<P> Throughout the show , Carrie has been involved in classic soap opera storylines . Her romantic pairing with Austin Reed ( Austin Peck ; Patrick Muldoon ) led them to be labeled a supercouple . She is the daughter of Anna DiMera ( Leann Hunley ) and Roman Brady ( at the time Wayne Northrop , later Josh Taylor ) , though as a child she was mainly raised by her step - parents , Marlena Evans ( Deidre Hall ) and John Black ( Drake Hogestyn ) . Carrie is a member of the Brady family , one of the show 's two core families . She has a long - standing rivalry with her sister Sami Brady ( Alison Sweeney ) ; Sami has routinely tried to steal Austin from Carrie . Carrie and Sami started to get along better , but their closeness fell apart when Carrie fell in love with Sami 's then - husband , Rafe Hernandez , in 2012 . </P>
