Carla Connor is a fictional character in the popular ITV1 soap opera Coronation Street. Carla was brought up in a rough Manchester estate, where her mother sold drugs. Carla is married to local businessman Paul Connor. She is played by Alison King. Her first appearance was on December 1, 2006, when she appeared at a Christmas party at the factory.
Carla now seems to think she runs the factory but on 2007-01-03 she found out that her husband had spent all the money she needed to start her children's clothing business.
Carla comes across as very posh and seems to be very bossy especially around the factory girls. She can be quite fashion obsessed and looking through people's clothes as she did with sister-in-law Michelle and Sean Tully.
When Liam told Carla that she was taking up too much room in the factory, Carla was very offended and secretly brought a new desk to upset Liam in return.
Carla interrupted Michelle Connor's date with Sonny Dhillion after she walked in when they were going to kiss and started taking an interest in Sonny herself.
Carla has recently started to manipulate Kelly Crabtree and Joanne Jackson so she can raise money for her baby clothes scheme. She makes them work weekends, early mornings and late nights and occasionally "treats" them to a night out-which ended with only her and Paul.
Carla was angry when Paul didn't come to their anniversary dinner, and made a big deal about it and very publicly embarrassed him. He later treated her, took her to a restaurant and ordered a man play the violin and give them free champagne as part of their "anniversary".
After the Roy's Rolls fire, Carla sacked new worker Becky Grainger and also on the same day got a call from her company saying they wanted to double their order.
After Pauls shocking reaction to Ryans joy riding, Carla began to think Paul was hiding something.
When she found out Paul was responsible for Michelle's late husbands death, her reaction was unforgettable.
