Character Bio

Carrie Heffernan is
Doug's beautiful yet sarcastic and sharp-tongued wife. She never finished college and is employed as a hard-working legal secretary. Her constant attempts to make their relationship and daily lives more romantic and meaningful cause
Doug endless frustration, as
Doug prefers things to be simple and to have as few restrictions on his life as possible. The more centered of the couple, Carrie often pushes
Doug to make more of himself and improve his morals but can be just as unscrupulous as he. Carrie has a tough attitude and has been judged by Holly and
Doug as being scary (particularly when she's upset). During a flashback, Carrie finds that she is usually happier (she describes herself as never being truly happy) when others are miserable. Although Carrie admonishes
Doug for his lazy and often self-centered behavior, she has proven herself to be even more selfish at times, with little patience for others' problems or tolerance for their quirks. Many episodes have shown the couple trying to escape some socially unpleasant situation at Carrie's behest with it resulting in her abandoning
Doug who, being the push-over, is left to fend for himself; she once left him lost in a forest to go have lunch, while another time she left him at a bizarre B and B while she checked into a hotel and went dancing. Carrie's best friend is Deacon's wife, Kelly Palmer.
