Something unexpected is happening on General Hospital—and fans are all in. The slow-burn connection between Molly Lansing-Davis and Cody Bell has sparked a wave of excitement across social media, with viewers calling the unlikely duo the fresh energy daytime TV has been missing. But despite the chemistry, it seems their potential romance is facing some serious roadblocks.

For longtime fans of GH, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) has always been the picture of discipline: a bright, ambitious legal mind who’s stuck to the straight-and-narrow path since she was a teen. Her relationship with TJ (Tajh Bellow) was steady and safe, a familiar pairing that lasted for years. But after life threw some emotional curveballs their way, it’s clear that Molly may be in need of something… different.

Enter Cody Bell (Josh Kelly)—the charming, unpredictable con artist with a hidden heart. A man who seems to live by instinct rather than rules, Cody is everything Molly isn’t. And maybe that’s exactly the point.

Opposites That Just Might Attract

There’s something refreshing about Molly and Cody’s dynamic. They’re not your typical soap couple bursting with steamy tension and dramatic declarations. Instead, they offer a more grounded kind of chemistry—a slow build, full of awkward smiles, subtle glances, and that undeniable spark of two people figuring each other out.

It’s not explosive. It’s not obvious. But it’s real.

“Molly needs to loosen up. Cody needs to grow up,” one fan wrote online. “They balance each other out, and it’s fun to watch.”

Another fan commented, “They remind me of old-school soap couples where the romance took time, and that made it even better. I’d love to see that again.”

And while it may have started as a passing interaction, viewers are now clamoring for more screen time—and more story—for this unexpected duo.

Kristina: Sister or Saboteur?

But of course, this is General Hospital, and no budding romance goes unchallenged. The biggest obstacle standing in the way? Molly’s sister, Kristina Corinthos-Davis (played by Kate Mansi).

While Kristina has her own complex storyline unfolding—especially with the surrogacy arrangement and emotional entanglements—many fans feel her involvement is starting to blur the line between concerned sibling and romantic meddler.

“She’s always inserting herself in Molly’s decisions,” one viewer posted. “Let Molly figure things out for herself—especially when it comes to Cody.”

Whether it’s intentional or not, Kristina’s influence seems to be creating emotional distance and confusion—preventing Molly from fully exploring the connection she clearly shares with Cody.

Social Media Is Rooting for Them

From fan forums to X (formerly Twitter), viewers aren’t holding back their thoughts.

“Cody and Molly really have the makings of a great romantic comedy couple that’s been missing on daytime.”

“They’re so awkward and cute together—just like a real crush.”

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m enjoying Cody and Molly now.”

The enthusiasm is real, and fans are hungry for a slow-burn love story that doesn’t rely on scandal or shock value. In a soap world often filled with chaos and betrayal, Cody and Molly offer something lighter—something with heart.

Will GH Give This Couple a Chance?

The big question now is: will the writers lean into what the audience clearly wants? Or will this be another missed opportunity, buried under other ongoing storylines and tangled family drama?

If there’s anything soap history has shown, it’s that the most unlikely pairings often become the most iconic—when given the time and space to develop.

Molly and Cody may not have started with fireworks, but their connection is gaining heat, slowly and surely. Whether they get their chance remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: General Hospital fans are ready to ship them all the way.
