| '''Carolanne Adama''' is the former wife of Admiral [[William Adama]], mother of {{callsign|Apollo}} and the late [[Zak Adama]]. | | |
| | ''Caroline Adama'': Former wife of the famous Commander [[William Adama]], mother of Captain [[Lee Adama|Lee "Apollo" Adama]] and the late [[Zak Adama]]. Other than how she relates to these influential men, not much is known about her. |

| ==Biography== | | ==Biography== |
| The Adamas' marriage was challenging from the start, as William Adama was often reassigned from base to base.
| | Due to William Adama's commitments to the Colonial military, Caroline raised both children by herself. The strain of his absence and his committment to the fleet caused their eventual divorce. |
| | |
| Her father was friends with an important member of the Defense Subcommittee; it was partly through this connection that her husband was able to reinstate both himself and [[Saul Tigh]] in the Colonial Fleet after their post-war furlough {{TRS|Scattered}}. Since William returned to the Fleet twenty-three years before the events of the Miniseries ([[Sources:Adama's Dossier]]), it stands to reason that he and Carolanne were married some time before that.
| |
| | |
| Carolanne knew Bill's longtime friend [[Saul Tigh]] and his wife [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]]. Ellen would later remark that [[Lee Adama|Lee]] was the spitting image of Carolanne {{TRS|Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down}}.

| Due to William's commitments to the [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)|Colonial Fleet]], Carolanne raised both children by herself. The strain of William's absence and his commitment to the Colonial Fleet caused the Adamas' eventual divorce.
| |
| | |
| Carolanne suffered mood swings that upset the others in her family, according to her oldest son, Lee. Later drinking binges after the divorce prevented her from fulfilling (and later apologizing for) promises she failed to keep. Lee Adama believed that, while his father loved his mother, the reverse was not true {{TRS|A Day in the Life}}.
| |
| | |
| Adama and her husband had little contact since their divorce. At the time of the [[Cylon Attack]], Lee Adama tells his father that she is getting married to someone else {{TRS|Miniseries}}.
| |
| | |
| It is presumed that Carolanne Adama perished in the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]]. William Adama takes the occasion of his wedding anniversary each year to recollect his late ex-wife's memory {{TRS|A Day in the Life}}.

| ==Notes==
| | She and Adama had little contact since their divorce, and at the time of the [[Cylon Attack]], Lee Adama had said she was getting married. ([[Mini-Series]]). William Adama had remarried to [[Anne Adama]] some 20 years earlier. |
| * Carolanne Adama was first referred to as "Caroline Adama" in the first season episode "[[Act of Contrition]]". In the second season episode "[[Scattered]]," during a flashback to William Adama and Saul Tigh's days aboard a tramp freighter, Adama refers to his new wife as "Anne". William Adama's wife was referred to as "Carolanne" for the first time in the third season episode "[[The Passage]]".
| |
| *According to the extended editing session podcast for "A Day in the Life," Carolanne's name was originally Caroline. RDM and the other editors note that the change occurred when Olmos used the name Carolanne instead of Caroline. Ever since, Adama's wife has been called Carolanne by the staff.
