Why is one actor playing the same character on Finding Carter and The Fosters?
Teen shows tend to have the same story lines: Every show has a pregnancy-scare episode, a big-dance-gone-awry moment. Something about taking — perhaps failing? — a driver's test, and the SATs, and maybe the Time We Got Drunk. So it's not so strange that two current teen-oriented shows are covering similar territory. But MTV's Finding Carter and ABC Family's The Fosters aren't just moving through identical stories in which one of our main characters has (impulsive, not premeditated) sex with her sister's kinda-sorta-ex-boyfriend for whom there are still strong feelings. What's striking is that the same actor (Alex Saxon) is playing said kinda-sorta-ex-boyfriend on both shows.
