Character History

Carly came to Salem 1990 while on the run. She had gotten the idea to come to Salem from the vactioning Adrienne Johnson and Justin Kiriakis. Carly figured Salem would be the perfect place because no one would know her or where to find her. After arriving in Salem, Carly was shocked to run into not one but two people from her past. First, there was Jennifer Horton whom she had attended boarding school with and then she ran into Bo Brady who had intervened on a fight that her and her then boyfriend, Lawrence Alamain were having numerous years prior. Luckily for Carly, Bo didn't remember her and the two did not get along. Carly soon landed a job at Salem University Hospital where one of her patients ended up being Bo's son Shawn-Douglas Brady. Shawn Douglas had gone deaf as a result of an accident at an oil factory. Bo and Carly grew closer as she cared for his son.

Carly discovered that her brother Frankie was being held captive by Lawrence. Lawrence agreed to release Frankie if Carly handed over her family fortune and Bo. Carly was torn between saving her brother and the man she had begun to have feelings for but Jack was able to find Frankie and Jennifer, who had also been taken and held captive and freed the two. Carly and Bo continued to grow closer but he was unable to fully commit to her and Carly ended up accepting a marriage proposal to marry Victor Kiriakis. Bo came to his senses and sent a letter to Carly telling her not to marry Victor and that he loved her. Bo had Emmy Borden deliver the letter but Emmy gave it to Victor, who made up a fake letter to give to Bo instead telling Carly that she should marry Victor. Carly was never happy during her short marriage to Victor and Victor knew of her feeling for Bo. Victor hatched a plan to fake his death and headed for Mexico where he was followed by Roman, Marlena, Bo and Carly. After finding Victor the group headed back to Salem and Carly and Bo began to plan their wedding though they never followed through. Carly began having terrible nightmares about her son, Nicholas whom Carly believed died shortly after birth. Carly told Bo everything that happened around the time her son was born. Carly had become pregnant with her then boyfriend James who was really Lawrence, when Carly found out his true identity and fled without telling him she was pregnant. Carly sought out the help of Vivian Alamain. Carly gave birth to her son in France and Vivian had the doctor tell Carly that her son had died. Bo and Carly decided to travel to France to try and talk to that doctor who admitted that her son did not die but had been sold on the black market.
