General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal that this November, Laura Wright will mark 20 years as Carly Spencer. The show is expected to honor this milestone with a special episode dedicated to this pivotal character.
Laura Wright Assumed The Role Of Carly On November 4, 2005
Wright stepped into the role of Carly on November 4, 2005. As the fourth actress to portray Carly, many fans consider her the best, and she certainly holds the record for the longest tenure in this role.
Carly is central to numerous storylines, so it’s likely that the ABC soap will craft a Carly-focused episode to celebrate Wright’s extensive time on the show.
This episode likely would feature a mix of flashbacks, both positive and negative, along with a retrospective of Carly’s journey since Wright took over the character.
Here are three potential ways this special episode could unfold for Wright; the character has faced many life-threatening situations since her arrival in Port Charles.
Carly Had A Near-Death Experience
There’s nothing quite like facing the possibility of an untimely death to spark deep reflection, and Carly’s faced a few during her time in Port Charles.
In the dangerous world of Port Charles, threats are always present, meaning Carly could easily find herself caught in a deadly explosion or fall down the stairs, landing in a coma!
Regardless of how it happens, if Carly is on the brink of that elusive “light,” she might experience vivid flashbacks of her past mistakes. This could play out through a series of video clips, all while her family and loved ones discuss her history.
One example recently referred to is when Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) trapped her in a panic room-she was pregnant with Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) and accidentally shot in the head!
Carly Has Been Involved In Trouble And Stood Trial Many Times
Fans of GH seem to believe that Carly might put herself in a risky situation over Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting in order to protect her son, Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson).
This could lead to a hasty decision on Carly’s part, potentially putting her on trial for Drew’s shooting. As the prosecution lays out their case, it would be a perfect opportunity for the show to revisit Carly’s past crimes, questionable schemes, and antics.
Given Carly’s history, it wouldn’t be surprising if she decided to take the fall for Michael; she has done this before, marrying Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) to avoid testifying against him.
While Carly has shown more restraint lately compared to her younger years, she still doesn’t always think through her actions before making decisions.
Carly’s Messy Breakup With Jack Brennan
Carly is over the moon about her new relationship, but she’s going to be livid when she finds out Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) has been deceitful.
She’s already gotten into a huge argument regarding Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) over her dating a WSB agent; there’s no anger quite like Carly Spencer’s when she feels betrayed.
As she gears up to end her relationship with the head of the WSB, which seems inevitable, will she pause to reflect on her past romances that didn’t pan out?
General Hospital spoilers suggest that Wright’s 20-year anniversary will align with November sweeps, so fans should brace themselves for a tribute episode dedicated to Carly, packed with drama, chaos, and possibly some intense confrontations.
