CODY’S BETRAYAL THREATENS TO DESTROY EVERYTHING IN PORT CHARLES

Just when Cody Bell finally had it all — acceptance from the Scorpio family, a stable job at the Quartermaine stables, and a budding romance with Molly Lansing-Davis — he’s about to throw it all away for a quick payday. And the worst part? He’s teaming up with Kristina Corinthos-Davis to do it.

The scheme is already in motion. Cody has been flirting with Ava Jerome, returning her sunglasses at the Metro Court pool and accepting her invitations. What Ava doesn’t know is that this sudden interest isn’t genuine — it’s all part of Kristina’s plan to sabotage Ava’s relationship with Ric Lansing for money.

But here’s where things get messy. Really messy.

The Ultimate Betrayal: When Family Schemes Collide

Molly has already spotted Cody and Ava bonding over gambling at the pool. She watched from a side table while meeting with Alexis Davis, and you could practically see the wheels turning in her head. The woman who’s been developing real feelings for Cody is starting to sense something’s off.

And she should be worried.

Because Ava Jerome isn’t just any random target — she’s dating Molly’s father. That’s right, Cody is actively seducing his potential girlfriend’s dad’s girlfriend. Only in Port Charles could family trees get this tangled and toxic.

The betrayal cuts even deeper when you consider that Molly and Kristina have been on shaky ground ever since the surrogacy disaster. Now Kristina is using the man Molly’s falling for as a weapon against someone connected to their family? This isn’t just crossing a line — it’s obliterating it.

From Redemption to Ruin: Cody’s Spectacular Self-Destruction

Remember when Cody Bell first showed up in Port Charles? He was a gambling opportunist who took advantage of Britt Westbourne and lied to Mac Scorpio about being his son. Classic con artist behavior.

But then something changed. He fell hard for Sasha Corbin and literally risked his life to save her from being drugged and institutionalized against her will. When it turned out they were cousins (because of course they were — it’s a soap opera), Cody was devastated but handled it with surprising maturity.

He came clean to Mac. Got welcomed into the Scorpio family with open arms. Found purpose in his job at the stables. Started building something real with Molly.

So why throw it all away now?

Simple. Old habits die hard, and when Kristina approached him at the Metro Court pool asking “How would you like to make some money?” — Cody couldn’t resist. The con artist inside him is apparently stronger than the man he was trying to become.

Ava Jerome: The Most Dangerous Target in Port Charles

If Cody thinks he can outsmart Ava Jerome, he’s in for a world of hurt. This is a woman who has survived the mob world, multiple murder attempts, and more betrayals than most people have hot dinners. She’s the daughter of Victor Jerome. She’s gone toe-to-toe with Sonny Corinthos and lived to tell the tale.

Ava didn’t get where she is by being naive about men’s intentions. Sure, she’s currently enjoying her romance with Ric Lansing — bonding over their shared contempt for Sonny — but that doesn’t mean she’s let her guard down.

When she discovers this whole seduction is a scheme orchestrated by Kristina? There will be hell to pay. And Cody has no idea what kind of enemy he’s making. Ava doesn’t just get even — she gets ahead. Way ahead.

The Fallout: Multiple Casualties Guaranteed

Here’s what’s really tragic about this whole mess. Cody and Molly had genuine potential. Their chemistry was undeniable. She saw past his rough edges to the good man underneath. After her heartbreak with TJ Ashford, Molly was finally opening up to someone new.

But once she discovers Cody is working with her sister to destroy her father’s happiness? That trust can never be rebuilt. Never.

And the collateral damage won’t stop there. This scheme will:

• Destroy the already fragile bond between the Davis sisters
• Create massive tension between Molly and Ric
• Put Cody’s place in the Scorpio family at risk
• Potentially cost him his job at the Quartermaine stables
• Give Ava yet another reason to seek revenge

Fans on social media are already furious. One viewer tweeted that the scheme was “disgusting” and couldn’t stand the idea of Cody sleeping with Ava. Another called Kristina’s plan “stupid” and wondered when she’ll ever learn to stop meddling in everyone’s lives.

Is This Cody’s Exit Story?

Here’s an interesting tidbit that has fans speculating: Josh Kelly (who plays Cody) is reportedly off-contract as of June 20, 2025. Could this self-destructive storyline be the writers’ way of giving Cody a dramatic exit?

It would make sense. What better way to write out a character than to have him spectacularly blow up every good thing in his life? He came to Port Charles as a con artist, and despite all his growth and redemption, he’s reverting to type.

Some fans theorize Cody might actually fall for Ava, creating an even messier love triangle. Others think he’ll back out at the last minute. But current episodes suggest he’s all in on this disaster.

The Million Dollar Question

Will Cody Bell wake up and realize what he’s about to lose? He has Mac’s acceptance, Sasha as family, a fulfilling job, and most importantly — a real shot at love with Molly. Is a quick payday really worth destroying all of that?

Everyone in Port Charles should know by now that getting involved in Kristina’s schemes never ends well. Yet Cody walked right into this disaster with his eyes wide open. It’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck — you want to look away, but you can’t.

When Molly inevitably walks in on Cody and Ava in a compromising position (because this is a soap opera, so of course she will), that’ll be the end. The heartbreak on her face. The betrayal in her eyes. The realization that the man she was falling for is just another liar.

Some people really can’t help but self-destruct. And Cody Bell seems determined to prove that theory right.
