Ridge is never shy about sharing his opinion—especially when it comes to matters of the heart. In the latest The Bold and the Beautiful developments, he makes it clear that he believes Daphne isn’t just another chapter in Carter’s love life—she’s his destiny.
From Ridge’s perspective, Carter has spent years caught in complicated romances, heartbreak, and emotional missteps. Time and again, he has invested deeply, only to find himself disappointed. Watching Carter with Daphne, however, Ridge sees something different. There’s a sense of balance, maturity, and genuine connection that stands out from Carter’s past relationships.
Ridge believes Daphne challenges Carter in the right ways. She’s not intimidated by his intensity or his position at Forrester Creations. Instead, she meets him as an equal. To Ridge, that dynamic signals long-term potential rather than fleeting passion. He sees stability where there was once chaos.
There’s also a protective element in Ridge’s support. Carter is more than a colleague—he’s family in many ways. Ridge wants him to find lasting happiness, and he appears convinced that Daphne offers exactly that. His confidence in their relationship suggests he may even step in to defend it if obstacles arise.
Of course, in the world of B&B, destiny is rarely straightforward. Ridge’s belief that Daphne is “the one” could place pressure on the relationship, especially if secrets or doubts surface. When someone labels a romance as fate, expectations rise—and so do the stakes.
Still, Ridge’s endorsement carries weight. His faith in Daphne may strengthen Carter’s resolve, particularly if challenges threaten their future. Whether his instincts prove right remains to be seen, but for now, Ridge is standing firmly behind the idea that Carter and Daphne are meant to be.
And if Ridge is correct, this could mark the beginning of Carter’s most meaningful love story yet.
