Cynthia Watros To Co-Star in MTV's FINDING CARTER Pilot

Former GUIDING LIGHT star Cynthia Watros will co-star in MTV's drama pilot FINDING CARTER, from Emily Silver and Terri Minsky.

FINDING CARTER centers on teenage Carter, who has the perfect life with her fun-loving single mom Lori until a police bust reveals that Lori abducted her as a toddler. Now Carter must return to the family who thought they had lost her, including her biological mother Elizabeth (Watros), a tough police detective who was devastated by the disappearance of her daughter and will stop at nothing to catch her kidnapper. As she navigates brand-new parents, a twin sister, high school and boys, Carter vows to find Lori before the police capture the only mom she’s ever known and put her behind bars.

Watros won a Daytime Emmy Award for her portrayal of Annie Dutton on GUIDING LIGHT, and an Indie Soap Award earlier this year for her playing an extreme version of herself in CYNTHIA WATROS GETS LOST. She begins a stint on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS in November as Kelly, a character that will have "a profound influence on the lives of several characters, including Billy, Victoria and Chloe."

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS star Eric Braeden on Gun Control: "The More Guns That Are Available, the More Tragedies Will Happen"
"My view of guns is very simple. The more guns that are available, the more tragedies will happen. Period. Out. Gone. I know I’m going to hang a lot of people now, but I have to say what I truly believe. I’m very old fashioned that way. If you have disputes, use your fists. Don’t teach kids in school not to fight. That’s all normal. If I were in charge, I’d say to the teacher, 'When you see a bully beat up a smaller boy, tell the bully that you’ll get another boy for him who’s just as strong.' Let the two of them fight it out. Don’t let the bully take it out on the smaller guy. That’s not nice."

"This entire notion of violence being expressed through the barrel of a gun is so unmanly. It is so cowardly, I think."
