Carla Sophia von Lahnstein is a fictional character from the German soap opera Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love), portrayed by actress Claudia Hiersche. She made her first appearance on screen on 19 September 2003 and left the show on 10 November 2009. Hiersche then returned for a guest stint on 29 January 2010 and will leave the show again in February 2010. Her role as the lesbian businesswoman was praised by critics and became a fan favorite with a strong following.
We get to know Carla as the oldest daughter of the aristocrat Johannes von Lahnstein (Thomas Gumpert) and a very smart and strong businesswoman. She is a lesbian, but because she is afraid her father would be unsupportive of her, she starts out by keeping her sexual orientation a secret. Only her younger brother Leonard (Lars Korten) knows about Carla's love for women.
When Carla meets Hanna Novak (Katharina Dalichau), a straight woman, who is in a relationship with the attorney Lars Schneider (Herbert Ulrich), she falls in love with her. She, however, doesn't think that she has any chance. Hanna and Carla begin to build a deep and good friendship which shatters when Hanna is confronted with Carla's feelings for her. Hanna tells her that she loves Lars and isn't bisexual. Carla understands, but can't carry on with their friendship. When Carla keeps a distance to her, Hanna notices that she cares for Carla and might feel more for her than she thought.
Meanwhile, Carla develops a friendship with Bernd von Beyenbach (Ron Holzschuh), who falls in love with the young and attractive countess. But every approach that Bernd is doing fails and he can't tell why. When Bernd witnesses a fight between Carla and her former lover, her assistant Evelyn Thoma, she tells Bernd the truth. Carla wants to buy Bernd's silence about her homosexuality, but Bernd tells her that he will remain silent because of their friendship. Carla sees that she found a good and loyal friend in Bernd. When Evelyn crashes Johannes' wedding with Cécile de Maron (Yvonne Burbach) to tell everyone that Carla is a lesbian, Bernd comes to her rescue and presents himself as Carla's fiancé. To Carla's shock, Johannes takes the moment and makes an official announcement about his daughter's engagement. Bernd moves in with Carla to present them as a happy couple.
