TWO MEN, ONE HOPE…AND A BABY?! WILL CHAOS ENSUE?!
TL;DR: Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) just made the BIGGEST mistake of her life on B&B! She chose Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) over Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). Carter ended their engagement on October 2nd after realizing Hope’s heart belonged to her family with Liam.
But here’s the TWIST: Soap opera rumors say Hope might be pregnant. And if she slept with both men in the same week, she’ll have NO IDEA who the father is. We’re breaking down this catastrophic love triangle, why Hope choosing Liam is a disaster, and whether Liam would play daddy to a “Harter” baby if Carter turns out to be the father!
Carter Ended the Engagement (And Broke Our Hearts)
On October 2, 2025, Carter Walton did the most selfless, heartbreaking thing: He broke off his engagement to Hope Logan. After fighting to get Hope for the Future reinstated and securing her line’s comeback, Carter pushed for them to get married immediately.
But Hope hesitated. She wanted to “plan” things. She needed “time.” And when she got a text from Liam about Beth’s father-daughter dance, Carter saw the truth written all over her face.
“You want to be there with Beth and Liam tonight,” Carter said, reading the situation perfectly. Hope couldn’t deny it. Her connection with Liam was too strong. Her daughter wanted her parents back together. And Hope’s heart was being pulled back to her ex-husband.
Carter made the decision for her: “Give your daughter what she wants. Give her her parents back. That’s what’s in your heart.” He took off Hope’s engagement ring, kissed her goodbye, and walked away.
Fans were SOBBING. Carter deserved better. He fought for Hope, supported her career, and loved her unconditionally. And she threw it all away to go back to Liam—the king of wafflers who has hurt her repeatedly over the years.
Hope Logan Chose Wrong (And Everyone Knows It)
Let’s be clear: Hope Logan is making a MASSIVE mistake choosing Liam over Carter. Here’s why:
Liam’s track record is TERRIBLE. He’s waffled between Hope and Steffy for YEARS. He’s broken Hope’s heart multiple times. He abandoned their family when things got tough. And now that Hope is engaged to someone else, suddenly he wants her back? Classic Liam.
Carter, on the other hand, has been nothing but supportive, loving, and committed. He fought Ridge to get her line reinstated. He wanted to marry her immediately. He put her happiness above his own. Carter is the stable, mature partner Hope deserves.
But Hope’s letting nostalgia and Beth’s wishes cloud her judgment. She’s romanticizing the past with Liam instead of appreciating the amazing future she could have with Carter.
Fans are FURIOUS. Social media is full of comments like “Hope is throwing away the best thing that ever happened to her!” and “Carter deserves so much better than this!”
Beth’s Manipulation Worked
Let’s talk about Beth. The kid has been pushing HARD for her parents to reunite. She asked Liam point-blank if he thought Hope Logan and Carter would actually get married. She pressured Hope to attend the father-daughter dance. She’s been making her desire for her parents to reconcile crystal clear.
And it WORKED. Hope chose to go to the dance with Liam and Beth, effectively ending her relationship with Carter. The three of them danced together as the sun set, looking like the perfect little family.
But here’s the problem: Making relationship decisions based on what your child wants is terrible parenting. Beth is a kid who doesn’t understand the complexities of adult relationships. She just wants Mommy and Daddy together because that’s familiar and comfortable.
Hope and Liam aren’t good together. They’ve proven that repeatedly. Getting back together “for Beth” is setting everyone up for failure.
The Pregnancy Rumor That Changes EVERYTHING
Here’s where this storyline gets really interesting: Soap opera rumors say Hope Logan is going to find herself pregnant this fall. And the timing is… complicated.
Hope slept with Carter before their engagement ended. And now she’s back with Liam, which means they’re probably about to rekindle their physical relationship. If Hope sleeps with both men within a short timeframe and then discovers she’s pregnant, she’ll have ZERO idea who the father is.
This is CLASSIC soap opera drama. The problem with sleeping with two men in one week on daytime TV? You almost always get a positive pregnancy test. And then viewers spend months waiting to find out who the baby daddy is.
If Hope’s pregnant with Carter’s baby but back with Liam, we’ve got a CATASTROPHIC situation. Does she tell them both? Does she keep it secret and hope it’s Liam’s? Does Carter find out and fight for custody?
Would Liam Raise Carter’s Baby?
Here’s the million-dollar question: If Hope’s pregnant and the baby turns out to be Carter’s, would Liam play daddy to a “Harter” baby?
(Yes, fans are already calling a potential Hope and Carter baby “Harter.” It’s adorable and we’re here for it.)
Liam has a history of being supportive and stepping up for children, even when they’re not biologically his. He raised Kelly believing she might be Bill’s daughter. He was ready to be a father to Phoebe/Beth when they thought she was adopted.
But this situation is different. Carter isn’t some absent father or villain—he’s a good man who genuinely loves Hope Logan. If the baby is Carter’s, he’s going to want to be involved. And that means Liam would have to share parenting duties with the man Hope almost married.
Can you imagine the awkwardness? Liam and Carter co-parenting? Hope navigating between her baby daddy and her rekindled romance? The drama would be ENDLESS.
Carter’s Going to Move On (And Hope Will Regret It)
Speaking of Carter: He’s not going to pine for Hope forever. Enter Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire), who’s been making heart-eyes at Carter since the moment she met him.
On October 2nd, while Hope was at the daddy-daughter dance, Daphne was reflecting on Carter’s amazing qualities. She texted him asking if he wanted to join her at Il Giardino for open mic night. The timing is PERFECT for Daphne to swoop in and comfort heartbroken Carter.
B&B is clearly setting up Daphne as Carter’s rebound romance. And honestly? Good for him. He deserves someone who appreciates him and doesn’t waffle between him and an ex-husband.
But you KNOW what’s going to happen: Hope’s going to realize she made a mistake. Liam’s going to disappoint her again (because that’s what Liam does). And by the time Hope wants Carter back, he’ll have moved on with Daphne.
The regret is going to be DELICIOUS to watch.
What Happens Next?
Hope attended the father-daughter dance with Liam and Beth, cementing her decision to reunite with her ex-husband. Carter is heartbroken but moving forward. Daphne’s waiting in the wings.
If the pregnancy rumors are true, Hope will discover she’s expecting within the next few weeks. The paternity mystery could drag out for MONTHS, with viewers waiting to see if the baby is Liam’s or Carter’s.
Meanwhile, Liam and Hope will try to rebuild their relationship. But we all know Liam’s history. He’s going to waffle. He’s going to disappoint her. And Hope’s going to realize she threw away her chance at real happiness with Carter.
The Bottom Line
Hope Logan made a catastrophic choice on The Bold and the Beautiful, and we’re all watching the train wreck unfold in real time. She chose Liam – the chronic waffler who’s broken her heart repeatedly – over Carter, the stable, supportive partner who fought for her and loved her unconditionally.
If the pregnancy rumors are true and Hope ends up carrying Carter’s baby while trying to reunite with Liam, this love triangle is about to become a DISASTER. And fans will be here for every messy, dramatic second of it.
The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS. Tune in to watch Hope Logan’s catastrophic love triangle unfold—and to see if she ends up pregnant with no idea who the father is!
