Attorney Carter Walton first arrived in Los Angeles to visit his adoptive brother Marcus Forrester (Texas Battle) and quickly got involved in helping Marcus' wife, Dayzee Leigh (Kristolyn Lloyd), with a special project (via Soap Central). Dayzee's friend Maya Avant (Karla Mosley) had given up a baby for adoption when she was wrongly incarcerated and was now searching for her child. While lending his legal expertise to Maya, Carter became interested in her and the two started a flirtation — despite the fact that she was clearly hung up on Rick Forrester (Jacob Young).
Carter and Maya grew closer romantically while reading a script for the web series "Room8" that they were acting in (which their portrayers Lawrence Saint-Victor and Karla Mosley had created in real life — how meta!). Their relationship became more serious and Carter eventually proposed, blind to the fact that Maya wasn't exactly thrilled to be walking down the aisle and was only trying to distract herself from the fact that Rick was marrying Caroline Spencer II (Linsey Godfrey), according to Soaps in Depth.
Though Carter thought his relationship was smooth-sailing, he soon found out that Maya had tried to seduce Rick, and promptly broke off their engagement. Later, he also discovered that Maya was a transgender woman and was hurt that she had never shared that information with him during their relationship. However, Maya and Rick found their way to each other eventually and Carter supported the couple when they were married in 2015.
