Spoilers for Dutton Ranch episode 7 ahead.
As far as fictional parties go, 10 Petal ranch’s 190-year anniversary bash in Dutton Ranch episode 7 was pretty tame.
Most of it went without a hitch, with even Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) blending into the background. Rob-Will (Jai Courtney) returned home to bully mom Beulah (Annette Bening) into changing her plans for the ranch’s successor… and it works.
Shortly after Beulah announces that Rob-Will will be taking her place — and almost everybody else around them has objected — Beulah falls to the floor, potentially on the brink of death.
All has yet to be revealed in the Yellowstone spinoff, but Dutton Ranch fans have been distracted by something (and someone) much more unfulfilling. Does the new Paramount+ show need a drastic shakeup already?
Dutton Ranch fans want to see less of Carter — and his painful on-off romance with Oreana
Yep, that’s right — Dutton Ranch fans are practically begging for Beth and Rip’s adopted “son” Carter (Finn Little) to have less screentime.
“I know I should care about Carter as I used to on Yellowstone. But in my opinion, there are too many scenes with him and not enough of the other characters. Honestly, he bores me,” one fan posted on Reddit.
A second agreed, “His character is poorly written this time and that combined with Oreana (Natalie Alyn Lind) makes it a hard watch. I hope it develops a bit but I don’t expect too much.”
“Yeah, teenage angst is not why I watch,” a third chipped in.
Up until episode 5, Carter’s healthy screentime made sense. He needed to get settled into Rio Paloma, and he’s the only character who actively protests against the family’s move from Montana.
He was also embroiled in the death of Dwight (Ray McKinnon), which has emphasized his internal battle between being a boy and a man. But for many, it’s this that is Dutton Ranch’s “toughest watch.”
“Love the show but I hope the high school subplot ends soon,” one fan writes, as another adds, “I get the whole teenage angst thing. But he’s still an annoying little sh*t.”
A third weighs in, “I was hoping the Dwight situation would be a subplot like Joe Exotic or something interesting. The older gf looks 30 and it’s not as interesting unless Beth goes after her soon and takes care of it.”
With Oreana now seemingly gravitating towards another love interest, Carter’s teen angst could actually be kicked up a notch. But with two episodes of Dutton Ranch left to go, anything is possible.
