  • Caroline McKenzie-Dawson (also Caroline Elliot and Caroline Dawson) is a fictional character in the BBC1 drama series Last Tango in Halifax portrayed by Sarah Lancashire. The character was created by lead writer and executive producer Sally Wainwright and appears from the first episode of the series broadcast on 20 November 2012. Lancashire was initially unavailable to commit to the series, but was cast after the production of Betty Blue Eyes she had been starring in closed early. Caroline, a successful career woman, is introduced as the daughter of protagonist Celia Dawson (Anne Reid), who falls in love again in her mid-seventies. Lancashire states that is her mother's second marriage that inspires Caroline, a closeted lesbian, to "finally be herself". The first series of Last Tango in Halifax deals with the break-up of Caroline's marriage to John (Tony Gardner) and the establishment of a relationship between Caroline and her colleague Kate (Nina Sosanya). Wainwright had intended Caroline's love-life to provide a source of drama and believed a gay relationship to be a more interesting story. Caroline's sexuality is a source of contention for Celia across the series, Anne Reid noted that their arguments are "vicious"; whilst Lancashire noted that Caroline is "wounded" by her mother's "non-acceptance" after she decides to marry Kate. In the third series, Wainwright decided to kill off Kate, as she felt this the only way to reconcile Celia with her daughter, leaving Caroline a widow and single-mother. The character of Caroline has received both a strong fan response amongst gay women, and a positive critical response from the media. In 2014 Lancashire won the British Academy Television Award for Best Supporting Actress, having been previously nominated in 2013. (en)
