It's like when people throw around the supposed 'fact' that Laura Wright is terrorizing everyone BTS because folks don't like who she plays on TV. It's just something people say because of how they feel about watching her as Carly, a character who pisses a lot of us off regularly. But in terms of claiming LW is throwing her weight around to get her way, it doesn't have much evidence to back it up.

That's insane. I mean, you could say a lot about LW, I'm sure, but I'd never in a million years take her for being a diva BTS. If anything, I think she's the ultimate team player, willing to give 100% to the material she's being asked to play, no matter HOW awful that material might be (and let's face it, the poor dear has been handed more than her fair share of crap material over the years). The only time that I know of where she (allegedly) balked was when GL wanted to pair her Cassie with Robert Newman's Josh, who was Cassie's brother-in-law. And even then, she didn't raise holy hell about it; she just quit.

I can believe LW can be a bit much on certain issues. But if you ask around online there is this whole elaborate lore where Laura Wright made the show hire her boyfriend (Wes Ramsey), threw a fit when Tamara was rehired, made them reunite her with Jason etc etc. And I just don’t buy all that craziness. I do believe the story that they almost replaced her with Tamara in the late ‘10s when they were in negotiations, and got stuck adding TB as Kim Nero instead. But I do not believe LW is some evil queen BTS lol. And yes, she gives 200% everyday.

I don't buy it either. But, boy, am I so glad Frank hasn't thought to bring Trevor St. John onto the show, lol.

I also don’t believe that stuff about her. Do I think she doesn’t take any crap and is direct? Absolutely. She’s been acting in soaps since the early 1990’s so she has seen it all, and I have never seen her checked out. Now I don’t think she has ever gotten to that angry grit that fueled SJB’s Carly, and they never really tried to write her that way because it wasn’t working.

I don’t think Valentini likes drama bts, and wouldn’t put up with it from her. Especially now. I don’t think anyone has any real power at GH bts except for Frank Valentini. The days of Maurice or Steve throwing their weight around are long gone.

I could make a Steve Burton fat joke here, but I'll refrain.

I agree. The only people who get special dispensation (like Setton, JPS, etc.) are allowed them at Frank's behest. But favorites, like Kristen Alderson, can still lose his ear when they ask for a pay bump.
