Carla is an accomplished artist who, along with her twin sister Roxanne (Roxy) have been friends with MacGyver since high school. Both her and her sister had a love for rock climbing although Carla was a more able climber, both she and her sister enjoyed the sport and even coxed MacGyver to join them on occasion.

In May of 1987 Carla was admitted to Pine Valley Hospital with severe mental depression where she remained a patient of Dr. Farrell for nearly 2 years. A few months after her release her sister was killed while climbing at Lost Arrow peak. Roxy slipped and fell leaving Carla to take the weight of both of them as Roxy hung helplessly over the edge of the cliff on the safety rope attached to Carla. Realizing that Carla was unable to support both of them Roxy cut the safety rope to prevent Carla from being pulled down with her. This accident sent Carla into another mental breakdown, this time causing her to assume a double personality to try and keep her sister alive.

It wasn't until Roxy was hired to sing for a Rock Against Drugs music video for the http://www.macgyveronline.com/pages/phoenix.html that the double personality was found out by MacGyver and he was able to help Carla come to terms with Roxanne's death.

Also voted good. Audrey was quite the regular on a lot of shows back in the 80's most notably Dallas where she STILL appears!

I thought she did an excellent job, this is one of my favorite episodes. The chemistry between her and RDA was very believable.

When I first saw this episode, I remember trying to put myself in Roxy's position, as depicted in the painting, of sacrificing myself in order to save a family member or friend and hoping they would be okay with my decision.

Growing up I had a crush on Audrey. Her twin sister Judy is just as pretty, there's just something about Audrey I liked more.

Her eyelashes were longer.

YES! That's it! Thank You. I could never quite put my finger on it.

You mean her younger sister. They're not twins. There's 2 years difference in ages.

Really? I didn't know that. They look so similar to each other. All these years I thought they were twins.

This is one of the characters throughout the series that should have had a follow-up episode.

Wow her character is totally believable, the death of her sister disturbs her. Moreover she is formidable, while she is not an enemy of Macgyver. 5/5
