The Bold and the Beautiful actor Lawrence Saint-Victor expressed his hope that the show would explore a specific storyline for his character, Carter Walton. He pointed out certain traits that Carter harbors and said that exploring the storyline could explain the reasoning behind it.
Here’s the storyline that the actor wants explored on the show.
Lawrence Saint-Victor wants Bold and Beautiful to explore Carter’s family and past
Lawrence Saint-Victor has played Carter Walton on The Bold and the Beautiful for more than a decade now. He joined the show in 2013 and has been a recurring character ever since. While he has found a family among the Forresters, there is very little information about his biological family. The actor believes that the show should explore his past, particularly his early life.
In an interview with Soaps.com, Saint-Victor said, “I would love to get into Carter’s family life. Like, why is he the way he is?” He added, “He’s a very interesting character to me [because he] presents himself as so good and so earnest and so perfect. But then, when he’s in these relationships, it almost looks like he’s trying too hard.”
The 43-year-old went on to explain that he suspects something “broken” within Carter that motivated him to work harder. He said that it might have something to do with Carter’s family history.
While discussing Carter’s past, the actor teased that he might not have had a healthy relationship with his parents. He pointed out that Carter’s brother, Marcus, was on a journey to locate his biological parents, which further supports the idea of a difficult upbringing. “It was like there was something that he was getting away from,” the Stepford Sidechix actor shared.
Saint-Victor further speculated that their relationship with their parents must have been very “toxic”. He reasoned that while one brother is searching for his “real family,” the other is focused on making a career far away from them. He added that Carter believes he “deserves happiness.”
