In the August 21 episode of General Hospital, Sonny paid Sidwell a visit in prison to push his buttons and rub it in. Sidwell was truly entertained by Sonny and even issued a little reminder to his enemy.
Key Takeaways
- Sonny goaded Sidwell about how his situation benefited him.
- Sidwell made it clear Sonny shouldn’t count him out.
- These two enemies won’t let prison get in the way of their rivalry.
Sonny Has Fun at Sidwell’s Expense
The last person Sidwell (Carlo Rotta) expected to see in the Pentonville visitors’ room was Sonny (Maurice Benard). Nonetheless, that’s what happened as the two men enjoyed taunting each other.
Sonny had a reason for the visit, and it wasn’t just to mock Sidwell in his beige prison outfit. He relished sharing with Sidwell that thanks to his situation, Sonny found a way to go legit, and Sidwell’s assets played a big part in his getting out of the mob.
Sidwell played Sonny’s game as the enemies volleyed insults back and forth. Things took a bit of a turn as family was brought into the mix, aka Marco’s (Adrian Anchondo) death and the bombing of Sonny’s apartment that left Michael (then Chad Duell) severely burned.
Down But Down But Not Out
Once the family issue was resolved, Sidwell revealed he didn’t believe Sonny would land on the straight and narrow. Sonny taunted him about being locked up and reminded him that having a bad attitude in prison isn’t a good look.
After Sonny confirmed he doesn’t have an “accident” planned for Sidwell, the latter issued his own warning. Sidwell expressed that this war between them wasn’t over.
Sonny walked away as he gloated about having won this round with his enemy.
Sidwell and Sonny Won’t Let Prison Stop Them
It’s not surprising that Sonny and Sidwell played a little game of prison cat and mouse. Did anyone really think that prison was going to be what took Sidwell out?
Sidwell played it cool, simply behaving as he had with Sonny in the past but without the blackmail this time around. Sonny has the upper hand, and gaining Sidwell’s assets will only give him more.
GH has doubled down on the rivalry between Sidwell and Sonny, which means the next chapter should be interesting. Sidwell likely has plans for his prison stint since he took the plea deal rather than go to trial.
What that is, or his next steps, remain to be seen. But one thing is for sure. Sonny revealing he plans to go legit just gave Sidwell more ammunition than Sonny realizes. Sidwell shouldn’t be ignored as a threat, especially in prison, when he has the time to think of nothing else but revenge on his enemies.
