Carter relationships...

[Maité]

I was just wondering how many girlfriends/dates/romantic interests has Carter had?Cause he's had a lot....

If somebody could tell me that would be great...

And another question so I don't have to start another thread: Why is '21 guns' called like that?Why the '21' number?

Well, that's all...thank you in advance!

[carsley]

the one i remember is:
harper (BITCH)
that young britney little sis
abby
kem
dixi chick lover, in kongo

[eriluby]

-that patient with scratches on season 1;
-his cousin's ex, who had breast cancer, on season... 6 I think;
-that insurance seller on season 5;
-Susan;
-Wendall, or something like this... on season 11...

i don't think they were ever an item.

another carter relationship: abby keaton (pediatric surgeon, s3)

and it's called "21 guns" as in a twenty-one gun salute, the sendoff for a soldier who is killed in combat or served. gallant had a 21 gun salute.

[Maité]

Thank you guys!So until now we have 10 for Carter! I don't think that he and the dixie chick girl were an item either. I think they were supposed to be, but at the end he hooked up with Kem.

And thank you so much Maggie for explaining me about 21 guns!

Didn't he have a brief relationship with Lucy Knight as well?

[eriluby]

Yeah, REALLY brief... they only made out in the hospital once, then they chose not to get involved, since she was a med student and he was a resident...

[Praline]

That was a bummer and ER's biggest mistake! I only ever liked Carter when he was interacting with Lucy, I would have loved to have seen them as a couple.

[larue]

Oh touche! I LOVED the whole Carter/Lucy dynamic. Could never figure out why they let her go. I also think she would have made a good Abby side kick........

[maggie]

let's not forget anna del amico. huh...i think that notion of abby as the "er slut" is way off. CARTER is the er slut.

[Caffy]

Yeah, I loved Lucy, it is to my belief (may not be true but I've heared it more than 5 times I think) that Kelly Martin's sister died... And I think towards the end she was getting slightly shortchanged in the scenes... Or something. *Sigh*

Lucy was amazing, I loved her. I have always found Carter arrogent though. Like last season in Africa. He just assumed everything, and I felt like slapping him alot. Anyway yeah.... He dated lots of girls.

... Don't see why. He looks about 12

[lyvanna]

I agree that Carter is quite arrogant, especially towards the end. In the early series he has an innocence/boyish charm and a love for his patients (except for S2) which makes him rather likable, but after the S6 drugs storyline he loses that and becomes more 'dark', which didn't suit him in the likability stakes (plus Goran had just joined the show then so there was another - imo hotter - guy with a darker past who was still likable). As a character I still found him interesting, as I think the change of personality was natural but it didn't really suit him in the popularity stakes.

For the original question in this thread, too many to mention! I think his innocent appearance tends to make people forget that he's probably had more partners and dates that anyone else on the show.

[scarlettandrhett]

I really liked Carter until about the time Mark Greene died, he was so cute and young and caring, then after Mark died he got all high and mighty and then he went to Africa and well I'm sad to say I actually didn't mind that Carter left the ER.

[jennifer]

I think he was dating with Ellen, or Helen (I dont remember her name, I think, she had breast cancer), too.

[scarlettandrhett]

oh right I remeber her she used to be married to Carter's cousin
