Caroline Spencer is a fictional character from The Bold and the Beautiful, an American soap opera on the CBS network.

[17] Caroline was noted by head writer Bradley Bell and writers Patrick Mulcahey and Tracey Ann Kelly to represent a younger generational view of her mother's 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.

[20] By this point, she was described by Jamey Giddens of the website Zap2it as "cunning" and scheming "blonde vixen",[21][22] enjoying her new "fantastically-bitchy" persona.

[23] Joanna Johnson, upon her return to the series, characterized Caroline as having changed into "a total bad-ass crazy person" who needed "mothering".

[24] Speaking on her character's progression, Godfrey explained: "I really love the dimension that [the writers] added to Caroline because when I first came on the show, she was this very sweet and very meek girl.

I was so excited when they turned her into a layered woman who had these very strong thoughts and opinions and didn’t back down to anyone, but she also wasn’t being a catty little girl any more.

"[25] In March 2012, Karen Spencer (Joanna Johnson) returned to town with a surprise trip for her daughter, Caroline to Los Angeles for an interview at Forrester Creations.

[26][27][28] Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss) plan to use Caroline's arrival as a collaborator for Rick Forrester (Jacob Young) and his new line, while Brooke has ulterior motives to use her as a distraction for Rick from Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz).

They also work together to free Marcus Barber Forrester (Texas Battle) from charges accusing him of running over his friend, Anthony, the night before his wedding to Dayzee Leigh (Kristolyn Lloyd).

Caroline than makes it her mission to get Rick back by helping him with the rebranding of "Hope for the Future" which in turn plays on Maya's insecurities.

For her portrayal of Caroline, Godfey was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the 42nd Daytime Emmy Awards.

[33] Following the character's death, Chris Eades from Soaps In Depth called Caroline a "talented, vibrant young woman who would never be forgotten".
