Carter and Hope’s relationship took fans by surprise, but there’s more to it than meets the eye.
When The Bold and the Beautiful fans first saw Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle) together, their relationship seemed to explode out of nowhere. But as Lawrence Saint-Victor explains, there’s much more to this love story than a sudden spark. In an interview, the actor delved into the reasons behind Carter’s intense feelings for Hope, and how their connection evolved from long-time friends to passionate lovers.
A Relationship That Didn’t Start Out of Nowhere
While Carter and Hope’s relationship may have felt like a whirlwind to viewers, Saint-Victor assures us it wasn’t as sudden as it appeared. “It really is 0 to 6,” the actor shared, referencing the rapid pace at which their feelings developed. “It’s like, ‘Wow, you guys just met each other, and you’re saying I love you?’ Yeah! But it’s because I’ve known her for 10 years.”
According to Saint-Victor, Carter and Hope’s bond has a long history that predates their romantic involvement. “We already know each other’s deepest secrets,” he explained, emphasizing that there’s no dramatic buildup or unresolved tension like many soap opera couples face. “There’s no ‘Will they, won’t they?’ It’s not that kind of relationship.”
No Time to Waste
Carter and Hope’s relationship may have appeared intense, but there’s a reason for that. Unlike other couples who spend time dating and slowly getting to know each other, Carter and Hope skipped all that. “We didn’t do dinner and drinks,” Saint-Victor revealed. “We went straight to the bedroom.” This fast-paced connection made their bond feel emotionally accelerated, as though they’d been together for years rather than weeks.
Saint-Victor likens their relationship to being “emotionally fast-tracked,” jumping ahead to a deeper connection without all the usual delays. “It’s a very interesting relationship,” he said, “where you have two people who are kind of almost emotionally fast-tracked to being together for like five years.”
A Relationship Based on Trust and History
What makes Carter and Hope’s love story stand out is that they’ve known each other for a long time. The couple shares a history that helps them avoid the drama of starting fresh. They’ve supported each other through ups and downs, and now they’re bringing that solid foundation into their romantic relationship.
For fans wondering if their relationship is too rushed, Saint-Victor believes the deep bond they share makes it feel right.
Is Cope the Right Match?
As their connection grows stronger, many fans are left wondering: Is this whirlwind romance too soon, or is it simply picking up where it should? As Carter and Hope navigate their new chapter, only time will tell how deep their bond truly runs.
