Is Josslyn Really Leaving General Hospital?

Joss fans can rest easy — in an interview Eden McCoy did with a podcast called "The Chat," the actor revealed that she recently signed a fresh three-year contract with "GH," which means she's going to be sticking with the show for the near future. "I just love both too much to not do them both," she said, meaning both school and the soap.

McCoy, a student at the University of Southern California, spoke about the challenges of keeping her educational interests and her work as an actor in balance on the podcast. "School's very important to me," she said. She added that she's been a working actor "since elementary school," which was when she joined "General Hospital" as a child.

Since babies and child characters on soap operas are often rapidly aged to give both their parental figures and the characters themselves better story line opportunities, that means that the network and the show's producers likely have great faith in McCoy's ability to portray both Joss' childhood foibles and her teenage angst. For any actor, that's a pretty big triumph.
