Two for the Show

‘May You Cut In? Mm, No’
Image Credit: Robert Milazzo/Disney General Entertainment/Getty Images Casey being a hot commodity and all, Ally had to fend off any number of interlopers, among them Rebecca Gayheart’s Hannah Mayberry.
-
‘You Again?!?’
Image Credit: Robert Milazzo/Disney General Entertainment/Getty Images You can see how Wright had Ally react to Hannah’s interest in her other love interest, Bull leading man Michael Weatherly’s Coop Alden. It was a whole thing.

Black and White and Red-Hot All Over
Image Credit: ABC/Getty Images (3) Obviously, Ally was the better choice for Coop. When you can generate this kind of chemistry in nothing more than still photos? C’mon.

-
Here Comes the Bride
Image Credit: Robert Milazzo/CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection Against all odds, in 2000, Cassie became kinda-sorta the Princess Diana of San Cristobel. All she had to do was say…
-
‘Hey, Good-Lookin’!’
Image Credit: Robert Milazzo/CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection There were no glass slippers involved, but Guiding Light did indeed give Cassie her own Prince Charming — Bradley Cole’s Richard Winslow.
-
If Looks Could Kill…
Image Credit: Kwaku Alston/CBS/Getty Images … Cassie probably would have had a rap sheet a mile long.

iCarly
Image Credit: ABC (2) Upon leaving behind the role of Cassie, Wright succeeded Sarah Joy Brown, Tamara Braun and Jennifer Bransford as Carly on General Hospital.
-
Could It Be Magic?
Image Credit: ABC Years after Wright joined the soap, she finally got to throw sparks with Maurice Benard, whose Sonny Corinthos had had heavy story with all the other Carlys.

So Close and Yet So Far
Image Credit: ABC (3) Though Wright’s real-life boo — Guiding Light alum Wes Ramsey — played Peter August on General Hospital for years, their characters were never paired.

Basic Black?

Quacking Us Up
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI “Duck” all you like, there’s no missing the sweetness of these shots of Wright with a couple of fine, feathered friends.

Shimmer Down Now

-
Gold Rush
