No, Claire Labine, Bob Guza, Karen Harris and Patrick Mulcahey created Carly. Sarah Brown PLAYED Carly. She didn't write her, she didn't create the situations Carly found herself in and she didn't pick her clothes... If I remember correctly during Brown's tenure, she wasn't a character with a backbone. She was a coniving little gutter snipe whose shelf life was coming to its expiration date. And I think you've missed the point to a character in a long-running soap opera format. Each character has to evolve in some way or the character becomes one note. Brown's Carly was becoming that. One note. And how many times did Jason and Sonny have to rescue Brown's Carly? Remember when Carly ran to Jason for protection from AJ? Remember meathook AJ? Remember the marriage of convenience Brown's Carly entered into with Sonny due only to stop her from testifying against him and Sonny wanting only the baby she carried? I don't recall Brown's Carly being, oh now what was it? A character with a backbone? Carly never stands up for herself. She always let others do the dirty work as she stood back being protected.
Come Panic Room.....Braun was a tour-de-force as she dealt with Ric Lansing all by herself without Sonny or Jason to come an rescue her. Braun's Carly played mindgames with Ric and won. That isn't a backbone, that's pure intellect...the aforementioned evolution of a character. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion for sure. However I was a Sarah Brown fan and I found her Carly becoming stale and one note. I stopped watching when Braun came in due in large part to her first weeks and subsequently turned the show back on in 2003 when Stephen Nichols came back as Stefan Cassadine, and I found the Carly I wanted to see Brown evolve into....but couldn't. Braun took Carly into womanhood and gave her substance and direction. Brown couldn't do that. Bransford, had she been given the chance, could have expanded Carly's horizons had the writing been there. As for Wright....what did she say again, oh I remember: "I'm going to be playing Carly closer to the original." Yes, and she also forgot there were two other actresses who played the part and made the character grow and mature and come to a state of self awareness. And those two women were Tamara Braun and Jennifer Bransford. Like you with Tamara Braun, should she come back, I stopped watching due to Wright's total disregard for those other two actresses because if Wright were a real actress, she'd have built on what Braun and Bransford did and uplift Carly. Instead, she's taken Carly back a decade. Not good in terms of character growth or development. If Braun should return, I will return. And what will happen? Carly will regain some of her independence and strength with Wolf at the helm. That I would look forward to.
