Who Is Daphne Rose on The Bold and the Beautiful? Get to Know the Femme Fatale Behind the Fragrance!

Daphne made quite a splash on Bold and Beautiful when she first appeared, and viewers are naturally curious about the intriguing new character. The role is being played by Franco-American actress Murielle Hillaire, who made her debut in the Jan. 7, 2025, episode. She has appeared in the French series Baie des Flamboyants and Coeur Océan and made her US feature film debut in 2023’s The Ritual Killer with Morgan Freeman and Cole Hauser. B&B marks her daytime debut. Though she appeared to exit the soap in May, the character returned to the canvas in July for more drama.

Something Stinks

Carter Walton and Hope Logan were stunned to learn that Daphne Rose, the most famous nose in Paris, was in the Forrester Creations building. The famed perfume designer boldly entered the main office and presented the pair with a new scent she called “Forrester.” Leaving them with that, she walked out, warning Fanny that the perfume account was hers and that she should pack up and leave.

Daphne then showed up at Steffy Forrester’s home, where it was revealed that they were working together. Learning she got the job, Steffy inquired about her other mission, seducing Carter. Daphne promised that he would be putty in her hands and continued flirting with Carter as she signed the deal with Forrester. After Hope caught them in a close moment, Daphne realized that Carter and Hope had a strong connection and changed tactics. She began working on his guilt over stealing Forrester from the family, and that did the trick!

Having fallen for Carter for real, Daphne continued working her wiles, and Hope caught them kissing in the office. She was pleased when Carter tore up the LLC papers and gave Forrester Creations back to the Forresters, especially when that move caused Hope to dump him! But overhearing Carter talk about wanting to win Hope back made Daphne vow to get the guy for herself!

Daphne made her play, but Carter resisted her advances, and having overheard them, Brooke Logan warned her to back off so Carter could reconcile with Hope. Then, Katie Logan saw Daphne kissing Carter and later, discussing with Zende Forrester how Steffy had hired her to split up Carter and Hope. Confronted, Daphne admitted the truth, but insisted she had genuinely fallen in love with Carter. When Carter got the wrong idea about Hope and Liam, he took Daphne back to his loft, where she insisted that she was the right woman for him.

Once Carter and Hope straightened things out, he informed Daphne that they were back together, and the perfumier was further upset to hear that Steffy had hired Hope back to work at Forrester. Daphne told Steffy she couldn’t keep doing this and said goodbye to Carter before taking the Forrester jet back to Paris in May.
