Hi everyone. We're going to try something new. Every week (if this goes well) we'll have a new thread for a different character; this week's is Carrie. The purpose of this thread is to give both positive and negative feedback about the writing, characterization, and portrayal of the character. As always, the daily thread is the place to discuss specific episodes and scenes; this thread is for any and all thoughts on the character, the character's history, family relationships, and what you'd like to see for him/her. Feel fee to post pictures and clips if you'd like.

We'll be locking these at the end of each week and giving another character a turn.

This is not a place for fanbase fighting; please know before posting that there will be people in here who disagree with you, and if you have a different opinion that one stated, please just state your own respectfully. The point of this thread is to get feedback from everyone, good or bad.

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

I think that Carrie hasn't changed one bit, she's in character and is about to cheat on her husband for NO REASON.

So if the writers were looking to portray her the way she's always been portrayed then they hit the nail on the head, the problem with the story is the fact that the build up wasn't there....it felt rushed frankly, as if they realized they made a mistake with the notsodeadbabysex and then had to throw something together to make Sami look slightly better.

A reason would be great and might make something rootable about Carrie and Rafe, but as of right now...I've got nothing.

I love Carrie and belong to the Forever Carrie fanbase...LOL..j/k

Actually, I have always loved Carrie but she's a cheater and would like her to bitch slap her beast of a sister after she finds out about beastsex.

She really did look like a princess the other day.

Don't get up. So how are you? What happened, eh? Let me guess, Stefano told you that you could fly,and you jumped off a building. HeHe It's funny right, no I'm sorry Bad EJ, I should'nt be that cruel!

I love this idea Lysie, you rock :D

Here is my analysis on Carrie.

I use to hate Carrie with a passion, she always seemed like a goody two shoes, she got on my nerves! I use to think she was also boring and spineless but I was not watching her from the beginning, but I did find her and Austin okay. I still remember that scene on the roof when they were together and Lumi was wondering where they were. I remember that vividly, I HATED Lucas and Carrie, one of the worst couples. Presently, I love Carrie now, why? cause she is romancing Rafe, and I happen to love them together and would love to see them make love over and over again :D

With one big exception, I like the way Carrie is being written right now. I liked her better before the new year, though. I like that she came back with the purpose of helping her family, and I loved how almost blindly loyal she was to John.

I don't like that she's cheating again. I've never been a big Carrie/Austin fan, but I did like how they were being portrayed in the latter part of last year. I wish they'd followed up on that more before having her cheat. While I wouldn't be overly thrilled with her cheating with anyone, I really don't care for her cheating with Rafe. I just can't imagine what she sees in the guy.

I do like, however, that she seems to get great joy out of rattling Sami. I'm still hopeful that eventually that will go somewhere.

I'm really disappointed that they're not really showing us the conflict with Carrie and Austin, and instead they're telling us about it.

Oh, my fave relationship with Carrie is the one she has with John and Marlena. Oh, it just takes me back to the old days of those Marlena and Carrie talks.

I want more of that...have they shown her talking about her attraction to Rafe to Marlena? I think it was supposed to shown this week?

I love Austin too...but he's such a doofus...I know he always was, but I think I've outgrown his character.

I think that's next week. I'm looking forward to it!

One of my favorite scenes, and I haven't seen it in years, is when Carrie comes to the penthouse after Austin finds out about Mike. LOVE.

I really like Carrie. I'm not enjoying the way she is being written, but I still like her. I also have enjoyed her scenes with Rafe and that's saying a lot coming from me considering I have never cared for Rafe before.

Great idea!!! Let me go on the record as saying that whenever the SAMI thread gets posted, my bet it will break 20 pages in 24 hours. The JENNIFER thread will be 2nd longest. Can't wait. :popcorn:


Oh, and Carrie is the pretty, smart sister who Sami can never be. CARRIE can pull off slutty without looking like a skank. Something Sami will never learn.
I love that Carrie has a better relationship with Marlena than Sami has. It's too bad they never show her with Anna or the real Roman. Not Winston.

I'll just tell myself that she thinks he's really hot and just an overall "great guy." Because he really has no personality, I don't think. And it's all happening too fast, GOD!

I'll be flat out honest. I'd actually prefer it if she doesn't have on iota of feelings for the man and is purely doing this to piss off Sami. I doubt that would happen, but I'd seriously love it.

now i'm not trying to defend Rafe here but I do understand how one could be attracted to Rafe..especially Carrie. Rafe is very sweet, protective and i actually see a lot of similarities between the two of them

LOL. She definitely has fans here, but she also has non-fans. But this thread is about Carrie. ;)

I did not like Carrie at all when I first started watching again in 2006. She just seemed fake and vapid and useless. But I've really enjoyed the character since her return last fall. For the first time she seems like a fitting heir to the Brady heroine legacy. Sure she's not loyal in love like Kayla and Kim were, but it's also a different time so I can live with that. But she is extremely loyal to her family and I loved how she was willing to sacrifice so much to help John. That's a Brady woman I can support.

It doesn't even bother me that she's about to cheat on her husband because I see little or no chemistry between Austin and Carrie and I actually like her relationship with Rafe for some strange reason. I do wish that we had seen more of the problems she and Austin are apparently having instead of just hearing about them. I think that would make the set-up for cheating better.

I would like the writers to spend a little more time on who Carrie is as an individual and not just as part of a couple or as Sami's antagnoist. The loyalty to John and Marlena helped define the character this time around, but more of that type of thing is necessary. But if they do that, I hope Carrie sticks around. She show needs an actually heroine (even if she does cheat now and then) on this show.
