Fans have been calling Dex things like, “Sonny’s new Jason,” and “Jason 2.0.” Joss herself even called him, “no neck, and, “Sonny’s muscle.” That being said, we can’t help but think of a certain someone. Does Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) ring a bell? Of course! Joss and Dex are a lot like Carly and Jason. If history is going to repeat itself in its own new way, Josslyn follows in Carly’s footsteps.
