Any smart writer, would use this as a time to reset Carly as a character, she's lost Jason, she's on the verge of losing Sonny to Nina, there's a massive turning point for the character here, but honestly I won't hold my breath to see anything substantial happen to Carly as a character after Jason's 1000th presumed death.

It would be a great opportunity but Carly’s life is so hollow now.  And over explored at the same time.  Too many years have left nothing to grab hold of, and there are literally no avenues currently set up for her to change course.  She owns the hotel already.  We met her dad and that turned out not great.  Everything was revealed about Nelle. Jason is gone so she doesn’t have a player to complain about Sonny with that has the same issues with him.  No AJ to create another Monica/Alan dynamic and reinvigorate her.  Michael is with a bland character with no conflict with Carly.  It reminds me of the period of time Laura was just miserable between Lucky’s death and then Luke telling her he was alive.  She was just there, grieving, while everyone else was involved in the motions of the story.  Except she at least had better day to day writing to hold onto, even if there was no actual story for her.
 

They have almost completely removed her from having a point of view that makes any sense and anywhere to go IMO.  They could cast a new love interest, but they have to build it up somehow.  For the first time in a long time, I feel there was/is natural story for Sonny and even Jason already there and set up.  But not for Carly.

There's ways to do new things with Carly. But it would require investment in changing key things on the show and with the couples, and for me it would require Sean Kanan as A.J. (he'll be free again soon enough, that's B&B for you) and yes - Sarah Brown. I love Laura Wright and I think she does great work if you can't get the original, but I have never not wanted Sarah back and that'll never change. Would I work with LW if she was the only option of the two? Sure.

The writers and show runner have no interest in changing Carly. They think current version is the heroine we want.  But I would love for Carly to have a true reckoning with herself. I think LW could pull it off, I just don’t think the show thinks fans want that. She will definitely be blaming Britt for this.

A hot (and possibly unpopular) take on Carly - I liked her prior scenes with RH, so why not try a Carly and Austin pairing?  There is built in conflict because Austin is fighting for his part of the Quartermaine fortune, and Michael wants to maintain his place in the family, so if Carly got in the middle there are a number of possibilities.

Yeah, I was running over here to say the same @j swift.

 

Carly and Todd was a good coupling and it would be interesting if we must keep RH if they tried to test if the two of them still had chemistry. 

 

That said...I would be down for Carly...losing Jason and then Sonny to Nina...having a breakdown. Other than when JB was in the role, they really have not touched on her breakdown in a long while.

With IR and SB firing themselves and Sonny likely turning to Ninny, viable screen partners for Carly <cough> should be A.J. <cough> I would chem test her with Cameron Mathison, put her in scenes with Shawn and Finn. Ultimately, I'd like to see her decide to be alone  for a little while, focusing on her kids and career and unexpectedly finding herself falling for Drew-- who by that time started caring about Elizabeth....   JMO

Every time I see FV or LW interviewed about Carly's upcoming storylines, they always say "...and of course Carly stomps in and throws her weight around, because that's Carly being Carly!" Basically, the show has a specific, one-dimensional view of the character, and they keep it simple like that because they assume that fans live for Carly 'kicking ass' and being a 'boss.' And LW, who is both popular and polarizing, delivers on that characterization. 

GH missed a trick with the Jason wedding. Jason has always been the one who got away. Sonny was kind of Carly's second choice back in the day because Jason never really wanted her. And Carly was able to suppress that rejection because she had Jason emotionally tied to her via Michael for years. She put up with being friend-zoned for +2 decades, but the wedding should have been the dam breaking for her, where finally, FINALLY, Jason was going to be all hers. Finally she had another chance to make him fall in love with her the way she had always been with him. And then Sonny comes back, and of course she HAS to get back with Sonny but... And thereupon we have new storyline of five people featuring Carly, Jason Britt, Sonny and Nina, and with Carly perhaps no longer willing to keep her frustrated desire under lock-and-key anymore.  And with Jason presumed dead, this could send Carly in a tailspin where she is forced to come to terms with having her 'second chance' with Jason nipped from her grasp. Anyhoo, I'm doing what a lot of viewers do which is "If I was HWing this sh!t..."

    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
