In the wake of Britt Westbourne's death on "General Hospital," Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) had the unpleasant task of informing Cody Bell about what happened, according to Soaps. The show tweeted about it, writing, "Cody hasn't learned of Britt's death yet and Felicia has the unenviable job of informing him. How will he handle the news?" Many fans were in an uproar as other characters, including Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms), Brad Cooper (Parry Shen), and Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) were told offscreen. An outraged fan replied, "Really? He gets an on screen reaction while everyone else who loved & knew her finds out off screen? He only used her to get the necklace! NOT cool!"

Several viewers expressed that they didn't care about Cody's reaction, with one writing, "Hey, #GH we don't care. Can we see Spencer, Brad and Maxie reacting instead?" and another saying, "Honestly, I am not caring at all what Cody thinks of anything!" 

On the flip side, one fan enjoyed the Felicia/Cody scene, replying, "They have good scenes together. They really do! Felicia has so much empathy! I'm glad she was the one to tell Cody." Another fan of Cody's posted, "I think Britt was the lucky one in that relationship." 

A viewer who felt Cody and Britt were a terrible couple from the beginning posed the darkly humorous question, "Why can't Cody be a victim of the Hook?"
