Can someone straighten me out on this whole Carly/Charlotte business? Who's Bobbie's daughter-Carly or Reese? And which one is the adopted daughter of the Bensons, whom I remember visiting on the show? It must be the present Carly, I would think, otherwise wouldn't they notice that it's not really their daughter? I'm so confused! And who's Durant's daughter?
someone else asked this not to long ago here's my response.
The Carly we know, Caroline Benson, Bobbie's daughter (with John Durant), stole Carly (Charlotte) Roberts identy when she 1st came to PC. Reese is the 'real' Carly Roberts.
Bobbie's daughter was always Caroline Benson, the person we know as "Carly" so no Reese can't be Bobbie's daughter. When Carly (as played by Sarah Brown) first can searching for Bobbie she wanted to distroy her life. She took her dead friends identity because Bobbie (actually Luke I think) knew her daughters name was Caroline Benson. Carly didn't want Bobbie to know she was her daughter until after she tore Bobbie's life a part.
Caroline and Charlotte were best friends in HS. Charlotte was 'killed' in a horrible car crash that's why Carly (Caroline) never drove etc.
The rest is pretty much 2005 history rewrites. Charlotte Reese Roberts survived the crash...blah blah blah and now wants revenge on Caroline 'Carly' Benson for stealing her name and what ever else she perceives Carly stole.
In a nutshell.
'Carly Corinthos' is Bobbie and John's daughter, she was adopted and raised as Caroline Benson by Mr and Mrs (Virgina?) Benson.
'Reese Marshall' is Charlotte Reese Roberts who up until the car crash in HS where she was presumed dead went by the nickname Carly. After healing from the car crash and marrying Evan (?) Marshall she started using her middle name Reese.
More confused than ever??
