General Hospital has revealed another connection between Cody Bell and Serena Baldwin. As the soap continues to expand family ties in Port Charles, a shared biological connection through Dominique Stanton brings two characters closer together. Their long-awaited first meeting sets the stage for what could become a significant sibling bond on the show.

Here is a breakdown of how Cody and Serena are related on General Hospital.

On General Hospital, Cody Bell, played by Josh Kelly, is Serena Baldwin’s maternal half brother. Serena is played by Kelly Kruger on the soap. Back in 2022, Cody arrived in Port Charles and he already knew Dominique Stanton was his biological mother.

He was given up for adoption and raised by the Bell family. Cody initially believed Leopold Taub was his biological father. A DNA test later revealed Mac Scorpio was his real father. This gave him several new relatives. His Scorpio family includes stepmom Felicia and stepsister Maxie. He is also second cousin to Emma.

Serena’s biological parents are Dominique and Scott Baldwin. This makes Cody and Serena maternal half siblings. Dominique is the biological mother they share. Dominique married Scott in 1993. She later learned she had an inoperable brain tumor.

Her biggest wish was having a child with Scott Baldwin. Lucy Coe eventually became Serena’s surrogate. Sadly, Dominique died before Serena was born. Scott left town with Serena after her birth. Serena and Lucy later reconnected on the General Hospital spinoff show called Port Charles.

A few years later, Scott formally asked Lucy to adopt Serena. Lucy was overjoyed to accept. Cody’s existence remained a secret for many years. Neither Mac nor Scott knew Dominique had another child. They also did not know Mac was Cody’s biological father.

Serena also has several half siblings through Scott. They include Karen Wexler, Logan Hayes and Franco Baldwin. However, all three have died since then. This leaves Cody as Serena’s only living biological half sibling.

Serena spent many years traveling around the world. She returned to her hometown in July 2026. She and Cody finally met for the first time this week on the soap. Their first meeting was friendly. However, their future relationship remains unclear.
