General Hospital’s Carly has never been happy that her daughter joined the WSB. She has been terribly afraid for Josslyn, and now Anna has given her all the more reason to want her out.

Key Takeaways

  • Carly is unhappy with her daughter’s career choice.
  • Anna broke down in the middle of a conversation in front of Carly.
  • Carly is now afraid for Joss’ mental health.
  • Josslyn’s new assignment is to take over JJE and pretend to leave the WSB.

Carly vs Josslyn

Carly (Laura Wright) is a strong and determined woman, sometimes even to her own detriment. Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is proof that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. She is just as hard-headed as her mom.

Joss was a college student when Jack (Chris McKenna) convinced her to join the WSB. It may have seemed crazy at first, but Josslyn makes a good agent (when she gets out of her own way).

Carly was shocked when she found out about her daughter’s secret career choice, and has been worried about her ever since. Joss getting kidnapped and shot didn’t help the situation. Carly is desperate to get her daughter out of the WSB, but Joss loves being an agent. She will not quit.

Anna (Finola Hughes) has just shown Carly the agency’s darkest side, and it will only make matters worse.

Carly’s Reaction To Anna’s Breakdown

Anna has been through a lot at the WSB, but her latest kidnapping seems to have broken her. The mind games that Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) tortured her with left her with visions of Peter (Wes Ramsey).

The conversation between her, Carly, Jason (Steve Burton), and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) caused Anna to break down at the table. It was painful for everyone to see, but especially for Carly. She immediately envisioned what could happen to her own daughter if she follows in Anna’s footsteps.

Carly now sees the mental damage the WSB can inflict. Anna has always been a pillar of strength, but she has finally broken down. In Carly’s eyes, Josslyn’s future is terrifying. When she said as much to Jason, he didn’t disagree.

Coincidentally, Joss has just been handed her new assignment. She is to take over JJE and become CEO of her dad’s company. Everyone, including her mom, is to believe she has left the WSB for this opportunity.

Carly may be lulled into a false sense of security, but that will not last forever. Eventually, she will be more worried than ever about Joss’s physical and mental health. What will happen then?
