General Hospital (GH) spoilers that Carly Spencer is about to embark on a new chapter in Port Charles when she officially becomes the new owner of Kelly’s diner.
The character’s portrayer, actress Laura Wright, recently sat down with Soap Opera Digest (SOD) to break down this pivotal moment for Carly, which rolls out the week of July 24th.
GH Spoilers: Bobbie Spencer Will Gift Kelly’s To Her Daughter
Wright is quick to tell SOD that this entire arc was written before actress Jackie Zeman (Bobbie Spencer) passed away. Despite Jacklyn’s passing in May of this year, the show has yet to address Bobbie’s death as of yet. So, Laura explains that Carly won’t “inherit” Kelly’s, rather, she’ll pay her mom $1 for the diner, with the idea that she’ll eventually pay her back the full market price. At some point!
Laura adds that Carly will have major plans for the eatery, which has been in the Spencer family for decades now. She’ll believe that thanks to her experience with the Metro Court, she can turn it back into the “hottest” spot on Port Charles’s waterfront.
