GENERAL Hospital star Eden McCoy has been replaced on the soap opera.

Fans flooded her with support amid a tragedy in her family.

Eden, 20, who plays Josslyn Jacks, is temporarily leaving General Hospital, according to Soap Opera News.

Courtney made her debut as the character on Monday's episode.

Fans assume that Eden is temporarily off the show because she is mourning the loss of her mom, who died in November.

And the episodes that are airing now were filmed during that time.

Eden will return, but her comeback date is not known.

'I WILL CARRY YOU FOREVER'

Eden announced the news on her Instagram shortly after her mother died.

"It feels bizarre and almost performative to make a post so personal on the most impersonal space, but many people who knew my mother and also knew me didn’t know what was going on, and this is the easiest way to let everyone know," Eden started her post.

She posted a photo of her mom standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in France, as well a card she made as a child that read: "20 reasons why I love my mom."

"They also deserve to mourn and part with her in whatever way they may choose. My mother has fought an intense battle with cancer for the past 2 and a half years and has now left us physically," Eden continued.

"I’m not sure what to say other than she was, is, and will be the best thing I have ever known. She is responsible for every good part of me, and she took me with her when she left."

Eden went on: "Losing my mother has always been my greatest fear, as I’m sure many of you feel the same, and we have this habit as people of thinking that it will never happen to us. Unfortunately it can, and sometimes it does."

She ended: "My one wish is that we will meet again. You carried me with you for 9 months and now I will carry you forever. I see you everywhere."

'GOD BLESS YOU!'

 When the news came out that Courtney temporarily replaced Eden, fans flocked to social media to share their support.

One X, formerly Twitter, user wrote: "She did really good. But, i definitely miss Eden already. She is Josslyn. No one can top her. Can’t wait til she’s ready to come back. God bless you E and I know your beautiful mama is smiling down at you #GH."

"Temp Joss did really good. But I can’t wait for Eden to be back. She is Josslyn!" said another.

A third added: "Hope our lovely Eden is feeling well - it’s very understandable she needs time to herself to grieve, I’m glad #GH is giving this sweet angel that. It’s not easy losing a parent especially so young, my heart is with her. Glad we have a temp until our real Joss comes back! #JEX."

"Kudos to the actress for doing a decent job while Eden was on bereavement leave," said another.
