Willa Rose Appears To Be Around Three To Five Years Old
Willa Rose’s age has not been published, but she looks to be around three to five years old, and her other appearances have been in the television series “I’m Dying Up Here”, “Here and Now” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”; it is also not known exactly what age Nelle Benson will be as portrayed by Willa. When the character of Nelle was introduced on General Hospital in 2016 she was assumed to be around twenty-five years old, with Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) having been forty-two years old.
That would make a difference of seventeen years between the two, but according to a synopsis and recent spoilers of the Carly and Nelle centric episode on Wednesday, April 8 that Willa appears in as Nelle as a child, Carly knew of Nelle and had seen her with her adoptive father, Frank Benson who will be played by James Patrick Stuart.
Eden McCoy, who plays Josslyn Jacks normally and will play a teenage Carly for this episode, is sixteen as Josslyn and can be assumed to be the same age as Carly. It appears that Nelle will be SORASED for this episode, making the age difference much less than seventeen years, perhaps more like ten or twelve. Carly’s adoptive mother Virginia Benson will be played by Cynthia Watros in this episode.
Nelle Benson Came To Town With A Similar Agenda To That Of Carly Corinthos

Longtime General Hospital viewers will recall that when Carly first came to town, it was for revenge and to take out the terrible life that she had endured on her birth mother, Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman) who had given her up for adoption as a baby. Nelle came to town with a similar agenda against Carly plus she was jealous of the lavish lifestyle Carly had achieved, with part ownership of the Metro Court and married to the wealthy Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
This episode where Willa Rose will be seen as Nelle as a child will reveal a secret Carly has held, possibly for many years and presumably about Nelle, who she apparently knew of as a child and saw with her absentee adoptive father, Frank Benson. Willa Rose is also bilingual, and speaks both English and French, as another General Hospital child actor, Jophielle Love does. Perhaps the two know one another, although nothing is stated whether they do or not.
