Wright joined General Hospital in November 2005 as Carly Corinthos, succeeding Jennifer Bransford. She became the fourth actress to play the character. Wright's first episode aired the day after her final episode of Guiding Light.

Her work as Carly earned Wright the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2011. She later received nominations in the category in 2012, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2025.
