HOT SHOCKING UPDATE!! Hope pretends to be pregnant, wants Carter not to give FC back to Ridge The Bold and the Beautiful

The latest developments in The Bold and the Beautiful take viewers on an emotional rollercoaster,

filled with deception, heartbreak, and shocking revelations. At the center of it all is Hope Logan,

who makes a desperate move to keep control of Forrester Creations, leading to devastating consequences.

Hope’s world is shaken when Carter Walton decides to return Forrester Creations to Ridge Forrester and his daughter, Steffy. The decision stings, but what cuts deeper is Carter’s insistence that Hope apologize to Ridge and Steffy, a humiliation she refuses to endure. For Hope, Forrester Creations is more than a business—it represents her independence and identity. Bowing to the Forrester family would feel like erasing her own legacy.

Carter, however, is unwavering. His loyalty to the Forrester family and his belief that Ridge and Steffy are the rightful leaders of the company leave no room for negotiation. Desperate to prevent the transfer, Hope concocts a plan so manipulative that even she underestimates the consequences.

In a bold move, Hope falsely claims she is pregnant with Carter’s child. With tears in her eyes, she paints a future where they raise a family together, using their unborn child as leverage to sway his decision. She tells Carter that giving up Forrester Creations would create uncertainty for their child, pleading with him to reconsider.

Carter is left in turmoil. The thought of fatherhood overwhelms him, filling him with both joy and fear. Suddenly, his priorities shift—his once firm decision to return Forrester Creations is clouded by the weight of impending fatherhood. As Carter wrestles with his conscience, Hope watches, torn between triumph and guilt. She never anticipated how much her deception would affect Carter, nor how deeply her lie would entangle them both.

As the days pass, Carter struggles with his choices, confiding in Ridge without revealing Hope’s supposed pregnancy. Ridge urges him to stay true to his values, but Carter is now trapped between his loyalty to the Forrester family and his commitment to the child he believes he is about to have. His once clear path now feels uncertain.

Hope, too, begins to feel the pressure of her deception. Watching Carter struggle fills her with guilt, yet she continues to maintain her lie, convincing herself that keeping Forrester Creations is worth the cost. But cracks in her story begin to show. Carter notices Hope’s avoidance of doctor’s appointments, her vague responses, and her emotional outbursts. His instincts tell him something is wrong.

Eventually, the truth can no longer be avoided. Carter, with pain and urgency in his voice, confronts Hope. “Tell me the truth,” he pleads. “Are you really carrying my child?”

Hope hesitates, trying to maintain the illusion, but Carter sees through her. His heartbreak is evident as he demands honesty. Finally, with the weight of her deception crushing her, Hope breaks down and confesses—she was never pregnant. It was all a lie to stop him from giving up Forrester Creations.

The revelation devastates Carter. The pain in his eyes is deeper than anger—it is pure betrayal. “How could you do this?” he asks, his voice trembling. “You used my love, my hopes, my dreams for a family… just to manipulate me?”

Hope desperately tries to explain, insisting she acted out of fear—fear of losing everything she built, fear of being overshadowed by Steffy once again. But her words fall on deaf ears. The damage is done. Carter is shattered, his trust in Hope irreparably broken.

News of Hope’s deception spreads quickly. Ridge and Steffy are furious, condemning Hope for her dishonesty. Ridge reaffirms his decision to take back Forrester Creations, while Steffy, though vindicated, feels only sadness at the lengths Hope went to in her desperation.

Hope finds herself alone, facing the consequences of her choices. Stripped of power, her relationships in ruins, she is forced to confront her actions. Her journey to redemption will be difficult—trust once broken is not easily restored. She begins by owning up to her mistakes, apologizing to Ridge and Steffy, not expecting forgiveness but taking accountability.

Her biggest challenge, however, is Carter. His heart is wounded, and though he sees Hope trying to change, he is not sure he can ever trust her again. Hope knows that words are not enough—only time and true transformation can repair what she destroyed.

As the battle for Forrester Creations continues and old rivalries linger, one thing is clear: Hope Logan’s choices have changed everything. Whether she can rebuild what she lost remains uncertain.

What do you think—can Hope earn redemption? Will Carter ever forgive her? Or has her betrayal sealed their fate forever?
