In episode 207, Katrina Bowden is featured as Wyatt’s girlfriend, Flo Fulton Logan. She reminds Wyatt, played by the dynamic Darin Brooks, after calling Carter “gorgeous ” 5 times in one minute (even though Carter is “totally not [her] type“) that Wyatt is “even more gorgeous.”

Carter brags to Quinn that though Eric wanted to be rid of the Quinn designed jewelry line, he “fought so hard” to get Eric to keep it. Carter rhetorically explains to Quinn, “I’m a lawyer, I’m good at building a case, your jewelry line isn’t going anywhere.” How hard did he fight? In 15 seconds by saying that killing the jewelry line would cost “tens of millions of dollars,” Eric and Ridge were right with Carter.

How many elements in the Code of Professional Conduct has Carter broken as attorney, if any? Can he represent Eric and Forrester Creations and carry on his affair with Quinn after keeping his Chief Operating Officer role and in-house counsel role while two battles, the divorce from Eric, Chief Executive Office Emeritus and the choice as to whether or not to keep a business line with the to-be-ex-wife’s  part in Eric’s company while staying objective? Is the standard for attorneys that even the appearance of acting in ways that do not violate the American Bar Association’s rules as introduce below and can be found at ABA Rule 1.7 as outlined below and the link provided broken by the actions Carter is taking?
