GH Releases ‘The Sonny & Carly Collection’ Featuring 20 Pivotal Episodes With Three Carlys
The torrid love story between Sonny Corinthos and Carly has been going strong for over two decades. Now the ABC app and ABC.com are offering up a collection of memorable episodes and pivotal moments between the duo.
However, this collection features three powerhouse actresses who have played the role of Carly: Sarah Joy Brown, Tamara Braun, and the current Carly, Laura Wright.
GH and ABC have released these episodes for viewing to coincide with Maurice Benard’s 25th year on the daytime drama series and a very special anniversary episode airing today on Monday, November 12th.
With the Sonny & Carly Collection, fans will be able to access 20 episodes from Sonny and Carly’s explosive and tumultuous 20-year relationship, chronologically. Some of the episodes include: Jason is shot in an ambush. Sonny and Carly remarry, even though she is involved with Jax, Sonny confesses to Carly that he shot AJ, Sonny and Carly admit their feelings, and more
The Sonn and Carly collection is available now through February 12th and all 20 episodes are available for viewers with no sign in required at abc.com/sonnyandcarly and on the ABC app.
The ABC app is available in the App Store, ABC.com, Amazon Appstore, Google Play and on most connected TV devices.
Check out the Sonny & Carly Collection, and then let us know which was your favorite episode of the bunch via the comment section below!
The Spencer house was long abandon and then blown up…but now its back in perfect condition and the childhood home of Margeuax and her momma Jeanette????????
That set gets reused a lot. I’m fine with that as Frank needs to save on the budget somewhere.
So many scenes take place in the MetroCourt restaurant or Charle’s Pub to save money. They did spend $ to build Laura and Kevin a condo set and Alexis finally meets clients in an office set instead of her home.
We’ll probably see the Q foyer/stairs again as we approach Thanksgiving.
The Sonny centric episode might have been the first time we saw someone actually eat at Mazzolo’s.
Some sets like Metro i dont mind…if Margeaux’s family just rented the place id be fine but its made like she grew up there…cant be…the place was abandon…if it is suppose to still be the Spensers they did a find job with repairs after the explosion-most homes get demolished…they could had at least altered it somewhat but then it is a soap where they reuse actors in other roles too-lol
Pedo Jim lived in that house too. It’s getting a lot of use…. but whomever owns the house seems to only rent it to some very disreputable people.
Presumably Luke still owns the house. If he’s renting to people like that, does that mean he’s regressed into the “Fluke” personality, where ever he is. And would that mean Tracy dumped him again?
They recycle a lot of sets; Anna’s house is the old Chandler mansion from All My Chandler, and Laura’s home is loosely based on Erica Kane and Ava Jermoe’s old penthouses.
The oldest recycled set is Elizabeth’s current house. The kitchen section is new, but the staggered stairs date back to the Webber/Jones/Scorpio house
My favorite episode is when there is no Carly and Sonny….strange the writers can dream up endless stories for them but not Dante, Laura and other characters…well, maybe the can always write for Nina as well!!!!….why cant Laura hire a lookalike Nicholas to haunt Valentin????
haunt Valentin like a Christmas Carol type story…Laura could be the ghost to take him on the journey!!!
We’re on the same page, Jimh. Now, if only the scripts were on that same page…
if the show was on the same page as us it would be brilliant
You know it, Jimh! 🙂
Who would play lookalike Nikolas? It’s rumored that Nikolas returns in the near future (supposedly a new recast, but one with soap experience). Likely part of JPS exit story
No thanks. Sonny and Brenda (90’s version), yes, please! Watching the “What If” episode. I noticed during the opening credits that Willow, Cameron, and Oscar are included (contract players). The show is doomed. (Although, I think the actor that plays Cameron is talented, not interested in the “teen scene”).
They’ve been there for quite some time.
I haven’t watched in ages..
The opening got updated last month, a few weeks after nuJordan debuted, and some other cast changes took place.
The Sonny and Carly Collection? I’ll hurry up and not watch that immediately.
Why is this necessary? With Christmas coming up, I expect to attend a few parties playing the White Elephant Christmas exchange (Michael Scott from The Office called it “Yankee Swamp”). I could see this as the gift everyone would be fighting to get rid of. I mean, who would want this?
Another GH promotion that has ZERO interest for me (and countless other viewers). Anything to do with the character of Sonny is a complete turn off (as in abhorrent, and as in turning off the TV). I will say, however, that both Sarah Brown and Tamara Braun are great actresses. Hey! I ended on an upbeat note!
I loved Tamara Braun as Carly. She had great chemistry with Maurice, unlike the current coupling who are a snooze-fest!
Thanks for the backup, AVP! I’m so with you on the “snooze-fest.” zzzzzzzzzzzzz
it’s truly a funny time… to bear witness to just what exactly is Frank VAlentini wringing out ? that Laura Wright and Maurice Benard are still relevant ? it’s beyond any thing @GH can do. FIRE Shelly and Chris… @ABC/Disney.. FIRE Frank Valentini. this direction of Port Charles has truly bottomed out… ie: the last ratings thread… for the 8th straight WEEK… get it People… @GH has plateaued .. hit the skids on the 18-49 prized demographic… yeah, that’s the stronghold of Women.
why would they hang on ? for ; Sonny / Michael / Jason / Finn / Franco / Peter ??? they have no stimuli.. they add nothing.. because they have no real connect to any one on the canvas. with no personality trait to keep them
outside of looking @. I can’t even get in to Carly and Sam worth. blah
OK. SAW on Soap central…. I WANT THIS… IS Hayden returning ? BECAUSE .. this is Shelly and Chris opportune time to FREE UP ANNA. GIVE US BACK Finola Hughes. that way… Finn and Hayden can leave Port Charles or go back burner and never be missed. ANNA must BE FREE
Frank Valentini: you are either having the last laugh… at the audience expense.. or taking pleasure in caricaturing this once loved show. when you are on record of having the lowest ratings 8 weeks onward. your featured pets are not bringing in the 18-49 desired demographic…. I hope TPTB take note
Thanks for your reply, Patrick. Again, you are preaching to the choir with me! And this “once loved show” was once loved — by me. Now I feel like an ex-spouse after a messy divorce. If only TPTB would listen to us, listen to their ratings, listen to reason! 🙂
James…the last sentence in your post made me laugh…lol. Thanks.
Have a good one, dude.
Love to pieces… Sarah Joy Browne ; Tamara Braun
The old episodes remind me of how much I liked Tamara Braun as Carly. I thought she gave Carly her sensitivity. Tamara had such heat with Maurice.-IMO
Unfortunately, Tamara as Kim Nero is a boring dud!
I’ve been watching a few of the older episodes. Billy Warlock was an awful recast as AJ Quartermaine. He made AJ so unlikeable, along with the writing and character assassination.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.

In what could prove to be a massive shake-up ahead, both the TV Academy (ATAS), who presides over the Primetime Emmys, and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), who preside over the Daytime Emmys, are in exploratory reunification discussions to merge the two organizations into one.
Both sides received an overwhelming vote and support from their boards to evaluate what a unified Academy could look like. However there is no formal calendar at this juncture for the discussions. In addition, because of the ongoing unification talks that should occur, the TV Academy board has voted to extend all current sitting Governors’ terms by one year so they can see the process through.
Boards at both organizations voted overwhelmingly to evaluate what a unified Academy could make possible: a strong vision for the Academy’s future, more effective thought leadership for the industry, broader service and support for members coast-to-coast, and new momentum and opportunities across the full complement of national Emmy competitions.

AFTER NEARLY 50 YEARS, CAN THE EMMYS BE UNDER ONE BANNER?
In a joint statement, ATAS and NATAS shared, “Television remains the most powerful medium we have to shape culture and prompt conversations that define us—no matter the size of the screen, With the business of television undergoing such a monumental transformation, this is the right moment to explore a reunification of our Academies, providing our members and our industry with a bolder voice advocating for them and a stronger partner to navigate the future with them.”
If the reunification talks continue, this would be the first time since the two Emmy organizations split back on June 30, 1977 that they have tried to come together, all of this after almost three decades of often uneasy and strained tension between the two.
The most recent joint change came in 2022 when a move of the game show categories went from NATAS to ATAS’ and now are in the Primetime Emmys.
Deadline notes that a unification of the two television academies who overall preside over nighttime and daytime programming would be similar how SAG and AFTRA used to represent performers from completely different dayparts of work.
Could the Daytime Emmys finally see some love in primetime and have their major categories televised as part of the annual kudofest every September? Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony will take place live on Monday, September 14th starting at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT and air on NBC and stream on Peacock emanating from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. While, the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards will take place on Friday, October 30, time to be announced, live from the Hollywood Palladium and will be streamed on watchtheemmys.tv
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) is a service organization dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. It recognizes excellence in television with the coveted Emmy Awards for News & Documentary, Sports, Daytime and Children’s & Family programming, as well as achievements in television Technology & Engineering.
The Television Academy (ATAS) strives to shape and advance the dynamic television landscape; cultivate a diverse, inclusive and accessible professional community; and advocate for the television industry while capturing the spirit of a new generation of content creators and industry professionals. Through innovative programs, publications and events, the Academy and its Foundation foster and empower storytellers. The Academy also celebrates those who excel in the industry recognizing their achievements through awards and accolades, including the renowned Emmy Award. Membership in the Academy is open to working professionals in the television industry.
So, would you like to see the Primetime Emmy and the Daytime Emmys fold into one show if the two unions reached a unification arrangement? Do you hope that after almost 50 years, the two organizations can finally make some serious headway? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
