Oh man do I miss JB!!!! She rocked down the house and is much to good for the debacle that is GH. I hope she gets another role. She is too talented to sit on the sidelines.

On a side note, I cannot stand Laura Wright's portrayal. I know she has her fans but man she has not one iota of vulnerbility about her. I would rather them kill off Carly then continue to watch her in her present form.

I loved Jennifer as Carly. I loved all the actresses and what they brought to the Carly role, but Jennifer's Carly was special to me. My favorite Carly storyline with Jennifer was the breakdown story. The writing and acting was just so amazing.

Laura Wright's Carly is just plain bitter and rude...at least under Jennifer Bransford and Tamara Braun she had a loving side and some redeeming qualities.

I may be in the minority here but I felt Sarah Brown did not do as good a job in the role...the true Carly, IMHO, is Braun

Ohhhh, I loved Jennifer Bransford! The other day I watched 2 episodes fom last September that I enjoyed more than when they originally aired, and Jennifer was in it. I don't think she could do sexy hot bomb Carly like Laura or Tamara, so if she had stayed Carly would probably be written differently but she was, like it's been said, *special*, I had a very special connection with her, I don't know why.

She was not bad at all. I believe she didn't work because they chose her probably because of how she looked like Tamara Braun, or if you don't see it like she looked like she could be a substitute, it was like GH was saying you can't have her, you got her, and even if the actress is good I don't see most Sonny/Carly fans liking her, some thought she was not a hottie hottie too, which doesn't help. People saw her as a Tamara Braun bad clone. I hope you see what I mean. But the thing is that she was more in the mold of the previous Carlys, than Laura Wright who anyway I love.

She could've got another role and she would've worked better. I hope she gets another role on daytime, she probably didn't have time to audition, she's been through a tough time. :(

Thanks for the insightful post on Jen!!! It's great that this thread has been bumped.

So, just to make conversation, what current soap roles could you see Jen being a recast for? I could see:

- Alexis (GH)

- maybe Phyllis (YR)

- Taylor (BB)

- maybe Krystal (AMC)

I wasn't that much a fan of her Carly at first because it felt like such a huge jump to me with going from Tamara one day and Jennifer the next. But with the breakdown story she really grew on me and I loved the vulnerability she played with her at that time.

This version we have now is just all rabid dog with no vulnerbility and no remorse or softness. I was a Carly fan through Sarah, Tamara and Jennifer, but Laura's version killed my Carly fandom. There's just nothing about her now that is human about her.

    • I'm going to be so sad when she's written out or leaves. I know characters like this have an expiration date or just come and go often, but I really think she's been an incredible asset to this freshly launched soap. You would think she's been doing soaps for decades, she's a real pro. 
    • Agree that this was a great week that brought some much-needed payoff to storylines that have been building for months. I'm just not sure about the comparison with Guza. I think if he were writing the show right now, the big sweeps event would be probably something like Daniel Goddard's Environmental Physics professor setting off a bomb at the Nurses' Ball and the rest of the cast getting caught in the carnage.

    • I don’t know either But having some random junkie extra be a part of John’s death, and Orpheus still being alive doesn’t feel right  I have no problem with the age gap, but I admit I do kind of side eye the high school element. I mean, when they hooked up 21 year old Casey Moss with 53 year old Kassie DePaiva, I had no problem, but this…

    • Trisha Mann-Grant is so so good. I can’t believe I’ve never seen her in something before.
    • When watching the clip of Michael returning I wonder if the announcer set a record for fastest "the role of..." I've never really connected to any of LLC's characters in her soap career, but I will give her credit for always knowing how to make a reaction and scene count. She did when Gio stormed out of the room, and her reaction to Michael returning and walking off with Miley, even in the background of a scene, was great.  (and how is today the day I just realized Lisa is married to Michael Patrick Jann, of The State fame).
