Carole Kelly is the wife of Mark Kelly and the mother of Kyle Kelly. Mark and Carole arrived in the village in April 2020 after Kyle's fiancé Nancy Osborne called and invited them over, despite Kyle telling Nancy not to. Nancy, Kyle, Mark and Carole were awkward around each other, and Kyle soon left to clear his head. After going to The Hutch for a meal, Nancy told Marnie Nightingale that Mark and Carole were really boring and asked her, Leela Lomax and Misbah Maalik for help. Leela was left amused when Mark compared Nancy to Carole.
Leela asked Carole if they had any childhood photos of Kyle, but Carole explained that they lost a lot of photos when their house burned down when Kyle was 15. However, she refused to talk say more about the fire. Carole then talked about Kyles "phases" and explains that when they didn't hear from him in over 6 months, they were afraid that he'd had another "episode". Misbah quickly changed the topic when the conversation turned uncomfortable.
Mark and Carole returned to the village in July 2020 for Kyle's funeral. The pair comforted each other and followed the funeral hearse to the crematorium.
