Carrie does make it clear over the years, that she "could have done better" (than Doug), but its obvious that she loves him and in the end is satisfied with her choice.Īs the story is told, after difficult teenage years, Carrie met her future husband Doug Heffernan one night at a bar, where she originally met Doug's friend from school, Richie Ianucci ( Larry Romano,) who wanted to bed Carrie. This begins to irritate Carrie, who had always been the one that stood out to everyone who knew or met them. As the seasons progress however, Doug begins to lose weight, become more fit, and become more attractive to women in particular. It is a deliberate mismatch of looks, allowing the storyline to compensate by evolving the good chemistry between them, displaying overt affection to one another, and building their love story, independent of how different they are.
SKITCH KING OF QUEENS TV
He makes no excuses for his love of food or his desire to watch as much TV as he possibly can. Carrie is a beautiful woman with an attractive figure, whereas Doug is a sloppy dresser and over-eater who doesn't take his fitness, health or weight gain seriously. The coupling of Carrie and Doug in the King of Queens is an attempt to create a subtle "beauty and the beast" scenario in modern times. Also in this episode it is snowing during her birthday dinner, making it nearly impossible to be in July in New York City. Although it was later stated her birthday was July 16, 1971, in Season 1 Episode 15 titled "Crappy Birthday" which aired February 1, 1999, it is stated her birthday is "this Friday the 19th" and Februdid land on a Friday. Little is known about Carrie's mother Sophia, except that she died when Carrie was 15, leaving Carrie in a state of confusion and loss.
