After a hiatus from the film industry, she made a comeback in 2016, producing and starring in the romantic thriller Stalker.
Early life and education
Caroline was born to a Scottish father and a Nigerian mother.[2][3] She is the first of three children.[4] She studied environmental protection management, geography and regional planning at the University of Calabar.[5] She also obtained a certificate of achievement in organizational behavior from Edinburgh Business School in 2016.[6]

Chico Ejiro, through Rita Dominic, introduced Hutchings to the Nigerian film industry in the 2004 film Deadly Care. She starred in other successful films, including Deadly Kiss (2004), Missing Angel (2004), The Captor (2006), Foreign Affairs, Real Love, The Twist, A Second Time and The Beast and the Angel. Her latest film is Stalker, co-starring Jim Iyke and Nse Ikpe Etim.
