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

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
