GENERAL HOSPITAL: ‘When Cody Met Lulu’, Are You Down for a Romance Between the Two?
Lulu Spencer’s (Alexa Havins) return to the living may have just taken a very unexpected and welcome turn. On Tuesday’s, November 26th episode of General Hospital, Lulu’s escape from Turning Woods, led her to the side of road, hitchhiking, and looking for a ride to get her out of dodge.
Lo and behold, who should drive by and stop, but Cody (Josh Kelly)! At that point, Lulu gets in the car. He asks her if she is OK and she claims that she and her boyfriend got into a fight in his car, and he left her at the side of the road. She really appreciates Cody stopping for her.
When Cody asks where is she going, she in turn asks him where he’s headed. Cody says home to Port Charles. She says that’s where she lives, too. Cody offers her a lollipop and initially she doesn’t like the flavor, but then after hearing Cody talk about them, she says the flavor of the lollipop is growing on her.

Lulu asks what the day is, and Cody tells her it’s November 26. However, in a key point, the year was never mentioned. Lulu says her brother’s birthday is coming up and she didn’t want to miss it. The two chitchat about family and Lulu says family is everything, and she can’t wait to see her two kids. She tells Cody it seems like forever since she has seen them.
Eventually, Cody drops her off a few blocks away from her destination. He gives her some money, and his phone number, and tells Lulu his name. She, in turn, does not reveal her name.

Lulu finds herself at a familiar doorstep, which is Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) house. At the end of the episode, as Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) is inside Maxie’s house learning that she is pregnant with Michael’s (Chad Duell) child, Lulu is outside the front door. Because Lulu and Maxie are besties, she knew exactly where Maxie keeps the extra house key. Lulu retrieves it from underneath the planter and begins to use it to open the front door and we fade to black.
In story, viewers still do not know if Lulu remembers that she is still in love with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which happened shortly before the blast that landed her in a coma four years ago (and caused her then boyfriend Dustin’s death), or if she thinks she is married to Dante, or doesn’t remember any of that at all.
So, what did you think about the connection made between Lulu and Cody? Is this the plan for Lulu to have feelings now for Cody? Is a love triangle on tap between Dante/Lulu/Cody which would pit the two men who have been friends and odds? And now what will happen to Sasha, pregnant with Michael’s child, with the impending exit early next year of Chad Duell? Share your reactions, thoughts, and theories via the comment section. But first, check out the scenes where Cody met Lulu below.
Technically, Cody first met Lulu when he went to her GH room with Dante over a month ago. They should’ve gave him a “you look kind of familiar” line.
That said, there did seem to be palpable chemistry between the two.
A pairing of a Spencer and a Scorpio. Could be a good move.
Cody is also supposed to be Dante’s best friend… should he not have seen at least one picture of Lulu at some point? Seems implausible that he just happened upon her and doesn’t recognize who she is.
Sweet sexy Cody could chemistry with a lamp
Which is why Cody should hook up with Willow.
OMG, bite your to tongue, yuk,etc,etc!
Neither character knew each other prior so a “romance” is possible but I think unlikely. There are many more deep issues facing Lulu so the timing is off. Please, no more storylines!
Maxie lives in Lulu’s old house.
Not already. I really think the writers muffed this up by having Cody sit with Lulu (which was strange anyway) and now not recognize her. Yes, it was dark, and she was wearing a hoodie. And, yes, the hoodie may have hidden her face some and sometimes when you see someone at an unexpected place you don’t put two and two together ~ but this is stretching things if they’re going to pair these two.
GH is hitting some great highs in their stories while hitting great lows in others. I wish the writing was more even.
So what in Hell’s name was the point of killing off Sam, if not to free up Dante for a reunion with Lulu?
I love Sasha and Cody together. But both characters are likeable and I cheer for them together or separately. I don’t like GH separated them but I guess this is where we’re at. In the land of make believe, I think Luke would rather see Lulu with Cody than Dante. Laura would welcome Cody with loving arms. And we know Tracy would love the pairing. Just please GH, quit writing such horrible circumstances for Sasha. Let her catch a break for once please.
While Luke and Robert were friends, there was no love lost between Mac and Luke, so I’m not sure Luke would want his daughter with Mac’s son. For newer viewers, Felicia had a (stomach turning) dalliance with Luke 25 years ago. Mac and Luke also butted heads frequently due to Mac’s job as Police Commissioner.
You make good points. Yes Omg the nightmares. The Luke and Felicia pairing. Horrid.
Absolutely I agree. Other than Nina , Sasha seems to be the ” whipping girl” on GH Ad Nausea. GH seems to pick one character that is the Teflon personna and one that can’t make a positive move. Glad to see Lulu bounced back so miraculously! What next?
yes, lets ruin another friendship, who cares at this point GH is trying to mix and match and make everything messy anyways no boundaries whatsoever, they got kissing cousins and uncle screwing nephews wife, and mob killer free after killing and FBI agent, creepy criminal uncle in charge of nieces healthcare, and on an on an on. So yeah lets all be ok with Cody hooking up with Lulu, because that’s what friends do with their Best friend ex wife.
Good descriptions. Especially what you said about Cyrus. Yuck that character is irredeemable.
YOU ARE SO FLIPPIN SPOT ON. GH writers S U X, INCEST CENTRAL over there. The town ain’t! THAT small.
100% I want to see Cody in a adventurous strong story soon. The talents of Josh Kelly are yet to be fully utilized.
Well seeing how GH likes to take 2 years to launch a romance – then just when we are rooting for the couple = they pull the rug out from under us. That WILL BE 2006 FOLKS – if GH lasts that long.
I guess it is okay if they stumble around the whole Dante issue for a while. But mark my words Cody will never be as happy as he was with Sasha.
It doesn’t matter what the fans think. If a couple is happy together, GH writers will rip them apart immediately.
So true. Sadly true.
Or, one of them will wear 8 layers of clothing in bed – taking any romance out of the scene.
I have been impressed with Alexa so far after not being familiar with her work on All My Children.
Have not watched the show in years but RH is gold always has been
I’m ready for something different. Any chance of Valentin and Charlotte returning now? Since Valentin adores Charlotte, would he seek revenge on Cyrus for trying to kill Charlotte’s mother? Cyrus may have have also killed Sam, a Cassadine. Valentin is on good terms with Alexis and would not be happy to know she’s suffering. I don’t know. Probably wishful thinking on my part. Valentin does have some redeeming characteristics sometimes.
James Patrick Stuart has moved to Oregon. That doesn’t preclude him from making appearances as Valentin as other recurring cast members (John York, Rena Sofer) now fly in for their episodes. With Valentin gone, it does appear we’re on an extended absence from all things Cassadine.
I think it would be dumb to make Lulu and Cody a couple. I thought killing Sam off was the perfect opportunity to reunite Lulu and Dante. It’s bad enough that Lulu came out of a FOUR YEAR COMA to immediately walk and talk!
Yeah…What Up With THAT? what abt the Major Surgery and anti rejection drugs required? And the ATROPHY of limbs and Body from laying around 4 yrs ?
GH is disappointing me in so many ways and I have watched for years. I hate when they break up couples that belong together ( Sam and Jason for one ). They were an epic couple and the chemistry was amazing. I never really got onboard with the Sam and Dante dynamic ( to each their own). Carly and Sonny were a force like no other and they broke them up. Now , Michael and Willow! Come on GH , get it together. And don’t get me started on the new Drew. It’s disgusting how you have turned him into a big gigolo with him sleeping his way through 3 top women on the show, shame on you! Now you go and kill off one of the most beautiful and impressive, strong willed and long running characters, Sam. Why!!? Not only do you kill her off, now she has a long lost child? I hope you don’t think this will please too many fans. I for one am disgusted with the whole thing. I love GH but you’re about to lose a Huge faithful fan. One more thing, Sasha pregnant by Michael , give me a break!! Keep doing stuff like this and I’m not the only one who will consider calling it quits with the show
Agree completely
Hey I am out. It gets worse everyday. Too many women having kids by the same man. How do you explain that to the kids?
No, no Cody and lulu. They need to put lulu and Dante back together even if it takes a little bit.
It will take more than a little bit with Cody and Lulu if it even happens. Reminder unless a couple thumps together in a drunken blind sex scenario or due to some kind of passion – it takes GH 2 years (lookin at 2026 here folks) for the couple to actually be happy. Then GH will either go for it or gut all the fans out like a dead fish. GH will pull the rug out after 2 years of rooting for the romance. So we have quite a bit of time for Dante to explore all the angles w/Lulu.
No way, it would cause conflict between Dante and Cody!
Absolutely no Cody and Lulu should not get into a relationship that’s betrayal to Dante for one thing and yes Cody knew about Lulu. The writers have really screwed up on this one
Unfortunately, I think the silly end game right now for the moment w/Cody is Lulu. If for nothing else than to stop at least half the fans screaming about their break-up. Have to admit it is nice to see Cody work with more than 5 -8 people on this show. Officially he has never met Laura or Ana. Considering Cody is one of Frank’s golden boys, he is utilized very little. There is so much about the Dominique story to be told.
GH TPTD when they messed with one of the longest slow burn couples in history and somehow thought pairing Sasha back with woodchuck Micheal was a great idea ( because they had SO screwed it up the first time) How’s that workin out for ya now GH (HA HA HA),
Cody’s been on GH for 3 years now and not had sex – not even a one nighter. So fear not it will more than likely take till 2026 to get things rolling. With lots of Cody comes clean to Lulu spoilers. Then at the apex of their love story. Horrible Holly will come back to town and say NO – Lulu is Cody’s sister! or something will happen so that Frank can have a bomb of a twist during November sweeps or something that will leave us all gutted like dead fish.
I don’t trust the writing in this show one bit. Unless Frank works magic and puts Cody & Sasha back into one piece – I will never trust their storytelling again.
One last thing – I do not want to see a forgiveness reunion tour between Sasha and her mother. She wasn’t there for Sasha during the worst part of her life – and did not even ask about Liam when she came back to town – In fact – first words out of her mouth “what kind of con are you running at the Q’s? I do not want to see Cody and Holly on a “let’s be friends” tour. Holly comes back I will go dark and won’t even tape the show.
I think Cody and Sasha should still be together having proven Holley lying about her birthright. I Like them as a couple. Lulu and Dante can trip the light fantastic all over again getting to know each other all over again.

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.
