DAPHNE ROSE HAS SOMETHING TO TELL CARTER WALTON AND WE’RE BRACING FOR IMPACT

TL;DR: Daphne Rose makes a revelation on Tuesday’s Bold and the Beautiful, and given that Carter Walton JUST proposed after they barely started dating, we’re guessing she’s about to pump the brakes. Plus, Sheila shows up unannounced at Taylor’s (RUN, GIRL), and Deke and Katie bond as kindred spirits!

Carter Walton’s Knee Is About to Be Very Sad

Oh no. OH NO. Bold and the Beautiful fans, Tuesday’s episode has Daphne Rose making a revelation to Carter Walton, and considering this man JUST got down on one knee after they barely started dating, we have a feeling this “revelation” is going to be something along the lines of “Sir, we haven’t even had a proper third date yet.”

Carter Walton proposed to Daphne Rose with a whole speech about love and not pushing her away, and Daphne sat there probably thinking “We JUST made this official?!” Because here’s the thing about Carter: the man treats proposing like other people treat saying “I like you.” It’s just something he does. Regularly. To everyone. The MOMENT feelings develop.

Carter Walton: Professional Proposer

Let’s take a moment to appreciate Carter Walton’s romantic track record, shall we? This man has proposed to more women than most people have had serious relationships. Zoe? Proposed. Paris? Proposed. Quinn? Complicated but essentially proposed. Hope? Ring was basically OUT. And now Daphne Rose, a woman he’s known for two years but JUST started dating.

That’s the thing! Carter and Daphne have known each other for a while. They’ve worked together. They’ve been in each other’s orbits. But the second they go from colleagues to couple, Carter’s already shopping for rings. The man speedruns relationships like he’s going for a world record. “Getting to know you” phase? Never heard of her. “Taking things slow”? Not in Carter’s vocabulary.

Lawrence Saint-Victor must have a permanent bruise on that knee at this point. Carter doesn’t believe in the “let’s see where this goes” phase of dating. He believes in “let’s see where this goes… TO THE ALTAR. IMMEDIATELY.”

Daphne Rose Seems Like She Has Sense

Here’s what we know about Daphne Rose: she’s smart, she’s gorgeous, and she knows Carter is on the rebound from Hope Logan. She also works at Forrester, which means she’s definitely heard the office gossip about Carter’s proposal addiction. Two years of watching this man fall in love at warp speed with various women? Daphne knows exactly what she’s dealing with.

A revelation could mean a lot of things. Maybe Daphne has a secret she needs to share before things get serious. Maybe she’s about to tell Carter she’s not ready for marriage. Maybe she’s going to suggest they try, oh, we don’t know, actually DATING for more than a few weeks before picking out china patterns?

Thursday’s spoilers say “Daphne attempts to let Carter down,” so yeah. Carter Walton is about to get his heart gently placed back in his chest with a note that says “I like you, but can we maybe go to dinner a few more times first?” And honestly? Good for Daphne Rose. Someone needs to teach this man about pacing.

Sheila Shows Up at Taylor’s and We’re STRESSED

In absolutely terrifying news, Taylor Hayes worries when Sheila Carter shows up unannounced on Tuesday. WORRIES?! She should be FLEEING! Sheila literally told Li she would KILL Taylor if anything happened between her and Deacon. And now Sheila is just… showing up at Taylor’s door? Uninvited? Unannounced? Like a murderous girl scout selling cookies made of threats?

Taylor just confessed to Steffy that she has feelings for Deacon. Sheila is married to Deacon. Sheila has already “killed” Taylor once before. This is not a social visit. This is Sheila doing reconnaissance, and Taylor should be very, very nervous.

Deke and Katie: The Underdog Alliance Forms

Finally, in actually heartwarming news, Deke Sharpe and Katie Logan realize they are kindred spirits on Tuesday. Both of them have been kicked around by the Forresters and Logans, both of them have something to prove, and both of them are hungry for success on their own terms.

This is clearly the beginning of Katie recruiting Deke for her fashion house. They’re bonding over being underdogs, and soon they’ll be bonding over destroying Brooke and Forrester’s dominance. We love a revenge alliance built on mutual respect and shared trauma!
