The tension in Port Charles is reaching a breaking point as Sonny Corinthos and Laura Collins join forces to dismantle Jenz Sidwell’s blackmail operation. Despite Sonny’s tactical efforts, spoilers suggest that the cunning villain may ultimately defy the odds and survive the danger coming his way.
The Strategy to Dismantle Sidwell
Sidwell has been holding the mob boss and the mayor captive with damaging photos showing the late Professor Henry “Hank” Dalton in Laura’s trunk. To gain the upper hand, Sonny and Laura are turning to the following plan:
- Leveraging Insider Info: Acting on information provided by Britt Westbourne before she left town, the duo has identified Sidwell’s ‘butler,’ Pascal Leveque, as the key to the mystery, as he was responsible for cleaning up after Dalton’s murder.
- Enlisting Help: Sonny and Laura are currently trying to enlist Lucas Jones to assist in their mission.
- The Commitment: Although Lucas is fully committed to the cause, he faces a significant hurdle due to Pascal’s disdain for him.
Can Sidwell Be Eradicated?
While the primary objective is to permanently remove Sidwell as a threat—a goal previously emphasized by characters like Jason Morgan and Ric Lansing—his survival seems likely.
- Sidwell is described as a “despicable adversary” who masks his lack of remorse with charm and a sophisticated appearance.
- Comparisons have been drawn to the iconic villain Helena Cassadine, known for her constant resurrections, suggesting Sidwell may be equally difficult to eliminate.
- Even if Sonny utilizes resources like Brick or Pascal to orchestrate an attack or explosion, Sidwell is expected to survive any resulting injuries.
