General Hospital spoilers say that if there’s anything we’ve learned about Carly Corinthos over the years, it’s that her life is never boring, nor is she ever subtle. Actress Laura Wright recently opened up about her character and all of the chaos that she’s come across in recent weeks. Here’s what you need to know.
General Hospital Spoilers: Laura Wright Opens Up About All The Chaos In Carly’s World Right Now
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Laura opened up about Carly’s time in Florida. She said, “It was great, super-fun. Linda Purl [ex-Payton], I absolutely love her. My God, I want to bring her back so bad! And it was a great way to really connect Drew and Carly and solidify their relationship.”
Laura also admitted that it was great to revisit some of the things that had happened in Carly’s life this past year. She explained, “This story was about what happened that shaped Carly’s life and what she ran away from at the time. I saw people [online] saying, ‘Why didn’t Carly get in Payton’s face?’ And I thought it was interesting that the reason Carly didn’t, at least at the time, is that she feels that [Payton] is right. This is your best friend’s mother telling you what a piece of trash you were, and you slept with this woman’s husband. I just found that this is the journey Carly is on; she had to come to terms with everything that had happened to her and the choices she made that came from what happened to her.”
General Hospital Spoilers: What’s Next For Carly?
The actress continued, “She had to reconcile with that. Carly ran from Jacksonville; she couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there. And there was a lot of ugly stuff that she ran from. I feel like now, she has come full circle with it and realizes that all those things made her who she is and she has nothing to be ashamed of. She was 16 years old when she was seduced by this man. She was a child, you know? It wasn’t like she was able to make grown-up decisions. It allows her to really look at what happened to her when she was a young woman, a teenager, and to really realize that Virginia did everything she could and really realize, ‘I didn’t have it so bad.’ And Jackie Zeman [Bobbie] comes into it; her real mother, Bobbie, is involved and is really there for her, which is really nice.”
Laura also said there is lots of growth ahead for Carly. She explained, “When she goes home, you’ll see a new side to her. We’ll see for how long! She still is who she is. She’s still a scrapper, she still won’t take stuff from anyone and she is still a mama bear, protective of her family. But this is something that was like divine intervention almost. She had no intention whatsoever of ending up in Jacksonville, but she did. This all fell into her lap, and there are no accidents.”
