Known for her roles in Loving and General Hospital, actress Laura Wright made herself a pillar of the daytime soap opera genre. Although the fourth actress to play the character, Carly Corinthos, Wright encompassed the role and eventually landed a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2011. Before General Hospital, the actress landed a role in Guiding Light. Surprisingly, Wright starred in two of the longest-running soap operas in history, Guiding Light and General Hospital. But it seems that it might be the end for Wright and the daytime show. Or at least that is what the Internet is saying.
As rumors of Laura Wirght’s exit from General Hospital circulated, fans questioned what would happen to Carly. According to the storyline, Carly is currently in a storm of controversy. Her love interest, Drew, received a brutal beating from two inmates and she is still unsure who reported him to the SEC. With so many questions left unanswered, fans hoped that the news was nothing more than gossip. Others wondered what would be next for the actress if the rumors were true. Spending her career in the world of soap operas, it only made sense that some drama would follow Wright into the real world.

Laura Wright is a phenomenonal actress who lights up the screen in every scene that she’s in, I love the character Carly Spencer and I’ve been blessed to see each of the actresses who have played Carly for over50 years so I know just who Carly really is, and Laura Wright has made Carly Spencer the best lead actress on GH and she always brings it with any scene she’s in she is smart sassy fierce and extremely loyal to all the people she loves but she will fight like hell to protect and defend her family she makes mistakes and always own them and refuses to let anyone tell her how to run her life and will.do whatever she has to do if she feels threatened or if she knows that someone is trying to hurt her family she is a fighter who refuses to let anyone control her
I totally agree! I love Laura Wright as Carly. I also like Steve Burton as Jason. GH was kinda boring without him.
They’re hardly using him in a storyline. They bring back this amazing character and he’s hardly on. What’s wrong with these writers?
I feel you! I said the same thing!
I agree! Been watching for 45 years and this Carly is my favorite! Don’t let her go.
Don’t let Jason go, either. They’re such good friends.
I also totally loved Luke Spencer! He’s a Utahn and I saw him at he airport here one Christmas Eve.
Laura forever!!! I love her on General Hospital. Her partner is not so bad eather. I really wish he was still on General Hospital.
Mine also
they have too many story lines going at same time. to give Steve or anyone
quality story time . What’s this about Laura leaving and show being canceled?
noooooooooo!!!!!!!
Been watching since day one. I watch every now and then. The powers that be have ruined General Hospital. They fired Billy Miller which led to a tragic. Then they fired Johnny Wactor. He went to work at a lounge after GH and was killed. Just my opinion but they share some of the blame. And the way they play with GH history is terrible. Rewrite history. Sad story.
I agree totally100%.Carly is my fav. character on gh. she is loyal and she loves her family and would do anything 4 her family and her friends. she is a no nonsense type and is not afraid to tell u off if in a heartbeat if u mess with her family and kids. Laura Wright though not the original made Carly her own and I can’t see anyone else in the role
Laura Wright is the BEST Carly EVER she is VERY professional when she has to be…. ( I believe Carly is Laura’s second personality) 😉She’s just beyond words I just LOVE HER bad ass ways and how “””SHE made Carly “”” Wonderful actress and ” Thank you Laura…And good lord you have absolutely beautiful thick hair.. Could go on and on but at the beginning of show I always see if Carly is on if not just dvr and watch later..when I heard the rumor Laura was possibly leaving it just crushed me .(Carly & Jason”) Very happy your staying we’ll keep you forever also “WELCOME BACK JASON” OH YEAHHH Jason’s still ” Stone cold yummy” LOVE ALL OF GH….
Sandra, are you from Sylacauga, Alabama? I know a Sandra Knox from there.
if Carly goes I will stop watching!!!and I have watch scenes day one
Please don’t give up on GH! Too many good people are leaving. I’m 68 and watched since I was 7 yrs old
I have been watching General Hospital for over 50 years. They are the Number One soap so don’t take none of the stars off Love Sonny, Carly, Jason glad that you are back don’t ever leave again. An hope to see Lucky real soon. Sending all my LOVE to everyone.
I think the writers are killing General Hospital!! Fire the Writers!!! Before the kill the show!!!!!!!
I TOTALLY AGREE!
Carly and Jason are great they need to have sonny realize something is wrong with his bipolar meds. so he can get back to himself again before his whole world blows up and he won’t be able to do anything to help the people he loves now that he gave Ava the boot out of his home.
Love Laura Wright! But My absolute favorite actor now and always is Roger Howarth. What a damn shame he’s not on a show right now.
I agree, I love Finn and Franco and miss their amazing acting!
Why would they ever let such great actors go???? I’ll never understand….
the bosses are getting rid of actors who have been on GH a long time, what is going on,?
Don’t be the next soap to leave tv. You are one the two great ones left. Please do whatever it takes to stay on air and keep giving us great entertainment.
I agree! Love General Hospital! 🥰
really? I can’t pick only one! just live for gh and don’t want to live without it in my life! best show on tv. been watching since beginning and hopet to see it forever.
what can I say she is one fine acting lady surely would not be the same without Laura at the helm
A recast of her, Sonny or Jason ~ would make it hard for me to continue to watch. I am a die hard GH fan. BUT, these 3 are simply irreplaceable. As are a few more. BUT, these 3 in particular? It would change the dynamic/chemistry … and, not in a good way. They are a triple threat when it comes to casting and executing their roles. Don’t do anything crazy GH producers. PLEASE!
I so agree,I have watch this show for as long as it has been on. But I’m done getting rid of all these wonderful actors it’s terrible, enough is enough!!!!
