General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is sitting pretty now that Judge Eva Heran (Tess Auberjonois) gave him full custody of the kids he has with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen).
Willow was so shocked that she lost custody of Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) and Amelia Corinthos (Sequoia and Serenity Mork Macko) that she broke down in the courtroom and had to be hospitalized.
But a shocker came in the June 19 episode when it was revealed that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) paid off the judge for her decision. What exactly is going on here? Let’s break down what could be happening in PC as the summer ignites!
Sidwell Bribed Judge Heran
Why in the world did Sidwell bribe Judge Heran to make sure that Michael won? First off Sidwell may be gathering ammunition against his mob foe Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
That same day, Sidwell tried to negotiate with Sonny but was turned down. In this case we can see Sidwell making Judge Heran disappear and framing Sonny for the back door deal.
Basically, if Sonny doesn’t start cooperating with him, then Sidwell could threaten that Michael will lose his kids.
Will Sidwell Blackmail Sonny?
Think about it: if Sonny is distracted by a false bribery case, the path for Sidwell’s dominance in PC just got easier. Then again, Sidwell may plan to use Michael to convince Sonny to make a deal for the piers.
There is another shocking reason why Sidwell resorted to bribery. If he was the one behind the penthouse explosion, he could feel guilty that Michael was the unintended target. In this scenario, it may be that Sidwell felt he paid Michael back by giving him his kids.
Why Is Sidwell So Interested in the Piers?
At the end of the day, Sidwell is a complicated villain. He has shown great affection for his own son, Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo), and may truly feel awful about what happened to Sonny’s son.
That would be giving the bad man a lot of credit, but anything is possible on soaps.
Tell us GH fans, why do you think Sidwell bribed a judge to ensure that Michael got full custody of his children?
