General Hospital spoilers spill the fingers are pointing at Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) as the mastermind of the agenda rolling out in Port Charles and back in Croatia!
Rumors swirl that Sidwell used his henchman Pascal (Marc Forget) to deliver a poisonous compound, triggering Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) heart attack and coma to silence her about Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Natalia Ramirez’s (Eva LaRue) sketchy financial scheme.
Sidwell’s endgame? Hijacking Deception Cosmetics for shady dealings, possibly laundering money or smuggling, with Pascal and Professor Henry ‘Hank’ Dalton (Daniel Goddard) in the mix — and maybe more shadowy figures lurking.
But who’s truly leading this operation? Sidwell’s bold moves suggest he’s in charge, yet clues like Colette Moreau’s (Mercedes Lopez Renard) visit to Wyndemere, reiterating Pascal was demanding an update, but Sidwell snapped back that he doesn’t bow to commands from Pascal.
A hint at a complex hierarchy? Is Sidwell the boss, or is someone pulling his strings?
Sidwell’s Deadly Scheme is Exposed
Sidwell’s plot against Maxie screams calculation — using Pascal to slip her the toxin during a Home & Heart demo ensures she won’t spill on Sonny and Natalia’s ties to Deception’s troubles.
With Maxie now comatose, Sidwell eyes controlling interest in the company, perhaps for illicit ops like product tampering or covert shipments. Pascal’s role as the delivery man fits his Croatia antics, holding Josslyn ‘Joss’ Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Vaughn (Bryce Durfee) hostage at the Five Poppies Hotel.
But Dalton’s lab work raises questions. Is he crafting these compounds for Sidwell, or is the chain of command murkier? Sidwell’s refusal to kowtow to Pascal suggests he’s not an underling, but his reliance on associates implies he might not be the top dog either.
Pascal is a Pawn or a Partner
Pascal’s demands via Colette at Wyndemere — seeking updates on Sidwell’s progress — paint him as a key player, yet Sidwell’s defiant response shows tension in their alliance.
Is Pascal an equal partner in the Deception takeover, or a mid-level operative enforcing a higher power’s agenda? His Five Poppies stronghold, tied to WSB intrigue and Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) captivity, hints at broader networks.
If Dalton is involved in the poison’s creation, he could be the scientific brains, but who coordinates it all? Speculation points to an unseen boss, perhaps a Cassadine or WSB rogue, using Sidwell and Pascal as fronts to avoid detection.
The Leader of the Pack
With Maxie fighting for her life, the race to unmask the ringleader may intensify once Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) figure out poisoning did play a role in her condition
. If Sidwell is the head, his Deception grab could fund larger crimes, but Pascal’s autonomy suggests a partnership where power shifts. Dalton’s low profile makes him a dark horse — maybe he’s the puppet master, directing from the shadows.
Or is there someone else, like a mystery investor or WSB insider, calling shots? Clues like Colette’s errands point to fractured loyalty, where egos clash.
As Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Anna close in, the truth could topple this syndicate.
Will Sidwell crack under pressure, exposing the real leader? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to find out.
