It is hard to undersell the impact that Paramount’s Yellowstone has had on culture, from reigniting the style of the ranch worker in vests and cowboy hats to the revitalized interest in the modern western genre. Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner have taken a gamble on a story about a legacy ranch and the people involved with it facing the changing times. It’s gone on four very successful seasons. Now, with Yellowstone Season 5 on the horizon, Entertainment Weekly reports that Orli Gottesman has been cast as a love interest for a recurring character. 

According to the report, Orli Gottesman will join the cast for Yellowstone Season 5 as Halie, a confident and outgoing girl who will gravitate toward Carter (Finn Little). Her character description says she is someone that will help Carter grow and come out of his shell, always wanting her around and helping him find himself. With Carter being a troubled young kid looking for his place in a world that has seemingly turned its back on him, she may be exactly what he needs to help him find himself and turn his life around at a young age. 

From the moment Carter appeared in Season 4 and leading into Yellowstone Season 5, he seemed drawn to the Dutton Ranch, especially Beth (Kelly Reilly, who starred in Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law) and Rip (Cole Hauser, known for Good Will Hunting with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Robin Williams). Carter comes from a broken home, and when his mother dies of an overdose and is left outside a hospital, Beth finds him and takes him in at the Dutton Ranch, putting him to work immediately and giving him a purpose.

Later, when he is arrested for a misdemeanor, he gives Beth’s name as his guardian, and she picks him up, seemingly solidifying his place on the ranch. That place looks to entrench itself even deeper in Yellowstone Season 5. 

His connection to Cole Hauser’s Rip comes from a similar background as he, too, found his place on the ranch at a young age and became an extremely loyal member of the Dutton family, protecting its land and its people with rigorous aggression and violence.

With the two’s connection, it is hard not to see Carter following the same path as Rip, eventually taking his place as the loyal and dedicated protector, willing to go to lengths others won’t to protect his home. Hauser spoke about their bond coming up in Yellowstone Season 5, saying that he will become more of a father figure to Carter and that he is growing up fast; the relationship with Halie will be good to see. 

Orli Gottesman is a fresh face in the industry as she only has two credits to her name, both coming in 2022; she played Bethany in Adeline and Britt in 1-800-Hot-Nite. She is primed to become a household name by landing the role of Halie in Yellowstone Season 5, as she is now going to be in front of a much bigger audience alongside Kevin Costner, Cole Hauser, and more.
