One of the greatest things about soap operas is getting to see our favorite characters grow and grow up before our eyes. And it’s even more special when we have the privilege of watching actors grow up before our eyes, as well! Thanks to SORASing (Soap Opera Rapid Aging), though, it can be a bit of a rarity to watch someone like General Hospital‘s Eden McCoy grow from young teen, to accomplished woman.
Fortunately, General Hospital decided not to hurry Josslyn along, and let her and McCoy come into their own for the past decade. When McCoy debuted 10 years ago, on October 14, 2015, none of us had a clue what was coming — and we certainly never would have guessed Josslyn would turn into a spy for the WSB! But here we are, and McCoy had a special message on Instagram as she celebrated her milestone anniversary.
“10 years of life has happened in this studio,” the actress wrote . What a special thing to be able to celebrate. And an impossible thing to put into words. It’s embarrassing (from 13 years old to probably 17?) and remarkable that most of my life is documented on camera forever, starting at age 12 to now, 22.”
McCoy continued on, marveling, “My life has become unrecognizable from the life I had my first day at this job, yet the one thing that is the same is my ability to come to this set, and work with people who have become family. Whenever I see old scenes from previous years, I don’t see the scene, I see whatever I was going through in my real life at that time.”
But as much as General Hospital has given McCoy, she made it clear that she couldn’t have done this alone. “This show has given me the opportunity to provide for myself and create the life that I love, “Josslyn’s longtime portrayer wrote, “and this show is around because of the fans. So thank you to anyone who has tuned in the last decade. And the cast and crew, you know who you are. And the team in the booth that keeps this show running. You put the food on my table. And you gave me so many lessons that are not seen on camera. I love you.”
The feeling is mutual! Onscreen, though, Carly might soon be feeling a whole lot more than just love when she finds out Josslyn’s joined the WSB — and is working for her beau! But hey, that just proves Josslyn’s got plenty of drama in her left to explore for the next ten years!
