She has been divorced from Alan for years and doesn't even see him anymore so it is about time she ditched the Jackson name and started calling herself Carol Branning.

I got divorced years ago, haven't seen my ex-husband in all that time, and still use my married name. It's not illegal and it's what people knew me as by then.

I kept my married name. Initially because I didn't want to have a different name to my children and now I can't be bothered to change it.

She's been Jackson for nearly all her adult life. She probably regards Jackson as her name now, not just Alan's.

Carol will always be Carol Jackson we've got far too many Branning's as it is. Carol took the surname Jackson before she even married Alan she presumably started using it when Billy was born in the 80s. So she's been a Jackson longer than she was ever a Branning. Alan may not have been all her kids dad but its the surname the whole family took i can see why she would keep it.

I think Carol is too stubborn to revert.

She probably doesn't see the need to go back to Branning

My mum and dad divorced twenty years ago and she still uses her married name. I think most women do, it's not uncommon.

It would be nice if she married again at some point so she can change her name but not to Masood.

Why would you care what a fictional tv character calls herself?

You must be new here. We all treat our soap characters like real people on Digital Spy.

When Carol first started seeing Alan she changed her and her three kids surnames to Jackson. So in 1993 when the family arrived they were all called Jackson even though Carol and Alan weren't married and Alan was not the father of Bianca, Robbie or Sonia.
