Lockett talked about Carver’s mystery woman, Tori (Holly Hinchliffe), but remained mum about how the relationship progresses, saying he didn’t “want to give anything away.” He assessed that Carver’s relationship with Tori is Carver’s way of coping with not being with the person he wants. “Sometimes it’s easier to not have to go forward than it is to, you know, deal with the person that you really [are] into,” he said. But will Carver and Violet find their way to each other? Lockett had this to say:
“In a world where they end up together, which I don’t know what that situation is — we haven’t had that in the scripts — I think he just needs someone who’s willing to meet him where he’s at. I think it would have to be a lot more care on her part and willingness to be honest about where she’s at.”
Lockett teased some drama coming for the duo in Season 13. “There’s gonna be some drama coming, for sure. I’m excited for everyone to watch him grow as a human,” Lockett said.
