## About

Carol is a business owner.

She was initially romantically involved with Dan Keating in 2013 but after becoming mutually attracted to Robbie Quinn the two began a relationship in 2015. Despite their extremely rocky start Carol and Robbie eventually got married.

### 2016 wedding

The day of the explosive double-wedding arrives.

Carol thinks she may have finally found her happy ending when Robbie turns up on the morning of the wedding with a corsage for her.

Her joy doesn’t last long though when she goes to McCoy’s with Nora and sees Trigger trying to buy Jack a soft drink. She immediately calls Jack away from him and warns Trigger to stay away from her wedding.

When they get home Carol asks Nora not to mention a word about their run-in to Robbie as she doesn’t want any drama.

Unfortunately Trigger shows up at the flat and Carol orders him to leave. Trigger won’t take it lying down but just as things are about to kick off Wayne shows up and tells him to get out.

Carol warns Trigger if he does anything to Wayne she’ll call the Gards.

She’s still determined to make the most of her big day but Trigger is hellbent on revenge and comes up with a twisted plan to spoil things.

An RTE insider said: “Carol and Wayne are on the way to the marquee when Trigger steps out in front of the car. Wayne hits him and the car swerves off the road.

“Wayne runs to help Trigger, who is scrambling to his feet, but is stunned when Trigger punches him in the stomach and sends him to the ground and begins to kick Wayne.

“Carol runs to help Wayne and pushes Trigger off him away. He attacks Carols calling her a dressed up tart and squares up to her.

“Carol tries to call his bluff but he gains control, grabbing her hair and raising his fist to her face.”

Robbie is getting impatient for his bride at the marquee and is relieved when Wayne and Carol finally arrive.

His relief turns to horror when he sees Carol’s bruised and bloodied face but she’s adamant that the wedding go ahead.

Robbie’s furious but Dan convinces him to leave it, he agrees until he spots Trigger at the reception.

Robbie marches Trigger outside and Wayne and Dan rush to stop them, Carol quickly clocks the commotion and follows.

Trigger grabs a bottle and threatens Robbie with it, who manages to wrestle him to the ground and starts beating him badly until Dan and Carol step in.

Trigger is in a bad way and Dan sends everyone back inside to get their story straight while he calls 999.

The insider said: “During their first dance, Carol and Robbie are forced to hide what has happened as the sound of sirens from an approaching ambulance grows louder.”
