It’s February, the month of love, and with Valentine’d Day coming up, The Bold and the Beautiful is serving up a wedding and some romance fo Forrester Creations employees, Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) and unlucky in love, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor).

However, as in any soaps, can they get through their “I do’s” without some kind of secret coming to light, such as how Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) brought Daphne in from France to break-up Carter and Hope’s (Annika Noelle) relationship? He’s still in the dark about that! Despite her initial intentions, Daphne fell in love with Carter.

In addition, we still don’t know much about Daphne’s back-story, which always could cause trouble. The possibility could exist that even after the duo ties the knot that a mystery man appears claiming to be her husband, and thus the marriage is invalid!

Brad Bell, the executive producer and head writer of The Bold and the Beautiful in his winter preview for the CBS soap opera expressed, “They’ll have an interesting story as they’re wanting to start this family, and they’ll also be involved in other stories, some interesting, unforeseen plots that are unfolding. We’re going to see a completely different side to Daphne.”

Murielle Hilaire and Lawrence Saint-Victor chatted with Michael Fairman TV to discuss their thoughts on the nuptials and what they think the chances are of Daphne and Carter going the distance, especially given Carter’s track record.

CARTER’S UNLUCKY IN LOVE

“It’s not his fault, those relationships have been short term. He would’ve loved to have gone the distance with most of his fiancees. He would’ve loved for it to turn into marriage and a family. It just never worked out. And with Daphne, I do think that he was trying to take his time. I think Carter was trying to go slow, but in doing so, now she’s (suddenly) leaving to go to Paris. So, Carter goes to default mode, which is, ‘I got this ring and I’m going to propose and pledge my undying love for you.'”

Hilaire responded, ‘I think that resembles real life, people are trying to go too fast, it really doesn’t hold. I think Carter is a real representation of most people just looking to have a relationship, looking to have a connection. When they fall in love with someone and there’s like attraction and admiration, they go straight to commitment because they think, I can’t do better than this is a great person.”

THE FUTURE OF CARTER AND DAPHNE

As to what viewers can expect come this Thursday, both actors were extremely coy albeit to add that we will see Daphne in a wedding dress, and Carter at the Forrester fashion show runway/altar.  However, what happens after that? Saint-Victor, who is also on the writing team of The Bold and the Beautiful teased,

“I think there’s some exciting stuff to come between them, but it’s going to be different, than what you’d be expecting.”

So, do you think Carter will end up getting dumped again? Will his relationship with Daphne stick? Does she have a shady past or secret that will come to life? Will they start a family and everything goes A-OK? Weigh-in via the comment section.

This week on The Bold and the Beautiful, Liam Spencer got down on one knee and proposed to his ex-wife, Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and without hesitation (as has been Hope’s MO with other gents), she said, “Yes!”

This marks the fourth time, Lope has been engaged. Now, let’s see if they can make it to the altar for the fourth time. The two have been married before in 2012 (when Hope was played by Kim Matula), 2018-2019, and 2020-2023. Will number four be the charm?

Three-time Daytime Emmy winner, Scott Clifton caught up with Michael Fairman TV at the recent 52nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards, where he discussed Hope being Liam’s ladylove, and how Liam’s faux brain cancer storyline, changed the trajectory for the on-screen duo, and his daytime career, where at one point he thought he may be packing his dressing room.

Over the years, Liam has been known to be wishy-washy and flip-floppy in particular ping ponging between his ex-wife Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Hope. So, when in 2025, he comes to the realization he wants to be with Hope, it came with Scott’s knowledge of how it would be perceived by some fans of the show.

A HOPE-LESS ROMANTIC

“I know, a whole lot of talk about, ‘I’m going to do things differently and I’m going to be different. I’m going to change. I’m not dying. Hope, you wanna get married?’ Cause that’s what we do (on soap operas),” joked Clifton, knowing full-well his on-screen alter ego is headed back and full steam ahead into a serious relationship with his ex-wife.

Clifton weighed-in on why Liam and Hope found their way back to one another, yet again! “I think the whole point of everything that Liam and Hope have both just gone through, is it can’t be for nothing. I really hope that these epiphanies that they’ve each had about each other and their family stick. I believe that they will.” Famous last words on The Bold and the Beautiful which has been notorious for breaking-up couples, then having them circle back to each other.

LOVE AND TUMOR

Earlier this year, things looked bleak for Liam Spencer when he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. At the time, Clifton chatted live on the Michael Fairman Channel as Liam was struggling with the realization he was o borrowed time, and from comments made by Scott during the conversation, it did give off vibes to many that he could be, in fact, being written-off the show.

Scott reflected on the discussion five months ago. “Everything I said to you was true. The truth as far as my knowledge at that time. It wasn’t until later I was informed about it. Brad Bell wasn’t even like pulling one over on me. I mean, he pulled me into his office, and he said, ‘Look, I’m going to level with you. This is what I want to do with the character, and we’re going say goodbye to Liam.’ Brad was conscientious and you could tell he loved this character, and it was even hard for him to say goodbye. But, that was what he had chosen to do. So when we had our conversation, that was the plan.”

Scott continued, “At that point, I just kind of wanted to focus on this storyline, because if it really was going to be sort of a swan song for this character that I put so much of my life into, not to mention what Brad’s put into it. I really wanted to do it right. So thankfully I never had to get to the point where, now I’m out of work. Where do I go from here?”

As Liam’s story played out, suddenly Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech), who had been the doctor who came up with the inoperable brain tumor diagnosis, was acting very odd. As it came to light, she faked Liam’s medical crisis to bilk his father, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) out of $1 million, in order to pay off criminals who were coming after her and her daughters for a debt owed by her ex-husband, Dr, Reese Buckingham (Wayne Brady). You know, the guy that told Hope that baby Beth died and then sold her? Quite the twist.

Scott recalled when he learned of Liam’s last minute reprieve, “Brad told me that he had changed his mind about this before he told me how that was going to work out. It was just a very short phone call. He said, ‘Just be prepared. I’m going to change direction here.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, my God! Thank you.’ But, I was going, ‘How on earth is he going to pull this off? It’s clearly been established that there is a tumor in my head.’ When he kind of revealed that, it was amazing how he did it.”

Now below, check out our conversation with Scott from the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards red carpet and in case you missed it, our livestream chat with him from this past summer via the Michael Fairman Channel.

So, are you glad that Liam proposed to Hope and she said, “Yes!” Do you think they will tie the knot for the fourth time? What did you think about how Scott recalled how Brad Bell informed him that Liam wasn’t going to die after all? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

On General Hospital, things aren’t going swimmingly well for Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) with the women in his life. First, after finding Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) was alive and well, and then rescuing her from certain doom (when the lab she was working in at the Five Poppies Resort in Dalmatia exploded) instead of running into his arms, Britt has put a wall up between them.

Then, Jason’s ride or die, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) was in for the shock of her life, when Jason dropped the bombshell that her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is WSB and working for Carly’s beau, Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Jason couldn’t keep the secret from Carly any longer, but he didn’t tell her the truth right away either. Will he be in the dog house with his bestie for long?

Michael Fairman TV caught up with Steve and his lovely wife, content creator, Michelle Lundstrom on the red carpet at the 52nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards, just as the carpet was shutting down to prepare for the ceremony on daytime’s biggest night of the year.

When asked about the status of the relationship between Jason and Britt and if the writers are going to move it forward anytime soon, when clearly they both have feeling for each other, Burton revealed, “They (the writers) said they are just going to keep making people wait. So we’re going to see what happens.”

Burton was shocked that Jason came out of the conversation with Carly physically unscathed when he told her that Josslyn was now a WSB agent and he saw it with his own eyes, when he was rescuing Britt and company in Croatia. The two-time Daytime Emmy winner noted, “You know Carly’s going to have something up her sleeve. I’m surprised I’m still here to talk about it!”

As viewers know since Jason’s confession, Carly had donned a black wig, got a fake passport from Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and headed to Steinmauer maximum security prison to have a conversation with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), where her plan is now taking shape to take down Jack Brennan.

Many of Steve’s co-stars including GH icon Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine), who told Michael Fairman TV during our interview with her at the Daytime Emmys, that she felt Steve just did the finest work in his career, as the grieving son during Monica’s (the late Leslie Charleson) memorial episodes. Burton gave credit to his recent marriage to the love of his life, Michelle, as one of the main factors. The couple tied the knot in a ceremony back on May 17th of this year.

“I’m just in a great place in my life, emotionally, spiritually with my wife here, and everything is just really great,” admitted Burton. Now, viewers will have to wait and see just how things play out between Jason and Britt and Carly and Jason. Hopefully, his Port Charles alter-ego can find some joy with someone in the near future, too!

Now let us know, do you think Steve is doing some of the finest acting work of his career, especially during Monica’s memorial episodes? Do you hope that Britt and Jason can get on track to become a bonafide couple? Should Carly be super pissed at Jason? Will she ultimately need Jason’s help when she gets herself into deep to take down Jack? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.
