Carter

Carter is a fictional character of the BBC British soap opera show EastEnders who appeared as a minor antagonist in December 2004.

History
Nothing is known about Carter, other than he is a hitman from Albert Square who works for drug lord John Corley in his criminal empire. Carter is later sent by his boss to meet up with the square's gangland kingpin Andy Hunter and his henchman Eddie to set-up the events of their upcoming drug trade.

However, they face a setback when Andy's drug dealer Paul Trueman gets arrested by the police detectives who are investigating both Andy and Corley. The detectives later force Paul to help them entrap both Andy and Corley in a sting operation. They succeed in getting Corley arrested and jailed, but Andy escapes the sting operation and returns to the square - where Carter is waiting for him. Carter tells Andy about how the set-up has gotten Corley imprisoned, and that Corley never asked a lawyer in response to this; Corley wants to know who grassed him up and then kill them. Carter gives Andy his phone number and instructs him to call once he learns who grassed them up.

Soon enough, Andy learns that Paul grassed him up and informs Carter about this - authorizing him to kill Paul so that Corley wouldn't suspect that Andy is responsible. Carter later confronts Paul and threatens to go after his family unless he accepts his fate. That night, Paul surrenders and allows Carter to take him out of the square. Carter later kills Paul offscreen on Andy's orders with Corley's sanction.
