General Hospital’s Laura Wright Shares a New Photo That’s *Guaranteed* to Set Tongues Wagging
Saturday, August 14th, 2021
Well, at least the tongue sticking out of the mouth of her and beau Wes Ramsey’s dog, Kimba.
Press “paws” for a moment, won’t you, and join us in delighting in the new photo and video that Laura Wright shared to Instagram. “My girls,” she captioned her first post, a shot of daughter Lauren, a 2021 graduate of Cal Poly (with a BS in journalism), and Kimba, the mini-goldendoodle that the General Hospital star is raising with beau and former castmate Wes Ramsey.
While you’re here, check out the tongue action on Kimba. All we want to know is what was for lunch. (Note that the bowl behind her has clearly been licked clean.)

In Wright’s second post, though her account is called Welcome to Laura’s World, it looks more like Kimba’s world, considering the lovin’ she’s receiving from “sis” Lauren. In response, the Emmy winner’s co-star Maura West (Ava) spoke for all of us, in a way, when she remarked, “I love your girls!”
And before you ask, Wright knows what you’re thinking. That’s why she already shared a post of Kimba to confirm once and for all: “I swear she is real — not a stuffed animal.” (Though, that said, she would be a heck of an inspiration for one.)
If this post has left you in the mood to see photos of more stars and their pets, this is the article for you. If you’re looking for something a bit more, ahem, controversial, our new gallery dedicated to our — and your — unpopular opinions about General Hospital and all the soaps is sure to do the trick. Be forewarned, however: It’s triggering.

<p>“John and Marlena,” <a href="https://twitter.com/DawnElicia/status/1419681105309929476">tweeted Dawn Elicia</a>. “Can’t stand them! Give me real Roman and Marlena along with John and Isabella any day!” While those would be fighting words to fans of <em>Days of Our Lives</em>‘ Jarlena, both Deidre (not Hall!) and Marilyn admitted that they felt the same way! </p>

<p>“I want [<em>General Hospital</em>‘s] Ryan and Ava back together,” <a href="https://twitter.com/sweetsucre/status/1419756581319847939" target="_blank">shared Tracey</a>, immediately seeming to recognize that she was advocating romance for a serial killer. “I know, I know,” she said, suggesting the writers could “fix [him] with a brain tumor.” Hey, it worked for Franco, right? (We suspect that like us, Tracey’s been digging Maura West and Jon Lindstrom since back when they played Craig and Carly on <em>As The World Turns</em>, as pictured above!) </p>

<p>Believe it or not, even before Finn came along, there was a time when <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Steffy wasn’t all about Liam. “I loved Steffy and Wyatt at first,” <a href="https://twitter.com/bpamj123/status/1423046823955124231" target="_blank">tweeted Pamela Bate</a>. “They could have become a real power couple. I also liked Ridge and Shauna. They would have been fun to watch.” </p>

The worlst part is that we get mentions of both characters but never see them… not even Kristina, who supposedly still lives in Port Charles!” </p>

His favorite moment? “The reveal of Molly Malone as the Masquerader is still one of the best reveals. I remember <em>Soap Opera Weekly </em>said we would find out, and as the episode was ending, nothing, and then <em>bam</em>! I screamed out [loud].”</p> <p> </p>

<p>Brace yourselves, <em>Days of Our Lives </em>fans, because what <a href="https://twitter.com/Aaron_Wallis/status/1419794432212230146">Aaron D. tweeted</a> is gonna cause some heads to explode! “People hate when I say I prefer Bo and Carly over Bo and Hope,” he admitted. “But when I started [watching], Hope wasn’t alive.” Missy immediately <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/wp-admin/_wp_link_placeholder">responded</a>, “Them is fighting words!” (But since she ended her message with “LOL,” we think everything’ll be fine.) </p>

<p>Obviously, legions of Sonny/Carly fans have been angrily demanding that “Mike” get his memories back and return to his family. Some <em>General Hospital </em>viewers, however, are feelin’ the “Mike”/Nina vibe. Just ask <a href="https://twitter.com/AmyFeld/status/1423025460351578115" target="_blank">Pink Amy</a>, who tweeted, “I don’t blame Nina for not telling Carly that Sonny is alive. Nina tried, Carly shut her out. I hope Sonny stays with Nina after he gets his memory back.” (Hey, she said it, not us!) </p>

[Matthew Atkinson] gave an excellent performance with ‘Dolly.’ Also, I love to hate Liam. His facial expressions are priceless.” </p>

<p>Many <em>Young & Restless </em>fans have been venting their frustration about the fact that Michael Mealor has confirmed his exit as Kyle and Hunter King is rumored to be on her way out, too. <a href="https://twitter.com/Jojo808allday/status/1423054900477317124" target="_blank">JoJo</a>, however, is ready to see the Genoa City sweethearts go. “I don’t care about Summer and Kyle,” she declares, adding that “their story is boring.” But tell us how you <em>really </em>feel! </p>

<p>When many people think of the much-missed NBC sudser <em>Another World</em>, they think of Mac and Rachel. That’s kinda true for <a href="https://twitter.com/nomisrrek/status/1419947944925712386" target="_blank">Simon</a>… although he does not think of them fondly! “I never liked Mac and Rachel — especially Rachel,” he shared. “I realize most people did. I liked Mac with Janice Frame and kind of tolerated Rachel with Mitch, because I loved Mitch. I just never really liked Rachel.” (What do you wanna bet Simon loved Mac’s Rachel-loathing daughter, Iris?) </p>

<p>“I feel like I am the lone person on the #Millow island,” said WhoKnowsTV of <em>General Hospital</em>‘s Michael and Willow. (Based on wedding officiant Lucy’s face, they may be right!) “I am of the belief that every soap needs one couple who is sane and stable. A couple who could be your next-door neighbor. The Martins on <em>All My Children</em>. Michael and Lauren on <em>Young & Restless. </em>Michael and Willow are that couple on General Hospital.” </p>

<p>“I think <em>Days of Our Lives’ </em>Orpheus is a much better, more realistic and scary villain than Stefano,” suggests Portia. “Stefano was a cartoon character.” OK, sure, but which of them would you call if you needed a babysitter? </p>

<p>For many <em>One Life to Live </em>fans, Natalie’s true love could only be John McBain. But Manon Nadeau much preferred the fiery redhead with another man. “I was a huge #Jarlie fan,” she reveals. “Jared and Natalie are my all-time favorite couple.” </p>

<p>Couples don’t come much more divisive than <em>The Young and the Restless</em>‘ Sharon and Adam. There’s no disputing the chemistry between them, but it’s also difficult to get past their troubling history. Or is it? As self-described “unapologetic #Shadam fan” <a href="https://twitter.com/ynnej2198/status/1419678369302654979" target="_blank">Jenny Lynn</a> says, “I don’t care that he stole her baby.” Well, OK, then!</p>
