Prepared for Showdown: Sonny vs Sidwell on General Hospital
In the bustling city of Port Charles, a power struggle is brewing between two influential figures: the notorious mob boss Sonny Corinthos and the enigmatic criminal tycoon, Sidwell.
Sidwell, known for his international reach and deep pockets, has been attempting to gain support from the city's richest and most powerful individuals. His charm offensive, which includes underwriting events like the Nurses Ball and bribing judges, has been met with some success. However, many movers and shakers in Port Charles know and trust Sonny, and their loyalty may not shift easily.
The conflict between these two powerhouses is personal for Sonny, as Sidwell has targeted his family multiple times. Most recently, Sonny and Jason suspect Sidwell was behind the penthouse bombing that nearly claimed the life of Michael Corinthos. Additionally, Sonny suspects Sidwell was behind the attack on Charlie's Pub, which could lead to a potential revenge plot against Marco, who has joined Sidwell's vendetta against Sonny.
Sidwell's desire to acquire the piers currently owned by Sonny adds another layer to this tense standoff. The criminal mastermind is supplying Deception with zincite, aiming to become indispensable in Port Charles. However, Sonny aims to maintain his dominance in the city, regardless of the voting outcome for the piers.
The conflict is expected to be a tough fight, but Sonny, despite his weakened heart condition, has shown a resurgence of his old-school violence. Sidwell, on the other hand, may underestimate Sonny's wit and determination, which could lead to his downfall.
Marco Rios, a character in General Hospital, is caught in the middle of this conflict. Once distant from his father, Marco now believes Sonny is responsible for his mother's death and has aligned himself with Sidwell. Marco's involvement in the conflict could put him in danger.
Catch the latest developments in this high-stakes power struggle on new episodes of "Beyond the Gates," airing weekdays on CBS, and streaming the day after on Paramount Plus.
