GENERAL HOSPITAL: Josslyn and Carly Have the Mother of All Showdowns!
- On General Hospital’s March 5 episode, Josslyn Jacks confesses how she wound up in the WSB to her mother Carly Spencer.
- Josslyn reveals she wants to bring down Sonny Corinthos and anyone else like him.
- After finding Valentin hidden in the attic of Carly’s house, Josslyn gives her mother 24 hours to get rid of him, or she will turn her into the authorities.
All that Josslyn has been keeping secret from her mother, Carly Spencer came spilling out in a major confrontation on the Thursday, March 5 episode of Genera Hospital which also served up emotional performances from Eden McCoy (Josslyn) and Laura Wright (Carly), and in a separate story, Kelly Thiebaud (Britt).
Here’s how it all went down: Josslyn is shocked to see Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) in her mother’s attic. With her gun pointed and him getting flippant with her, she kicks him with a low blow, punches him right in the face and ties him up, all in short order, Suddenly Carly walks in on the scene and without thinking Josslyn pulls a gun on her own mother.
Josslyn goes off on Carly that she cannot believe that she harboring a fugitive in her house! Carly tells her Valentin is the only way to get Josslyn out of the WSB! That strikes a nerve with Josslyn as she knows her mother knows the truth about her. However, she tells Carly that she could go to prison for twenty years, if she is found out. Next, Josslyn forces Carly downstairs, leaving Valentin tied up.

WSB FOR ME
Now in Carly’s kitchen she admits she’s known for months that Josslyn was in the WSB, but was waiting to confess to her. Josslyn keeps repeating that she’s an adult and wasn’t allowed to tell Carly. Then, Carly blurts out that Jason (Steve Burton) respected her enough to tell her the truth and not lie to her, like her own daughter did!
Josslyn says she was recruited by Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), but it was her all he own choice to join the WSB Port Charles bureau. Carly is so upset with Jack for using her daughter, but Josslyn continues to swear she was a willing participant and she had to lie to everyone, especially her mother.
Viewers finally, after over a year, get the answer to the question, why Josslyn would allow Jack recruit her into this awful life? Josslyn claims she’s trying to make the world a better place, but Carly brings up what has happened to Anna Devane who has suffered a mental breakdown because of working for the WSB. Carly blames Jack for all of this and for pushing Josslyn.
Then, Josslyn explains that she wanted justice for her late boyfriend Dex Heller’s death and she knew Cyrus Renault killed him, She reveals how Jack led her to Cyrus and she killed him. So, after she got justice for Dex, why is she still with the WSB, asks Carly. “I want to take down Sonny (Maurice Benard) and everyone else like him, mercifully and finally,” responds Josslyn,
CARLY GETS AN ULTIMATUM
Josslyn continues that as she grew up she saw the real Sonny, the one who gets away with murder. Joss says the WSB has the resources to bring him to justice and she wants to make sure it happens. As Carly is stunned, Josslyn goes in on her for her choices and always forgiving Sonny when he has gotten almost everyone in his family killed: Morgan, Kristina, Michael, Dex and wonders if Avery and Donna are next. Josslyn cannot comprehend why her mother is so obsessed with Sonny.
Carly tells Josslyn not to throw away her life because of Sonny. Josslyn can’t believe Carly is continuing to refuse to see who Sonny really is. She will not watch her do the same with Valentin. She tells her mother to try and save herself and that she’s got 24 hours to get rid of Valentin, before she turns them both in. Josslyn storms out. Valentin is there for Carly in her time of need. What will happen next?

BRITT IS DEEPLY-AFFECTED BY DELILAH’S DEATH
In other key moments: An emotional Britt met up with Jason overwhelmed about losing Delilah after she gave birth, and this being the first patient who has died under her care since she’s been reinstated. Felicia (Kristina Wagner) confronts Lulu (Alexa Havins) about what she saw. What she saw was Lulu and Nathan (Ryan Paevey) kissing. While Lulu promises she is going to tell Maxie, Felicia fears it will cost her most likely her friendship with Maxie and more. Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) visit Delilah’s baby in the NICU, and decide they will watch over her, since thus far there is no next of kin or family of Delilah’s identified.
Now below, watch the Josslyn/Carly confrontation where all is revealed.
Then weigh-in; did you like Josslyn’s stance with her mother? Do you think she has taken this WSB agent thing way too far? Will anyone be able to get her out of this life before it’s too late? What did you think of the performances of Eden McCoy and Laura Wright? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
I really didn’t like an armed Joss beating the crap out of an unarmed Valentin. That wasn’t fun to watch. Maybe this is supposed to be a demonstration of female empowerment but all I could think is Joss is a mentally unwell a— hole with Daddy issues. But sure, Eden and Laura are talented actors, and they really brought their A game. I just hate the storyline.
We’re all adults here so you can say asshole.
Joss is far from being mentally unwell, nor does she have “Daddy issues” Jax is her dad. Joss is sick about losing loved ones and almost losing other loved ones because of retribution directed toward Sonny. She lost her brother Morgan,Almost lost Michael,Almost lost Kristina and lost her BF. She is not just the younger sibling anymore, she has 2 younger siblings, plus has a much younger nephew and niece. It has very little to do with Sonny, the family man, but everything to do with Sonny and the enemies that have retaliated against the family. Sonny has been a well respected member of PC for a long time. Joss , because of her fear of losing more loved ones at the hands of his enemies cannot see the good side of him, including protecting her since she was a little girl from Sonny The Crime Boss.
I can see you’re a devoted fan of Joss’s. I am not but Eden is terrific.
The best episodes often happen when you least expect them. Carly and Joss laid all the cards on the table. And boy, did those scenes (and actresses) deliver!
It’s so impressive to see what a powerful performer McCoy has grown into. She held her own with the force that Wright has always been.
Kudos to the writers for making Joss’s reasoning for joining the WSB make sense. She clearly never got over Morgan’s death which was eventually compounded with Dex’s demise.
Simply riveting.
I am so shocked that Josslyn told Carly the entire story of how she came into the WSB. Joss should have never told Carly about killing Cyrus Renault. Joss is right. She’s a grown woman who does not need her mother’s permission or approval of her career choice. Eden McCoy and Laura Wright were terrific.
I was not happy with Felicia confronting Lulu. I’m no Lulu fan but what she and back from the dead Nathan do is none of Felicia’s business. Maxie made her choice and that choice is Spinelli.
Thank You
Eden was amazing….such a great reveal
Josslyn is out of control. If it wasn’t for Sonny and everyone like him (Jason), she would be dead!
Just how did Sonny prevent Joss from being dead?
I don’t know about the last part of your statement, but I agree with you about Jason being like Sonny. I mean, Joss stated she wanted to take down “Sonny and those like him”. Well, by her own definition, this would include Jason since Jason is Sonny’s enforcer. Her reasoning has too many holes. Although the scenes were riveting and well acted, I think the writers tossing in this Sonny angle is weak.
Don’t get me wrong she’s a great actress, but didn’t like her tone with her mother because Carly has been putting herself in harms way to get her out the situation she’s in.
Joss still acts like a petulant brat and watching her “play” WSB agent feels ridiculous. For me, she will always be Nellie Olsen dressed up as an ear of corn in the school play.
Indeed.
So sick of this revisionist history dragonshit from these writers. We all know Sonny is no saint. That’s why we like him down here in Hell. But he had NOTHING to do with Morgan’s alleged “death”.
That was a Jerome “family project”. Ava messed with Morgan’s medication. Julian was stupid enough to leave his keys in the car, which his psycho sister Olivia planted a bomb in.
Sonny also had nothing to do with Mikey getting BBQ’d last year. The guilty person there would seem to be the one who signs Joss’s WSB paychecks, WSB director and double agent Cullum.
Joss really should blame herself, honestly. If she had called Jason, rather than Jack Brennan, to clean up the mess after she sent Cyrus the Virus down here to Hell, she could have avoided this entire WSB clusterphuck.
There’s actual guilt and guilt by association. While Sonny might not have been directly responsible for Morgan’s death or Michael’s multiple mishaps, if he was not recognized as their father, those incidents would not have happened.
Mikey got BBQ’d at Sonny’s penthouse. So you might be able to make the argument that Sonny was the intended target there. But there’s no link at all between Sonny and Olivia Jerome’s psychopathic hatred of her own brother. Or Ava messing with Morgan’s medication because she was jealous of her own daughter having sex with him. (a pattern she repeated with Duke’s son Griffin, which ultimately resulted in her wishing Kiki was dead, and Ryan was happy to make that wish come true. I’m surprised the revisionist writers don’t have Joss blame Sonny for that one)
Red headed adolescent Michael took a bullet in the head and woke up a blond teenager with a literal axe to grind.
Going even further back, there’s the clink-boom catastrophe.
The bullet in Mikey’s head came from Claudia Zucchini. She got her payback from that when Mikey woke up a year later (yet somehow 5 years older) and he took matters (and an axe handle) into his own hands when she was threatening Carly and baby Joss.
The clink boom thing…. that was another case of a rival mobster going nuts and killing his own kid in the process. Sonny would have been well within his rights to kill Daddy Rivera after that, instead he left that decision up to the man himself. Who apparently couldn’t live with the guilt of blowing up Lily and his unborn grandchild.
I know all those details. Still doesn’t make Sonny any more safe as a father. With all their faults, the Qs would’ve been a better choice to raise Michael (even an alcoholic AJ).
Some of us are sick of this tired schtick too.
They were both fantastic in these scenes! Eden should submit them for best supporting actress in her Emmy reel next year.
Ick! The sex scene between Valentin and Carly was gross. Carly’s expression was cringe.
You speak the truth! Anyway, it was nonsense for them to end up in bed given how their day went. Or I guess typical soap nonsense. Maybe part of the reason for the rush was JPS’s schedule. I don’t know. I agree with you though. I fast forwarded through that scene.
At least Carly stopped smirking for a second.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
