Who Is the Love Of Hope’s Life On Bold and the Beautiful?
Hope has had many loves on The Bold and the Beautiful. However, Daphne proclaimed that Carter was the love of Hope’s life. Yet, she doesn’t treat him like he is. Hope had no idea that Carter was guilty about stealing Forrester Creations. Does Hope truly love Carter? Or is there someone else she always loved?
Learning To Cope
Hope (Annika Noelle) rushed into a fast-paced relationship with Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor). She loved the attention that he was giving her. Up to this point, she’s had bad luck with her love life lately. Hope’s relationship with Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) quickly folded after she rejected his numerous proposals. Suddenly, their hot and steamy affair wasn’t enticing once it was out in the open.
Then, Hope wanted Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan). She loved their secret meetings where he would give her an invigorating head massage. (Remember when Hope had those nasty headaches?) Those massages felt so good that Hope had inappropriate fantasies about Finn. (There’s a reason why Hope likes secret affairs on B&B.) She mistook Finn’s kindness for flirting. She drunkenly kissed him during one of Forresters’ rocking parties.
Back To Lope?
Of course, there have been other men over the years, like Wyatt (Darin Brooks) and Oliver Jones (Zack Conroy). Somehow, Steffy alwasys wormed her way in the middle. That was also the case with Hope’s relationship with Liam (Scott Clifton). That marked the beginning of their decades-long love triangle. Despite the drama, Hope’s longest relationship was with Liam.
The exes overcame a lot. But their marriage came to an end when Hope was tired of Liam’s waffling ways. She wanted a man with an undivided heart. And she’s found herself in the middle of a new love triangle. This time, she’s fighting Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) over Carter. Daphne can tell that Carter is one of Hope’s greatest loves. But is he, really? Hope would willingly drop him and run back to Liam, if he wasn’t such a flip-flopper.
The Nissan Sentra is an affordable car that doesn’t look cheap. It has a handsome exterior and a classier interior than you might expect. Plus, its front seats are uncommonly comfortable for its class, and the spacious trunk is usefully sized. The Sentra also boasts impressive highway fuel economy. On paper it’s a great little car, but it suffers from bland driving-itis, an affliction for which there is no cure with its current setup, a 149-hp four-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission. Rivals such the Mazda 3 or Honda Civic eclipse the Sentra in fun-to-drive quotient, and the hybrid Toyota Prius is far more fuel efficient. But if price is your number one concern, the Nissan is still a solid choice.
The Sentra is identical to the previous model year except for two upgrades. The SV trim now includes NissanConnect, which includes access to Nissan’s app integration and a Wi-fi hotspot. To match some rivals, Nissan is also now including up to three free oil changes for two years or the first 24,000 miles.
The Sentra S comes with plenty of standard features, but moving up to the mid-level SV trim doesn’t change the price much and is worth the additional tech, which includes adaptive cruise control and dual-zone automatic climate control. We’d also upgrade it further with the SV Premium package that adds heated front seats, quilted leather upholstery, a leather shift knob, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, an upgraded audio system, and a sunroof.
Every Sentra is powered by a 149-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that pairs with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. While the gearless automatic simulates traditional gear changes, the Sentra we tested was noisy and slow, especially when trying to pass at highway speeds. There’s not a lot of entertainment behind the wheel, either. Steering effort is weighty and predictable, but it’s nowhere near as communicative as in rivals such as the Honda Civic and Mazda 3. The Nissan features an independent rear suspension and wheel sizes that range from 16 to 18 inches. The version we drove rolled on the largest set, which contributed to a firm ride quality and excessive road noise. Still, the Sentra is comfortable and compliant for daily commutes and weekend trips. We were especially impressed with its braking system. It delivered a reassuring pedal feel and solid stopping power from 70 mph, coming to a halt in a class-competitive 170 feet.
In our testing, the Sentra SR got to 60 mph in a sluggish 8.9 seconds. That matches up with the Honda Civic’s base powertrain but lags behind other quicker competitors including the Mazda 3.
The EPA estimates the 2025 Sentra’s fuel economy at 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway for the S and SV trims. The SR trim drops the highway rating to 38 mpg. Those are competitive numbers in the compact segment, but the Toyota Corolla tops the list with 32 mpg city and 41 highway. The Sentra SR that we ran on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route—part of our extensive testing regimen—achieved 37 mpg. However, the Corolla XSE sedan we tested returned an even more frugal 41 mpg. For more information about the Sentra’s fuel economy, visit the EPA’s website.
Inside, the Sentra has one of the prettier designs in this segment. The center of the dashboard hosts a trio of circular air vents above the easy-to-use climate controls. The interior materials are a mix of soft and hard plastics, but the former cover the surfaces that count and help mask the rest. Models with the quilted leather upholstery look especially upscale. Nissan also coddles passengers in the front with its extra-comfy Zero Gravity seats, which are spacious, pliant, and supportive. Opting for the available sunroof cuts into the cabin’s headroom but otherwise, adults have ample space in the front and back. We also managed to fit seven carry-on suitcases in the Sentra’s 14-cubic-foot trunk; that’s one more than the Corolla sedan held.
A touchscreen sprouts from the middle of every Sentra’s dashboard, and it’s supplemented by physical volume and tuning knobs. While the base model features a smaller 7.0-inch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, there’s also an available 8.0-inch screen on SV and SR trims and USB access in the front and back seats. The larger display is also compatible with better options including SiriusXM satellite radio, an eight-speaker Bose stereo, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
