General Hospital fans are not okay with Joss’ arc, in which she is pulled into covert operations with the WSB. This all started when her boyfriend, Dex Heller, was murdered. It inspired Joss to have her share of revenge, but now, she has fallen deeper into the storyline.
She ended up killing a man in self-defense and was then helped by Agent Jack Brennan, who wants her to join WSB for good. This means that she is not exploring her college dramas and relationships, but rather being seen in a more tense arc dealing with national security.

General Hospital fans have objected to Joss’ transition from pre-med student to secret agent. The biggest concern is that it seems highly unlikely. Viewers feel that the WSB storyline conflicts significantly with the character that they have come to know.
She had ambitions for her career and relationships, which are now sidelined to fit Joss into a darker, action-heavy story. Her original storylines resonated with most soap opera beats of young adult characters.
Another facet of this criticism of Joss’ WSB storyline is that she will now put everyone around her in danger. Given that she will enter into life-threatening situations, it will automatically put her family and friends at immediate risk.
This shift from college drama and relationships to some undercover agent-based work is why fans are asking the writers to end the storyline. They want it scaled back or ended completely.
A fan wrote on Facebook, “So over this stupid Joss is a WSB agent storyline. She doesn’t sell it as an agent. Please GH end it now.” Others agreed with the notion and replied, “I agree I liked it when she was going to college to be a doctor! This story of her becoming a WSB agent is just stupid like most things going on GH now.” Another added, “She’s about as good a WSB agent as I am. This whole WSB storyline needs to go out the window. It’s sooo boring!”
