She received three Daytime Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Carly.

She won for Outstanding Younger Actress in 1997 and 1998, was nominated in 1999, and won again for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 2000.

Brown appeared on the cover of Soap Opera Digest 19 times during her run in the role, and won two Soap Opera Digest Awards in 1998 (Younger Lead Actress) and 2000 (Favorite Actress).

In January 2000, it was reported that Brown would be exiting General Hospital when her contract was over in March of that year.

Brown's character was put in an important storyline and the show had already lost several of its actors, including Jonathan Jackson (Lucky) and Steve Burton (Jason).

Brown agreed to stay for one year and General Hospital began to create an exit in December 2000 if Brown decided not to renew her contract.

Gina Tognoni was rumored to replace Brown, but that obviously didn't happen.

Brown decided to stay with the series for a month.


 * "My contract expired today, but I will stay with the show 4 more weeks to wrap it all up for them," she said. "I am not leaving because of money issues or contract issues. I am leaving because my heart is telling me I'm done."

She departed the series on April 23, 2001.

Brown also portrayed Claudia Zacchara from 2008-10.

Brown returned to play Carly on April 1, 2014 for General Hospital's 51st anniversary.

Fans protested Brown's departure, and sent emails to Jill Farren Phelps in an effort to get the actress rehired. However, Tamara Braun replaced her on May 2, 2001.

In an interview on November 11, 2001 with Soap Opera Digest, Braun commented on being a high profile recast:


 * "I really didn't know about the uproar, which was good. But I was informed about it before I started working. I thought to myself, 'Holy guacamole ... I'm going into something here. But all I can do is the best that I can.' I think on some level, a lot of people were waiting for me to fail."

During her tenure, Braun was the first actress to play Carly to take the character into the lead actress category, garnering herself a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Lead Actress in 2004. Braun didn't win, however, she did bring the character of Carly into a different strata in terms of the character's place on the soap.

For the first time Carly would be considered in the same league as General Hospital's other lead females such as Laura Spencer, Felicia Jones, and Bobbie Spencer.

In early 2005, speculation grew over Braun's possible future with the soap due to Brown's exit from CBS Daytime's As the World Turns. In February 2005, it was announced that Braun was cast out in the role of Carly, due to her decision not to renew her contract with the show.

Braun departed the role on April 15, 2005.

Braun returned to play Carly on April 1, 2014 for General Hospital's 51st anniversary.

On October 25, 2017, Soap Opera Digest confirmed that Braun would be returning to GH as a new character, debuting on November 22. On November 17, it was revealed that she will be portraying Kim Nero, Oscar's mom.

In March, it was announced that actress Jennifer Bransford was hired as the third actress to portray the role of Carly, replacing Braun. Melrose Place actress Jamie Luner was also up for the role of Carly, but lost out to Bransford. On April 18, 2005, Jennifer Bransford assumed the role.

Phelps released a statement on the recast:


 * "[The audience] will eventually accept a new Carly, especially if Maurice is determined to make it work."

During Bransford's tenure, Shayne Lamas also portrayed the role as a teenager in several flashbacks. On October 5, 2005, Bransford was released from her contract.

A representative of General Hospital said:


 * "Jennifer's casting in the role of Carly did not work out. She is a consummate actress and she's good at what she does. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors."

After Bransford's dismissal, rumors began circulating that Laura Wright, known for portraying on , was being considered for the role.

[...] Fans can look forward to high drama between Sonny, Carly and Alcazar this fall."

In a statement, Wright said:

Characterization
Carly is known as the girl "you love and hate". She is known for her relationships with Jason Morgan, Sonny Corinthos, and Jasper Jacks.

Carly is known for having feuds with most women in Port Charles

However, she is less confrontational and more calmer and level- headed in heated situations

Over the years, Carly has reformed herself into a compassioniate and fiercely loyal friend, loving mother, feisty mob wife and savvy businesswoman but still retains her ruthless, scheming bad girl ways.

Carly represents a modern archetype in soap opera, of mysterious outsiders with secret blood ties to core characters. To drive the plot forward, they often ingratiate themselves to their birth parent's family, only to cause destructive havoc later on, as revenge for their perceived abandonment.

Her predecessors in this can be seen first in of ', and then  of '.

In 1999, writer noted that the character of Carly had been somewhat of a work in progress at first. "Worse yet, we the writers didn't really know what Carly was supposed to be," he said. "That may sound like a horrifying confession, but in daytime, a successful character is always a collaboration between the writers and the actor."

Mulcahey said the writers discussed who they felt Carly, as a character, is and that "the actor finds certain other decisions have to be made and makes them, sparks fly between the actor and another actor, we see what's happening on-screen and start playing around with it in the writing- that's how a character takes shape".

He further stated:

"Carly was different. We were afraid of her. I started [on the show] right around the time Sarah did, but it's my understanding that there was quite a hullabaloo about Carly before she was ever cast. I was told a writer (the one I think I replaced) had even quit over it. The issue was this: Carly was coming to Port Charles for the purpose of haunting Bobbie and making her life miserable, out of supposed anger at having been 'abandoned' by her. But of course, she wasn't abandoned, she was given up for adoption, and the network and producers were rightly concerned that we might be 'sending the message' (that phrase that soap writers dread) either that adopted children were hateful and full of rage, or that their adoptive parents were neglectful or otherwise inadequate enough to instill this smoldering resentment of being adopted in their kids... I need not go on. The pitfalls are obvious, and I imagine Bob [Guza, the headwriter] promised Wendy [Riche, the executive producer] and ABC that we had no intention of falling into them."

Background
Carly is born off-screen on November 5, 1973 in Jacksonville, Florida to a 16 year old Bobbie Spencer; Bobbie, a teen prostitute, is forced to give up her baby. Carly is adopted by Frank and Virginia Benson as Caroline Leigh Benson, in Pensacola, Florida.

Frank abandons Caroline (who is around the age of three ) and Virginia shortly after. Virginia also supported them on a secretaries salary. As a teen, she is best friends with Charlotte "Carly" Roberts. Carly's father Dan manipulates Caroline into sleeping with him and Carly's parents end up divorcing. Caroline is devastated when Carly is killed in a car crash. After discovering her true heritage, Caroline comes to town in order to get revenge on her biological mother, for giving her away. Carly bears a striking resemblance to her maternal grandmother, Lena Eckert Spencer.

Carly is also known for her hatred of the late, A.J. Quartermaine and her feuds with the Quartermaine family, Robin Scorpio-Drake (former; best friend of Sonny and Jason), Keesha Ward, Hannah Scott, Brenda Barrett (for Sonny and Jax), Sam Morgan (former; now close friend), Alexis Davis (former; also the mother of Sonny's daughter, Kristina), Claire Walsh, Elizabeth Webber (sometimes), Jerry Jacks, the late Claudia Zacchara-Corinthos, Skye Quartermaine, Ric Lansing, the late Faith Rosco, the late Connie Falconeri (aka Kate Howard), Ava Jerome (the mother of Sonny's daughter, Avery), Olivia Jerome, Heather Webber, Franco Baldwin,  Nelle Benson (now the mother of her first grandchild via Michael), Jasper "Jax" Jacks (sometimes) and Sonny Corinthos (sometimes) and sometimes her own family.

Although Carly and Robin had a longtime feud, they called it a truce and seem to have mutual respect for one another.

Jason Morgan is her best friend.

Courtney Matthews was her best friend as well until her demise in 2006.

She is co-owner of the Metro Court Hotel, along with her good friend, Olivia Falconeri (also the mother of Sonny's son, Dante).

She is the mother of three children (one of which is deceased), has one grandson, has three stepchildren, a step grandson and a step granddaughter:


 * A son named, Michael Corinthos, through a one night stand with her ex-husband, the late, A.J. Quartermaine, Michael was later adopted by Sonny. Through Michael and his ex-girlfriend, Nelle, she has a grandson named, Jonah, whom everyone except his mother and Brad Cooper think is dead.

 * A daughter named, Josslyn Jacks, with her ex-husband, Jasper Jacks.

Michael calls 911 and Starr goes to jail. Later, Todd returns to town to help Starr. His murder charges were dropped because he had PTSD, from being kidnapped for 7 years. Even though their kids are against each other, Carly and Todd remain friends and spend time together. While at the PCPD visiting Starr, Todd hears Kate tell Alexis she may have shot out Anthony's tires as "Connie". Todd then makes a deal with Sonny, Michael will say he didn't see Starr pointing a gun at Sonny or he'll tell police Kate shot out the tires. Sonny argees to the deal and Starr gets out of jail. Carly also has a disliking of Tea Delgado, Starr's lawyer, Todd's ex-wife, and the wife of Victor.

After a brief-absent, Shawn returns and catchs up with Carly at Kelly's, mostly talking about TJ. Carly is shocked to learn Sam was raped by Franco and that her baby is Franco's. She is also suprised to learn Franco is Jason's twin. When Carly confronts Jason about this, she finds out he and Sam are separated because he doesn't know if he can accept the baby and he didn't like her hanging out with John McBain. Carly, who wasn't happy with their marriage, surprisingly tells Jason to make things right with Sam because she believes he can love Sam's baby and that Sam truly loves Jason.

Carly later finds out that Sam's baby died, and Jason blames himself for not being there to help her. Carly still tries to get Jason to make things right with Sam, saying they should get a second chance. After this conversation, Carly calls Johnny, wanting to talk, and says she's willing to make up with him, provided that he doesn't lie to her. However, the day of Sonny and Kate's wedding, Connie emerges and says she's already married to Johnny. Carly is furious, but when she's alone with Johnny, she asks him to be honest with her. He knows she didn't marry Connie willingly because he asked her to run away with him the night before. But Johnny says that he married Connie because he loved her, and he can't be the man for Carly. Carly says goodbye to him once and for all, breaking up with him for good.

Carly finds out from Michael that Sam's baby is alive, and was switched with Tea's son at birth. Carly goes to the hospital, where Jason is with baby Daniel, and asks if he's going to get back together with Sam. Jason leaves that decision to Sam, something Carly is not happy about. But Jason tells her to let it go. Sam comes back, and Carly tells her to not deprive her son of Jason, who can be a great father. Sam & Jason make up, but that night, Jason goes missing after being shot at the pier. Carly is devastated by this, and leans on Todd for support.

Carly starts a friendship with Todd and the two start making out in Todd's apartment during the week of Halloween. After Carly stops making out with Todd, she leaves to the Pier 52 to have time to think. Carly, then sees A.J., is spooked and falls down. When she wakes up, Sonny is standing over her, and she insists A.J. was there. Sonny doesn't believe her, and she later believes she was hallucinating. A.J. is proven to be alive, though, and Carly calls the police on him, despite Michael's protests.

Carly comes into Todd's office one day when he calls security because of an intruder. Carly finds out the intruder is Sam, who was looking for her sister, Molly's, missing manuscript that was given to Todd. Carly convinces Todd to let Sam go for her son's sake, but Sam retaliates that Todd already separated her from her son once. Carly doesn't believe Todd, citing Heather Webber was the one with the grudge against Sam. Heather switched the babies and the DNA test, and Jason is actually Daniel's father. Sam tells Carly not to be a fool, because Jason wouldn't want that.

Carly and Todd have Christmas and New Years together. They have sex in Todd's Metro Court apartment. She learns of the car crash involving Michael and Starr, and head to the hospital. The car crash also involves Connie and Johnny. Johnny revealed that he was the one responsible for the deaths of Starr's boyfriend and daughter Cole and Hope. Carly is disgusted by the truth of Johnny's misdeeds, but mistakenly sticks up for Todd when Johnny says that Todd's hands are not clean either. Johnny revealed that Todd knew Johnny had killed Cole and Hope, but kept quiet because he was blackmailed to. Carly learns that Todd actually did play an active role in the switching of Danny Morgan and Victor Lord III. Carly is mad that Todd repeatedly lied to her and officially ends their friendship. Carly later went to visit Todd, and found out he had known Danny was Jason's son for months, but didn't say anything for fear of getting caught.

Carly ends up drunk at The Floating Rib, and is there when A.J., Connie, and Sonny get into a fight. A.J. later realizes Carly is too drunk to drive, and takes her back to the hotel, where she goes to Todd's room and cuts up his clothes as revenge for hurting her. The next day, she wakes up hungover, and wonders why A.J. stayed with her. A.J. says it's because he wants to be a good parent for Michael, and that means putting up with Carly. Carly later goes to Todd's arraignment, where he pleads not guilty by insanity, and Carly is furious he refuses to take responsibility for his actions.

Todd escapes from Ferncliff, and tries to head out of town. When Carly finds him, he tries to convince her to come with him. When Luke comes in, she tries to hide Todd, but Luke discovers him. He tells Carly he won't call the police if Carly tells him about the "missing Quartermaine heir." Carly relents, and tells Luke that Franco mentioned he had a daughter named Lauren. After Luke leaves, Todd wonders why Carly covered for him, when he's just hurt her. Carly tells him not to look too deeply into him, and says goodbye to him before he leaves.

Carly visits Starr after finding out she gained ownership of half of the Haunted Star from Johnny. They both are upset by Todd's betrayal, but both hope he gets out of town without getting caught. Carly later comes to Pier 52, and finds Todd being arrested by Commissioner Anna Devane for trying to kidnap Danny again. However, Todd insists that he was actually trying to rescue Danny from Detective John McBain. Carly is furious at Todd for making excuses, but Todd insists he's telling the truth.

After Todd and Anna leave, Carly talks to Sam, wondering how Todd can blame John. Sam, though, tells her that John was arrested for murder, but believes he has a lookalike running around town committing murders, so Todd could be telling the truth. Carly says Happy Valentine's Day to both Sam and Danny, then leaves to the police station to find Todd. She tells him she believes that he was trying to rescue Danny, but that's all she believes him about. It is later revealed to them that Todd was telling the truth about the lookalike.

Todd stands trial - he decides to have a bench trial, whereby only the judge decides what laws is applicable to the case, whether Todd is guilty, and what his punishment would be if he would be found guilty. Carly and A.J. debate at the Metro Court restaurant with Michael present. They leave. Todd comes and begs her to take him back. Carly says that she is with another man - this turns out to be A.J. Carly kisses A.J. and then states to Todd that A.J. is her boyfriend. She makes out with A.J. Elizabeth Webber arriving at the Metro Court for her date with A.J. watches Carly and A.J. make out. (4-12-13) After A.J. can not get hold off Elizabeth (due to Carly and him making out), he decides to help Carly and starts to be clingly and romantic. Todd vows that he will uncover the truth and heads back to his room. He calls (Starr, presumably according to previews) and says he needs help. Back at the restaurant, AJ tells Carly that he wants the information of the Quartermaine heir. Todd sends a man in an Easter Bunny costume and Carly thinks that it is Todd's idea. The man lies and tells Carly that "a man from Australia" sent him (referring to Jaxs). The man drops off gifts in the living room. In reality, the stuffed bunny has a hidden camera and Todd watches Carly and A.J. tell each other that them being together is an act. Todd Manning hears that it is a ruse and goes to tell them that he knows the truth. AJ leaves and Todd Manning is subsequently dumped on March 20th, leaving town after the charges against him are dismissed.

Jax shows up wanting Carly to sign the divorce papers again because the last ones were lost. Jax informs her that Brenda and him are getting married. Carly says to Jax that Brenda is probably already at Sonny's to plead to Sonny to take her back. Later, Brenda confesses that this is the truth and Jax calls out of the engagement. During the Nurses Ball, Carly and Brenda have an argument and she kicks Brenda out. Carly helps Sabrina Santiago with her dating problems with Patrick Drake. Carly witnesses another Sonny and AJ argument and seeing AJ having another panic attack.

She witnesses the holdup of her mother Bobbie Spencer with Jerry Jacks in December 2013.

In January, Carly is kidnapped by Heather. Heather plans on killing Carly to keep her away from her son and to get revenge on Franco for attempting to murder her. Heather plants a goodbye note in Franco's hotel room to make it appear that Carly was planning to commit suicide. When Michael hears of his mother's disappearance he accuses Franco, but Franco insists he is innocent. Franco and Kiki begin to suspect Ava Jerome in the disappearance because she had threatened Carly just hours before. Morgan suspects that his boss Julian Jerome is responsible because he had also threatened Morgan with harm to his mother just hours before. Heather had Carly the whole time and was trying to make it look like Franco did it. On February 11, Franco rescues Carly. On February 12, Carly reunites with her sons.
