When Daniels, who played Carly's father Kevin Wicks, quit the serial, producers decided to write out the rest of the Wicks family. Discussing her contract failing to be renewed, Shirley stated: ``It's a shame the option on my contract hasn't been picked up, but it wouldn't feel right to remain in the Square without the rest of my family.'' In her final scenes Carly and her stepmother Denise (Diane Parish) decide to go travelling to scatter Kevin's ashes.
