I’ve followed General Hospital religiously for years, and Carly Spencer—played by the magnetic Laura Wright—has always been my emotional compass. Fierce, flawed, unstoppable. But nothing prepared me for the raw honesty Wright brought off-screen this week. In a candid interview with Woman’s World, she opened up about something rarely talked about in Hollywood: perimenopause. And not just in hushed tones or rehearsed PR-speak.
She laid it all bare—including how it nearly broke her.
When I first read the headline—“Perimenopause Took a Toll on Us”—my heart sank. I immediately thought of Wes Ramsey, her longtime partner and former GH co-star. Were they okay? Was this another casualty of the quiet, invisible war that midlife women fight daily with their own hormones?

General Hospital has seen its fair share of pairings, but one of its current ones is Carly and Brennan. She has been quite busy lately with Sonny having his open heart surgery, worrying about her son Michael, who is in Germany recovering from his burns, and the drama of Drew and Willow.
To add to it, her relationship with Brennan might not be safe when she finds out that he recruited her daughter, Josslyn, to become a Wsb agent behind her back. Laura Wright, who plays Carly Spencer on the soap opera, recently spoke about the looming truth and its aftermath.
General Hospital: Laura Wright On Carly & Brennan’s Romance
During a conversation with Soap Opera Digest, the actress opened up about how Carly is defensive about her romance with Brennan whenever someone is against their relationship.

“I think she sees that there could be a big life with this man who has been to so many places and done so many things and wants to take care of her. I don’t see Carly walking away, at all,” the soap star mused and cheekily added, “Until she finds out the truth,” referring to Josslyn’s hiring into WSB.
The actress pointed out that Carly had a lot of doubt and insecurity when she was young. But now that she has grown and become a very successful businesswoman and a mother, she doesn’t need anything from Brennan. “She doesn’t need him in order to survive,” Laura further pointed out.
“Brennan treats her with respect, which is a very big deal,” she divulged and mused that for Carly, it’s a different feeling. Which is why she is not so turned off by how secretive and dangerous his job is. “And he’s very honest about it, until he’s not,” Laura laughed. She also praised her co-star Chris McKenna, who plays the role of Jack Brennan on General Hospital.
