I actually think her storyline with Johnny is the best thing that has happended to her charater in a while, perhaps since her abortion. Especially since Logan was so abusive towards her. Johnny is probably the best boyfriend she has ever had considering. However I do like that they had Lulu question, fight and stress over becoming involved with him because it was a nice nod to her history.

That's the difference a good actress can sell various degree's of emotions in their character. Sarah Brown even shows that there is a vulnerable, hurt and lovable side to Claudia. We see that she is as tough as nails but when it comes to Johnny she is desperate to keep him safe. Sarah can act and show multiple sides of her character at once. Laura Wright can only do shrill and angry that doesn't have much varation.

See, the thing with me is when Tams was in the role they WROTE moments and scenes like that.

Sarah Brown brought nothing good to Claudia for the first... 4/5 months she was on. Not until these past few weeks when the writing has improved. actors can do alot - create something thats not there they cant.. well a few can, but a very small select few.

Now ya'll know how I feel about Laura, and TB's Carly so I'll just say I strongly disagree with all of you.

For me the only Carly has ever been Sarah, Tamara Carly was a screetch shrew who I wanted to strange through my tv and well Laura is just there for me she does nothing for me as Carly but make me want to slap her even more. I think Carly has been a cartoon character since Sarah left the role. There is nothing rootable about the character anymore. She makes me want to scream and go through my tv an beat the living crap out of her. I want a sista to come onto the show and beat Carly at her own game and beat the crap out of her. I will say I am rooting for her against Kate because that is another one I have no use for at all too.
