There’s always been something a little luminous about Eden McCoy’s time on General Hospital — the way she plays Josslyn with that mix of bite and vulnerability, a kid who grew up too fast but still finds the light when the show throws another storm at her. Over the years, viewers have watched her carry heartbreak, rebellion, first love, and real loss. But the post she shared during this week’s supermoon felt like the first time she pulled the curtain back on something deeper, something personal, the kind of truth that doesn’t need a storyline to hit.

General Hospital, a daughter, a moon, and a moment of clarity

General Hospital’s Eden McCoy wrote on Instagram, “I often look to astrology to remind and teach myself that I am a part of something much bigger than me. It is ancient, grounding, and (literally) out of this world. I’ve learned that today is not just a full moon, but a super full moon. This happens when a full moon coincides with the moon's perigee - the point in her elliptical orbit when she’s nearest our planet.”

Her somber vibe continued: “It also just so happens that today is the day that my mom transitioned somewhere other than this planet. For me, she is the moon tonight, who’s decided that today she’s going to get as close to me as she can. Her love is incredible, and nature is incredible.” But her mother is always with her as she finished with, “Mom, I’m so grateful that I see you so often now. Thank you for continuing to show that nature is the greatest teacher. There is no separation. Thought I should pass her wisdom and the moon’s onto you. A reminder that we are the same as everything around us.”

She paired the caption with a childhood photo — her mother hugging her tight, that kind of instinctive, easy love that settles right in your throat when you see it — and then a short video of the full moon glowing against the sky. No explanation needed; the symbolism did the rest.

General Hospital star Laura Wright, her on-screen mother Carly, was one of the first to reach out in the comments, writing, “I love you so so much.” (Find out what McCoy thinks about Joss' spy career.)

The connection is never lost. And you’re absolutely right, astrology is awesome.” A

What came through wasn’t just sympathy — it was a community circling someone they’ve watched grow up onscreen, offering love in the only language that fits moments like this: simple, raw, and real.
