STATE OF MIND with MAURICE BENARD: LAURA WRIGHT (REPOST)

[@julierutkowski7654]

THE BEST CARLIE EVER. LAURA, THE ROLE WAS MADE FOR YOU XOXOXOX

[@JJ-um5ec]

Sarah was great as Carly at the beginning of her journey

[@FRanceSource]

I LOVE her...especially her laugh. Her hair is freeking to die for even for a graying brunette. Actually fully gray. What a beautilful soul.

[@Nanamoma11]

You and Laura are by far my favorite!

[@tabathaholder9993]

We love you Maurice Benard. The actor. The character. You are Full of love and passion God bless you Maurice God brought you a long way God bless your life

[@olgaarocho1746]

I enjoy watching State of Mind. I must mention that I was deceived by an❤😊❤😊 FB impersonated, stating he was you and wanted to be friends on telegram. Anyway, I blocked that person because he started to ask for a donation like a gift card for his cause, like the kids from the European War. etc. I blocked, and it's difficult to be a fan today and trust. But I have been a big fan of GH since 1977, and it has been cast throughout the years..

[@elishawalcott4729]

We would love to have another episode with laura wright

[@KARENboomboomROXX]

Yes, she's got a lot to share about breaking out of our past deep programming. This interview really moved me.

[@PhedreGoldshark]

You know this State of Mind today is the first one I ever watched. Then once I watched the one with Alex Clark, I realized we were the same, I didn't feel alone anymore. Thank you for the many people you help every Sunday. ❤❤❤❤

[@MBStateOfMind]

That is awesome!

[@ColetteGiambelluca]

Listened to this one before- definitely gonna listen again. So happy you do this Maurice - helping people feel not alone in their struggles! ❤

[@lisahull7165]

Laura, you are my favorite role model for confidence. I love how your role is such a strong female. You're an amazing actor ❤️🙏😘

[@MBStateOfMind]

[@JaneDoe-ov1hb]

Had I already watched this interview? You bet, several times in fact. But did I watch it again? Absolutely! Hopefully there will be another new interview with Laura down the line but I'm just always happy to watch her,no matter what! She had me in tears again,talking about the loss of her parents...since I lost mine a year apart and I spent the final days with my mom in Hospice Yes,Laura is definitely one of the best, not only in daytime but in the acting world period! She just kills it anytime she's on screen and I when the 2 of you are in scenes together, incredible!

[@MBStateOfMind]

thank you

[@Andrea-m3d]

Two beautiful human beings. Blessings to you both.

[@purple_bboop5392]

This was a great repeat interview. I went through the same thing with my Mom at the end of her life. With hospice, laying on floor for a week. In. In a coma, then she sat up and said, your dad needs me to help bake cookies. Take me to the kitchen. Then she actually did meet with daddy then,as he had passed 6 years before. I feel for Laura so much. Thanks for this awesome interview. Have a blessed week. ❤️❤️

[@MBStateOfMind]

Thanks for sharing!

[@andrealong5619]

I’ve been watching you since I was a kid. I’m turning 40 in June. my mom and Aunt used to watch you guys every day at 3 o’clock after the other two ABC soaps… they used to tape your episodes, and one of my first words was Sonny! When I got into my older childhood years and found out you were married, I cried for two days! 🤣 now that I’m older I understand who you are as a person and not just sunny. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder plus I was an addict for 10 years. I’m going on 120 days so now I’m working on getting my daughter back thank you for being part of my life and sharing your story, you’re very admired ❤❤

[@DeeDee-mv2uw]

I always enjoy watching state if mind, Maurice. I hope you realize how many people you help. God bless you.

[@martinawatson366]

This was the BEST one! So glad i finally watched it and I found it because I follow Laura on Instagram. She mentioned her zoom meeting and I wanted to understand the Sacred Space. It was definitely explained here!

[@debdefla]

Loved the interview and Laura! She seems like a wonderful person! Thanks for showing this again!

[@joanparker2443]

Good afternoon Maurice I am so glad Laura is on today.❤️❤️👍

[@MBStateOfMind]

Morning!

[@--Tessa--]

I've seen this episode already but I played it anyway. Glad I did. Love the message in the beginning. You help me n so many, more than you'll ever know. Thank you! 💜

[@MBStateOfMind]

You are so welcome

[@vanicee5142]

Laura i can totally relate to your childhood because mine was similar. Cry and I'll give you something to cry about, spanked with a belt, no discussion only being told, caused low self esteem, and not knowing who I was so I too tried to be what ever someone wanted me to be it all sounds so familiar and I'm 10 yrs older than you. So glad to see how well you've come out of it. I love your attitude now and how your out look on life is.

[@MBStateOfMind]

thanks ❤

[@katheleanrichardson883]

Hi Marice! I watched this interview with Laura Before but I will watch it again! I love this lady ❤️

[@MBStateOfMind]

Wonderful!

[@katheleanrichardson883]

Marice I watch GH Every I never miss one because I record all of them😅 I've been watching you on gh ever since you started on the show! Also since Gh first premiered! I'm a loyal fan ! You are amazing and knocking this part out of the park! You are one Brilliant actor in my book! I love you! Keep doing what you are doing! God bless you 🙏 ❤

[@LizSteveDavis]

I watch every week & have NO idea how I missed this 1, TYVM❤❤❤

[@gweesha728]

Love her! This was deep and hard. She is a brave soul. ❤

[@gingerkitzerow5079]

Thank you so much for all you do for mental health. This channel is great and I'm sure it helps so many people to know they are not alone. ❤

[@MBStateOfMind]

❤❤❤❤

[@cbearden3146]

I truly enjoyed that episode and I love Laura she is always bubbly and laughing. ❤

[@marykaywilder1362]

I just watched for the second time, as a big fan of Laura's (the "heart" of GH, IMO). I'm so so glad she brought up the book, "The Four Agreements". I read it years ago and it's the kind of book that truly makes a difference to the focused reader. Everyone should read it to make the world a better place!

[@MBStateOfMind]

thanks

[@Lisafallgirl420]

In 95 put me on Zoloft going through my divorce. I didn't need it. I needed to get away from my ex. Grieve the loss. Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for State of Mind.

[@kathythomas4839]

You are so right about the increase in mental illness. I have worked in a dental office which is located in a mall for over 30 years. I have noticed a huge increase in the number of people with mental illness. They don’t seem to have a place to go for support, assistance or a place to live. It is very sad.

[@MBStateOfMind]

we will keep trying to figure it out

[@monicazaragoza3104]

So nice to meet you yesterday at the ALS event. Love all you do! Thank you 🙏🏻🤗❤️

[@MBStateOfMind]

You are so welcome!

[@ambsat]

I never even knew of that 3rd Carly...must have been short-lived and on one of my "breaks" from GH. To me Sarah Brown was, of course, the OG, extremely talented, real, raw, intense. And man, she could cry! Which she did...a lot. Lol. Tamara was always my favorite Carly, and I think because of the way you describe her Maurice...I loved her vulnerability, beauty, she was kind of cool and very different from Sarah. She was tough and soft...I related to her type the most. Plus I just think I remember some iconic moments with her...that really moved me, like when you all thought you lost young Michael. I just loved her and have a soft spot for her. But definitely Laura Wright earned all our respect. To me, she is the most ballsy, confident, takes no prisoners, Carly. She took the bull by the horns and RAN with that role, to OWN it. She definitely, as you said, made it her own and has become iconic Carly. Kudos to all 3 very talented actresses, (sorry about the one I never knew so I'm omitting her here), who have given life to Carly.

[@MBStateOfMind]

thank you

You have no idea how much "state of mind" helps me!!!!!! Thank you Maurice Benard!!!!!!!! I've been watching you since 2000!!!!!!

I love Laura, a bit disappointed that this is a repeat episode. But, I'll take watching her no matter what!💖

[@SusanSpinky25]

Laura said they are planning a part 2.

[@vistatrista7]

Still powerful the second time watching this

[@janetjennings8751]

Man, when she was talking about what was expected of her through her life growing up it reminded me of my own life and I understand how she felt. I was always thinking that I had to fix everything and everyone so that everyone would be happy-go-lucky and I was trying to be as perfect as I could be. Love you both 💓 Carly and Sunny 🌞

[@MBStateOfMind]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@janetjennings8751]

@MBStateOfMind Thank you for all of your years of Sunny plus Mike and of course along with tIhe wonderful actors on General Hospital, and I do love all of you.I am 66yrs old woman who has always loved watching General Hospital since Sunny first started on the show. But anyways thank you for all the tears, the laughs and just pure joyous and beautiful entertainment throughout the years. Thank you for all of your service on your wonderful and yes I do watch of course podcast and your years of Sunny who doesn't love Sunny?

[@MBStateOfMind]

thank you

[@alswonderland]

Wow what Laura said about only being taught to look pretty and she didn’t know what she liked/low self esteem-that was me too. On the outside I seemed strong but inside I wasn’t comfortable. I’m still working on that 30yrs later.

[@MBStateOfMind]

thank you

[@dianemancino]

Love state of mind

[@dianemancino]

Sonny n Carly love them both u 2 SO GREAT 2GETHER❤❤

[@kochayeo]

Thank you for reposting this. I often come back to this episode where she spoke about how she had a Coming of Age story back in 2017, when she was 46 years old. It parallels my own story of having experienced this beginning back in 2023 at 38 years old. And I've had some of the same struggles that you've spoken about with mental health. So when you spoke out about it, it was so powerful. Besides you Mr. Maurice being a legend in the Daytime Entertainment industry. And I love each of the actresses who have portrayed Carly Spencer. Sarah Joy Brown, Tamara Braun, Jennifer Bransford, and Laura Wright. ALL are special. And have added layers to the character of Carly. Which makes her a WHOLE person. Finally, whenever I'm acting, I always use You, Mr. Steve Burton, Ms. Tamara Braun, and Ms. Laura Wright as my muses into my acting craft. Keep up the great work 'Sonny.'

Both great!!!❤❤

[@avamm1957]

Carly (Laura Wright) really helped me to see that when you go through bad stuff how you can change and accept the reality of the situation positively. I like the “jar at the end of the day” and putting in what you are thankful for. Also how well she took the deaths of both parents. Both are mine are gone. I love this Carly the best. I was there for all of them ❤

Love Laura So Down 2 Earth so Happy she s on State of mind Great Actour u Maurice love Laura Great .ACTRESS

[@JR-tv7dj]

WOW MB!!!!! Thank you so much for this interview with LW. It brought so much closure and light to my life. I know GH is just a fictional show, but speaks to me, and was pure therapy for me and I'm sure many of the viewers. It brought back all the love and admiration for You/Sonny. I've been so angry with your actions and took it very personal. I saw the video of you dissing Laura, stating you didn't want to work with her anymore, and how the fans were turning against you for it. Films are so important, especially today, possibly more than they should be for many of us. The thing I loved more about your character other than being a Beautiful man, sooooo easy on the eyes, a Mob Boss, but most of all I loved your "FAMILY FIRST motto: The most attractive quality about you. Seeing your character betray his family, became to REAL for me. Reality and Real life became blurred. It affected my mental being. (Yours actually affected me), it shouldn't, but did. Carly and your family really love you, and to see you turn your back on, betray, and hurt them so bad, was so damaging to many of the fans mental health. (It's really is not your job to worry about everyone's mental well being), but it was a painful time for fans too. This State of Mind show, help me to separate Soap from reality more clearly. I can see that even though you made those comments, which you have the right to feel how you do, didn't mean you really disliked Carly/Laura. You played your character too well. I apologize for all the negative comments I've written about you, I hope you can SINCERELY forgive me. You two were such a beautiful real couple and family. Thanks again to this State of Mind interview, you really are the beautiful imperfect man I've love for not as many years as many, but for years. I SUBSCRIBED to your channel and hope to work out some of my mental health issues. Thanks MB/LW for being so open and real. I love you both and hopefully these types of interviews will help everyone dealing with their mental health. Everyone at some point in life if not now, will meet face to face with mental health in some way some day. Love you, GH and cast. You're doing a GOOD thing here!!!!!!!
