General Hospital spoilers may always stir up excitement, but this time it was casting that stole the spotlight. Laura Wright, known for her long-running role as Carly Corinthos, recently delighted fans with a throwback post on Twitter. She shared a picture of herself at just 23 years old, and the photo immediately had fans doing a double take. The reason? Her striking resemblance to Eden McCoy, the talented actress who plays Carly’s daughter, Josslyn Jacks, on the soap opera.
In her caption, Laura kept things simple but powerful, writing: “Me at 23 :))) looks like Eden.” That one line was enough to set off a wave of fan reactions. Viewers instantly pointed out how uncanny the resemblance was and praised the casting team for such a perfect choice. Many fans agreed that General Hospital should win a “Best Casting Award” for pairing Eden with Laura, given how naturally believable their on-screen mother-daughter dynamic feels.
What makes this even more remarkable is that fans have long appreciated Eden’s portrayal of Josslyn. She has captured Carly’s fiery resilience and emotional depth, making her a natural fit for the role. Laura’s photo now proves that Eden doesn’t just embody Carly’s personality — she also shares her youthful look, as though history repeated itself in casting. This authenticity adds another layer of connection for viewers who have followed Carly’s journey for years.
The responses to Laura’s post highlight just how important thoughtful casting is to the success of a soap opera. Fans don’t just want good acting; they want to see believable relationships, both in performance and in appearance. In this case, General Hospital exceeded expectations, creating a family resemblance that makes the Corinthos storylines even more engaging.
For long-time viewers, Laura’s post was also a sweet trip down memory lane. It allowed fans to see Carly at the beginning of her journey and compare that with the growth of her daughter’s character on the show today. It’s rare for soap operas to achieve this kind of generational casting magic, but General Hospital has shown why it continues to remain one of daytime’s most beloved dramas.
Laura Wright’s newest post made one thing clear — when it comes to Josslyn Jacks, General Hospital absolutely nailed it. If there were ever a “Best Casting Award,” Eden McCoy would be the undeniable winner. Stay tuned for more General Hospital spoilers, updates, and casting news, only on Soap Opera Daily.
