General Hospital spoilers: Sidwell and Sonny have shocking family connection?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. For months now on General Hospital, we've joined many viewers in trying to unpack all of the mysteries surrounding Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). Why is Sidwell so interested in Port Charles? Why did he move into the Cassadines' Wyndemere Castle? What's his fascination with Helena's (Constance Towers) dagger and making sure Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has it? We've also had to question why Sidwell wants Sonny's (Maurice Benard) territory so badly. Sidwell is an international criminal with money to burn, yet he wants to put down roots in Port Charles. He's so intent on taking over Sonny's role in town that he hired someone to blow the Dimpled Kingpin up, but Michael was caught in the explosion instead. Then, when that didn't work, Sidwell tried to pay Sonny off and hired someone to attempt to kill Sonny again as he lay in a hospital bed recovering from heart surgery. Knowing all of this, we had to consider that Sidwell has a deeper connection to Port Charles than anyone realizes. At first, we considered that Sidwell was a Cassadine. After all, he bought the old family home and clearly knows about the meaning behind Helena's dagger. We haven't ruled out this possibility, but allow us to raise another. Is there a chance Sidwell is related to Sonny? Right off the bat, many fans may want to shoot down this theory, as Sidwell has tried to kill Sonny. However, we'll point out that a long-lost relative appearing with a vendetta against a family member is hardly an anomaly in the soap world. Ric (Rick Hearst) arrived in Port Charles hating Sonny, and frankly, still does. Over on The Young and the Restless, Jordan (Colleen Zenk) tried to kill her nephew Cole (J. Eddie Peck), and on The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) loathes his brother Nick (Jack Wagner). So, is there a world where Sonny is unknowingly the brother of Sidwell, and Sidwell knows this, but has a grudge against the Corinthos patriarch? Sure, it is. Sonny's father Mike had an eventful past, and it's not hard to imagine that he met a woman years ago, and she gave birth to their son, Sidwell, without Mike ever knowing. Or heck, perhaps Mike did know and didn't acknowledge Sidwell, and that's fueled Sidwell's Sonny vendetta. Sidwell being Sonny's brother may also explain why Sidwell interfered in Michael's (Rory Gibson) custody case against Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), ensuring Michael got full custody of the children. Although Sidwell may have interfered to pay some repentance to Michael, feeling bad that he got caught in the explosion meant for his father, perhaps there's a chance Sidwell was also trying to help his nephew. Sidwell could be carrying a grudge against Sonny without loathing his nephews and nieces. For now, this Sonny and Sidwell family tie theory is just that, a theory. We assume that in the coming weeks, Sidwell's true intentions and connections will be revealed, adding context to all of his curious schemes. New episodes of General Hospital air on weekdays on ABC. If you miss an episode, you can catch up on Hulu.

On today's General Hospital recap: Lucky tells Liz that Kristina caused the accident by cutting the brake line on Ric's car. Liz demands answers and Lucky admits he's known since the night it happened and has been covering for Kristina. Lucky says he found Kristina at the crash site and knew she was responsible. Liz asks why he didn't turn her into the police. Lucky says he had a lapse in judgement and didn't turn Kristina in because neither Liz nor Ric died. He doesn't think it benefits anyone to send Kristina to prison, but Liz says it might keep Ava alive. Lucky says this was a wake-up call for Kristina, but Liz says it's not on her to cover for Kristina. Lucky says he's an accessory for helping cover it up and will be charged as well. He says he protected Kristina because Sam helped Lulu and felt a debt to the family, so Liz says she'll keep the secret.

General Hospital spoilers: Alexis reminds Ava she's a Cassadine?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Over the years, General Hospital's Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has proven time and time again that she's one of the very few Cassadines who isn't criminally insane, she actually attempts to be a model citizen of Port Charles. Sure, Alexis has had her times when she's spiraled out of control due to her struggles with sobriety, and she's not unfamiliar with a jail cell thanks to her love for her family, but her overarching character has been one to strive to do the right thing. Again, there are times when Alexis has been pushed to her limits to dabble in criminality. Back in the late 90s, she worked with Luke (Anthony Geary) in an attempt to kill Helena (Constance Towers), who was the true definition of an evil stepmother, as Helena killed Alexis' mother and tormented Alexis. Alexis also attempted to kill Luís Alcazar (Ted King), as he was responsible for the death of her sister, Kristina (Jaime Ray Newman). And who can forget that Alexis ran over her daughter's abusive boyfriend, Kiefer (Christian Alexander). Although the latter was an accident, she certainly didn't attempt to stop and help him after she hit him with her car. Knowing this history, Ava (Maura West) is taking a huge gamble blackmailing Alexis over Kristina (Kate Mansi). Yes, Kristina is responsible for the car crash that nearly killed Ric (Rick Hearst) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and should face some repercussions for her actions. However, Ava using this as an opportunity to get a huge payday by trying to pressure Alexis into embezzling money from the Cassadine Estate is just wrong and could backfire in a major way. Ric even warned Ava about underestimating his ex-wife. As viewers know, Alexis is in the process of sending Kristina off to a mental wellness facility to get some help. Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) advised her that this is likely the best shot she has at getting ahead of this situation and keeping Kristina out of prison. If Kristina is sent off to get help, that automatically erases a bit of Ava's leverage. We should also point out that Ava is holding the vehicle in a secret location thanks to her mechanic acquaintance. With the car being evidence, if Ava were to follow through with her threat and put the police on Kristina's trail, a defense attorney could probably get the car tossed as evidence in case of a trial, arguing the chain of custody is broken, which would be a huge blow for Ava. Although she has the video of Kristina in her garage around the vehicle the night of the car crash, is that video enough? Additionally, despite Kristina confessing about what she did to Lucky (Jonathan Jackson), we doubt he'll volunteer that info to Ava, no matter how much he pushes Kristina to come clean. With all that being said, there's also a chance that Alexis taps into her dark Cassadine roots and devises a plan to deal with Ava. We can imagine a wild theory that sees Alexis actually frame Ava for the attempted murder of Ric and Elizabeth. Ava already has the vehicle and the brakes were cut in the garage of her apartment. The video she has of Kristina doesn't necessarily prove that the young Corinthos cut them. Then, with the help of Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Brick (Stephen A. Smith), Alexis could establish a trail to make it appear as if Ava took out a series of life insurance policies on Ric to establish a motive for murder. Ava has been experiencing a cash flow problem recently and has been cozying up to Ric, so this scheme could work. To be clear, as of now, we have no way of being sure of how Alexis will deal with her Ava problem. But something tells us, Ava won't get what she's hoping for. New episodes of General Hospital air on weekdays on ABC. If you miss an episode, you can catch up on Hulu.
