After a disastrous Christmas party revealed Drew and Willow’s affair, General Hospital star Laura Wright believes Carly’s reaction might be nothing short of explosive—literally. Here’s why she says her fiery character could take drastic measures against the Quartermaines.
Holiday Havoc
The Quartermaine Christmas party turned into a scandalous spectacle when Michael’s (Chad Duell) secret video of Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) was accidentally played for all to see. Carly (Laura Wright) was among the shocked witnesses, and her reaction was as intense as fans expected.
Furious, Carly confronted Drew and caught Willow attempting to leave the mansion with the children. Her protective instincts kicked into overdrive, and now Wright hints that Carly’s next move could be even more dramatic.
“Scorched Earth Carly”
During an interview on Daily Drama with co-stars Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli), Wright dove into Carly’s mindset following the revelation. When Anderson jokingly asked if Carly would get physical with Drew, Wright didn’t hesitate. “It’s Carly—how do you think?” she replied with a laugh.
Burton chimed in, expressing his frustration over Jason’s decision not to tell Carly why he punched Drew. Wright explained that keeping Carly in the dark is always a risky move. “The second Carly finds out, given her personality, I’m assuming scorched earth, right? She would light that friggin’ house on fire.”
It’s a metaphor fans can easily envision. Carly’s no stranger to over-the-top reactions, especially when it comes to protecting her children.
Mama Bear Mode Activated
In the aftermath of the video, Carly immediately went into defense mode, standing by her son Michael and unleashing her wrath on Drew for betraying his trust. The drama escalated when Carly caught Willow and Nina (Cynthia Watros) preparing to leave with the kids. The fiery look in Carly’s eyes said it all: she’s not done fighting.
“This is Michael—this is her baby,” Wright passionately explained, emphasizing the special bond between Carly and her firstborn. “She loves all of her kids, but Michael is the one that started it all.”
However, with Michael’s storyline set to take a surprising turn as his portrayer exits the show in the coming year, Carly’s fierce loyalty may lead to unexpected challenges ahead.
What’s Next for Carly?
Will Carly truly “burn it all down” to protect her son, or will she channel her fiery energy into reclaiming control over the chaos? One thing is certain—when it comes to Carly, fans should brace themselves for fireworks.
