In a dramatic and unexpected turn of events, Carter Walton makes the life-altering decision

to relinquish control of Forrester Creations back to Ridge Forrester and leave Los Angeles with Daphne Rose.

This move not only ends the heated power struggle but also signals a fresh chapter for both Carter and the Forrester family.

The revelation of Carter’s scheme to take over Forrester Creations by Brooke sets off a series of events that lead him to reflect on his actions. Realizing the damage he caused to Ridge and the trust he shattered among his friends and colleagues, Carter begins to understand the gravity of his mistakes. Amid this turmoil, Carter grows increasingly drawn to Daphne Rose, a captivating and enigmatic perfume expert, whose presence profoundly impacts his life.

Acknowledging his deep feelings for Daphne and his need to start anew, Carter decides to sever ties with his life in Los Angeles, including his relationship with Hope Logan. Hope, devastated by Carter’s betrayal and abrupt departure, struggles to come to terms with the fact that the man she loved has chosen to walk away. Despite the heartbreak, Hope resolves to rise above the pain and move forward.

Before leaving, Carter meets with Ridge to offer a heartfelt apology for his actions. In a gesture of atonement, he signs the documents needed to restore Ridge’s control over Forrester Creations. Although initially furious, Ridge eventually forgives Carter, recognizing that he was caught in a whirlwind of emotions and manipulation involving Daphne and Hope.
