8	->'''Played by:''' Creator/KarenGillan
9
10	An actress who initially left the ''Cliff Beasts'' franchise to pursue more ambitious projects, only to star in an offensive dud that forced her to come crawling back.
11	----
12	* BringMyBrownPants: At one point Dr. Nightingale pisses herself when a dinosaur roars in her face. It's heavily implied this was thrown in to humiliate Carol.
13	* TheHero: Or at least she tries to be this. When production becomes too much for the cast to bear, it's Carol who puts her foot down and says they should quit.
14	* HeroWithBadPublicity: Her constant complaints about her reduced role as well as her attempts to expose the terrible filming conditions make her seem whiny. In the DistantFinale, she has become "the villain" of The Bubble.
15	* HumiliationConga: Carol came back to Cliff Beasts after her other movie tanked, she has no social life outside making the film, her fiance cheats on her and her role is rewritten to becomes ridiculous (as retaliation for her trying to expose the movie's conditions). Her reputation has gotten worse in the two years since Cliff Beasts.
16	* MightyWhitey: She previously starred in a movie as the protagonist who would unite Israel and Palestine...against an alien invasion.
17	* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Carol's on her way to becoming this, despite retaining her youthful looks. Krystal calls her a Boomer, her career came to a screeching halt after starring in a bomb and she had to return to a franchise that made her famous but treats her like shit.

25	----
26	* IWasQuiteTheLooker: While on hallucinogens, Dustin mentions being ridiculously handsome in his younger days. Cue the deepfake of David Duchovny looking 20 years younger.
27	* WagTheDirector: Invoked. Dustin regularly butts heads with Darren for creative control, only to be ignored each time. While speaking out of line doesn't help his image much, it's obvious that Dustin's ideas are ''much'' better than the script he's been given.

56	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
57	** At one point during filming he witnesses a particularly stupid scene and says ''"I must kill them all"''. It's not entirely clear if he's in character or not.
58	** He ends up inviting Creator/DaisyRidley in-universe for the premiere of the finished film, solely because he had sexual hallucinations about his virtual yoga instructor that looks the same. Daisy is completely confused as to why she was invited for the gala.
