I never saw Georgie, but I can't imagine any one being crazier than my Margaret! Although...Jen did play crazy Carly pretty well.

Margaret was/is more crazier than Georgie.

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 agree. Laura Wright's Carly is absolutely stone cold.

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.
