    Stars Say

    • “So, I do remember her on that first day, but it wasn’t until the storyline where Josslyn had friends to the house and was drinking and got caught with a beer bottle in the couch or something where I was like, “Okay! Now we have an actor!” Not that the others weren’t, but they were younger, and you don’t really know what to expect. So I was like, “Okay, now we have a storyline and an actress who can do it and is willing to jump right in.” That’s the storyline that changed it for me.” – Laura Wright, Soap Opera Digest
    • “She’s evolved as an actress so much. I think she was 12 or 13 when she first came on the show, and I was doing a little bit of recurring when I was in Hawaii and flying in for little seven or 10-episode arcs. Wow! What a difference it is working with her now. I didn’t see it until I started working with her again. Laura told me. She said, “You wait until you start working with her.” I hope we get to do a lot more things together and really explore the father/daughter relationship.” – Ingo Rademacher, TV and Music Network
    • “I absolutely adore those two girls. Eden [McCoy, Josslyn] and Sydney [Mikayla, Trina] are so talented. We have a lot of fun. It’s always just a privilege to be able to work with those two.” – William Lipton, Soap Opera Digest
    • “She is very funny and always kind to us.” – Grace Scarola, 2023 Holiday Q&A
    • “As an actor, I respect Eden’s constant quest to learn and study and to work hard at her craft. I feel like Eden, more and more every day, is seeing what she wants and is doing the work to have the life and the career she wants. And at her age, I think it’s incredible. This isn’t an easy business, and Eden clearly sees what she has to do to have the career that she wants. And she does the work. And on a personal note, I just love watching how much fun she has! I get to be like, “Oh, I remember those days,” as I’m in bed by 9 p.m. with a cup of tea!” – Laura Wright, Soap Opera Digest
    • “I tested with Eden McCoy [Josslyn] and she is such a sweetheart[…]Eden was so great to work with immediately and we just had some very fun banter and chemistry right off the bat.” – Avery Pohl, Soap Opera Digest
    • “You never fail to inspire me. You are such a talent to work beside and I couldn’t have asked for a better on screen bestie.” – Sydney Mikayla, Instagram
    • “It’s really fun when we get to work with Eden. She is awesome, beautiful and really fun to be around.” – Ava Scarola, 2023 Holiday Q&A
