As "Loving's" young heroine Ally Rescott, Laura Sisk, the actress who would eventually be known as Laura Wright when she married John Wright, played a character involved with quite a few romances while she lived in the fictional Corinth, New York. But when Ally moved to New York City, she became a much more independent woman living with the friends who joined her in a fancy SoHo apartment building (via Soaps.com).
Wright remembered one of her first days on the set of "Loving" as she reminisced about her three decades in daytime television in 2021. "Well, the first night, after I worked, Rena Sofer [Rocky on "Loving," now Quinn on "The Bold and the Beautiful"] saw me wandering the hallways. She goes, 'Do you know where you are or what's happened to your life?'And I'm like, 'No!'" Wright told Soap Opera Digest. "She said, 'Well, is there anyone you want to meet?" and I was like, 'Hayley from All My Children!'" [So] she calls Kelly [Ripa] and she's like, 'Hey, a fan got a job and let's take her out tonight.'"
That means she got to spend the evening with a new co-star and an actress she absolutely loved, who went on to become a talk-show phenomenon on ABC.
