Is Carter and Quinn leaving bold and beautiful?

Will “Quarter” make an exit together?

After a cryptic social media post left fans on tenterhooks amid concern that the Bold & Beautiful star was on her way out, Rena Sofer confirmed her exit as Quinn in a subsequent post and explained her reasons for leaving.

It seemed a shocking development, but then again, maybe not so much when you look back on her character’s recent storyline.

Quinn tried valiantly to save her floundering marriage to Forrester patriarch Eric but the issues that had led to her having an affair with his COO Carter proved to be too much for them to overcome. Eric turned to his ex-wife Donna and took to sneaking off for romps in a bungalow at the health club under the guise of a newly-discovered love of pickleball.

Quinn, unfortunately, uncovered exactly what was causing her husband’s sudden heart rate spikes when a waiter at the club inadvertently revealed that the pickleball court was closed. Quinn, along with Eric’s daughter Bridget, proceeded to get an eyeful of Eric and Donna mid-pillow fight — a scene that left little doubt as to what was going on between the two.

Rather than belabor the break-up, Eric and Quinn said their goodbyes in a couple of quick scenes and he urged her to go be with Carter. Quinn took a comical bicycle ride to Il Giardino, where Carter was about to tie the knot with Paris, and just in the nick of time, stopped the wedding and declared her love.

Once again, the scenes unfolded at a breakneck pace, with Carter and Quinn reconciling, dealing with the jilted Paris and her mother in a single episode, and bundling off to the loft to “celebrate” their reunion.

It appeared as though a Quinn/Donna rivalry storyline might be heating up at Forrester Creations, but once again, after a single confrontation, the writers seemingly backed away. Now we know why.

The news that Sofer is out as Quinn has left fans of her popular pairing with Carter — affectionately known as “Quarter” — wondering what will become of her other half.

Might Lawrence Saint-Victor, whose character is a staple on Bold & Beautiful, be leaving his role of Carter as well?

We’d hate to see him go, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility that the loved-up couple would depart together. Saint-Victor has been doing a lot of directing and may remain on behind the scenes if Carter is written off.

If Carter does stay, we have to assume he’s going to be left heartbroken — again! — by Quinn’s departure, which we would also hate to see.

So, what do we know? We know that Quinn and Carter will get busted kissing at Forrester Creations, which could be a precursor to the pair deciding to leave the company or even Los Angeles.

If it leads to a confrontation between Carter and Eric, it could be the catalyst for Quinn deciding to take off on her own after deciding she simply can’t stay and be the cause of a rift between the longtime friends and colleagues.

Do you think Quinn and Carter will leave together? Or is Carter about to be left devastated by Quinn’s decision to go? Let us know in the comment section.

It’s coming.

Bold & Beautiful’s Carter and Quinn made an unexpected connection, with Lawrence Saint-Victor and Rena Sofer sharing the kind of onscreen chemistry that is almost magical. As the pair fell into an affair, fans were captivated by the couple and began rooting for Quinn to leave her marriage to Eric to be with Carter. It happened eventually, but now we’re in a really strange place where something has to — and is about to — give.

Quinn finally made the choice to be with the man of her dreams after catching Eric romping with Donna, a scenario we were kind of expecting after McCook dropped a huge hint about which woman would be Eric’s endgame.

In a comedic and desperate race against time, Quinn rushed from the health club to Il Giardino on a bicycle to stop Carter’s wedding to Paris — his attempt at moving on from his true love. In what was the closest call you’d ever want to see, Quinn made it just before they were pronounced husband and wife and she and Carter were reunited in a heartbeat — literally — it was one of the speediest wrap-ups we’ve seen on Bold & Beautiful.

The pair were gloriously happy in the aftermath, with the smiles on their faces only being wiped off briefly when Quinn tangled with Donna at Forrester Creations. Now, this was a rivalry we’d love to have seen more of but, alas, it was not to be.

Viewers began to realize that something was off with Quinn and Carter’s story, what with the quickie resolutions, and before we knew it the news broke that Rena Sofer had confirmed her exit as Quinn and would be leaving Bold & Beautiful. What was to become of “Quarter” and Carter after she was gone?

Not knowing how she’d be written out left us doing a lot of unnerving speculation, and while Sofer’s exit was an even bigger shock than we ever could have expected given that there was no exit at all written for Quinn, unfortunately, we’re taking a return trip to the unknown with a foreboding upcoming spoiler.

In SOD’s Fall Preview, it was revealed that “Carter’s life turns upside-down in a minute.” Guess what? It’s Fall and this ominous teaser is suddenly looming. What does it mean?

While his world would be rocked by Quinn being recast and suddenly having a new face, it probably means that the character of Quinn is going to be killed off.

We can’t help but wish that if they were going this way, they’d have gone before Sofer left, so we could at least see have seen her die in Carter’s arms. We know, we know, but it would have been devastatingly soapy.

Of course, it’s possible Carter’s world will be upended by Quinn suddenly disappearing or breaking up with him and leaving town, thus leaving the door open for a Sofer return in the future, but it’s going to be a stretch to believably explain why she’d do such a thing when the character finally has her heart’s desire.

Perhaps Carter’s life being turned upside-down will have nothing to do with Quinn and instead with his career… or as some fans have speculated in the past, Paris announcing she got pregnant when they last hooked up. Hmm… how long has it been?
