Grief, loss, and lingering mysteries consume Port Charles.
The December 16, 2024, episode of General Hospital delivered a wave of emotions as Josslyn faced the devastating loss of Dex, while an investigation into his death took a chilling turn.
Josslyn’s Heartbreaking Farewell
The loss of Dex (ex-Evan Hofer) hit Josslyn (Eden McCoy) like a tidal wave. After learning of his tragic death, Anna (Finola Hughes) knew Joss would need someone to lean on — and that someone was Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).
Stone-faced and steady as always, Jason arrived just in time to watch Joss say her tearful goodbye. Dex, lifeless and pale, looked like a stranger lying in the hospital bed. Struggling to process the reality, Joss lovingly assured Dex that she would never forget him. Her whispered words — that she loved him and thanked him for loving her — broke hearts across Port Charles.
Once Joss left the room, she spotted Jason waiting for her, and without a word, ran straight into his arms. The two later found themselves on the bridge — a place of deep significance for Jason. He gently explained why he brought her there, calling it his favorite spot to think and talk. For long-time viewers, the iconic bridge brought a familiar sense of comfort.
There, Joss poured her heart out about losing not just Dex, but also Oscar (ex-Garren Stitt). The raw pain of loss and Jason’s quiet support made for a powerful, unforgettable moment.
Trouble at GH: A Growing Mystery
While Joss grieved, the drama at General Hospital continued to unfold. Portia (Brook Kerr) delivered tough news to Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) — she would need to temporarily step down as head nurse. Surprisingly, Elizabeth didn’t resist. Instead, she turned her focus toward helping Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) unravel the growing mystery surrounding the hospital.
As questions mounted, Anna reached out to Mac (John J. York) and Felicia (Kristina Wagner) to discuss Dex’s suspicious death. Riddled with guilt over asking Dex to join the PCPD, Anna wondered if his fate was sealed when he entered that world. Mac and Felicia reassured her, but the pieces of the puzzle painted a chilling picture: whoever attacked Dex likely came back to the hospital to finish the job.
Who Killed Dex? The Search for Answers Begins
The questions remain: Who is behind Dex’s death, and why? Is it tied to the rising chaos in Port Charles, or is there a deeper, darker force at play?
With Josslyn grieving, Jason quietly watching over her, and Anna, Lucky, and Elizabeth on the case, the investigation into Dex’s murder is just getting started — and the truth is bound to shake the town to its core.
