She is doing an amazing job in this s/l with Michael getting shot.Her scenes with Steve Burton rock!!

I seriously FLOVE this women. She's been outstanding all year! Give her a damn Emmy already.

Yep- she's mentioned in SOW's Performer of the Week, so congrats to her!

IMO she is overrated. I find her acting lacking a lot.

Well thats your opinion and your entitled to have it. But I don't think she's overatted at all!

I was expecting this reply from you.

I liked her more on GL, but she's alright as Carly.

She is doing a good job this week. She not yelling so much. I'm glad she found a more subtle way to get her point across.

Her performance as always has been underwhelming. I actually think her and Burton's "work" has been awful in this storyline. This storyline has just shown how far Burton's acting has deteriorated since he first came on. LW has yet to do anything for me that shows she is truly distraught over Micheal's perma-coma. Carly should be DYING inside but I have yet to see that.

Kudos to Laura Wright for doing some of her best work since coming to GH. I have officially accepted that she isn't Tamara, and I can't keep comparing her work to what Tamara "would have" done.

That's because she was not lead on GL. She was a supporting actress. On GH she is lead actress. I am sorry but she cant pull it off.

LOL....love ur comment.

OUch....brutal but true.

I agree. Acting like a 35 year old stuck in high school is not "acting." It's pathetic.

She may not be overatted, but she's definitely overrated.

Interesting... I used to do the same thing with Tamara... "what would Sarah have done?" But it took LW's horrid potrayal of the Carly character to make me appreciate Tamara's subtle nuances in playing the role. I've come across old tapes I have from 2002 when Tamara was finding her groove, and she was brilliant, I must admit. Certain subtle choices she made in the least obvious of moments... I was too busy missing Sarah to appreciate her back then. Now, after having continuous earbleeds from LW, I totally appreciate her now.

I shudder to think of what Tamara would have done with this storyline. LW is way better than she would have been.

LW for the first time in a long time is making me feel Carly. She is finally becoming Carly to me, and that's saying something since everytime I see Sarah Brown I see Carly LOL

That's because she was not lead on GL. She was a supporting actress.

Are you sure she wasn't a lead at GL? It sure felt like she was on all the time.

I've tracked Laura's career all the way back to Loving, and to be honest I've never really viewed her other than just your run of the mill soap actress. Not particularly great, not particularly bad. Just average. She just yells and screams a lot...not sure if that's her choice or the director's, but she is never subtle. And before people chime in and respond that the character is not supposed to be subtle, a good actor can infuse subtlety into an over the top role. It's like playing a drunk. Good actors can play it subtlely; lesser ones will be all over the map. Anyway, I was hoping that she would step up her game on the Michael shooting storyline, but so far it's the same old, same old. I'm not comparing her to any of the other actresses who've played her. I will give her this...she has more chemistry with Ingo than any of the other actresses would've had.
