Dr. Caroline Todd is the main character in the British sitcom Green Wing, and is played by Tamsin Greig. Caroline is the new surgical registrar at East Hampton Hospital; she arrives for her first day of work in the very first episode, after having spent all night in her car.

Her main feature is that she is often awkward and constantly being embarrassed. Sometimes it is by her fellow members of staff, but most of the time it is due to her own bad luck. This is somewhat ironic, as she is arguably the most "normal" character in Green Wing. She works mostly with surgeon "Mac" Macartney and anaesthetist Dr. Guy Secretan. Caroline is a popular character amongst fans of Green Wing, and was once voted the character most male Green Wing fans would like to date.

In the beginning of the series, Caroline seems attracted to both Guy and Mac, but falls for Mac. She eventually wins his affection, despite competition from physiotherapist Lady Emily "Emmy" Lewis Westbrook and liaison officer Sue White. However, when Mac is knocked unconscious after a crash in an ambulance and ends up in a coma, he loses his memory of the last 24 hours before the crash, and parts of the eight weeks before (Caroline's first eight weeks in the hospital) are patchy. Thus he has forgotten their relationship, forcing Caroline to start all over again.

Her relationship with the other members of staff differs. Sue White hates Caroline for stealing Mac, the man she obsesses over and stalks; Sue attempts to murder Caroline on several occasions. Senior registrar in paediatrics Dr. Angela Hunter becomes Caroline's lodger in a house belonging to Caroline's brother. Their relationship is difficult: Caroline hates Angela for being so perfect, and although Angela usually acts friendly and helpful towards Caroline, she often does so in a subtly undermining way. They once had a major falling out after Angela accused Caroline of stealing her underwear. Angela left the hospital to pursue an acting career, and later died in an accident.

Angela's replacement was Holly Hawkes (Angela told Holly the post was about to become vacant). Holly was Mac's girlfriend for six years but - based on dialogue in series one - the relationship broke down when she aborted their child because it would affect her career. With the return of Holly, Caroline feared that Mac might fall in love with Holly again. Although Holly claimed she no longer loved Mac, it was later shown that she dyed her son's hair to fool Mac into thinking he was the father and hoped to rekindle their relationship that way. After Angela's departure, Guy (who has been trying to add Caroline to his list of sexual conquests since their first meeting), becomes Caroline's new lodger. During this time, Guy begins to fall in love with Caroline.
