Then, he became engaged to Paris Buckingham (Diamond White), but Quinn interrupted the wedding and confessed her love to Carter. Ultimately, he and Quinn parted ways. Now he is engaged to Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). But now that Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) wants her back, will that leave Carter out in the cold again?

Now that Liam realizes his brain tumor was fake and he isn't dying after all, he feels like he has a whole new lease on life. He told Hope he loves her and wants to get back together with her. He wants to be a family with her and Beth (Jordyn Lynn Ariza) again. He's counting on Carter to understand, gracefully accept defeat, and allow his fiancée Hope to simply remove her engagement ring like it's no big deal. Hope was overwhelmed and wasn't sure how to respond to Liam's shocking confession.

What if she realizes she still loves Liam and wants him back? Will Carter once again be left hanging out to dry?

He's come close many times, but something always manages to derail his plans. Were all those girlfriends and fiancées just wrong for him, or is he destined to remain a bachelor?
