General Hospital Fans React to the Joss, Sonny, and Avery Scenes

Monday's episode of General Hospital was a heartbreaking one that featured some dramatic scenes between Sonny, Josslyn, and Avery. Joss (Eden McCoy) called Sonny (Maurice Benard) out for his criminal life while his young daughter, Avery (Ayla Bullington), overheard her from another room in his house. GH fans are reacting to the scenes.

Avery Overheard as Joss Tore Into Sonny

When Joss visited Sonny, she saw that Avery was there. That's when she should have put her rant on hold. But she couldn't wait to tell him that she'd found the microphone that Ric (Rick Hearst) had planted in Hudson's (Troy Lennon Appel) briefcase. As Avery stood in another room, she overheard all of Joss' angry words to Sonny. Here's what Facebook fans had to say.

"Anger and obsession with getting revenge comes at a price," one fan noted.

"Sonny has only loved and protected Josslyn," another fan said. "I cannot understand all of the hatred she has towards him. Perhaps it is coming from the way he used to treat Dex."

"He wasn't bad when HER LIFE was the one protected and saved," another fan said.

One fan replied to that post, "Thank you! She had no problem using his name for her benefit in the past."

"I'm just sad to see this exchange between Sonny and Joss," one fan said. "Joss is okay with Jason but not with Sonny."

"Joss is awful," another fan posted. "She better quit burning her bridges. She's gonna need Sonny when all is said and done to ward off any and all who want those docks."

"Everyone hates Sonny until they need him," one fan wrote. That post garnered over 370 likes.

"Joss is gonna need Sonny to come to her defense," another fan said. "Something is gonna happen on those docks, and she is gonna see why Sonny had them in his name, and find out what happens when you think you know how the big boys play, but are so wrong!"

"Ugh, they all keep blaming him for the beatdown," one fan said. "She was way out of line today."

Another fan remarked, "I hope Jude takes those piers from Joss, then she comes running to Sonny for help."

Why Was Joss Crying?

Joss was so emotional in those scenes with Sonny that she actually cried while she was ranting at him, which confused some Facebook fans.

"If Josslyn hates Sonny so bad, then why is she crying?" one fan wondered.

"Why is Joss crying?" another fan wondered, adding, "Angry tears."

"What I don't understand is why Joss was crying?" still another fan wondered. "She couldn't care less about Sonny. She started to cry way before Avery showed up."

One fan shared this perspective: "I think there are a lot of hidden emotions running through Joss. Remember, Sonny was a key figure in the breakup of her parents. I think years of not seeking counseling to deal with Sonny screwing with her family's life over and over did a lot of damage."

One fan replied to that post, "He hurt her when he left Carly and tore the family apart."

Another fan shared another perspective, saying, "The way Josslyn is acting, I believe she's angry or jealous because of the way people love Sonny. She misses her own father, and you can see it in her eyes that this vendetta she has started with Sonny has a deeper meaning to it."

"Josslyn is so angry at Sonny because she loves him," one fan wrote. "She is mad because she is not his stepdaughter any longer. That's why she is crying. Someone is going to come after her, and he will save her. Then she will see he was telling the truth."

One fan shared a particularly intriguing remark, speculating, "I really want the custody fight for Phoebe to reveal that Joss is actually Sonny's." That post garnered over 300 likes.

One fan replied to the post, "Shoot, that would really be a great twist!"

Another fan responded, "That would be really funny, but the blood work would only show that Joss isn't related to Phoebe, so Phoebe isn't a Jacks, so Jude can't be Phoebe's father. Nobody would claim that Joss was fathered by Sonny."

One fan wrote, "Any time a DNA test comes into a storyline on GH, anything may be revealed."

Avery Verbally Ripped Joss to Shreds

When Avery blasted Joss for talking trash about her father, Joss' portrayer, Eden McCoy, broke our hearts with a look of devastation on her face. She clearly hated that her stinging words were hurting Avery, and yet, she chose to stay and make everything worse instead of simply leaving. Here's how Facebook fans reacted to the scenes.

"I shouted, yes, Avery, you tell her!" one fan cried. "Loved how she stood up for her dad! Good job, Avery!"

"Love the way Avery told Joss off," another fan said.

"Joss was wrong today," one fan posted. "She really overstepped." That post garnered over 130 likes.

"First scene on GH to make me bawl like a baby for a very long time! Well done!" one fan exclaimed.

"I was yelling at the TV to have Sonny pick Joss up and throw her out!" another fan remarked. "Some nerve she had. I like the actress, but Joss is getting on my last nerve. LOL"

"I like Joss, but she should have turned around and left when she saw Avery there," one fan commented.

"I loved Avery coming to her dad's side," another fan said.

Other fans evidently felt the same way, as one fan said, "I am so proud of Avery for defending her father."

Likewise, another fan stated, "I'm glad Avery stuck up for her father."

"I was so glad Avery knocked Joss down a few pegs," one fan said.

"I love it. Avery said what we all wanted to say," another fan remarked.

"Joss is really losing her mind, consumed with hate for Sonny," one fan said.

"Joss is out of control," another fan said, adding an emoji of an angry face.

Still another fan said, "Joss needs to be ashamed of herself."

While most fans were Team Avery, a minority of fans sided with Joss.

"Glad Joss finally smartened Avery up to who her father really is, and now she needs to find out how he really treats her mother Ava," one fan said.

"Team Joss," another fan said.

"No matter whose side you're on, can we just appreciate the acting in these scenes for a minute?" one fan wrote.

"I thought these were extremely well done scenes by all of them," one fan praised. "The girls brought their A plus game today! Well done!"

The episode was heart-wrenching, and it was an excellent debut episode for Ayla Bullington, as teenager Avery. We look forward to seeing more of her as this dramatic storyline continues. Welcome to GH, Ayla!
