[edit] Before Season Three

Carolyn was Orson's former nosy neighbor. She caught Orson thoroughly cleaning the house, and after learning that Alma was missing after she left Orson, she became suspicious that Orson killed Alma...

[edit] Season Three

As Bree and Orson announced their wedding, she, ineffectively, warned Bree about marrying him. Even after their marriage she wouldn't leave them alone, and eventually Bree told Carolyn about her husband Harvey's affair with Monique Polier.

This information had Carolyn snap, and she went to Harvey's store to kill him with a handgun. She confronted him and then tried to shoot him. However he managed to dodge the bullets and run into his office with Edie Britt and locking the door. Carolyn pointed her gun at people in the store and told them to get to the back of the store and that nobody is going anywhere. She kept over a dozen hostage including Julie, Austin, Lynette, Nora and a woman named Maya. Carolyn soon began to lose the plot and when a man tried to escape she shot him in the back but he managed to open the store doors and run out, Carolyn then locked them. Soon after Nora began arguing with Lynette and Carolyn tells them to shut up and Nora blurts to her that Lynette is trying to steal her child. Carolyn looks angry at this and asks Lynette if this is true, Lynette defends herself saying they're sharing custody but Nora tried to seduce her husband. When Carolyn hears she shoots Nora in the chest. Lynette and new neighbour Art Shephard try to save Nora however she dies. Lynette then screamed at Carolyn saying that she derserved to be cheated on. Carolyn aimed her gun at Lynette to kill her. However Art grabbed a can and chucked it at Carolyn's head who fell to the floor, dropping the gun. It messed up her aim at Lynette so she was only shot in the arm. Then Austin tackled Carolyn and held her down to the floor. Maya picked up the gun and shot Carolyn in the head, killing her.
