Yes..I watched that soapnet special....was interesting.
Well it appears all is going to be ok with all the couples...but then again..it is a soap and the writers never leave anyone alone for long..
I will bet that Liz and Lucky end up keeping the baby..
I agree..Jax needs an attitude adjustment period!
I feel so bad about what they are doing to Jason and Sam...I hope the writers have them stay together...

Looks like Jason dies and the old Carly comes back. I hope Lucas is not the one stalking and drugging people on campus

Oh I hope Jason doesn't die...;o(
yeah for the old Carly coming back....!!

 

[bill'swife]

what, is old Carly coming back and replacing new Carly or is she coming back as someone else?

 

[Maxxie28]

Where did you read that she is coming back? I was reading one of the soap mags in the checkout line and she just signed to do a movie -- said she had no interest in soaps anymore.

And re: my last post... I see we're back to bending over backwards for her again... ugh... I'm about ready to stop watching all together.

I think you are right maxxie28. There was a preview for the soap mag during the show that made it seem like she was coming back. wishful thinking on my part

You and me both -- I so wish she were coming back.

 

[Maxxie28]

Ok -- so who's seen it?

I wonder who is gonna take the part? And -- I never liked Robin, I do not like that she is returning -- at. all.

 

[STARINELSON]

I haven't seeen that ! I'm glad she is being recast ! Here's hoping Sarah Brown returns !

I adore Robin; I watched her grow up I hope her mom comes back as well.

 

[2lplvr]

Loved Sarah Brown!!! I wonder if Rick and Reese's one night stand will come out before the baby is born. Poor Emily, I thought reconcliation was on the horizon...

 

[~PICKLE~]

can't wait!!!!

 

[STARINELSON]

Supposedly, her last taping day was Sept 9th

 

[copperboom]

I was reading somewhere that that it is possible that the old carly will come back...they got a new lucas (which has a story line that I will hate) and Jason won't die. I dont know though. Half the stuff you read online is wrong.

[2lplvr]

Carly really will lose what is left of her mind of Jason dies, but it doesn't make sense to kill him off with Robin coming back

 

[copperboom]

You know I read a spoiler the other day that makes me almost positive he won't die. It was about Jason but a few months from now...

Laura Wright is Carly


Laura Wright Cast as GH's New Carly
Posted Monday, September 12, 2005 10:34:24 PM

Though an official announcement from ABC is still pending, soapcentral.com has learned that Laura Wright (Cassie Winslow, Guiding Light) will join the cast of General Hospital later this year in the role of Carly Corinthos.

As first reported by soapcentral.com last week, Wright's name had been bandied about as a possible replacement for the outgoing Jennifer Bransford for several days. Speculation really heated up when Wright announced that she would be exiting Guiding Light after seven years. Bransford was let go last week after five months with General Hospital.

In a statement on her official web site, Wright admitted to exuberantly accepting ABC's offer to take over the role of Carly. However, the actress admits that in order to move on, it meant having to make the difficult decision to leave behind a Guiding Light character that she had played for the better part of a decade.

"As sad as I am to leave a wonderful place that I called home for a long time, it is time for me to go," Wright said. "This was not an easy decision. But my husband and I talked about it and we said, 'What the Hell! Let's live on the West Coast for a few years!'"

Wright will become the fourth actress to tackle the role of Carly. Sarah Brown originated the role in April 1996 and remained with the show April 2001. Upon Brown's decision to pursue other opportunities, Tamara Braun joined the cast. Braun's run as Carly lasted from May 2001 through April of this year. Like Brown, Braun wanted to seek out opportunities outside of daytime television. After what was said to be an "exhaustive" search for a successor, Bransford joined the cast on April 18th, 2005. Her last day with the show was September 9th and her final airdate is still pending.

"I'm also so excited to play this character," Wright beamed. "Wow! What a challenge."

The challenge Wright speaks of presented itself to Bransford - and may have been impossible for her to overcome. There is a large group of fans loyal to actress Tamara Braun who are admittedly still upset that the actress left the show. Upon making the announcement that Bransford had been let go by General Hospital, soapcentral.com was flooded with email encouraging us to consider rehiring Braun. Soapcentral.com, of course, has no influence in casting matters at ABC or any other network. Bransford's work and physical appearance were viciously picked apart by some GH fans. While Braun had some difficulty in assuming the role of Carly from multiple Emmy winner Brown, the resistance facing Braun was far less intense.

"I know so many of the GH fans loved the past actresses who played this part. I know I have big shoes to fill," Wright said in extending an olive branch to fans. "I hope I make you proud."

This will be a return to ABC for Wright. The actress played the role of Ally Prescott on the network's Loving and later on The City from 1991 to 1997.

Wright will begin taping her General Hospital scenes in October upon the expiration of her Guiding Light contract. According to setside sources, the character of Carly will see some off-screen time in order to accommodate Bransford's exit as nearly a month will pass between Bransford's final taping and Wright's first tape date. A first airdate for Wright has not yet been announced, but it is expected to come sometime during the November Sweeps period.

I think she went from stripper to princess, not to far from Carly's character

 

[copperboom]

Haha...never thought about that.
