While Taylor agrees with Ridge’s suggestion, she remains cautious, not wanting to get her hopes too high out of fear of disappointment.
However, Dr. Buckinghamโs diagnosis turns out to be more optimistic than her previous one, suggesting that her condition may not be as severe as initially feared.
Meanwhile, Steffy has noticed the budding relationship between Hope and Carter.
Hope recently became a model for the Brooke’s Bedroom project, which caught Carter’s attention. Carter finds Hope to be charming and attractive, and the two have grown closer over time. Initially,
Steffy disapproved of the idea of them becoming a couple, as she didnโt want the Forrester family to be connected with Hope in any way.

But after thinking it over, Steffy realizes that if Hope and Carter become a couple, Hope would likely stop pursuing Finn.
This realization gives Steffy a sense of relief, so she decides to encourage the potential romance between Hope and Carter.
As CEO of Forrester Creations, Steffy plans to assign them tasks together, giving them more opportunities to bond and deepen their connection.
If they already have a mutual attraction, Steffy believes it wonโt take much to push them into a full-blown relationship.
However, thereโs a lingering question: does Hope truly love Carter, or is she using him for her own agenda?
Hope is known for her flirtatious nature, and many men have come into her life, yet sheโs struggled to truly love anyone.
Carter, on the other hand, is sincere and loyal. The question remains whether his qualities will be enough to win Hopeโs heart.
