General Hospital‘s Carly Corinthos has found out that her romantic partner, Jack Brennan, recruited her daughter Josslyn into the WSB as a spy, and now she’s torn between protecting her and calling out Jack.
Fans are now giving advice, throwing out everything from revenge to forgiveness, and everyone’s got a hot take on what the character should do next.
Here’s what General Hospital fans think Carly’s reaction should be to Jack’s betrayal
When Soap Opera Digest asked viewers about how Carly should handle Jack’s betrayal, around 10% of fans wanted her to serve Jack with revenge. They want Jack to face the fallout of his lies first, then maybe let him back in. They think the relationship can survive if Carly stays in control and makes sure Jack feels the weight of his choices.
A slightly bigger group, 11%, wants Carly to forgive Jack. These fans say Jack’s secrets were unavoidable with his WSB work, and Carly knew what she was signing up for. They argue it’d be unfair to punish him since his intentions weren’t deceitful. He was just trying to protect her and Josslyn.
Another 15% of fans want Carly to confront Jack instead of scheming with Valentin or following Jason’s “stay quiet” advice. They figure hearing his side could shed light on his guilt and motives, maybe even put out some of Carly’s fire.
Meanwhile, a solid 29% want Carly to get even. These viewers see Jack dragging Josslyn into WSB as crossing a hard line, especially with Carly’s track record of protecting her family. In their eyes, Jack deserves serious consequences, and Carly serving justice would be totally warranted.
The biggest chunk of fans, 35%, think Carly should just end things with Jack. They say she’s got too much on the line to get caught up in revenge. As a mother, grandmother, and business owner, she can’t risk more drama or legal trouble. Walking away protects her family and also sends Jack a message that Carly values herself enough not to play by his rules.
Now, it remains to be seen how Carly decides to approach the challenging situation.
