SUMMARY

Brent and Danielle’s cocky younger brother moved to King’s Bay in 2004 and took a job at Willis Advertising. Though he dated Courtney Chase, he shared an attraction with his coworker, Lauren Brooks, who was dating Jason Fisher at the time. It took several years and relationships with other people — as well as Lauren pushing Josh away because of his questionable choices — but Josh and Lauren finally admitted their love for one another and married in 2012. They moved to Los Angeles, where Josh scored a job at a major film studio. The following year, Lauren gave birth to their daughter, Annie (named after Josh’s late mother, Anita).

They continue to visit King’s Bay for holidays and special occasions. In late 2018, they welcomed their second child, a son named Max.
