General Hospital Spoilers report Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) stunned Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) by coming half-clean this week, admitting his goal to dismantle Sonny’s influence in Port Charles while sidestepping full accountability for past attacks, like the penthouse bombing that nearly killed Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson).
Sonny, perceiving Sidwell’s words as a direct threat, walked away, telling him to stay out of his path, but his steely resolve signals he won’t back down.
With Sidwell’s audacious play to buy Sonny’s piers and control the town’s underbelly, the stage is set for a high-stakes showdown. What will Sonny do next, and will Sidwell’s half-truths ignite a war that engulfs Port Charles?
Sidwell’s Bold Move Sparks Sonny’s Fury
Sidwell’s partial confession, delivered with a smug edge in their tense meeting, revealed his ambition to end Sonny’s reign but dodged specifics about his role in the bombing or other schemes.
Sonny, fresh from heart surgery and eyeing mob retirement, saw through Sidwell’s veiled threat, refusing to cede ground. Posts online highlight fan interest, with one noting, “Sonny’s not rolling over for Sidwell!”.
With his history of outmaneuvering enemies, Sonny might rally Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) or Brick (Stephen A. Smith) to dig deeper for proof of Sidwell’s involvement in the attack. Will Sonny’s defiance escalate into a mob power play, or will he play smarter to protect his family?
GH Spoilers Leak What’s Next for Sonny’s Counterattack?
Sonny’s refusal to bend suggests a calculated response. He could leverage his Five Families ties to box Sidwell out, possibly orchestrating a sting to expose his shady dealings, like the esplanade project with Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison).
Alternatively, Mayor Laura Collins (Genie Francis), wary of Sidwell’s influence, might align with Sonny, as hinted in recent episodes, to block his takeover.
If Sonny uncovers evidence — perhaps via Damien Spinelli’s (Bradford Anderson) hacking — that Sidwell set the stage for Michael’s near-death experience, as some fans speculate, it could spark a brutal retaliation. Will Sonny’s next move be a strategic chess play, or a violent strike that risks everything?
A War That Could Consume Port Charles
Sidwell’s approach, avoiding full admission of his crimes, sets a dangerous precedent. If Sonny strikes back, Sidwell’s ties to Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) undercover WSB op could complicate matters, pulling in Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).
The Corinthos family, including Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), might face fallout, which has always remained a primary drive for Sonny to stay in the business out of fear that any weakness on his part would be exploited and end up harming his loved ones.
