On General Hospital, Carly (Laura Wright) was recently shocked when Jason (Steve Burton) asked her to leave so he could talk to Anna (Finola Hughes). She’s not used to him pushing her aside, and if she knew he was going to discuss her daughter, Josslyn’s (Eden McCoy), status as a WSB agent, she would have a coniption. Off-camera, Wright has a soapy story that’s just as compelling – her longtime relationship with show alum, Wes Ramsey (ex-Peter). And while Carly may be battling chaos in Port Charles, Wright’s real-life partner had nothing but romance on his mind when he marked her birthday with a heartfelt Instagram tribute that had fans swooning.
A birthday message straight from the heart
General Hospital alum Wes Ramsey pulled out all the stops in an Instagram post where he wrote, “Happy birthday to the light of my life, the twinkle in my step, and the best friend I could ever ask for. I wish you knew just how much you inspire us all, my darling. Thank you for sharing your special spirit with the world & thank you for the beautiful life we share together. I love you, Laura.” Wright enthusiastically responded with, “I just adore you!!! So so grateful for our life!!!!” Attached to his post was a pic of Wright wearing a large pair of glasses and smirking knowingly.
Ramsey’s post immediately sparked a flood of reactions: @crystalchappell jumped in with, “Happy Birthday, Dear Laura!!!” while @jillybeancooks gushed, “The sweetest post from the sweetest guy for our beloved friend!” Another follower, @jacqui_marc, chimed in with, “Oh, Laura, we all need a WES to profess their love and admiration like this. Happy Birthday, Beautiful Lady.”
Fans show the love

Plenty of longtime General Hospital viewers weighed in with @darknlovely901 declaring, “Hbd beautiful you are by far the best Carly they ever had on GH,” and @tinashervinski adding, “That was so beautiful Wes. She definitely is [an] inspiration to us all.” Even Days of Our Lives star @ericmartsolf kept it simple, posting, “Happiest to the lady.”
The comments ran the gamut from sweet to sentimental, with @sinnerqueen7 calling the post “the sweetest & most beautiful” and @jani1881 admitting it brought “tears to my eyes.” And then there was @sharesesimm, who may have summed up the collective fandom best with, “Happy birthday Goat Legend God bless you on your special day.”
Wright herself couldn’t resist replying to her partner’s love letter, writing back, “I just adore you.!!! So so grateful for our life !!!!” It was the perfect bow on a post that proved once again why these two remain one of daytime’s favorite real-life couples. And @food_paparazzi_valerie eagerly commented, “Laura has the MOST gorgeous hair!!!! Tell her happy birthday for me!!! Waiting for your return to Port Charles!!!”
General Hospital fans continue to cross their fingers and hope that Ramsey returns, whether it’s to reprise his role as the late villain, Peter August, or an entirely new character.
