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.

    • They've talked about having staff at the Dupree house, like Rowena the chef. I just don't think we've seen them.  
    • Really an excellent point. I'm worried about Derek but he's not working. The Duprees being too good somehow ... well, if they say it instead of be it, okay yes, I would worry but as long as they keep on being good, geeze, that's something to celebrate, not worry!!!  Party on?!
    • I blame Mitch.

    • I agree. For now. I am sure in a year's time...a new family (or old) will start to appear on the show. 
    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
