[edit] Character history

At first glance, Carmel appears to be a typical blonde airhead. Possessing a naive nature, Carmel is easy to take advantage of. She is one of Myra McQueen's daughters, and the sister of John-Paul and Michaela. She is also the half-sister of Jacqui, Mercedes and Tina. Carmel has a great singing voice.

Darren Osborne recognised Carmel's singing talent and asked her to sing for his regulars in the SU Bar. Camel, along with most of her sisters, performed just as Darren had asked, unaware that he had told his regulars that the McQueen girls were going to give explicit performances. Even after Darren's deception was uncovered by Mercedes, Carmel remained unconvinced of Darren's insincerity towards him and carried on with the show.

Carmel has been very supportive towards little brother John Paul after he came out as being gay, but tends to go over the top, e.g. signing him up to a gay website and taking him to a gay club.

She currently works in Evissa, a beauty salon as a nail technician
