The Bold and the Beautiful: Carter pushes surrogacy scheme to hide pregnancy

In The Bold and the Beautiful, Carter Walton is attempting to implement a surrogacy scheme to conceal a secret pregnancy. Following a one-night stand, Steffy Forrester is pregnant with Carter’s child. To protect their respective marriages, Carter has proposed that Steffy act as an egg donor and surrogate for his wife, Daphne Rose, who is experiencing premature menopause. Although Steffy initially refused the plan, Carter has begun pitching the idea to Daphne behind Steffy’s back.

Speculation surrounds whether Steffy’s calculations regarding her pregnancy trimester are accurate, as a discrepancy could reveal that the child is actually Finn Finnegan’s rather than Carter’s. Meanwhile, in The Young and the Restless, plot developments involve Matt Clark leaving a letter for Phyllis, and Patty Williams sending a package containing a stuffed cat to the Abbott mansion as she prepares to leave town.
