The heart wants what the heart wants…except what does her heart truly want?
Hope’s love life on Bold and the Beautiful has always been a whirlwind. Now she’s torn between two men. Carter, who is the steady, dependable choice and someone who’s weathered his own storms and emerged stronger. Or, Liam, her first love and the father of her daughter, and…dying. We can’t forget he’s dying. So which man is truly right for Hope?
The Case for Carter
Beyond his undeniable good looks and charisma, Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is someone who knows the pain of betrayal. After everything he’s been through, he’s unlikely to play games with Hope’s (Annika Noelle) heart. He brings maturity, loyalty, and a calming influence that could be exactly what Hope needs. But is that enough?
Another strong case for Carter is his magnetic but complicated love life. From secret affairs to dramatic breakups, Carter has had his share of chaos, making him anything but boring. His intense passion and vulnerability give him an edge that draws people in. For Hope, this could mean a love that’s just as thrilling as it is risky.
The Liam Factor
Then there’s Liam (Scott Clifton). Their relationship has been a rollercoaster, marked by countless misunderstandings, breakups, and reconciliations. Liam has hurt Hope in the past, but he’s also been her rock during difficult times. For all his flaws, there’s an undeniable chemistry between them that’s hard to ignore.
But is their love story truly epic, or just a toxic cycle? Fans are divided. Some argue that Liam is Hope’s true love, while others believe he’s the reason for her constant heartbreak. Can they finally find a way to make it work…at least for the rest of Liam’s life? Is that too much to ask? Or is it time for Hope to close this chapter once and for all?
What’s Next for Hope?
So who’s the right man for Hope? Is it Carter, who offers stability, or Liam, with whom she shares a history? No, it should be Thomas (Matthew Atkinson). Yes. Thomas. Our man Thomas Forrester who we all miss, who we all love, and who we all want. Hope’s journey is far from over, and with two men vying for her heart, why not add in a third and really get this battle brewing.
