Christopher Carter

Played by Will Sanderson-Thwaite

Christopher Carter
  • Born: 22 Jun 1988
  • Status: Married to Alice Carter
  • Occupation: Farrier

Ambridge's resident farrier has turned many a local head as he's developed into a good looking and muscular young man.

He tested the water with a variety of pretty girls, from snooty upper class totty Venetia Streatfield to the more earthy Stacey from Meadow Rise, who even Jazzer said he shouldn't touch with a barge pole.

He ended up back at the posh end, with Alice Carter, to his parents' delight and her parents' bemusement. But the Aldridges had to respect his determination to buy the farriery business when Ronnie retired.
