Lucy Coe, the CEO of Jax Cosmetics has been one of the main leads of the hit soap opera General Hospital. She has been part of the series since 1986.

Considering that the long-running series is still not slowing down after six decades on the air, fans have seen Lucy's growth in the series. But somehow, it still begs the question, how old is she exactly?

Well, the actress Sheryl Lynn Herring is already in her mid-60s in real life. Meanwhile, her on-screen counterpart is speculated to be in her 50s.

Keep in mind that Lucy Coe has been a part of General Hospital for over 600 episodes, and fans are not happy with how the once "mousy librarian" turned out to be in the latter part of the show.

Fans have shown concern and disdain as to how her story is being portrayed like a high schooler when she should be acting more like an actual CEO owning her company in the series. Here's what fans have to say.

As fans have pointed out by taking this discussion on Reddit, Lucy tends to act "childish" and "immature" in some of the episodes.

Not only does her story usually revolve around her love life, but her choice of facial expressions is also deemed questionable.

It's one thing to explicitly show frustration over having to "suck it up and be an adult", but it's a whole different thing when Lucy decides to "pout like a four-year-old who didn't get her way."

One fan speculated that General Hospital is being "incredibly dismissive of Lucy," which could explain why her character is being neglected even in her own story.

It is worth mentioning though that another fan pointed out that despite these "childish" and "immature" reactions at her age, her selfishness and controlling personality are what "produces some pretty d*mn good drama and comedy."

While it remains to be seen whether this has something to do with the writing of the script or the acting, fans are hoping this does get addressed soon.
