Eden McCoy's journey on General Hospital so far

Josslyn Jacks, played by Eden McCoy on General Hospital, is the daughter of Carly Corinthos and Jasper Jacks. She had a tumultuous childhood and grew up in uncertainty as her life was frequently affected by her mother's involvement with Sonny, a mob lord.

Her character arc was well-received by fans, especially during the time her on-screen partner Oscar was diagnosed with a brain tumor and eventually passed away. Her friendships with Trina and Cameron add to her dramatic storyline as well.

Her rocky relationship with her mother is something the show portrays through their arguments, moments of heated debates, and heartfelt reunions. Her mother's impulsive decisions and involvement with Sonny had always been a point of contention for Josslyn.

Recently on General Hospital, her involvement with Dex Heller caused an uproar as he works for Sonny and maintains a dangerous lifestyle. Her passion for medicine has also been a critical focal point of her character's growth in Port Charles.

Eden McCoy's portrayal of Josslyn earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Young Performer.
