Carly Corinthos

Carly is a member of the Spencer family and the ex-wife of mobster Sonny Corinthos. The mother of three children, she is best know for her meddling schemes but has settled some now that she is the owner and manager of the The Metro Court. 
== The End of an Era ==
When troubles arose in between Sonny and Carly once more, Carly finally saw the truth. She and Sonny were far too toxic for one another. This was not the first time she had come to this realization but perhaps this was the one time she was able to see it through. Their split was amicable enough for two people with as much history as them. They decided that their kids would always remain first and even though Carly is no longer married to Sonny, this is something that the two have stuck to. 
== A Fresh Start ==
Now a single woman, Carly moved into the penthouse at the very top of the Metro Court. She focused on running her business, wanting to make the Metro Court the most profitable hotel in the city. She succeeded in making it a prime destination for various businesses who headquarter there. She also focused on hosting events there to ensure that everyone thought of the Metro Court first when they thought of putting on their next function. 
When she was not running her business, Carly was doing what she did best --- meddling in the lives of her children. Of course, this all came from a place of love. All three of her kids had had a rough few years: first Morgan's accident, then Michael losing Jonah and finally Josslyn losing Oscar. She did her best to be supportive without overstepping any boundaries. Not an easy feat given how badly she wanted to make things right for each of them. 
Carly soon discovered that Morgan was going on a date with Lila Rae Alcazar, although she had no idea that it was Lorenzo and Skye's daughter. She couldn't help but pry a little, wanting to know all the details but in the end, she was able to take a step back and let him find his way into this new relationship. 
== Personality ==
Carly is a polarizing woman in Port Charles. She is either loved or hated, having racked up many feuds over the years. She can be very manipulative and level headed in heated situations, but will not stand for anyone hurting her family. If that happens or she feels threatened, she will lash out and the results can be very dangerous to both her and her intended target. 
She has come a long way from her initial days in town as a result of getting to know her family and finding love. She is more compassionate now and loyal to her friends, particularly Jason Morgan. She is a loving mother, a savvy businesswoman and knows how to look the other way when it comes to mob activity. However, if needed she can embrace her ruthless, scheming ways. 
== Important relationships ==
* Michael Corinthos: He is Carly's oldest child and was once at the center of a very complicated custody battle. Carly was terrified of him at first but later realized she was terrified of how much she loved him.

Her heart was broken when Michael lost his son. They have bonded over this. She is supportive of him running ELQ and wants him to be happy. She maybe, however, be a little picky over who that is with but in the end, she is learning that she has no say in the matter.

The years that followed were difficult, culminating in him being in a car accident that nearly took his life. After his recovery, she decided to keep a close eye on him much to his chagrin. 
* Josslyn Jacks: Her only daughter and youngest child. After a difficult pregnancy and having her child almost stolen after birth, Carly was overjoyed to have a girl.
