In the August 17 episode of General Hospital, Carly doubled down on her quest to keep Josslyn out of the WSB. Carly enlisted the help of Hudson, as she pushed for Josslyn to take over Jasper Jacks Enterprises and once again became the meddling mother that never learns.
Key Takeaways
- Carly’s determined to get Josslyn out of the WSB.
- Lucas attempted to reason with his sister.
- Carly won’t ever stop meddling in her children’s lives.
Carly Digs in Her Heels
Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) just learned that Josslyn (Eden McCoy) was a chip off the old block. Carly (Laura Wright) summoned him to her house, where she gave orders that Hudson wasn’t here for.
Instead of helping Josslyn find a new CEO for JJE, Carly demanded Hudson burn the list. Carly filled him in on the fact that Josslyn needed to be forced to stay on as CEO long enough to realize it was the right job for her.
Hudson balked at that idea and revealed Josslyn had no use for him. Carly insisted he keep trying. Then she pulled the Jax (Ingo Rademacher) card, which got to him, but Hudson insisted the company was his priority, nothing else.
A Voice of Reason
Lucas (Van Hansis) arrived and was surprised to see Carly with the mystery man. Once Carly ushered Hudson out, Lucas wasted no time calling out his sister.
Carly defended her rationale for working to get Josslyn out of the WSB and working at JJE. It was a classic Carly move, as she has more than once justified her meddling for the greater good, i.e., what she wants for a person.
Lucas saw that clearly and tried to reason with Carly. The latter reluctantly agreed with her brother about meddling and asked whether giving advice was okay.
Is Carly Really Done Meddling?
Ever since she became a mom, Carly has been a meddling mother. There have been so many times that, despite her children’s wishes, Carly knew what was best and plotted to get what she wanted.
Honestly, it has never worked out well for Carly, and this time won’t be the exception. Josslyn is her mother’s daughter. Just like Carly, when Josslyn wants something, she digs in her heels.
Lucas may have gotten Carly to take a meddling break, but she isn’t done. Nothing will stop Carly from getting Josslyn out of the WSB. Josslyn, for her part, has no plans of letting anyone talk her out of the job she wants: to be an agent.
The more Carly meddles, the more damage she will do. Josslyn and Carly just found middle ground after they agreed to disagree about Josslyn’s job.
If Carly keeps going down this road, she will push Josslyn away and jeopardize their relationship forever.
