Why General Hospital Fans Are Furious With Carly
The ongoing famous feud between Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) on "General Hospital" continues to escalate. The two recently bumped into each other at Kelly's Diner just as Carly tried to buy a piece of pie and discovered her credit and debit cards weren't working. Nina approached her, offering her own card to make the payment as a gesture of goodwill, but Carly furiously rummaged through her purse and found cash, refuting Nina's offer. Having not been invited to her daughter Willow Tait's (Katelyn MacMullen) wedding, Nina politely asked Carly how it was. Carly told her it was beautiful and wonderful and then brought up Nina's late daughter – the evil Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) – citing that Nelle's machinations were what brought Willow together with her son, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). She then reminded Nina that Nelle was a horrible person.
She is unaware that Nina has informed the SEC that Carly and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) engaged in insider trading, resulting in SEC agents showing up at the wedding and taking Carly in for questioning. Drew is currently in Greenland trying to rescue a kidnapped Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), whose bone marrow can save an ailing Willow. Carly told Nina to pray that Drew is far enough ahead of the agents to complete the mission, or Willow might not make it. Carly then got a call from her son Michael, informing her that his new bride had collapsed and was rushed to the hospital — a fact she chose not to share with Nina.
Carly's rant irritates fans
"General Hospital" shared the scene on Twitter, writing, "Nina catches Carly in a compromising position." Fans wasted no time sharing their opinions, with one replying, "Carly is [supposed] to be the rootable one? You couldn't pick a more hateable harpy if you built one from scratch! Let's review the profile for this Banshee. Not likable. Zero vulnerability. Soft as Brick. Constantly Smug. Endlessly Smirking. Bulldozes Over Everyone." Another fan tired of Carly's antics posted, "What did Nelle have to do with anything? Carly is disgusting in this rant."
Across social media, fans noted that Carly was already aware her bank accounts were declined, yet she was shocked when her cards didn't work to make a purchase at Kelly's Diner, which her mother, Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman), owns. Many laughed, poking fun at the fact that the once wealthy Carly is now poor. They were also irritated that she neglected to inform Nina about Willow's current situation. Many viewers claim Carly is making them not want to watch "GH" anymore. And while some fans thought it was tacky of Carly to bring up Nelle in her rant, others felt it was justified because Nelle had severely terrorized Carly and her family.
A viewer furious with Carly posted, "Carly is truly insufferable. The attitude. The smirk. Not letting Nina know her child is in the hospital. Gee, it's a real wonder why more and more of us are sick of her."
