“I’m my own actor and my own person, but I’ve adopted her character into mine,” McCoy added. “I’ll see edits online comparing us, and I didn’t even realize I was doing that! And it’s really cool, because that’s exactly what the show wanted when I started.”

Meanwhile, McCoy said that Josslyn is undeniably her father’s daughter and she sees a lot of Jax in her.  “Jax, like Josslyn, sees the best in people. He’s very forgiving and just wants to go surf,” she said. “Not that Carly isn’t nice… but she’s a mama bear. She’s been around. She doesn’t see the best in people, she sees the reality of people. And she holds more of a grudge.”

And while Carly and Jax are quite the opposite of each other, McCoy said that Josslyn is a perfect product of their combination.
