MOLLY LANSING ALMOST KISSED CODY AND NOW THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS ABOUT TO GET VERY COMPLICATED
TL;DR: Molly Lansing just had the most emotionally charged moment of her life with Cody Bell, and it almost ended with a KISS. Cody saved Ric‘s life after finding him tied up in Alexis‘s wine cellar (long story). Molly was so grateful and vulnerable that she leaned in to kiss Cody—and then Liz walked in and ruined everything. Now Molly‘s caught between relief that her dad’s alive and confusion about these very complicated feelings for Cody.
What Just Happened at That Hospital?
Cody and his dog Outback literally saved Ric Lansing‘s life. Ric was tied up in Alexis‘s cellar (because Alexis, Ava, and Kristina kidnapped him but that’s a whole other mess), and Cody found him and brought him to the hospital.
Molly was SO relieved and grateful that her dad’s alive. She told Cody she can’t imagine losing anyone else she cares about. Then she said she needs to finish telling him something. And she LEANED IN TO KISS HIM.
The moment was intense. Emotional. Charged with all these feelings Molly‘s been carrying. And then Liz Webberwalked in at the absolute WORST timing possible and interrupted everything.
Now Molly‘s probably mortified. Cody‘s confused. And we’re all wondering what would have happened if Liz hadn’t shown up!
Why This Is So Complicated
Molly and TJ Ashford broke up almost a year ago after losing their baby. The breakup was devastating and they both needed space to heal. So technically Molly‘s single and can kiss whoever she wants.
But Cody? Cody‘s been there for Molly during some of her darkest moments. He’s been a friend, a support system, someone she can talk to. And somewhere along the way, friendship started feeling like SOMETHING MORE.
The problem is the TIMING. Molly just almost lost her dad. She’s emotionally vulnerable. Her entire family is imploding because of this kidnapping situation. Is she falling for Cody because she actually has feelings, or is this just trauma response and gratitude?
And what about Cody? Does he have feelings for Molly or does he see her as just a friend? Was he going to let that kiss happen or pull away?
What Happens When Feelings Get Messy?
Molly‘s probably going to be MORTIFIED that she almost kissed Cody at the hospital. She’ll probably try to backtrack and claim it was just emotion and gratitude. “Sorry, I was just overwhelmed, I didn’t mean anything by it!”
But you can’t unring that bell. Cody KNOWS Molly tried to kiss him. He knows there’s something between them, even if Molly tries to deny it. The awkwardness is going to be INTENSE.
Molly might try to avoid Cody for a while to process her feelings. But they’re connected through the whole Rickidnapping mess now, so avoiding each other isn’t really an option. They’re going to have to TALK about what almost happened.
Wild Speculation: Where Does This Go?
They actually kiss next time. What if the almost-kiss was just the preview? What if Molly and Cody actually give in to their feelings and kiss for real? That would change EVERYTHING about their relationship.
Molly pulls back completely. What if Molly decides this is too messy and she needs space? What if she tells Codythey should just be friends and nothing more? Cody would have to respect that, but it would be heartbreaking.
TJ finds out and gets complicated. What if TJ learns that Molly almost kissed Cody? Even though they’re broken up, that’s going to HURT. And what if it makes TJ realize he still has feelings for Molly?
The kidnapping secret ruins everything. Cody knows Alexis, Ava, and Kristina kidnapped Ric. What if that secret comes between Cody and Molly Lansing? What if he has to choose between protecting Molly‘s family and doing the right thing?
Molly realizes she’s not ready for this. What if Molly figures out she’s still healing from losing the baby and breaking up with TJ? What if she’s not emotionally ready for a new relationship, especially one this complicated?
The Bottom Line: Feelings Are MESSY
Molly Lansing almost kissed Cody Bell at the hospital after he saved her dad’s life. The moment was interrupted, but you can’t pretend it didn’t happen. Those feelings exist now, whether Molly wants to deal with them or not.
Molly‘s probably going to panic and try to backtrack. Cody‘s going to be confused about what this means for their friendship. And eventually they’re going to have to have an AWKWARD conversation about what almost happened and what happens next.
Port Charles relationships are never simple. And this one’s shaping up to be extra complicated.
