Caroline Bishop, played by Una Stubbs, is the maternal aunt of Honey Mitchell, and acted as a surrogate mother to Honey when her mother Janet died during childbirth. Caroline is outgoing, eccentric and vivacious, and visited Albert Square for Honey's second wedding to Billy Mitchell. Jack brought her with him to Walford, which made Peggy Mitchell jealous.
Caroline later returned to Walford for Honey's third wedding, which was a surprise wedding. She accompanied Honey to hospital when she went into labour, and was collected by her boyfriend, Boot.
When Honey wanted to give Janet up for adoption, she visited Caroline, who revealed that she had once given a child up for adoption herself. She also revealed that Boot had left her, taking some of her possessions with him.

Famous quotes containing the words caroline and/or bishop:
“In the drawing room [of the Queen’s palace] hung a Venus and Cupid by Michaelangelo, in which, instead of a bit of drapery, the painter has placed Cupid’s foot between Venus’s thighs. Queen Caroline asked General Guise, an old connoisseur, if it was not a very fine piece? He replied “Madam, the painter was a fool, for he has placed the foot where the hand should be.””
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“The waiting room
was full of grown-up people,
arctics and overcoats,
lamps and magazines.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
