Carly grew up in an unstable home. Her mother left her father and the children for another man. They grew up poor while her mother was living with a wealthy man. Later, a grown up Carly showed up in Oakdale for the first time, it was to see if she could get her hands on some of the Cabot family fortune. After all, she figured it was owed to her and didn't care who was in her way. Carly found out that she had a half-sister named Rosanna Cabot. Rosanna was engaged to Mike Kasnoff.
Carly had a one night stand with Mike before she realized that he was Rosanna's fiance. She met Mike at a bar and one thing led to another, and then they made love. Carly ended up pregnant with Mike's baby. One night, while Rosanna and Mike were having dinner, Carly got into a fight with Rosanna. During the fight, Carly lost her balance and fell. The fall sent her into early labor. She delivered a little girl she named Nora Kasnoff. Unfortunately, there were complications and Nora died. Rosanna felt guilty, but wanted Carly out of her life. So, she came up with a plan to offer Carly a large sum of money, if she would find and marry someone and have children. Carly needed the money and went on a search for her husband. Carly even went to Hong Kong, but came back after a while.
Once she was back in Oakdale, Carly met Brad Snyder. She fell in love with Brad's brother, Jack, but she couldn't have him. She married John Dixon and eventually got pregnant. John knew that the baby wasn't his and they divorced, but John wouldn't say anything about Parker's biological father. Brad knew that Hal Munson was Parker's father and he used this information to get what he wanted. Brad told Carly that she had to marry him if she wanted to keep it a secret. Carly agreed and married Brad, which gave her plenty of opportunity to get to know Jack a little more. She knew that Jack wouldn't pursue her while she was still married to his brother, so she asked Brad for a divorce. In the meantime, Brad had fallen in love with Carly, but still agreed to the divorce when Carly promised to pay him five million dollars to sign the divorce papers. Brad just had one request, and that was Carly had to sleep with him one time. Reluctantly Carly agreed. When Carly went to collect her money from Rosanna, she refused to give Carly a dime. Brad was furious at Carly and wanted his money, or revenge. Brad made a public announcement at Hal and Barbara Munson's wedding that Hal was the father to Carly's baby. Jack was mad at Carly for putting herself in this predicament. When things cooled down and Jack wasn't so mad at Carly, they started getting closer. They eventually fell in love.
Carly became a well-known fashion designer. She was always in competition with Barbara Ryan, who owned her own line of clothing. Carly was offered a temporary position to substitute for Barbara when Barbara was hurt in an explosion. Paul wanted to keep this a secret from his mother so she wouldn't get mad. Barbara found out and was furious. She had Carly, Emily Stewart and Rose D'Angelo kidnapped and taken out of the country, with the help of James Stenbeck. While kidnapped, the women were injected with a serum that would age them very quickly. When Carly was found, she couldn't bare to let anyone look at her. She refused to let Jack love her, and didn't want him to feel obligated to be with her. She also thought that Jack would eventually get tired of looking at her and leave her. But she was wrong. Jack vowed to stay by her side, no matter what. They finally came up with another serum that reversed the effects, and Carly was back to normal.
Carly and Jack stayed together and got married, but tragedy was just around the corner for the happy couple. One day, Jack was escorting a prisoner back to the Oakdale police department when the car went off a bridge. Jack was never found, but Carly never gave up on him. When everyone was moving on with their lives, Carly, with the help of Parker, decided to find him. Her gut feeling was right. Jack was indeed alive. He was suffering from amnesia. A nurse who took care of him in the hospital brought him to her home, fell in love with him and they married, but it wasn't a legal marriage because he was still married to Carly. After taking him to court, Carly had Jack court ordered to live with her and the kids until one day he got his memory back and realized that he was in love with Carly. For a while, Jack was torn between Carly and Julia. He finally made his decision to stay married to the love of his life, Carly. Julia was hurt but she moved on. Unfortunately, Julia was murdered by her ex-husband. With his mother dead and his dad in prison, Julia's little boy, JJ was awarded to Jack and Carly.
Through the years, Carly has been in and out of love with Jack. Just when Jack took her back, Carly did something behind his back that had him mad at her again. After years of fighting with Carly, Jack finally left her, maybe for good. Saddened over the break up, Carly eventually decided to move on with her life and accept the fact that Jack would not return. She fell in love with Simon Frasier, who had hired her to design. Carly liked his wild spirit because it reminded her of herself. Unfortunately, Simon and Carly got in trouble with a diamond that was stolen from a prince. This time, Jack couldn't get her out of this mess. She ended up running from the law, and Jack. She left behind a wonderful life that she had worked so hard to establish, and three wonderful children.
When Carly returned to Oakdale, she set about making Jack see they were meant to be together but he was already involved with Katie Peretti. JJ was kidnapped by associates of Julia and Carly managed to follow Jack all over the country to find him. Together, they rescued JJ but Jack would still not consider a reconciliation. As his wedding to Katie neared, Carly began having headaches and passing out but she kept her symptoms to herself. Brad eventually discovered what was going on and convinced her to see a doctor. Carly was diagnosed with brain lesions and told she had only a few weeks to live.
She swore Brad to secrecy but Brad kept pressing her to come forward. He eventually spilled the beans to Jack who moved back in with Carly, even though he had just married Katie, for the kids' sake. Soon after, Carly learned she had been misdiagnosed and wasn't dying but again persuaded Brad to keep the secret so that she could truly win Jack's heart. Brad, in love with Katie, agreed but it became very hard for him to keep the secret. Carly convinced Jack to come away with her to Montana and they had sympathy sex. Brad couldn't believe it when she told him. Soon after, Katie realized the truth and decided to leave Jack. Carly begged Brad to keep quiet and then proposed to Jack herself. He accepted, again for the kids' sake.
Katie figured out what was really going on and on their wedding day went to the church. She couldn't out Carly, though, and left. At the altar, Carly had an epiphany and decided to tell Jack the truth. He left her on the spot. Still not over him, she tried several times to make her see that he truly loved her but Jack wouldn't admit it.
With Jack presenting a stony front and Lily out of town, Carly had no one to turn to except Holden. They became sympathetic friends, each trying to get over their exes. Soon their friendship grew and they began having an affair. Not wanting to ruin the one good relationship she had left - her friendship with Lily - Carly called a halt to the affair but Holden was too deeply involved. He told Lily the truth and she left him. Lily placed all the blame on Carly; still Carly would not consider entering into a real relationship with Holden.
They finally broke things off for good when Holden and Lily decided to try again after Ethan's accident at the Snyder Farm Project. Carly couldn't understand why no one would forgive her part in the affair.

Carly confronts Craig and Rosanna. "All I gave up in rehab was my vodka habit, not my brain or my temper!" she shouts. Rosanna apologizes. Her sister accuses her of trying to get revenge over what happened with Mike. "You're the one who plays nice girl and then stabs someone in the back," Rosanna points out. Carly demands to know when the affair started. Rosanna says they didn't even realize how they felt until it was too late. Carly tears into Craig but he tries to stop her from 'cheapening' this by saying that he and Rosanna are in love. Carly takes this to mean that he never actually loved her. As she storms out, they stop her and point out that she wouldn't even let them communicate with her for months so they assumed she was re-thinking everything. She thinks that if they cared, they would have waited. Craig tells her that she can hate him but shouldn't blame Rosanna or anyone else. Things get even worse when they tell her that Jack has known for weeks. She refuses to believe that and storms off. Rosanna cries and Craig tells her they knew this was going to happen. She feels like he's treating her like a replacement for her sister. She's lost him a couple of times, why should it be different this time? Craig explains that he fell for her years ago and never got over her and he never will.
Carly goes to the farm house and runs into Janet. She hasn't been able to get a hold of Brad. Carly begins moaning about Craig and Rosanna. Janet snaps at her. Before Carly can walk out, Janet explains that Jack has run away. She explains that Jack was drinking before he shot Brad. "He needs you," Carly tells her. Janet doesn't appreciate her saying that to her and tells her she has to get dinner ready.
Craig and Rosanna go to Carly's. She insists on going in alone. He says he'll wait outside for her. When she goes in, Carly is throwing all of Rosanna's clothes by the door. "You wanted my man. You slept with him. You took him. Get the hell out of my house," she orders. Rosanna walks out with an armful of clothes. She tells Craig that she's been thrown out. He thinks that might be for the best. She worries that she's lost her sister. He tries going in but Carly throws clothes at him too. After he walks out, Ben calls Carly and tells her that he ran into Jack in Philadelphia and he seems to be in trouble.
At home, Carly calls for Rosanna but she's not around. She calls her on the phone. Rosanna is in bed with Craig."You are so snagged. When you get back here, I want to hear every dirty detail," Carly says to her sister. After she hangs up, Rosanna starts to freak out and tells Craig that Carly knows and they need to come clean today. He refuses. He thinks that they have to make sure Carly has supports in place before they do that. Craig tells her how much he loves her and they kiss.
When Rosanna gets to Carly's, her sister begins quizzing her about her 'mystery man'. As she waves around the negligee she found, Rosanna claims she got that for her. "Craig will like it," Carly says. Rosanna is uncomfortable. Carly says they can never have secrets again and then gushes about how happy she is to see that Rosanna is getting along with Craig now. She wonders what's wrong with Craig and talks about how hard she tried to get him into bed without luck. As soon as Carly steps out, Rosanna calls Craig and asks him how he can lie to people the way he does. She can't do it anymore. He offers to tell her by himself. Carly comes back in and her sister hands her the phone. Craig asks Carly to meet him alone.
Carly shows up at Craig's door in a raincoat. She takes it off to reveal the negligee. He wants to talk but she has other things on her mind. He puts the coat back on her and tries to explain. They're interrupted by Rosanna. She walks in, saying that she didn't want him to handle this alone. Craig makes an excuse and ushers her out. "What the hell was that?" Carly asks. Sitting her down, he explains that he and Rosanna were thrown together when she left. They have a long history and things 'shifted'. Carly cuts him off and says she knows what happened – he must have started to resent her. That's not it, he claims. When she asks him to tell the truth, he announces that he has to go and rushes her out the door. "I'm getting the feeling you don't want me anymore," she says. She kisses him and offers to show him how much she wants him. After she leaves, Rosanna comes back in and worries some more. Craig thinks they should just come out and tell her the truth. Carly suddenly bursts through the door and demands to know when they were planning to tell her they are sleeping together.
