General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is still feeling the terrible loss of Oscar Nero Quartermaine’s (Garren Stitt) death. It’s been a real period of adjustment and she’s had a rough time heading back to school this fall without him. She’s getting plenty of support from Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Jasper “Jax” Jacks (Ingo Rademacher), but grief can be tough, especially for a teenager who has lost her first love.
Joss is getting lots of support from her friends Cameron Webber (William Lipton) and Trina Robinson (Sydney Mikayla) as well, but Joss is finding herself struggling to adjust to situations that remind her of Oscar. That’s why going back to school has been so tough for her, and it’s why Cam and Trina don’t provide a lot of comfort to her, despite their best intentions and their unwavering support.
But there are a couple of people who have helped Joss. One is her new teacher, Dustin Phillips (Mark Lawson), who didn’t seem to know Oscar and whom Joss has received comfort from. He was supportive when Joss got upset during class recently and he was able to talk with her and suggest that she start keeping a diary to get her feelings out. The other person who has been helpful for Joss is Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab), who is a fresh face who doesn’t remind Joss of Oscar at all.
Joss has now told both of her parents how much she likes Dev and that she doesn’t consider him to be a negative within the family. Of course, Jax isn’t keen on Dev living with the Corinthos family because he knows that Dev isn’t really related to Sonny, and he worries about Joss living in the same house with a teen whose background isn’t well known or understood. But Joss has made it clear that she thinks Dev is good for her, since he doesn’t constantly remind her of Oscar.
And that leads us to wonder whether there could be a future pairing between Joss and Dev. Certainly, it will take the necessary time for Joss to fully grieve Oscar, process his death, and then decide to move on with her life, but it seems like Joss and Dev get along well and that they could be a viable teen couple when the time is right.
But what kind of family turmoil would it cause if Joss and Dev were to become boyfriend and girlfriend? There’d be the issue of them living in the same house, which would certainly upset Jax. In fact, he would probably be outraged by that situation, and he might insist at that point that Joss move in with him. One can’t imagine that Carly would be thrilled with the situation, either, nor would Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
The other thing to consider here is that Dev is supposed to be a member of the Corbin family, so the optics of him being in a romantic teen pairing with Joss would be weird. It would certainly be a messy situation that would probably have all the adults in the picture up in arms and wondering what to do, but since we’d be talking about young love here, it would probably be impossible to keep Dev and Joss apart.
We’ll see what, if anything, ultimately happens between Joss and Dev, but the potential family fallout seems huge. Do you anticipate Joss and Dev eventually getting together? Stay tuned to the ABC soap and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest General Hospital spoilers, updates, and news.
