The chaotic energy on General Hospital is high right now. Nathan is really Cassius Faison. Rocco shot Cullum. Cullum killed Marco. And now Sidwell is about to go scorched earth to bring Sonny down. Spoilers for Thursday, April 2, reveal that Sonny makes a bold suggestion to Laura that he hopes will rattle Sidwell. Meanwhile, Lulu is discouraged. And Lucas is taken aback.

Key Takeaways

  • Sonny makes a bold move when he turns to Laura.
  • Lulu hits a discouraging roadblock.
  • Lucas is left shaken as the fallout from Marco’s death deepens.

Sonny Enlists Laura’s Help

Sonny (Maurice Benard, who hints at Sonny’s future) knows that Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is gunning for him. So even without Jason (Steve Burton), he is shoring up and preparing to make his own moves. This includes making a bold suggestion to Laura (Genie Francis).

The only way Sidwell could leverage Sonny and Mayor Collins was by making it look like they murdered Dalton (Daniel Goddard) and disposed of his body. Ever since, he has squeezed Sonny’s waterfront property out of him. And he has used Laura’s esteemed position to get whatever he wants.

What will Sonny propose, and will Laura agree to his plan?

Ric, Elizabeth, and Dante: Surprises and Reassurance

Ric (Rick Hearst) is in a good place right now. He has a strong relationship with his daughter. He and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) are seeing each other. And he and Sonny are working side by side, building a solid foundation as brothers. On Thursday, the formidable attorney offers up reassurance. Is this in a personal capacity or professional?

Meanwhile, Ric has been spending time with Elizabeth lately. The two have gone out on a couple of dates. It’s all very much a slow-burn type of situation. At the same time, Elizabeth has been running into Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) more and more. Or they end up seeking each other out. The weekly teasers suggest that that’s about to happen again when Elizabeth’s news surprises Dante.

In Other Port Charles News

So Sidwell knows that Nathan (Ryan Paevey) really isn’t Nathan. He’s actually Faison’s fourth kid, Cassius. And now, Cassius is deeply embedded in the lives of Port Charles’s residents. He’s acting as James’s (Gary James Fuller) dad. He’s dating Lulu (Alexa Havins). And he has a cushy gig with the PCPD, and nobody’s the wiser. Look for “Nathan” to receive new intel on Thursday.

Speaking of Lulu, she’s keeping a huge secret from Dante. Their son is the one who shot Cullum (Andrew Hawkes). And as a result, she’s put on her reporter hat to dig into Cullum, because she knows she needs to protect her son at any cost. But she’s about to find herself discouraged. What roadblock does she run into?

Finally, Lucas (Van Hansis) is grieving for Marco (Adrian Anchondo). And for some reason, he’s still safe. That fact might have to do with Sidwell knowing that Lucas was the only other person in this world who loved his son. But Lucas is in a precarious position. Sidwell knows that Marco stole Britt’s meds. And so he must know that his son did it for Lucas.

Will Sidwell’s goodwill towards Lucas run out? Why is he about to be taken aback?
