Here's an insight into the relationship between General Hospital fame Laura and Wes

Laura Wright and Wes Ramsey, the offscreen couple who recently celebrated their eighth year of togetherness, first met on the sets of the soap opera Guiding Light. In the soap opera, Laura portrayed the character of Cassie Layne, Reva Shayne’s sister, and Wes portrayed Sam Spencer, brother of Olivia Spencer. Years later, the two reconnected at the weekend of the 45th Daytime Emmys, when they presented together.

In an interview with Michael Fairman TV in 2018, the couple shared their story of how they first met. Wes shared that it was over 15 years ago when he first met Laura; he was smitten but had to hide his feelings, as she wasn't just married but also pregnant with her second child at that moment. The couple shared that though their story did not cross, they used to run lines together in the green room. Wes mentioned

"Uh-huh! But we would run lines in the green room and I would try very hard to make sure she didn’t catch me staring at her… too often. But we laughed, and had great conversation."

Upon asking when the two reconnected and how it went ahead, Wes spoke,

"There was an assertiveness on my part that was for sure 15 years in the making. I did not expect to run into her. I also did not expect for her to tell me that she was recently single. In that split second, it was one of those, “stop the presses!” moments. Like, you need to give me your number, I’m taking you to dinner."

The couple also shared the screen again, not literally, though. Wes introduced the character of Peter August on the daytime soap opera General Hospital in 2017.
