Do Sasha and Cody have a future on General Hospital?

In 2023, it seemed like General Hospital had found a new front-burner pair with Sasha Gilmore and Cody Bell. They hit all the typical soap opera beats, with rough-around-the-edges Cody becoming Sasha's knight in shining armor, rescuing her from a crazed psychiatrist at Ferncliff.

Sasha's torture ends with Cody

For a while, all GH did was torture poor Sasha. From losing her newborn son to falling back into drugs before her husband, Brando, was killed, Sasha couldn't seem to catch a break. After Sasha wrecked a windshield during a emotional breakdown, the courts placed her under a guardianship with Sasha's mother-in-law, Gladys, running her financial life.

Just when Sasha looked as if she was finally getting her life back together and would be released from her guardianship, Gladys paid a crooked psychiatrist to fiddle around with Sasha's medications and make her look crazy. Sasha even tried to kill Cody, but Cody knew she wasn't in her right mind. After Sasha was remanded to Ferncliff, Cody had himself committed so he could rescue her from the evil Dr. Montague.

A slow General Hospital burn

After the Gladys and Dr. Montague saga was over, Sasha contemplated leaving town to start life anew. Cody was understandably crushed until Sasha decided to stay. Sasha and Cody admitted they had developed feelings for one another, but Sasha wasn't ready for another romantic relationship while she was still mourning Brando.

Sasha and Cody were soon relegated to the back burner as they played a game of "Will they or won't they?" For months, Sasha and Cody avoided their feelings and tiptoed around one another. Brook Lynn and Chase did the same thing after their first initial kisses, and some fans grew bored waiting for something to happen. Even when they both found themselves working on the Quartermaine estate, Sasha and Cody continued to be coy with one another.

It's now been nearly a year since Cody's daring rescue at Ferncliff. Sasha and Cody finally slept together and declared they were boyfriend and girlfriend in September of 2024, when the Ferncliff story ended in October of 2023.

Now, Sasha and Cody are happy as can be, but that won't do for a soap opera pair. As Tracy recently pointed out to Sasha, she can't live her life just to make Cody happy. Is there something more out there for Sasha that will take her away from Cody? Might her newfound happiness be fleeting? If GH doesn't give this couple true conflict soon, love in the afternoon might not last long.
