?
Let Us Review Carter’s Messy History With Quinn
Before we get into the Daphne speculation, let us take a trip down memory lane and remember Carter Walton‘s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) relationship with Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer)!
Carter and Quinn had an AFFAIR! A full-blown, passionate, sneaking-around affair! And the kicker? Quinn was MARRIED to Eric Forrester (John McCook) at the time!
Carter fell HARD for Quinn! He was not just having a fling! He genuinely loved her and wanted to marry her! But Quinn was actively cheating on Eric with Carter, which made the entire situation messy and complicated!
The affair eventually blew up, as affairs tend to do on soap operas! Eric found out, hearts were broken, and Carter was left to pick up the pieces! It was a whole THING!
So now, years later, Carter is moving on with Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire)! He told Daphne that his pattern is choosing women who need saving, but Daphne is different! She does not need saving!
But what if Carter is WRONG? What if Daphne is connected to his messy past with Quinn?
What If Daphne Is Related to Quinn?
Here is the theory: What if Daphne Rose is related to Quinn Fuller?
We do not know much about Daphne‘s background! She is a perfumer at Forrester Creations, and she has been getting close to Carter! But where did she come from? Who is her family? What is her connection to Los Angeles?
What if Daphne is Quinn‘s cousin? Her niece? A long-lost relative? What if Daphne showed up in Carter‘s life specifically because of what happened between him and Quinn?
Maybe Daphne is here to get REVENGE on Carter for the affair! Maybe she blames Carter for hurting Quinn or ruining her marriage to Eric! Maybe Daphne is here to make Carter fall in love with her so she can break his heart the way he broke Quinn‘s!
Or maybe Daphne is here to get revenge FOR Eric! Maybe she is connected to the Forrester family somehow and wants to punish Carter for his role in the affair!
The possibilities are ENDLESS!
What If Daphne Rose Is Working FOR Quinn?
Here is an even WILDER theory: What if Daphne is working FOR Quinn?
What if Quinn sent Daphne to mess with Carter? What if this entire romance is a setup orchestrated by Quinn to get back at Carter for something?
Maybe Quinn never forgave Carter for how their affair ended! Maybe she feels like Carter betrayed her or left her hanging! So she sent Daphne to seduce Carter and make him fall in love, only to pull the rug out from under him!
That would be SO Quinn! Quinn is not exactly known for her healthy coping mechanisms! She schemes and manipulates when she feels wronged! Sending Daphne to mess with Carter would be totally in character for her!
The Timing Is VERY Suspicious
Let us talk about the TIMING of Daphne showing up in Carter‘s life!
Carter just broke up with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle)! He admitted that he never really stood a chance against Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) and the family they shared! Carter was vulnerable and looking for connection!
And who shows up RIGHT at that moment? Daphne Rose!
She conveniently appeared at Forrester Creations as a perfumer! She conveniently started spending time with Carter! She conveniently challenged him to earn her trust and sparked his interest!
That is A LOT of conveniences!
What if Daphne‘s arrival was NOT coincidental at all? What if she specifically targeted Carter when he was vulnerable? What if she KNEW he just broke up with Hope and would be looking for someone new?
Carter Said Daphne Does Not Need Saving—But What If She Does?
Carter told Daphne that his pattern is choosing women who need to be saved! He recognized that he has always been drawn to women with problems, women who need rescuing, women who are in crisis!
Carter said Daphne is DIFFERENT! She does not need saving! She is strong and independent and capable!
But what if Carter is WRONG? What if Daphne DOES need saving, but not in the way Carter thinks?
What if Daphne is trapped in Quinn‘s scheme? What if she is being forced to mess with Carter against her will? What if she actually LIKES Carter but is stuck carrying out Quinn‘s revenge plot?
That would add a whole layer of complexity to this storyline! Daphne would genuinely need saving—from Quinn‘s manipulation!
The Bottom Line: Something Feels Off About Daphne
Look, maybe Daphne Rose is exactly who she says she is! Maybe she is just a perfumer who happens to be interested in Carter! Maybe there is no connection to Quinn at all!
But on Bold and the Beautiful, things are rarely that simple! There is ALWAYS a twist! There is ALWAYS a secret! There is ALWAYS a connection!
Daphne showing up right after Carter broke up with Hope, challenging him to earn her trust, being mysterious about her background—it all feels like setup for a REVEAL!
And the most logical reveal? A connection to Carter‘s messy past with Quinn Fuller!
Whether Daphne is related to Quinn, working for Quinn, or connected to the affair in some other way, we would not be surprised if Carter‘s past comes back to haunt him!
Carter thought he could move on and find someone new! But soap operas do not let characters escape their pasts that easily!
