Keep an eye out because you never know if it’s a special message just for you.
General Hospital’s Joss and Dex, “Jex,” have quickly garnered a big fanbase and during a recent interview with AP Entertainment, Eden McCoy hinted that she and Evan Hofer may just be sending you little “pokes” here and there during scenes. She started off by reflecting on one important part of soap culture — rooting for your favorite couples.

Joss has had relationships in the past but they’ve been nothing like what she now has with Dex. “To have that, like, now much more adult-like experience is so fun, it’s a blast,” McCoy stated then talked about how she and Hofer have such “hilarious, funny, great fans” that make things so “entertaining and awesome.” They make them feel super supported.
In fact, when they get their scripts, the stars actually feel as though they are a part of the fandom. And when they read them, they think of their fans and say, “Oh my God, they’re gonna die” or “This is gonna be so funny.” Then they think, regarding different scenes, “What can we do to poke at them here?”
☺️ Thank you for such an amazing conversation! @aliciar And thank you to the fans as always ❤️ #GH #GH60 https://t.co/lAvZUk8eQq

Of course, their fans rushed to comment about just how much they love and appreciate her and Hofer and thanked them for making “Jex” a couple they enjoy rooting for.

<p>… then along came baby Josslyn Jacks, the adorable byproduct of Mob moll Carly Corinthos’ union with ex-husband Sonny’s archenemy, Jasper Jacks. It wasn’t easy, though. Come on, the bambino was born in Port Charles, so she <em>had</em> to make an entrance that was truly “killer.”</p>

<p>Before Josslyn could so much as say “mama,” the newborn was targeted for abduction by future stepfather Sonny’s then-wife, Claudia Zacchara. The Mafia princess might have gotten away with it, too, had Joss’ half brother Michael not fatally whacked her with an axe handle.</p>

<p>In the years that followed, Joss (then McKenna Larson) would get kidnapped a lot. Like, <em>a lot</em> a lot. If she wasn’t being swiped by Jax to protect her from Carly’s habit of getting remarried to the Mob, she was…</p>

<p>Despite appearances, Carly <em>didn’t</em> simply hand over Josslyn to her maniacal Uncle Jerry; the youngster was swiped by Ewen Keenan on <em>orders</em> from her Uncle Jerry so that he could vaccinate her against the deadly pathogen that he’d released into Port Charles’ water supply.</p>

<p>Long before she’d understand that love was a four-letter word, Josslyn (then Hannah Nordberg) got caught up in a bittersweet triangle with pals Spencer Cassadine (then Nicolas Bechtel), Cameron Webber and Emma Scorpio-Drake.</p>

<p>… is something Josslyn (now Eden McCoy) would <em>never</em> do. But if she <em>were</em> going to, we’d be willing to go out on a limb and say that her favorite sibling was Michael. Not only did he bring into the fold lil’ Wiley, he saved her from Claudia, and let’s be real: You never forget the person who prevented your first kidnapping.</p>

<p>When Josslyn learned that the organ that had saved her life hadn’t come from the “late” Jake Webber but Nelle Benson, she immediately made the older newcomer her BFF. Big mistake, as we all now know. The daughter of Carly’s adoptive father, Nelle wanted revenge on Joss’ mom for not bailing her family out of poverty. So while it all started like this, it ended with an…</p>

<p>No, Carly did <em>not</em> take it well when she realized that Nelle had kinda-sorta done to her the same thing that she once had to her mother, Bobbie Spencer.</p>

<p>In 2017, Josslyn fell in love for the first time, with deeper-than-the-average-teenage-boy Oscar Nero. He fell just as hard for Joss, too. There was just one teensy problem…</p>

<p>Oscar was terminally ill. And neither Josslyn’s love for him nor his amazing head of hair were going to prolong his life. Needless to say, our girl’s heart was broken into so many pieces, you <em>still</em> have to watch where you step around the Corinthos compound.</p>

<p>Helping Josslyn carry on was her crew, Trina Robinson, Dev “Corbin” and Cameron Webber. They didn’t always dress like characters from a John Hughes movie, though yes, we considered it a bonus when they did.</p>

<p>Eager to replace Oscar in Josslyn’s life were two handsome suitors. But she rejected bachelor No. 1 Dev for fear that it would seem disrespectful to stepfather Sonny to get involved with the boy he’d taken under his wing and into his home. As for bachelor No. 2…</p>

<p>Cameron was temporarily knocked out of the running for Joss’ heart by a passage that ill-fated rival Dev added to her diary — one that labeled their smooch an unfortunate incident that should never be repeated, thank you very much.</p>

<p>Did we mention that Josslyn eventually made peace with the fact that Sonny was always going to be her mom’s ride-or-die whether or not that meant that she had to live with bodyguards following her around even more closely than her shadow? Because she did. (Her petulant posture here is a sure sign of acceptance; you just have to be fluent in adolescent to recognize it.) So she was crushed when Sonny was thought to be dead just long enough for her to get…</p>

<p>In fact, Josslyn barely had any reaction to Carly’s decision to marry her bestie, Sonny’s hired gun, Jason Morgan. He was already around the house as much as that infamous moss in the kitchen, so why not? Some part of her also probably figured that the fastest way to convince Sonny to rise from the grave, so to speak, was to have Carly move on.</p>

<p>Technically, in the sunshine, not the shade, but you know what we mean. After Dev’s fib was revealed, Josslyn and Cameron finally got together to become the cutest couple this side of… Ya know, on second thought, they may just be the cutest couple, period, no matter the side. Cue trouble heading their way in 3, 2…</p>

<p>Trouble arrived in the form of Spencer Cassadine’s scheming girlfriend, Esme Prince, who joined the Directors Guild just in time to film Joss and Cam’s “virgin voyage,” make the X-rated video public <em>and</em> frame Trina for the crime!</p>

<p>In the wake of Joss and Cam’s sex-tape reveal, their romance floundered. Not improving its odds of survival were the sparks that flew whenever Joss was around Sonny’s new henchman, Dex Heller. C’mon, they even made dumpster-diving hot!</p>
