The friendship between Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) and Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) has become one of the most fascinating dynamics in General Hospital. On the surface,
their connection seems unlikely—Cody is a clever con artist, and Tracy is a wealthy, no-nonsense powerhouse who rarely lets her guard down. Yet, these two share a surprising bond
that has sparked plenty of intrigue in Port Charles.
GH Spoilers: Tracy’s Powerful Presence

Tracy’s return to Port Charles after an extended absence has reignited her strong influence on the Quartermaine family and beyond. Known for her sharp wit and commanding presence, Tracy can shift the energy of any room she enters. However, her close connection with Cody raises eyebrows—what could possibly link her to a “stable boy”?
Tracy’s life has been marked by significant losses in recent years, which may explain why she has formed a bond with Cody. Her potential pairing with Gregory Chase (Gregory Harrison) ended tragically with his death. She has also endured the loss of her dear friend Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton), who left town, and her husband Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary), who passed away a few years ago. Amidst this grief, Cody seems to fill a void in her life.
GH Spoilers: Cody the Charming Rascal
Cody’s charm and mischievous nature fit right into Tracy’s world, bringing a new kind of energy to her life. Josh Kelly shared his thoughts on their dynamic, admitting that he loves their relationship and hopes to see it grow. According to Kelly, Cody “definitely loves” Tracy, and the feeling seems mutual. Their connection even reminds Tracy of her late husband, Luke—a man who shared Cody’s knack for trouble and charisma.
Interestingly, Kelly also teased the possibility of Cody swindling Tracy, much like Luke had done in the past. However, he emphasized that he wouldn’t want the relationship to take that turn.
General Hospital: Could There Be Romance?
Fans have speculated about the possibility of a romantic storyline between Cody and Tracy. While Josh Kelly didn’t directly comment on this, he cheekily noted, “I’m pretty sure she’s not my cousin,” a nod to Cody’s recent discovery that Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson), his potential love interest, turned out to be a cousin.
Whether Cody and Tracy remain close friends or their bond evolves into something more, their dynamic continues to captivate audiences. Tracy’s complexity and Cody’s roguish charm create endless possibilities for their story.
