Character Bio
When we first met Carlos, he was a high-powered executive whose neglect of his wife led to her affair with their teenage gardener. After a stint in jail for dubious business practices, Carlos had an affair of his own, with the maid Gabrielle had convinced to bear their surrogate child.
The two divorced and Gaby began seeing Victor, the town's mayor, while Carlos began an affair with Edie Britt. But on her wedding day to Victor, Gabrielle and Carlos secretly resumed their torrid romance.
Victor tried to kill Carlos, but a timely tornado took Victor out -- and left Carlos blind. He and Gaby remarried and, to her shock and his delight, she became pregnant, not once but twice. Still blind but finally fulfilled as a father, Carlos found work at the local country club as a masseur.
Another blow to the head and a successful surgery later, Carlos' s sight was restored. He yearned to work with the blind at the local community center, but Gabrielle insisted he start bringing in the big bucks again, to make up for five years of penny-pinching. Carlos reluctantly agreed, and the two were right back where they started, rich but miserable.
