It’s no secret that Joss doesn’t want Carly with Valentin on General Hospital. In fact, she wants the pairing about as much as Carly wants her to be in the WSB. Joss proved that with one conversation and a request that seemed innocent but wasn’t at all.
Key Takeaways
- Joss led Valentin to Anna.
- She knows Anna’s the one person who can come between Carly and Valentin.
- Joss is dealing with her mother’s new relationship differently from others.
Playing Games Quietly and Intentionally
Joss (Eden McCoy) made a deal with Z (John Oliver) to free Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) in return for her painting Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) like a hero. The move made it seem like Joss might have changed her tune about Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin.
It was one thing for Joss to ask that all charges against Jason (Steve Burton) be dropped, given what he means to her. However, she threw Valentin in with her demand. Joss’ request certainly made it appear as though she was starting to accept Valentin’s relationship with her mother.
That was so not the case, and Joss made that clear with one subtle action.
Joss asking Valentin to get a message to Anna (Finola Hughes), now that she’s back in Port Charles, spoke volumes. It wasn’t about the mission or the fact that they were both held captive in the same place. The move was all about orchestrating an Anna and Valentin reunion.
Like many GH fans, Joss knows that Anna’s always been the one true love of Valentin’s life. Sure, he had feelings for Nina, but Anna had his heart for decades, even before she fell in love with him.
There’s a bond between Valentin and Anna that will never be broken. Carly saw a glimpse of it when Valentin nearly risked his freedom to go help Anna in France, and Joss knows it, too.
Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) are reading Carly the riot act for getting involved with Valentin. Joss, though, is over on the sidelines making moves. Instead of arguing with her mother, which she knows will get her nowhere, Joss has taken another route.
Joss has simply taken a step back, let her mother do her thing, and attacked the situation from another angle. Putting Valentin in Anna’s orbit means she just has to sit back and watch his feelings for Anna impact his relationship with Carly.
It’s a pretty good tactic, and it might just work!
