Beginnings
When Brooke Logan Forrester and Ridge Forrester were looking for a new designer to work with Rick Forrester and separate him from girlfriend Amber Moore, they stumbled across some designs from Caroline, then a New York junior designer. Ridge was surprised to hear her name, as he was married to her namesake Caroline Spencer, who passed away from leukemia. They called Caroline to town for an interview; she did not know this at first, and when she was notified that she was going to LA, she thought the interview would be for her mother Karen, but she was later told that this would be for her at Forrester Creations. When Caroline stepped out of a car to enter Forrester, she was greeted with open arms by Eric, Ridge, Brooke, her uncle Bill and cousin Liam, as well as Rick Forrester, Thomas Forrester and Amber Moore. Rick and Thomas looked at her in awe, and were both instantly attracted. Amber, on the other hand, did not think much of her nor the reaction that her ex-boyfriends gave. After an interview and job offers, Caroline accepted the position and her, Karen and her wife Danielle moved back to LA. A welcome party ensued shortly thereafter, introducing Caroline to everybody in the family, giving Amber an opportunity to cheese Caroline off with an impromptu toast. During this gathering, Caroline felt that she has some sort of similarity to her late aunt, sparking the introduction of The Caroline Spencer Cancer Foundation, to raise awareness for cancer and leukemia. After the party, Ridge brought Caroline to the Forrester Mansion's guest house, the place Ridge stayed with her namesake. He shared his memories of all the wonderful times he had with her, and showed Caroline the charm bracelet that he gave to her, as well as revealing why she has a cancer ribbon tattooed on her neck; in honor of Caroline Sr. While working, Caroline develops a deep connection to Rick, who was interested in her. Amber saw this and tried to get in the way by telling Caroline that Rick was a cross-dresser, in an attempt to draw Caroline away and give Amber another chance with Rick. She showed Caroline pictures and videos of Rick wearing women's' clothing and walking down a catwalk in high heels. Much to Amber's delight, this drew Caroline away from Rick. Caroline then pursued a relationship with Thomas, who was also interested in her. Her relationship with Thomas grew fairly close, to the point that Caroline found comfort in introducing him to her mother Karen and her wife Danielle, as they were just coming out as a homosexual couple. When Marcus Forrester was falsely accused of running over his friend Anthony Wallace the night before Marcus married Dayzee Leigh, Caroline and Thomas helped free him from charges. Rick, however, decides to intervene on this after finding out what Amber did with the photos, and begins to pursue Caroline. This leaves Caroline and Thomas in a rough patch, especially considering they only started getting serious with their relationship. Just to make it worse, Caroline was annoyed at Thomas when he began supporting his ex-girlfriend Hope Logan after splitting from Liam Spencer, and annoyance turned into fury when Ridge gives Thomas the presidential role at Forrester Creations, sparking Rick and Thomas to get into a heated argument, resulting in Thomas pushing Rick out of a window. Due to these events, Caroline ended her relationship with Thomas, and found comfort in Rick. After a number of rough patches involving Maya Avant taking an interest in Rick, Caroline and Rick married on Thanksgiving in 2013, though their marriage ended a year later when Caroline cheated on Rick with Ridge, whom she fell in love with.
