Carly Corinthos
Carly Corinthos (also Spencer) is a fictional character from General Hospital, a soap opera on the ABC network, portrayed by Laura Wright from 2005. A collaborative effort between the writers, Carly – originally played by Sarah Joy Brown from 1996 to 2001 — was introduced under executive producer Wendy Riche. A "love to hate" character who brings excitement to storylines because of her devious ways, Carly is the illegitimate daughter of former bad girl turned heroine, Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman).
Carly seduces her mother's husband for revenge. Throughout the 2000s, Carly, then Tamara Braun from 2001 to 2005, goes on to become one of the show's most prominent, vital and popular characters largely due to her supercouple pairing with mobster Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her friendship with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Carly's revenge on Bobbie and her near-lethal vendetta against A. J. Quartermaine (Sean Kanan/Billy Warlock) — the biological father of her son Michael (Chad Duell/Rory Gibson) – remain two of the most revered and controversial plots in the show's history.
While Brown's portrayal of Carly is viewed as a "duplicitous vixen," Braun's Carly is viewed as more of a romantic heroine. With Laura Wright in the role, Carly goes from being a pampered wife to being powerful business woman while embodying the qualities of her predecessors. Sarah Brown earned three Daytime Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Carly—two in the Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series category and one in Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category. Braun earned an Emmy nomination Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2004. The role of Carly would bring Laura Wright her first Emmy nomination overall – in the Outstanding Lead Actress and her first win, 20 years after breaking into daytime television on ABC's Loving.
Carly was born in Florida to 16-year-old prostitute Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman) and given up for adoption at birth. She was adopted by Frank and Virginia Benson and named Caroline Leigh Benson. Frank left when Caroline was young and she was raised by Virginia, who was an emotionally abusive alcoholic. She was best friends with Carly Roberts and had an affair with Carly's father. After Carly was severely injured in a car accident, Caroline stole her identity and moved to Port Charles. Carly blames Bobbie for ruining her life by giving her up to an awful woman like Virginia (even though Bobbie was not aware of who adopted her baby). She is determined to destroy Bobbie's life by any means necessary.
Villainess Carly (Sarah Joy Brown) arrives in town and ingratiates herself into Bobbie's life when she enrolls in the nursing program at General Hospital. Meanwhile, Carly also begins sleeping with amnesiac Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). At first, they agree to only sex with no names and no feelings, but Jason and Carly soon develop a close friendship.
Carly gets her revenge when seduces Bobbie's husband Doctor Tony Jones (Brad Maule). Bobbie's brother Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) uncovers Carly's true identity and warns to stop hurting her mother. Bobbie however discovers the affair on her wedding anniversary to Tony, making the two bitter enemies.
Carly genuinely falls in love with Tony and she moves in with him. After a fight with Tony, Carly has a drunken one-night stand with Jason's troubled brother A. J. Quartermaine (Sean Kanan) and ends up pregnant. Carly tells Tony he is the father, but when she overhears him saying he is only staying with her because of the baby, Carly convinces Jason to claim the child as his own. Carly gives birth to her son in December 1997 whom Jason names Michael after his best friend, mobster Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Jason has Michael christened, with Emily and Mike are the godparents.
The Quartermaines show up and after much heated discussion Robin convinces Jason to let them stay. Carly shows up near the end but chooses to sit in the back. Carly has a hard time bonding with Michael, but Jason takes care of him and has invited Bobbie into their lives to be the baby's nurse. During a terrible winter storm, Bobbie and Carly find themselves alone in the penthouse and Bobbie tells Carly how much she loved her baby.
