The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers tease that on the Monday, October 7 episode Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) celebrated their dismal dating histories by sharing a kiss.

This surprising lip lock has the potential to end in disaster or become a spectacular success. Who doesn’t root for the underdog? Both Hope and Carter are lovelorn underdogs, enjoying one failed romance after another.

Most recently Hope kissed married John Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) so what does it say for Carter that he admitted he knows about the kiss then immediately goes in for a smooch anyway? Here’s what Noelle told Soap Opera Digest about the trajectory Cope could be about to take.

First off, Noelle was thrilled when she learned that she and Saint-Victor would be sharing scenes: “I’m really excited to get to work with him in a more layered setting than just, you know, filing divorce papers.”

She is a Carter fan, saying “he really deserves to be front and center. And I’m really excited to see where the storyline goes and I’m excited for the fans to see how this all unveils. I’ve seen a lot of theories and so I’m excited to see the fan reaction to it all.”

Many fans were surprised by the Cope kiss which came out of nowhere. Noelle describes the interaction as “one of those things where it goes from friendship to flirtation to, ‘Oh, I think there might be something there, there might be a little spark.’”

Hope’s last relationship with a co-worker didn’t end so well. Her former fling, Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) is in Paris with Paris Buckingham (Diamond White).

Will he return to find that Hope has moved on? It will be interesting to see how Thomas responds to a Cope relationship given that he is engaged to Paris after Hope rejected his marriage proposal.

And how does Noelle feel about Hope moving on from her Finn obsession with Carter? It turns out that she wasn’t a big fan of Fope: “I hope that is laid dead and buried. I think it was just very misguided. You know, she was really lost after Thomas left and I think she was just searching for anything to cling on to, to keep her head above water … and unfortunately, it happened to be a drunken kiss with Steffy’s husband!

Speaking to Cope’s possible future, Noelle noted that the soap is looking to show “something that is unique to Hope and Carter, something that isn’t something that has been found with our prior love interests.

We want to find a different dynamic, a different stride, a different kind of rhythm that is Hope and Carter and that that hasn’t necessarily been seen with our characters on the soap before.”
