CARRIE BRADY
(Christie Clark)

Anna Brady first brought Carrie to Salem, much to Roman's surprise; he thought his wife was dead and never knew he had a daughter. Carrie had been born on a boat and lived there her entire life. She is Eric and Sami's half sister.

While Carrie was living with Roman, Anna, who was working for Stefano, hypnotized her into planting evidence on her father, causing him to get suspended from the police force. When Stefano killed Roman, Carrie continued to live with Marlena and took an instant dislike to her new friend, John Black. She was horrified to learn he was really her father! She eventually grew to love him and continued to live with him after Marlena's death.

As a teenager, Carrie ran away from home after having a huge fight with Roman II/John Black and met up with Yvette DuPres who convinced her the streets were no place for her. Carrie didn't get along with Roman II/John, so she moved to Europe in 1990 to live with her mother.

In 1992, Carrie returned to Salem. She was initially furious with John Black for having pretended to be her father, but eventually she forgave him. Later that year, she met Jesse Lombard and they became friends and decided to get an apartment together. Her father wasn't pleased with this and Carrie got a job at the department store Ballistics to pay her portion of the rent.

Austin Reed also arrived in Salem in 1992 and moved into the apartment across from Carrie. Carrie became smitten with him, but he didn't return her feelings at first. Carrie did everything she could to get his attention. Eventually they started seeing each other, but Austin's boxing career caused problems. He was mixed up with a bad crowd who ordered him to throw fights. By the end of the year, Jesse moved out of Carrie's apartment and Austin's sister Billie moved in.

Carrie won Bella magazine's "Face of the 90s" contest. At the party, a man aiming for Austin hit Carrie in the face with acid. The man was paying Austin back for not throwing a fight. Roman was furious and planned to arrest Austin for his part in an illegal gambling ring. Carrie managed to keep Austin out of jail by promising her father that she would no longer see him.

Carrie met Lucas Roberts when he came to town in 1993. Lucas liked Carrie, but she was still in love with Austin. Lucas did manage to convince Carrie to have plastic surgery to remove the scar on her face. The two of them grew close and almost made love, but Sami stopped them.

After Sami was raped by Alan Harris, a friend of Lucas', Carrie talked her into pressing charges. When Sami was humiliated on the stand, she vowed to get Carrie back by destroying her relationship with Austin.

Seeking the comfort of the opposite sex, Lucas and Sami made love. Austin saw them and assumed it was Carrie and Lucas because he saw her shirt. Later, Sami drugged Austin and tricked him into sleeping with her by pretending to be Carrie. The next morning, Austin told Sami he made a mistake and they could not be a couple. Sami ran away. Carrie learned that Austin had slept with someone else, she just didn't know who. Austin and Carrie were apart because each suspected the other of being unfaithful.

Carrie and Austin made up and soon became lovers again. Though Austin wanted to tell Carrie whom he had slept with, she told him not to. They became engaged and prepared to be married. As the wedding began, Sami returned and fainted during the ceremony. She murmured about her "baby" and revealed to everyone that she was pregnant. A stunned Austin told Carrie that he could be the father because Sami was the woman he slept with.

Sami drugged Carrie's glass of champagne and carried her to Lucas's bed. He showed up drunk and Sami put him in bed with Carrie, then arranged for Austin to see them. The next morning both Carrie and Lucas were clueless as to how they ended up in bed. Austin told Carrie that he had seen her and Lucas. Carrie couldn't explain what had happened. Thinking it was over between her and Austin, Carrie began dating Lucas.

Kate eventually exposed Lucas and Sami's schemes. After Carrie decked Sami, she and Austin reunited and went to Green Mountain Lodge for a few days.

Kate gave Austin and Carrie a surprise engagement party and a pre-wedding trip to Paris. They ended up in the room right next to Mary, a woman who had kidnapped Will, Sami's son. Sami came to Paris and they all searched for Mary. When she was found, Will had already been sold. French child protective services refused to turn Will over to an unmarried couple, so Austin and Sami were forced to marry in order to get him back.

Upon returning to Salem, Austin filed for divorce. Fighting back, Sami followed Austin and Carrie up to Green Mountain Lodge. Carrie caught Sami in their room, wearing her negligee. A huge fight followed and Sami pressed charges against Carrie, who was arrested. Sami had a restraining order put on Carrie which forced her to keep 100 feet away from her and Will.

Later, Austin and Carrie planned another romantic getaway, but Sami learned about their trip and stole Austin's car and crashed it. She tried to tell Austin that something was wrong with his car, but he didn't believe her. He went to take off, but the car's gears slipped and he backed into Sami, who was rushed to the hospital and fell into a deep coma.

When Sami finally awoke, she was paralyzed from the waist down. She had amnesia, but remembered her wedding to Austin and believed they were happily married. Unfortunately for Carrie and Austin, Mickey told Austin he could not legally divorce Sami when she was not in her right mind. Muc
