Carol Rhodes



Carol Andrea Rhodes is the older sister of Lily van der Woodsen, and daughter of CeCe and Rick Rhodes. A rebellious teen, Carol moved to LA after her parents' divorce to find fame and become an actress. She has one daughter she has kept secret from the rest of the van der Woodsen's, Lola.

Season 1
In season one, Lily mentions Carol lives in Miami. She claims Eric went to visit Carol to hide the fact he was in the Ostroff Center.

Season 2
In season two, it's revealed after Lily was expelled from school she went to LA to find Carol. The two spent a while together in LA, where Carol was an actress in a music video. Sometime after this, Lily and Carol had a falling out, and Lily left to deal with her unexpected pregnancy. Shortly after this, Carol became pregnant and had a daughter, Charlotte "Charlie" Rhodes.

Season 4
In season four, Lily's arrest becomes a big scandal. CeCe has Carol fly in for a "Rhodes" photoshoot to honorr their family in a "Modern Royalty" book. However, the scandal revolving around Lily is too big and the book cancels the Rhodes photo. In the same episode, Carol's daughter Charlie visits the family, much to Carol's dismay. Charlie asks to stay in Manhattan when Carol returns to Miami. Carol doesn't like the idea, but she eventually agrees to let Charlie stay. Charlie falls in love with Dan during her stay. Charlie also gets access to her trust fund during her time in NY.

In the season four finale, Charlie stops taking her medication and goes crazy. After calming down, she calls Carol, telling her "it went perfectly."

Later in the episode, Charlie returns to Miami and is greeted by Carol when getting off the bus. Charlie hands Carol a duffel bag, revealing to be full of the trust fund cheque books. Carol says, "Thank you Ivy, you played your part perfectly." This shows she isn't the real Charlie, and Carol only hired her to gain access to her real daughter's trust fund.

Season 5
In season five, after finding out that Charlie Rhodes is Ivy by everyone, Carol gives Ivy the cold shoulder and everyone shuts Ivy out. Lola is introduced as Carol's real daughter and Lola's dad is William van der Woodsen. Which means William cheated on Lily with Carol and had a baby.
