May the Best Man Win: Who is Carly’s Soulmate on General Hospital?

There is no doubt that Carly is the center of General Hospital. Can you think of a story she isn’t involved in – whether she’s wanted there or not?

General Hospital Polling

But GH’s leading lady deserves just the right leading man. Are almost 3,000 fans convinced she’s with the right man?

If It Ain’t Broke

Yes, an unabashed 91% of the audience has no trouble decreeing. There is only one man for Carly (Laura Wright), and that’s Sonny (Maurice Benard). Can a relationship that began with hate sex, a coerced marriage, and a stolen child ever go wrong?

Do you think Sonny would shoot a laboring woman in the head if he weren’t madly in love with her? Do you think Carly would defend the killing and blackmailing of just any mobster? No! She condemns those things in others! The fact that she does it only for Sonny proves these love birds were meant to be!

New World

Could Carly meet someone new, please, a much tinier 5% of you are wondering. She’s been doing the same story with the same guy and the same, shrieky dialogue for much, much too long. Doesn’t she want to spread her wings? Widen her horizons? See what other fish in the sea are out there? The Carly who first arrived in Port Charles was hardly a one-woman man. And she’s been with this one man for way, way too long.

Jax Facts

Hey, remember when Carly was married to a nice guy who didn’t commit nearly as many crimes? A last-place 4% of the viewers do! Jax (Ingo Rademacher) is no saint. But he’s no Sonny, either. He’s also Joss’s (Eden McCoy) dad, and, some would say, the love of Carly’s life. If only she’d get it together and figure that out. CarJax for the win, darn it!
