I scream, you scream...

... Carol handed out Ice Cream! March 30, Carol was at the Oakbrook Marriott Resort, where she was handing out free samples of Dreyer's Skinny Cow Ice Cream at the "Creating Keepsakes University" scrapbooking event. Hey, I don't make this stuff up...
Stay tuned for pictures!

Prison Break Update - Episode 15

Episode 15 aired yesterday, which had two potential appearances. Alas, Carol was visible in neither of them. In the Wrigley Field scene, Carol was somewhere in the crowd of people crossing the street, as well as one of the unidentifiable blurry people across the field from Young Lincoln and Dad (dressed in brown with long brown hair). Check out the red section in the shot below. Do you see Carol?

In the press conference where the VP was lamenting over the exhumation of her brother, Carol was one of the reporters off camera to the left.

According to the previews for next week's flashback episode, several of Carol's upcoming scenes will be in it. Watch for Carol as: The prosecuting attorney at Lincoln's trial, a patron in a restaurant with Michael and Veronica, and a pedestrian outside the window in a restaurant scene. Oh, the suspense!

Prison Break Update - Episode 14

You may have spotted Carol in Monday's Prison Break (3/21, episode 14, 15:35 into the episode), if you get FOX in HD (16:9 Wide-screen-- I do not think she was visible in the standard 4:3 version). In this scene where Nick and Veronica are trying to convince Nick's law school buddy to get them a hearing, you can catch a glimpse of Carol for .83 seconds. See the shot above, far left of the screen. What a performance!

UPDATE: Exhumation Order? See the video clip by below. Don't blink!


(Hint: look at the very left of the screen at the very end of the clip.)

But wait-- there's more! Later, (25:28 into the episode) in the courtroom where Nick and Veronica are making their appeal... Who's that blur? You be the judge...

Janie's Cream Cheese Pie

After taking a small business class last year, Carol began to form a plan for selling Cheesecakes (or cheese pies) using her mother (Janie)'s recipe. After having tested and perfected the process (using many friends and family as willing test subjects), Carol took the step of forming a business. The notice above (which appeared in the DuPage Daily Herald) announces Carol's arrival into the world of small business! Now all that remains to be worked out is Health Department inspection, liability insurance, mass production and shipping logistics.

Lunch with James Woods

It was August 2003 in Las Vegas. While waiting to meet friends at the Bellagio, Carol, Mark and James were having lunch in the Olives restaurant. James had to leave for a prior engagement, but a wonderful time was had by all. Perhaps Carol and James will collaborate on some future project.

First appearance on Prison Break

11/07/05, 27 minutes into episode 10 of Prison Break, Carol makes her debut appearance in her breakout performance as "Vice Presidential Aide". Carol is visible on screen in three shots in this scene. As the camera slowly pans across the area, and moves in on the gazebo as Caroline Reynolds practices her speech, look in the lower right corner of the screen, just to the right of the steps leading up to the gazebo.


As agent Kellerman comes to talk with Reynolds, Carol is clearly visible just behind and to the right of the Vice President.


And finally, as Vice President Reynolds goes off to talk with Kellerman, she turns and motions to her aide (Carol), to "wait there".

Just look at the impatience and irritation in Carol's expression, as the Vice President walks towards the camera. Brilliant!

The Unseen Mourner

In episode 12 of Prison Break, LJ sneaks out of the hospital to attend his mother's funeral. As the camera pans across the scene, a group of mourners is seen at the grave site. Unseen, off camera to the left, is Carol, the mourner. Also on the cutting room floor, is Carol and her Blazer driving from the cemetery in the funeral procession.

The "Almost" Appearance

In episode 8 of Prison Break, an explosion at Veronica's apartment nearly kills Veronica and Nick (Veronica's handyman, Lucasz, was not so lucky). As the secret service agents sit in their car outside the apartment and give an update to an unseen adversary, the police cordon off the area. Carol was ALMOST visible in this scene, as the onlookers pointed and gasped at the horror before them. So close...
