Caroline Spencer is a fictional character from the CBS Daytime soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, created by producer Bradley Bell. She is portrayed by actress Linsey Godfrey. She is the daughter of media mogul Karen Spencer (Joanna Johnson), niece of media mogul Bill Spencer, Jr. (Don Diamont) and namesake of her aunt, Caroline Spencer Forrester (Johnson).
On February 7, 2012 it was announced that Joanna Johnson would reprise the role of Karen Spencer and would be arriving alongside her never-before-heard-of-and-seen daughter Caroline, the namesake of deceased twin sister Caroline Spencer. It was announced that actress Linsey Godfrey was cast into the new role. Godfrey is known for her roles on several television series such as NCIS, One Tree Hill, and Wizards of Waverly Place. The character, while unknown to viewers, would be acknowledged and known to those on-screen. In April 2012, it was announced that Crystal Chappell would enter the cast of the series as Caroline's second mother, in the series' first ever lesbian storyline. Godfrey has a tattoo to symbolize her successful battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which the producers wrote into the show. In December 2016, Godfrey was put on recurring status with the show.
Caroline's initial storyline revolves around a storyline about her and her same-sex mothers', Karen (Joanna Johnson) and Danielle Spencer (Crystal Chappell), entitled "My Two Moms". Caroline was noted by head writer Bradley Bell and writers Patrick Mulcahey and Tracey Ann Kelly to represent a younger generational view of her mothers sexuality; Kelly stated: "She did not understand the need to feel secretive, whereas her mother, having dealt with this in a much different time, felt very different about it. So I felt it was wonderful to see the generational difference in the attitude". Caroline's importance in the storyline was a key aspect, as her mothers had their "hands full" while coming together to help Caroline deal with her own problems. The role of Caroline was involved in three romances, the first being with Thomas Forrester (Adam Gregory, then Pierson Fodé), before she moved on with his arch-rival Rick Forrester (Jacob Young) and then she got married to Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss, then Thorsten Kaye).
