From the 1990 decade on, his telenovelas became known for portraiting the lives of the upper middle-class Rio de Janeiro society, especially in the Leblon neighborhood. Another of his marks is that several of his works have a different protagonist named '"Helena"; Carlos said he drew inspiration on Helen of Troy, finding the name more appropriate to a character than to a real-life person.
