Bold and the Beautiful’s Lawrence Saint-Victor Lands Major Film Role—But Is He Leaving the Soap? Here’s the Real Story
Fans of The Bold and the Beautiful were recently hit with a mix of excitement and concern after it was revealed that Lawrence Saint-Victor, the actor behind fan-favorite Carter Walton, has landed a brand-new role outside of daytime television. While his Hollywood star continues to rise, many are left wondering: is this the end of Carter on B&B?
Let’s break down what this means for the actor, the character, and the future of the show.
Lawrence Saint-Victor Steps Into Hollywood Spotlight
Things have been looking up lately for Carter Walton on The Bold and the Beautiful. After years of heartbreak, betrayal, and high-stakes boardroom drama, Carter is finally enjoying a peaceful moment. His friendship with Ridge is back on solid ground, the corporate wars are at a standstill, and most notably, he’s now happily engaged to Hope Logan—a coupling that’s steadily growing on fans with each passing episode.
But off-screen, actor Lawrence Saint-Victor is preparing for a new adventure.
The Emmy-nominated star recently announced via Instagram that he’s been cast in a feature film titled Higher Love. The project is set to begin filming on August 4th, and it promises to be a deeply emotional drama filled with love, pain, and spiritual resilience. Saint-Victor will be joining a cast of impressive heavy hitters, including:
-
Dennis Haysbert (The Young and the Restless alum),
-
Telma Hopkins (of sitcom fame),
-
Marilu Henner (a Hallmark staple),
-
Joe Pantoliano (veteran actor from The Sopranos, Memento, and more).
The story centers around a devoted husband whose life is turned upside down when his wife experiences a serious health crisis. As he’s forced to choose between two impossible options, he enters a world of caregiving, solitude, and unexpected companionship that challenges everything he thought he knew about love and faith.
The film is shaping up to be a touching, potentially tear-jerking experience—and one that could put Saint-Victor in the mainstream spotlight in a powerful new way.
Support Pours in from Soap Stars and Fans
News of Saint-Victor’s new role was met with enthusiastic support from his daytime soap colleagues. Fellow actors from B&B, General Hospital, and Days of Our Lives flooded his social media with congratulatory messages, including:
-
Matthew Atkinson (Thomas Forrester),
-
Rain Edwards (ex-Nicole Avant),
-
Sandy Wilson (General Hospital),
-
Sheri Jimenez (Days of Our Lives),
-
Dylon Demetz, and others.
It’s a testament to the deep camaraderie in the daytime TV world, and to how well-respected Saint-Victor is both on and off set.
Is He Leaving The Bold and the Beautiful?
The burning question on every fan’s mind: Is Carter leaving?
The good news is—no, Lawrence Saint-Victor isn’t leaving The Bold and the Beautiful. At least, not permanently. According to multiple sources, including the actor himself, his participation in Higher Love may require him to take a brief hiatus from the soap. However, the break is expected to be minimal, and many viewers likely won’t even notice a gap in Carter’s storyline.
So rest assured, Carter and Hope’s blossoming romance isn’t getting cut short anytime soon. Fans can expect to see Saint-Victor back on their screens—and on the new B&B set—very soon.
A Major Move Behind the Scenes
Speaking of the new set, The Bold and the Beautiful is undergoing its own behind-the-scenes transformation. After nearly four decades at CBS Television City, the show has officially moved its production to Sunset Las Palmas Studios.
This change marks the end of an era for the cast and crew—especially for Lawrence Saint-Victor, who has worked on the same set for 13 years. In a heartfelt post, he described the emotional process of packing up his dressing room, which once belonged to B&B legend Rena Sofer (ex-Quinn).
“Stage 31 has been our creative playground,” he wrote. “Saying goodbye was emotional.”
He recalled the first time he stepped into CBS Television City, the warm welcome he received from fellow cast members, and the invaluable advice shared by industry veterans like John McCook (Eric Forrester).
That dressing room held the memories of many iconic Carter scenes—especially during his passionate and often scandalous storyline with Quinn. Letting go of that space clearly struck a sentimental chord for the actor.
“Thank you, TVC. You’ll always have a special place in my heart,” he added.
What’s Next for Carter and B&B?
With production moving to Sunset Las Palmas, fans can expect subtle (and maybe not-so-subtle) changes in the visual look of the show. Set designs could get a fresh update, new locations might be introduced, and the lighting or camera work could subtly shift to reflect the change in studios.
And with Carter and Hope’s relationship heating up, Ridge’s story evolving, and major family dynamics in flux, the show is clearly entering a new chapter—not just physically, but narratively too.
Final Thoughts: A Career on the Rise
Lawrence Saint-Victor is proving that it’s possible to balance daytime success with new opportunities in film and primetime. His role in Higher Love could be the stepping stone to even more complex, emotionally rich parts outside the soap world, while still holding onto the character that’s made him a household name among B&B fans.
Carter Walton may be a fixture in Forrester Creations, but Lawrence Saint-Victor’s career is reaching far beyond the fictional walls of that fashion house. And fans are here for every moment of it.
