Who Is Carly’s Endgame?

GH fans want to know, Who Is Carly’s Endgame? Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) has a long history of love and loyalty with her two main men. Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) both hold the highest rank in Carly’s life as her most trusted supporters. Although Sonny and Carly are no longer married, they’ve gotten to a good place with one another.
