For years, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) has been one of The Bold and the Beautiful’s most unlucky-in-love characters. From Quinn to Zoe to Katie – and most recently Hope – Carter has faced one heartbreak after another. With his engagement to Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) now broken off, fans are asking the burning question: is Carter leaving the CBS soap?
Carter’s Fate on B&B
The good news? Carter isn’t going anywhere. Despite Hope walking away to reunite with Liam, actor Lawrence Saint-Victor has confirmed ties to the soap that extend far beyond his on-screen role.
In 2021, Saint-Victor officially joined the show’s writing team, giving him a vital creative role in shaping storylines. Most recently, he celebrated being part of the team that penned the very first episode filmed at The Bold and the Beautiful’s new home, Sunset Las Palmas Studios. With this dual role as both actor and writer, Carter is firmly planted in the show’s future.
What’s Next for Carter?
Hope’s reunion with Liam has long been foreshadowed, especially with Beth pulling her parents closer together. For Carter, that means heartbreak once again – but it also opens the door for a fresh start.
Fans who have been watching closely will remember Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), the woman originally hired by Steffy to seduce and sabotage Carter. What began as manipulation quickly turned into real feelings, with Daphne confessing she wanted more. Carter, however, chose Hope.
Now, with Hope out of the picture, The Bold and the Beautiful is setting the stage for a Carter–Daphne romance. Their recent heart-to-heart at Il Giardino, where Daphne encouraged him after his split, strongly hinted that their story is only beginning.
The Bottom Line
Despite the heartbreak, Carter Walton isn’t leaving The Bold and the Beautiful. Instead, he’s stepping into what could be one of his most compelling storylines yet – a second chance at love, this time with Daphne.
For now, fans can rest easy knowing that Lawrence Saint-Victor’s future with the show is secure, both on and off screen.
New Audi and Hot Wheels Collab Lets You Build Two Ingolstadt Legends
It’s impossible to have a conversation about the best cars to come out of Bavaria without mentioning Audi once or twice. From legendary street cars to dominant race cars in nearly every discipline of motorsports, the four-ring brand has offered up some absolute icons. The RS2 Avant and R8 LMS are two prime examples. While most of us will never own a limited-production turbo five-cylinder wagon or a four-time Nürburgring 24 Hour winner, Audi and Mattel have teamed up to give the masses buildable models of both.
Each model comes as a part of Hot Wheels’ parent company Mattel’s Brick Shop product range, which is similar to Lego’s line of brick-by-brick-built vehicles. Unlike a box-ready Hot Wheels, there’s some assembly required before they’re ready to enter the 24 Hours of Hardwood Floor.
Mattel
While Mattel doesn’t list the piece count for either, the RS2 Avant is the smaller (and likely easier to build) of the pair as a 1:32-scale model. For being so small, the Brick Shop RS2 doesn’t lose much fidelity compared with the real thing. The model comes in a rich blue color—similar to the real car’s signature Nogaro Blue hue—and rides on tiny Porsche Cup wheels wrapped in officially licensed Toyo Proxes R888R rubber. Other details include a removable greenhouse that grants access to the interior, several sticker decals, four opening doors, and hinged front and rear windshields.
The other model is based on the second-generation Audi R8 LMS and is twice the size of the RS2 at 1:16 scale. With its bigger form factor, Mattel was able to cram more detail into the R8 model, which features a functional steering wheel, opening doors, and a functional engine hatch that lifts to expose a blocky replica of the real race car’s 5.2-liter V-10. It also features changeable aero components and wears the iconic yellow and white livery made famous by the Group B Quattro S1 and the #39 R8 LMS Nürburgring 24 Hour entry from 2023.
Both models are currently available for pre-sale at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and the Mattel website, but they won’t officially hit shelves until later this fall. The RS2 Avant will sell for $19.99, and the R8 LMS will retail for $49.99.
