General Hospital: Could Sidwell & Drew’s Scheme Put Kids in Peril?
General Hospital Spoilers: Drew’s Plan to Take Down Michael
So, we’ve got Drew ready to take down Michael to get Willow Tait‘s (Katelyn MacMullen) kids away from him. And at the same time, Sidwell’s determined to make Sonny pay for abducting Marco and keeping him away from his mom Natalia Rogers-Ramirez’s (Eva LaRue) memorial service and threatening him. So Sidwell and Drew want Michael and Sonny to pay. And of course they’re willing to go to extremes.
This week, Drew went to Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) to offer one last chance to save her grandkids by reasoning with Michael to let Willow see her kids. Drew was appealing to Carly. And he made it clear what would happen if she wouldn’t see reason. So, he was playing nice. But it was kind of like an iron fist and a velvet glove thing. So Drew threatened and said things will get ugly if Michael doesn’t come to the table. And of course Carly refused to get into it.
Once she rejected Drew’s appeal to play nice, he went and promised Willow he had a plan to get the kids back. And she was excited but still sad and told Drew she loves him because you know she’s brainwashed. I don’t know. But she also didn’t want to hear, you know, details and stuff because Willow doesn’t want to get her hopes up. And honestly, even if Drew told her what he was planning to do, I think she might be okay with his dirty plan against Michael.
Portia’s Dilemma: Blackmail and Rigged Blood Tests in General Hospital
So, Drew went to Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) and told her he wants her to alter lab test and reports to make it look like Michael got addicted to opioids while recovering from his injuries from the bombing at Sonny’s penthouse. And Drew said it needs to be good enough to hold up in court. When Portia realized Drew wants to take Michael’s kids away, well, she said she wouldn’t do it. But Drew said, you know, do what I say or you’re going to lose your family and he threatened her career. The usual threats.
And Portia flipped out, smashed her medical degree. She was screaming in frustration. So, she may have no choice but to rig these blood tests against Michael. But if Portia’s lucky, maybe she’ll get out of it. We’ll see because things are going to start shifting and Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) still has some plans at play. But also, Portia just may decide that she’s tired of it and she’ll let the chips fall where they may and face the consequences. But I think in the end she’ll cave to the blackmail unless Curtis can find a way to save her.
Sidwell and Drew’s Alliance: Targeting Sonny and Michael on General Hospital
So, if they either ignore him or come up with another plan, Drew may need an alternate way to prove that Michael is unfit and get those kids back to Willow, which is his goal. And in addition to using Portia, I wonder if Drew might conspire with Sidwell for an plan B because they have mutual interest. Sidwell and Drew are already allies against Sonny. They both want him off the docks and they could use his downfall to take down Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) and they want to put sneaky Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) in as mayor, which would leave them with all this power. Sonny with a lot less power, unable to run his mob activities off the peers, which means Michael may lose influence, too.
As you saw this week, Sonny kidnapped Marco Rios (Adrian Anchando) and used him against Sidwell on the day of Natalia’s memorial. And already Marco and Sidwell think that Sonny had something to do with her death. And of course, Marco’s devastated because he missed his mom’s funeral. Sidwell is furious about the kidnapping, especially since Marco saved Kristina Corinthos-Davis’s (Kate Mansi) life from the Charlie’s Pub fire.
General Hospital: Mob Messiness
Now, Sidwell told Sonny he heard Selina Wu (Lydia Look) (Lydia Look) set the fire. But Sonny saw through the frame job. And it’s not like Sidwell can say, “Look, your daughter wasn’t supposed to be there when I burned it down, so don’t target my son.” I mean, Sidwell is 100% guilty of setting this up.
He just didn’t mean for Kristina to get involved. So, Sonny’s not going to let Marco go until Sidwell does what he wants. And I just don’t think Marco’s dad will do what he wants. Plus, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) threatened that he would involve the cops and tattle on Sonny kidnapping his boyfriend. So, it’s messy.
