Caroline Steel was a fictional character in the ITV science fiction television series Primeval. She is played by Naomi Bentley. Steel meets Connor Temple in Episode 8, and shows an interest in him.
[edit] Characterization
She loves cats and dogs, but is a Herpetophobe, much to the shock of Abby Maitland. It is eventually revealed that Steel is working for Oliver Leek (though she is largely ignorant of Leek's plans), and therefore simply using Connor to get to the team. Caroline has plans to appear on television, but so far has failed to appear upon Big Brother and X Factor. Apparently she is 22 years old, 157 centimetres tall and was born in Hackney, London. She enjoys running, dancing, fencing, squash, kick boxing, paintballing and "metal detector". She hates lizards, and has a bitter rivalry with Abby. She has had many boyfriends and has been smarter than all of them, she's never been dumped, she's alway done the dumping.
[edit] Character history
Steel met Connor in a local DVD store, where Connor was looking for science fiction DVDs[1] . Since then she was seen being paid by Oliver Leek[2] . In Episode 11, furious about her reputation being tarnished from just being dumped by Connor, she attacks Rex, as to avenge herself against Abby. She then takes Rex to Leek, who pays a substantial bounty. When Caroline asks what the job was all about, Leek immediately offers to show her and takes her to see his secret facility, knowing that Cutter's team will attempt to retrieve Rex by triangulating the signal from Caroline's mobile phone - thereby leading them into Leek's trap[3] .
In Episode 13, she arrives to look at what Leek is actually doing with Rex. She sees what is going on, and is immediately repulsed. She shows constant terror at what is going on, and keeps asking Leek why she cannot go home. Leek takes her and the rest of the team into hostage. In their cell, she is threatened by Abby, and the two of them fight, punching and kicking each other. Eventually Abby slams Caroline against a wall, but Caroline uses her superior strength to pin Abby down. Abby bites her and she lets go, and the two continue to grapple briefly. Connor splits them up, and Caroline thanks him. To this, Connor replies "I didn't do it for you". She explains that she was money-driven and asks Connor for forgiveness. But surprisingly not only Connor accepts her apology. Abby goes as far as saving her life from a sabre-toothed cat. Later on, as they escape, she even shows sympathy to Rex, rescuing him after being injured[4] .
Later on, Caroline is seen at Stephen's funeral briefly, despite the two characters never meeting on screen, and tries to remind Connor that he still has her mobile number[4]. She then leaves. Series creator Adrian Hodges has confirmed that she will not be returning in the next series[citation needed].
