General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) blackmail reaction is coming up. Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) bribed judge leverage may seal this villain’s fate, so let’s discuss all the dangerous drama that’s about to erupt.

After Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) witnessed Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) slapping Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) at GH, he saw for himself how much Willow is unraveling.

That’s why Marco went running to Sidwell with an urgent warning.

Marco made it clear that if Sidwell wanted to move forward with his Sonny blackmail plans, he needed to do it before it was too late.

If Willow goes too far off the rails, there may be no chance of any judge giving her the kids back.

Sidwell could lose his Sonny leverage if Michael’s custody situation becomes permanent.

Sidwell values Marco’s advice and may decide he’s right about pulling the trigger on this.

Although Sidwell was waiting on the perfect moment to strike, Marco just gave him some incentive to act fast.

Of course, Sidwell’s perfect moment may be rapidly approaching anyway.

Perhaps it’ll come after Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) decks Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) at the Metro Court and shows signs that he’s unraveling a bit, too!

Whatever the case, it’ll be interesting to see how Sidwell drops this shocker on Sonny.

Maybe Sidwell will summon Sonny for a meeting somewhere and promise it’ll be worth his time.

Sonny may balk initially, but Sidwell could offer up some cryptic comments and hint about Michael’s full-time daddy status riding on Sonny’s next move.

Once Sonny caves in and meets with Sidwell, he may get updates on Sidwell’s setup and become enraged.

Sidwell may point to the judge bribery and talk about how Sonny’s going to be suspect number one if that shady wired money news leaks,

Michael could lose custody of Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) and Amelia Corinthos (Sequoia and Serenity Mork Macko), which could ruin his relationship with Sonny if he believes his dad bribed the judge and got caught.

That’s the narrative Sidwell will sell to Sonny as he blackmails him to fall in line.

Sonny isn’t the kind of guy who likes to take orders from a guy like Sidwell, but he may have no choice – at least for a while.

However, Sonny might also warn that he’s never going to forget this.

It’s easy to imagine Sonny delivering a threat of his own and insisting that someday Sidwell’s going to regret backing him into this corner.

Sidwell may be sealing his own grim fate by sinking this low against Sonny.

It could cross a dangerous line and set the stage for Sidwell’s eventual demise at Sonny’s hands – even if it doesn’t happen until way down the road.

General Hospital spoilers say Sonny won’t let Sidwell get away with his actions indefinitely, so stay tuned for updates on all the stunning news ahead.
