Caroline Spencer Forrester is a fictional character from the American soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful. The role was played by Joanna Johnson from March 23, 1987, to early July 1990. She returned as a ghost in 2001. Johnson also plays Caroline's identical twin sister, Karen Spencer.
The character is introduced as a sweet and virginal young woman who becomes strong-willed and even self-serving as she is betrayed by the men in her life and by her best friend; but she finds true compassion and selflessness as she dies from leukemia.
Caroline first appeared as the daughter of publishing tycoon Bill Spencer, engaged to the playboy fashion designer, Ridge Forrester, the son of Eric and Stephanie, who founded and run the prestigious Los Angeles design house where Ridge works. But Bill strongly disapproves of this match. Just before the wedding ceremony, Bill tells Caroline that he had Ridge followed and knows for a fact that he slept with another woman just a week before. She is nevertheless determined to go through with the wedding, but collapses on her way down the aisle. She is rushed to the hospital, where an idolizing young woman from the Valley, Brooke Logan, visits and befriends her. After she is released, she estranges herself from Ridge and moves into her own apartment.
Caroline is raped by a man named Ron Deacon (Greg Wrangler). The first person a distraught Caroline calls for support is Brooke. She eventually moves in with the Logans: Brooke and her siblings, Storm, Donna and Katie; and Brooke's mother, Beth. Ridge's brother, Thorne, visits to comfort Caroline, even while Ridge himself knows nothing about what happened. By the time he finds out, Caroline has convinced herself she loves Thorne. During the trial, Ron's lawyer tries to destroy Caroline's reputation by insinuating that she consented to sex. Ridge takes the stand, testifying that Caroline was insistent on remaining a virgin until she was married. Ron ends up in prison.
