Jennifer Lingwood was Carla Connor's solicitor. Carla called her in September 2011 when she wanted advice about calling off her wedding to business partner Frank Foster, as she was worried what could subsequently happen to her business, Underworld. When Frank walked in on their meeting, Carla told him it was for her mother's will proceedings. Lingwood advised Carla that Frank could make life very difficult for her if she called off the wedding that she should make the break-up as amicable as possible for the best outcome. Carla was brutally raped by Frank after she attempted to break up with him.
