We Can’t Stop Thinking About Hope and Carter on Bold and the Beautiful
Carter begged for Hope’s heart back on The Bold and the Beautiful. When they embraced on the Friday, May 2 episode, Hope looked hesitant. Does she even still love him? We can’t help but think about this moment and what it could mean.
Holding a Grudge
Hope (Annika Noelle) feels uncertain about taking Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor). She’s still blindsided about the type when he gave the company back to Ridge (Thorsten Kaye). Hope knew that they would immediately fire her from the company.
They had this conversation about it happening. Carter assured Hope that he was still fighting on her behalf, but she still feels hurt by what happened. Also, she can’t trust him after he kissed Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire).
Jaded Heart?
Hope lost her light since her divorce from Liam (Scott Clifton). She declared that she doesn’t want a man with a divided heart, yet she’s done the same. She rejected Thomas’s (Matthew Atkinson) numerous proposals.
Meanwhile, she doesn’t act like she’s in love with Carter. She got infatuated because he was the only guy who was giving her attention. Then, she got off on the power trip when they took part in the Forrester Creations coup.
Move On, Already
Hope doesn’t need to take back Carter. She needs to do some soul searching. At this point, it’s hard to see Hope with anyone else but Liam (Scott Clifton). Now that the coup is over, the relationship is too.
What are your thoughts on Hope and Carter? Do you think Hope is in love with him? Do you think they’ll get back together? Let us know in the comments section.
Outside of the Mustang, Ford doesn’t make cars anymore. Here’s one that some would call its best.
With a manual transmission, all-wheel drive, and a high-strung turbocharged engine, it’s a rally car for the road.
This one is the right color, low mileage, and from the final year for the RS.
Apart from the Mustang (which worryingly has seen a falloff in sales this year), Ford doesn’t sell cars any more, just SUVs, trucks, and crossovers. This is more than a bit of a bummer if you grew up with a small Ford in the driveway, as the company has some great hits in its back catalogue. The original Taurus SHO was kind of like a working-man’s BMW M5, and the last Fiesta ST was more fun that cars costing twice as much. But if forced to pick the last great compact car to wear the blue oval, there’s one obvious choice.
That’s the Focus RS, like this 2018 model for sale on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). This is the last of the breed, a 2018 model in Nitrous Blue, even spec’d without a sunroof for a better center of gravity.
The Focus RS is basically the best WRX STI that Subaru never built. It got a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder good for 350 horsepower, torque-vectoring all wheel drive, and even a selectable Drift mode. It absolutely ripped, equal in performance to Honda’s Civic Type-R but with more grip when the weather wasn’t cooperating.
This is a nicely preserved example with just 46K miles on the odometer. Apart from some lowering springs—from Whiteline, a well-known specialist among the Subaru faithful—it’s pretty much in factory trim with a clean history and no previous collisions noted. There are a few cosmetic blemishes here and there, but that just means you’re free to get out and drive it.
To do so is to experience a higher-tech version of the joy behind an original Escort Cosworth. On this side of the Atlantic, we didn’t get the best quick compacts Ford made, as delivering performance was mostly the job of the Mustang. Overseas, the RS badge was legendary among fast Ford fans, and the Focus RS was our chance at tasting some forbidden fruit.
