GH’s Josh Kelly On Cody’s Plan to Save Sasha: “He Has to Use Some Tough Love to Get Through to Her”
Last week, Cody (Josh Kelly) was able to neutralize Dr, Montague (Darin Toonder) in order to save Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) from his clutches at Ferncliff. For weeks, Montague has been drugging Sasha so badly, that she has been hallucinating, confused and isolated while in his clutches.
Now, after infiltrating the mental institution, Cody with the help of a getaway car (thank you, Sam!) has whisked Sasha away to hopefully safety. So what is Cody’s plans from here?
In a preview for the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, Kelly explains that after Cody brings Sasha to a remote cabin to begin to detox, “She’s frenetic and exhausted and still having hallucinations. For Cody, it’s just really sad. It hurts to watch and it’s really hard. But then he has to use some tough love to try to get through to her, because she kind of starts to not want to fight anymore. It requires Cody to cut pretty deep with some tough love.”

Cody is now on to Gladys (Bonnie Burroughs) and her part in all of this. As teased by Kelly, Cody is going to do anything in his power to bring her down, and to justice, while keeping Sasha safe. If Cody’s action land him in hot water with the PCPD or any other authorities, according to Kelly, that is OK by his soap opera alter-ego.
Josh added on Cody’s mindset, “He’s been in trouble his whole life and this is totally worth it. He’s like, ‘Who cares if I go to jail? This is bigger than me.'”
So, are you glad that FINALLY Sasha is out of Ferncliff? Are you rooting for a big love story ahead for Cody and Sasha? What SHOULD happen to Gladys now? Weigh-in via the comment section below. But first, check out this week’s promo for General Hospital.
Josh Kelly has been doing fantastic work as Cody Bell the past few months, and I can appreciate the change in character that’s been taken since his debut. And Sofia Mattsson has been playing this material to the hills, too. But enough with the Sasha torture porn; it’s unbearable at this point.
Yeah I’m sick of the Sasha torture too. I liked her with Brando but I like Cody with her too. Cody is better paired with her than Britt. Gladys…..ugh I wish Sonny was free so Nina could tell him what Gladys has done.
I’m definitely a Sasha and Brando fan. I was upset and frustrated when GH decided to kill him off. I’m not feeling the same chemistry with Sasha and Cody. It’s not working for me.
It was about time someone got Sasha out of that facility!! It was very nerve-wracking.for me to see Sasha being kept drugged up for as long as she was. I can’t help thinking Gladys will somehow wiggle her way out of this one but one thing I think we can all bet on is that Sasha sure won’t allow that woman to be in the same room with her if she does!!
I’m a Josh Kelly fan; was thrilled when I read he was coming to GH (I liked him since OLTL). He was really getting bashed on Twitter when “Cody” first came to the show; it was frustrating to read. I’m glad that Josh is now being recognized and that many are loving “Cody.” It seemed pretty obvious to me from the start this was a character who’d been hurt in his life, was emotionally lost and in defense mode.
I’m also SO glad they let his good looks come through. The scraggly facial hair, the sideburns, the clothes; he looked unattractive to many who aren’t familiar with the actor. His “new” look finally does him justice; hope they keep him that way!
So, yes, I’m a Sasha/Cody fan and I hope these writers can write a compelling story for them, a growing romance. I also really would like to see Cody tell Mac he’s his son, and for the show to give John York more airtime which he’s always deserved. They make a great father/son relationship. Unfortunately Jon tweeted that he’d be off the show for personal reasons for a while. Hopefully he’s okay and will be back to find out “Mac” has a son.
Gladys? Looks like they may kill her off; wondering if Cody will be accused. They definitely set it up for that to be the case…
I sure agree with you. I’ve loved Cody from the beginning when everyone was putting him down, insulting his looks, intentions, etc. I know he’ll somehow save Sasha, expose greedy Gladys, the mad Dr. and Ms. Woo for good measure.
Yes, agree with all… let’s wrap this story up fast. Love Josh Kelly, but not when he is playing the “crazed” version of Cody. Bring back the humorous version of Cody please
Get rid of Gladys please!!!! Can’t stand her! Cody and Sasha are not a good m a match.just friends please. Get rid of Trina too@ don’t like that character….
yes Cody Sasha needs you soo tired of this story let’s end it OK give Sasha a happy ending she’s been on the show for a while and nothing good has happened give her the same happiness that she gave willow and Michael.
Cody and Sasha definitely need to get together and let their love story unfold. They have undeniable chemistry. Gladys needs to answer to so many, not sure if jail, Fire and brimstone reckoning from sonny or Miss Wu terrorizing her is the most fitting of consequences for such a miserable, selfish and ridiculous woman
This storyline is boring. Gladys needs her ass kicked
I want Gladys and Dr. Montague to get what’s coming to them. I applaud Cody for trying to save Sasha. Its about time someone stood up for her.cody shouldn’t have to pay any price for helping her.
For sure Cody and Sasha romance. Get rid of the Dr
Im loving Cody Bell. He’s a Ero & he loves Sasgae just dont know it yet. ❤❤
I wish Mac knew he was his dad ❤❤
Have Sonny take care of Gladys and have Sasha finally get the help she needs to recover. Hopefully Cody and Sasha could start a friendship.
It’s about time for Sasha to be out that he’ll hole thanks to Cody and Sam for helping her ,Gladis and the dr to get what they both deserved need same treatment as Sasha hurray to Cody and Max need to know his son Sasha need to smile and kick Gladys to the curb.
This story line has to end. Give Gladys what she deserves which is jail time. Let Cody and
Sasha love each other!
Cody (Josh Kelly) needs to keep a hot burner storyline and fire up a romance soon. Get going writers before the old crew returns.
It was great to see the Sasha and Cody coming together in the cabin and the emotions shown by both of them there. That was great when Sasha started to trust Cody after violently and forcefully yelling at him she finally reached for his hand.
I want to see the character plot with his Mac daddy
I hope they keep Sasha out of ferncliff after they’re caught. I really like Cody and Sasha together. They have chemistry big time.
Hate this storyline, but Sofia Mattson is absolutely KILLING it. Hope this is on her Emmy submission tape this year.
LOVE THESE 2 TOGETHER BUT, THEY NEED TO TAKE IS SLOW. YES GET GLADY’S WHAT SHE DESERVE FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO HER DAUGHTER IN LAW. GET THE DR THAT DID IT ALSO. LEAVE SASHA ALONE ALEADY SHE DESERVES TO BE HAPPY. LOVE THE CHARACTERS OF COSY AND SASHA
NINA NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT DOWN ALSO FOR WHAT SHE DID TO CARLY AND DREW

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
