=After High School=
After high school, Karissa continued working on a plan to steal Christian away from her sister.  She often tried involving Carlyle in her plans.  She would sometimes try to trick Christian into thinking that she was her twin sister.   But Christian usually was able to figure her out. Karissa's relationship with her mother continued spiraling downward because of her attitude.  She did start to college, and took it very seriously.  But figured she couldn't impress her mother, so she didn't care as much as she had in High School.  
=Passion Point Psychopath Murders=
During the Passion Point Psychopath Murders Karissa was a suspect just like her twin sister.  Because the two were twins, Edward Adair named both of them suspects, but only had interest in Kristina.  Karissa was kidnapped in place of her twin sister, after swapping places with her becuase she suspected something was up.  Being stronger than her sister, she was able to easily overpower Kylie and Elisabetta, and managed to get away.
=Later Life=
Karissa eventually married Christian, because her sister was unable to forgive him for trying to kill Ginny Lynn.  It took a while for Christian to warm up to Karissa, but he eventually did.  The two got married, and had two children together.  Karissa went on to become Vice President of Crane Industries alongside her husband, though her father in law often made the calls.
