“Outrage in the GH Community: Why Are Fans Turning Against Laura Wright And Demanding Her Exit?

Laura Wright recently sat down with Steve Burton to chat about their time on General Hospital. The two soap stars have acted alongside each other for nearly two decades.

In that time, they’ve seen plenty of actors come and go. However, fans were upset when Laura seemingly snubbed a fan-favorite character. Now, she’s setting the record straight. Here’s what she has to say.

Laura Wright & Steve Burton Discuss Character History

In a recent episode of the “Daily Drama” podcast, the two General Hospital stars talked about their characters on the soap.

Laura Wright, who portrays Carly, and Steve Burton, who plays Jason, have been there for each other through a lot.

Laura talked about how her character was there for Jason from the beginning.

She always accepted him and even helped him in many ways following his memory loss.

At that time, Jason’s family just wanted him to return to the person he was before.

Hearing this, General Hospital fans were outraged.

They felt like Laura was erasing Robin (played by Kimberly McCullough), who was also a key part of Jason’s story.

“Daily Drama” shared part of the conversation on X. In the clip, Steve is interviewing Laura.

She mentioned that she was the fourth person to play Carly’s character on the ABC soap. Any knowledge she had of Carly and Jason’s history came from research she did on her own.

“When Carly met Jason,” she said on the podcast, “it was a time when no one in the Quartermaines accepted him because they wanted who he used to be back.

And she was the one who loved everything about him, for who he was in this moment.” She went on to explain that it was a big deal for Jason’s character to feel like he was accepted.

General Hospital Fans Furious Over ‘Robin Erasure’

GH fans were ready to battle with Laura Wright after hearing what she had to say. Many of them felt like Robin was really the first person to accept Jason.

One General Hospital fan shared the video and captioned it, “#GH The Robin erasure is INSANE. INSANE.” As it turns out, many other viewers agreed.

One person wrote, “I thought the same thing! Robin was the first person to accept Jason after the accident. She was there when he woke up! And she knew him before so her acceptance was HUGE to him.”

Laura responded to the backlash promptly. She wrote on X, “Oh my gosh, you guys it wasn’t a Robin erase – I meant in the world of the Quartermaines (to my knowledge) my gosh.

Let’s have some grace and kindness – I love the show and all the characters and the actors – nothing but LOVE.”

Another fan backed Laura up, sharing a clip of Jason from years ago telling Hannah Scott (Lisa Vultaggio) that Carly was always accepting of him.

“Yeah, here’s Jason like 25 years ago saying the exact same thing!” they wrote. Laura replied, “Thanks” with a smiley face. Several other fans rallied in her defense, apologizing for the “haters” she deals with.
