Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) really hit his mark and Sonny and Laura are going to have to pay the price for their actions, at least for the time being.
Sidwell has photographic evidence of them hovering over Professor Henry ‘Hank’ Dalton’s (Daniel Goddard) dead body in Laura’s trunk on the night of the mayoral election just hours after she had publicly gone off on the college professor and warned he would be getting what’s coming to him.
Having them both right where he wants them, Sidwell has secured the piers from Sonny, and he’s already calling the shots Mayor Collins. But few are expecting what might come next.
Big Business
Sonny has been a stakeholder of specific piers in Port Charles for years. While it’s never truly been outlined what exactly his line of work deals in, many have speculated.
Now, Sonny has been forced to make other arrangements to keep his own business afloat while handing over his piers in a suspicious sale to Sidwell after fighting him on it for months.

The optics are not good, but now Sidwell will also be able to run whatever kind of illegal operations he wants through those piers.
GH Spoilers Leak Laura Could Crumble
Meanwhile, Laura has little control over her own office. She knows that when Sidwell says “jump,” she’ll have to ask, “how high?” Her image and reputation are at stake as she begins to take on the burden of carrying out his orders while trying to not look completely insane to her constituents.
She doesn’t want to look like a traitor either, or like she condones Sidwell’s behavior and practices after months of publicly speaking against him. So far, she’s not coping well with her involvement in the disposal of Dalton’s body, and Sidwell’s overlording isn’t likely to help.
Is Sidwell a Placeholder?

As much as we’ve been warned since he first came to town that Sidwell is a threat, I continue to think he’s just a placeholder. Something tells me he’s keeping the power seat warm for the person who is really in control.
How soon they’ll come into focus might hinge on Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) kidnapping, or Sonny’s management of Sidwell’s threats and power position.
Either way, I’m guessing someone like Cesar Faison (Anders Hove), Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers), or Heather Webber (Alley Mills) are lurking behind him and using him as a decoy to destroy the good people of Port Charles. Any guesses?
