General Hospital Cody Bell Scales Back – Is He Exiting Port Charles Solo?

General Hospital spoilers gush the rumor mill is churning in Port Charles as news breaks that Josh Kelly, who plays Cody Bell, has shifted from contract to recurring status on the longtime hit sudser as of late June 2025, signaling fans will see less of the rugged charmer. This change, spotted in the June 27 episode’s credits, has sparked speculation about Cody’s future.

With his current arc tangled in a risky deal to seduce Ava Jerome (Maura West) for Kristina Corinthos Davis (Kate Mansi) and his budding romance with Molly Lansing Davis (Kristen Vaganos) teetering, could Cody be gearing up to leave town? If so, will he slip away solo, or will his choices drag someone else into his exit?

Cody’s Recurring Role Raises Eyebrows

Cody’s move to recurring status suggests a reduced presence, leaving fans wondering if he’s headed for the exit.

His deal with Kristina to expose Ava’s blackmail of Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has him dancing on a dangerous edge, while his flirtation with Molly shows promise but risks imploding if she keeps getting the wrong idea about him spending time with her arch enemy.

A slip-up could push Cody to bolt, especially if his ties to Mac Scorpio (John J. York) can’t anchor him. Will his scaled-back role mean a quiet fade-out, or a dramatic departure?

GH Spoilers Leak Alone or With a Companion?

Cody’s potential exit could see him leave alone, driven by a fallout with Ava or a broken heart if Molly pulls back, especially after his history of loose lips.

Alternatively, his bond with Molly might tempt her to join him if their romance deepens, but we haven’t seen that level of interest coming from Cody, despite his flirtatious banter with the young attorney.

Could Molly or another ally follow him out of town, or will Cody’s solo journey mark his end? We’ve gotta be honest; we don’t see her leaving town anytime soon, and certainly not for a guy she really only just met.

General Hospital Spoilers — Port Charles Without Cody?

Cody’s reduced role could shift dynamics, impacting friendships with people like Sasha Gilmore Corbin (Sofia Mattsson), Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), and Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins).

If Cody leaves, his secrets about Drew could still surface, shaking the Corinthos and Quartermaine clans and upending Willow Corinthos’ (Katelyn MacMullen) life entirely.

Will Cody Bell’s scaling back lead to a lonely exit from Port Chuck, or will his departure pull others into his orbit, leaving chaos in his wake? Keep checking back with us for more GH news and spoilers to see how this unfolds.
