[edit] Fictional character history

Carrie is the daughter of Roman Brady and Anna Fredericks. Sami & Eric Brady are her half-siblings, as are Rex & Cassie. Her mother abandoned Carrie and Roman when Carrie was only four years old.

Carrie’s past traumas include being in a coma after a car accident, a near drowning, being kidnapped and held captive by Stefano DiMera and having acid thrown in her face.

When Austin Reed moved into town, Carrie was instantly attracted. She wound up becoming roommates with Austin’s troubled sister, Billie Reed. Carrie & Austin began dating, but Austin’s fighting career was a sore spot. Carrie, meanwhile, had just become a finalist in Bella magazine’s “Face of the 90’s” competition. When Austin failed to “throw” a fight, Carrie became the victim of an acid attack that left her face scarred. Her father Roman,who did not like Austin, told Carrie that if she would break up with him, he would not pursue any charges against Austin stemming from his involvement with the underworld of boxing. So Carrie pushed Austin out of her life, which gave her sister Sami an opportunity to dig her claws into him.

Sami teamed up with Lucas Roberts, who was obsessed with Carrie, to keep Austin & Carrie apart. Meanwhile, Carrie had plastic surgery on her face and was willing to give her and Austin another chance. During a romantic ski weekend, Carrie lost her virginity to Austin, after almost being raped by Alan, who went on to rape Sami instead.

Sami continued her scheming and went so far as to drug and rape Austin, making him believe she was Carrie. Carrie & Austin managed to survive all the drama and plan their wedding. Sami of course ruined the day with the announcement that she was pregnant with Austin’s child (which was a total lie). Carrie was devastated when Austin decided to make a go of life with Sami and baby Will. It didn’t last long and Carrie & Austin continued to find ways to be together. Determined never to let her sister be happy, Sami concocted a scheme that ended with her wedding to Austin!

Carrie endured many more distractions and along the way, became good friends with Dr. Mike Horton. He was her shoulder to lean on and she appreciated his willingness to listen to her drama. Eventually, Carrie got the sweetest revenge when she interrupted Austin & Sami’s “real” wedding with the news that Will was actually Lucas’s baby, not Austin’s. Austin & Carrie were married on the spot, while Sami was left seething.

Unfortunately, the damage to Carrie & Austin’s trust was done. She cheated on Austin with Mike and Austin left Salem for good. Carrie & Mike wound up moving to Israel together after Carrie accepted his marriage proposal.

Carrie recently returned to town and was surprised to see Austin home as well. Although things looked positive for Austin and Carrie's future, her sister, Sami saw otherwise and once again schemed to break them apart. First she was able to have Austin and his company buy out Carrie's company, HighStyle, with no knowledge that Carrie had any association with the small business. Carrie, feeling betrayed, began growing closer to Austin's half brother, Lucus Roberts. To ensure that Carrie would no longer want to be with Austin, Sami was also able to blackmail Dr. Lexie Carver after finding out about Lexie's affair with young detective Tek Kramer. Lexie thought up of a bogus story to tell Carrie, which was that Austin and Carrie shared rare genetic markers and if they ever had children, the child would suffer extreme birth defects that could result in death.

Carrie then moved on romantically with Lucas, and even became engaged. She soon believed she was pregnant thanks to a false pregnancy test, leading for her and Lucas to rush their wedding date. When Carrie found out there was no baby, and had a "hysterical pregnancy", she was distraught and cheated on Lucas with Austin, her true love who was also engaged to her sister Sami at the time, on the roof of their apartment building.

As Austin recently did not marry Sami, Carrie has shown signs of relief. Prior to the ceremony she expressed to Marlena that she was still in love with Austin, and admitted to not being in love with Lucas. After secretly meeting with Austin to make love and comfort one another, Lucas came to the roof and caught her kissing Austin. After a bitter tirade on Lucas' part, Carrie was kicked out of their apartment. Soon after, Carrie handed Lucas annulment papers and Lucas was more than willing to sign them in order to immediately get Carrie out of his life. However, minutes later, the Gloved Hand slid a note under Sami's apartment door and Lucas, Carrie and Austin discovered the truth behind Sami's blackmailing of Lexie. After Sami finally admitted the truth about her misdeeds, a furious Carrie attacked her. The two sisters fought each other and when they stopped, Carrie swore to her half-sister that she will tell everyone of what she did.

Later, Carrie ran into Lexie and revealed to her that she knows the truth behind Sami's blackmail. Although Lexie tried to plea her case, Carrie didn't care and promised to pay Lexie back by reporting her to the hospital board and the AMA. After showing up with Dr. Finch to keep her promise, Lexie was immediately fired and Carrie felt that her stay in Salem was nearly complete. During dinner, Austin suggested that they move to Switzerland, where he can work at the Mythic Communications division there and Carrie can reclaim Highstyle. Carrie agreed on one condition--that they get married first. The two immediately went to the Justice of the Peace with their signed marriage licenses and got married (but not before getting briefly interrupted by a drunk Sami and Carrie disowning her). After saying their goodbyes to John, Kate, Marlena and Roman, Austin and Carrie take a plane and left Salem.
