Much like Sydney Bristow in Alias, college student Josslyn Jacks is becoming an intelligence agent for the WSB on General Hospital. After a month of training, she’s being deployed on her first mission, which, as of this writing, is still a mystery. Joss becoming a spy is an exciting story. And Eden McCoy explained why she loves it so much.

McCoy explained to Soap Opera Digest that she had been informed of the storyline several months ago, which broke down simply as “Dex dies, I kill Cyrus, and then I become a spy.” Upon hearing that, she gleefully remarked, “So you can imagine my excitement for everything that was going to be coming up!”

The Story Is Brilliant
Praising her on-screen boss as being an incredibly nice and wonderful person, she admitted, “When I was reading the script the night before we had to shoot [all that dialogue], I remember thinking, ‘They’re giving him all of this on his first day?! This is so gnarly!’ ” Scenes were shot out of order, and the actress remarked that McKenna was a trooper after being shocked at the fast pace at which a contemporary soap is shot.

Because Joss was at a crossroads where she decided she didn’t want to become a doctor anymore, the opportunity to be a spy came at the right time. “I think that was brilliant because it plays to Josslyn’s insecurity about having no idea what she wants to do and feeling so lost,” she explained. Regarding Jack and Joss’ current and future sojourn with each other, she stated, “We definitely have a big journey together coming up.”
