There's something about the name Carly, I guess. The four actresses that have caught my attention are now or have played a "Carly" on daytime TV. They are all terrific actresses. They've all brought something dynamic and exciting to their characters, even when they are no longer named Carly. The four ladies in question are Laura Wright, the current Carly Corinthos Jacks on General Hospital, Maura West, Carly Tenney Snyder on As the World Turns, Tamara Braun, Carly #2 on GH and currently Ava Vitali on Days of Our Lives, and Sarah Brown, Carly #1 on GH and presently Claudia Zacchara on GH. Each woman has made a lasting impression on daytime, and they continue to rattle the rafters still.

Tamara Braun joined GH in 2001 to take over the role of Carly. She was stepping into iconic shoes. Sarah Brown had been treated like a goddess by the TV world. Who could possibly do as well as she did in the role? Somehow, Braun found her own rhythms and made Carly her own invention. She thrived on the show. Now, on Days of Our Lives, she's tearing up the screen as a wild -- possibly deranged -- woman scorned by the name of Ava. She's blown into the Salem landscape like a tornado, giving the venerable NBC soap a good kick in the butt.

It seems that a Carly by any other name is still an actress -- and character -- worth watching.
