General Hospital spoilers: Sidwell and Sonny have shocking family connection?

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.

General Hospital's spoilers: Marco in grave danger thanks to Sidwell's feud with Sonny?
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Sidwell (Carlo Rota) met in the General Hospital episode that aired on June 19, we found their conversation rather interesting, and we had to ask if there was a bit of dark foreshadowing. During their discussion, the two men talked about Sidwell's pitch to buy Sonny's piers. The Dimpled Kingpin made it clear that he had no intention of selling to Sidwell. In return, Sidwell talked about how tragic a life Sonny has had, even invoking Morgan's (Bryan Craig) death. Furthermore, Sidwell encouraged Sonny to accept his offer so Sonny can spend his retired days with the Corinthos clan, safe and secure. Sonny took the words as a veiled threat. Although Sidwell tried to convince Sonny that it wasn't the case, the Corinthos patriarch wasn't buying it. Sidwell then suggested that if he planned to attack Sonny, then he would have ended things for the mob boss a while ago. As the faceoff continued, the biggest takeaway from the conversation came out. Both men agreed that keeping their children safe is of utmost importance, before Sonny again rejected Sidwell's proposal and walked away. Having said all of that, we find it interesting that so much of their conversation was about the idea of family and protecting family members. Although the following preview for the General Hospital episodes airing during the week of June 23 suggests Sidwell may soon target Sonny's children or grandchildren, we have a hunch that Sidwell will be the one left devastated by tragedy when it comes to a loved one. Enter Marco (Adrian Anchondo). We can imagine a scenario in which Marco finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time and is left fighting for his life. So far, Sidwell's previous attempts on Sonny's life ended in failure. Zeroing in on the penthouse bombing, that incident nearly killed Michael (Rory Gibson). Is it possible that Marco finds himself in a situation where he is caught in the middle of his father's next murder plot by mistake? Whether it's Marco being caught in an explosion by Sonny's warehouse, or Marco being shot by mistake in some crazy instance of him being near Sonny at an inopportune moment, we just can't rule out the possibility. Again, Marco being in danger is just a theory. However, if Sidwell and Sonny go head-to-head and an innocent bystander is caught in the crossfire, we don't think General Hospital writers would be so cruel to let a loved one of Sonny be that bystander, considering Michael literally just got back from a burn recovery unit in Germany. New episodes of General Hospital air on weekdays on ABC. If you miss an episode, you can catch up on Hulu.
