General Hospital’s Carly is still out there playing the world’s most dangerous long-con — pretending she’s smitten with Jack while plotting the kind of takedown that will land with a thud heard all the way to Beechers Corners. And maybe because Port Charles is already buzzing with enough chaos to power the grid, the last thing anyone expected this week was a rumor about Laura Wright herself popping up on social media…and spreading fast enough to need a fire extinguisher.

Key Takeaways

  • A fan-shared screenshot of a fake “ultrasound photo” sparked a fast-spreading rumor about Laura Wright and Wes Ramsey.
  • Wright shut it down instantly, replying, “NO haaa this is FAKE!!!!” and putting the chatter to bed.
  • Fans piled in with jokes, side-eye, and frustration over AI-edited images fueling bogus rumors.

A Screenshot, a Question, and One Swift Reality Check

The whole thing started with a fan on Twitter who posted a screenshot of a Facebook image that showed Wright and Wes Ramsey holding what looked like an ultrasound photo. She asked, “Laura, just saw this on Facebook — any truth to this?” The picture had that too-smooth, too-shiny quality of something that had been tinkered with a little too long in an app. But that didn’t stop it from making the rounds.

Wright didn’t dance around it. She retweeted the question herself and shut the door with a laugh, writing, NO haaa this is FAKE!!!! No hedging, no polite deflection — just the digital equivalent of swatting a fly off her shoulder.

Once her reply hit, the comments swung open. One fan joked they were relieved because “people get more ridiculous by the day,” while another said flat-out that you can’t trust anything online anymore. Someone else took a lighter tack, pointing out that if the rumor were true, the child would at least have “glorious hair.” And there was the follower who simply sighed about Facebook being “stupid” — not exactly an uncommon sentiment in 2025.

Fans React — With Humor, Side-Eye, and a Bit of Exasperation

It wasn’t long before the broader flood of reactions followed. A viewer was amused by the whole thing, writing, “That’s funny !!!!” while another just typed, “🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,” — the universal shorthand for this is nonsense, but at least it’s entertaining. One person shrugged that fake pregnancy rumors are still better than the death hoaxes that pop up every few weeks. A few chimed in with dry disbelief — “Wow!” and “Lie.” The whole thing was reminiscent of the time Wright confronted a creepy AI marriage hoax.

Others took the positive route, commenting, “OK, that’s what I thought, although you would make beautiful children.”

But the through-line was the same from nearly everyone: irritation with AI edits and bogus screenshots, and sympathy for Wright having to swat down something so avoidable. The actress handled it with her usual straightforward charm — and the rumor fizzled out just as quickly as it appeared. (Get the details about Wright’s personal brand.)
