The Shocking 'Kisses' Accusation: How B&B Star Lawrence Saint-Victor Fired Back At Fans

Contents
In a dramatic turn that proves the line between fiction and reality is often blurred in the world of daytime television, "The Bold and the Beautiful" star Lawrence Saint-Victor recently took to social media to shut down a highly personal and "insulting" fan accusation. The controversy, which exploded in November 2024, centers on the actor's dual role as both the beloved character, attorney Carter Walton, and a member of the show’s writing team. This unique position led one detractor to launch a shocking claim: that Saint-Victor was using his writer's power to manipulate storylines for his own benefit. The accusation wasn't just about general favoritism; it was a specific and sensational claim that the actor was intentionally writing his character, Carter Walton, into numerous romantic storylines and love scenes simply to "kiss all the actresses." Lawrence Saint-Victor’s swift and firm response on X (formerly Twitter) has since become a major talking point among the B&B fanbase, forcing a discussion about the creative process, the nature of fan speculation, and the respect due to actors and writers in the soap opera industry.

Lawrence Saint-Victor: Actor, Writer, and Soap Opera Veteran

Lawrence Saint-Victor is a cornerstone of the modern "The Bold and the Beautiful" cast, known for his compelling portrayal of Carter Walton. His career in daytime television, however, spans back long before his arrival in Los Angeles.

  • Full Name: Lawrence Saint-Victor
  • Role on B&B: Carter Walton (Attorney at Forrester Creations)
  • B&B Tenure (Actor): Since 2013
  • B&B Tenure (Writer): Joined the writing team in 2015
  • Previous Soap Role: Remy Boudreau on "Guiding Light" (2006–2009)
  • Notable Storylines: His complex relationships with Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer), Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes), Paris Buckingham (Diamond White), and most recently, Hope Logan (Annika Noelle).
  • Other Work: He is also an accomplished writer, producer, and director, with credits outside of daytime, including the film The Accused.

Saint-Victor’s transition from a full-time actor to an actor-writer hybrid is a rare and celebrated achievement in the industry. However, this unique dual role—being both on-screen talent and a contributor to the narrative—is precisely what fueled the recent fan controversy.

The Shocking 'Kisses' Accusation and Saint-Victor's Defense

The core of the recent social media firestorm was an accusation that went beyond typical fan complaints about a character's storyline. It was a direct, personal attack on Saint-Victor's professional integrity and motives. The fan suggested that Carter Walton's frequent romantic entanglements were not organic plot developments but rather a deliberate scheme by the actor-writer.

The fan, operating under the assumption that Saint-Victor possessed the authority to dictate his character's entire arc, accused him of using his "power as a writer to write myself into love scenes so I can kiss all the actresses." This sensational claim quickly gained traction, forcing the typically reserved star to issue a public clarification.

In his response on X, Saint-Victor did not mince words. He addressed the "fan" directly, providing context for his decision to speak out. He called the accusation what it was: an "insulting statement" that completely disregards the collaborative nature of soap opera writing. He firmly refuted the notion that any actor, regardless of their position on the writing team, has the unilateral power to manipulate the script for personal gain.

The actor's defense highlighted a critical, often misunderstood, aspect of daytime drama production: the writing process is a team effort. A head writer and a team of writers, led by executive producer Brad Bell, are responsible for the overall story bible, character arcs, and dialogue. While Saint-Victor is a valued contributor to this team, the suggestion that he could single-handedly orchestrate his character’s love life for superficial reasons is a dramatic oversimplification of the complex creative structure at B&B.

The Carter Walton Effect: Why Fans Care So Much About His Love Life

The intensity of the fan reaction is a testament to the character's popularity and the compelling nature of his storylines. Carter Walton, the handsome and reliable attorney at Forrester Creations, has been at the center of some of B&B's most dramatic romantic sagas in recent years. This history provides the backdrop for the fan’s specific accusation.

Carter's love life has been a rollercoaster, involving some of the show's most prominent female characters. His intense, forbidden affair with Quinn Fuller (known to fans as "Queric" or "Quarter") was a major storyline that captivated audiences for years. Following that, he had relationships with Zoe Buckingham and her sister, Paris Buckingham, and most recently, a surprising, albeit brief, connection with Hope Logan.

The recurring pattern of Carter being involved in high-stakes, passionate relationships has led some segments of the fanbase to question the narrative direction. For a character who spent years as a reliable supporting player, his sudden elevation to the leading man in a series of dramatic couplings has been noteworthy. This shift, which coincided with Saint-Victor joining the writing team, is likely what fueled the conspiracy theory that he was pulling the strings.

However, many viewers and critics argue that the storylines are simply a reflection of Carter’s status as a desirable and available bachelor in the dramatic landscape of the show. Furthermore, the character's journey from a perpetually unlucky-in-love attorney to a central romantic figure is a classic soap opera trope, designed to generate maximum drama and viewer engagement.

Topical Authority and The Business of Soap Opera Storytelling

Lawrence Saint-Victor's response serves as a valuable insight into the business of soap opera storytelling. The accusations touch upon the delicate balance between creative control, character development, and fan expectations.

The Collaborative Writing Room: The B&B writing team is a tight-knit unit. Their job is to craft compelling narratives that keep millions of viewers tuning in daily. Every storyline, including Carter's love scenes, is a collective decision, vetted and approved by the highest levels of production. The idea that a single actor-writer could hijack the script to facilitate a personal agenda is simply not how the process works in a major CBS Daytime production.

The Power of the Fan: While the accusation was unfounded and insulting, it underscores the passionate relationship between soap opera fans and the characters they love. Viewers feel a deep, personal connection to the storylines, leading to intense speculation and, occasionally, the creation of elaborate theories to explain narrative choices they dislike. The fan reaction to the Carter and Hope storyline, for instance, was mixed, proving that every romantic pairing will inevitably generate both support and criticism.

The Professional Response: By addressing the rumor head-on, Lawrence Saint-Victor not only defended his own professional integrity but also provided a moment of clarity for the entire B&B production. His measured, yet firm, refusal to let the "insulting" rumor stand ensures that the focus remains on his excellent work as both an actor and a writer, rather than on baseless personal attacks. His dedication to his craft, both in front of and behind the camera, continues to make Carter Walton one of the most dynamic characters on daytime television.
