Sonny Enters The Visitor Area, Sidwell’s Not Surprised To See Him

As the criminal enters the visitor area, he expresses that he’s not surprised to see Sonny, while the mob boss remarks on Sidwell’s prison jumpsuit, suggesting that beige isn’t really Sidwell’s color.

These light-hearted exchanges are quite intriguing, especially considering the heated rivalry that existed between Sidwell and Sonny in Port Charles. So, what prompts Sonny’s visit?

A few weeks back, Sonny made a bold choice to step away from the mob, following in Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) footsteps. He has been making the rounds, informing those close to him about his new direction.

First Came Ric,  Dante, And Justine In Sonny’s To-Tell List

Initially, it was his brother and attorney, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst), who devised a plan to assist Sonny in leaving the world of organized crime, and Sonny told his son Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) as well.

He also confided in his romantic interest, Acting District Attorney Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor), although this revelation did not alter their decision to keep their relationship under wraps.

After all, there is no statute of limitations on Sonny’s past crimes, and she could still pursue legal action against him. The last thing she desires is to jeopardize her career for this emerging romance.

Sonny Also Meets With Anna This Week, And The Auction Of Sidwell’s Properties Takes Place

Consequently, this week, General Hospital spoilers indicate that Sonny will meet with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). The two will discover shared interests, and it appears he will persist in his efforts to announce his intention to go legitimate.

However, a crucial element of this plan involves acquiring some of Sidwell’s assets to facilitate the entire process.

These assets are scheduled for auction; nonetheless, Sonny won’t be the only contender, as Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) is also interested in Sidwell’s former holdings, along with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

So, with that in mind, will Sonny visit Pentonville to inform Sidwell of his intentions?

Sidwell’s Not Likely To Help Sonny, But Sonny Might Give Him An Incentive

Given their past, it’s hard to believe that Sidwell would assist the man in his quest; after all, Sonny is the reason Sidwell is incarcerated! But what if Sonny had something to offer Sidwell in exchange-as ADA Turner mentioned during the show on Friday, August 14, Sonny possesses numerous connections on “the inside”.

How tolerable is Sidwell’s prison life at this moment? Could Sonny offer protection for Sidwell in becoming an “untouchable” figure in prison if Sidwell provides him with some insider tips on how to secure his assets in that auction?
