It all started when Carrie and Austin returned to Salem.

The situation led to Rafe being fired from his job.

Carrie felt so bad that she offered him a position with her as a private investigator.

They began working side-by-side and eventually developed feelings for each other, perSoap Central.

The pair eventually succumbed to their feelings and engaged in a passionate kiss (viaSoaps).

Of course, Sami walked in on the kiss and lost her cool.

She kicked Rafe out of their house.

Sami and Rafe later got divorced and Carrie went back to her husband, Austin.

However, that wasn’t the end of Carrie and Rafe’s story.

However, that didn’t stop the pair from getting very close.

Carrie and Rafe seemed to fall into old patterns when they found themselves alone and ended up getting intimate.

Although Rafe and Carrie shared an intimate night together, no serious relationship ever came out of it.

Meanwhile, Rafe went on to marry Nicole Walker.
