Sidwell already has Laura and Sonny under his thumb, and after the January 2, 2026 episode of General Hospital, he may have snagged someone else while threatening another. <\/p>\n

Key Takeaways <\/p>\n

Sidwell realized he wants Valentin as an ally. <\/p>\n

Sidwell subtly threatened Ace again.<\/p>\n

Could having Valentin on his side strengthen Sidwell\u2019s team? <\/p>\n

Is Valentin Next to Join Sidwell\u2019s Reign of Terror? <\/p>\n

Sidwell (Carlo Rota) has lost and gained several allies since he arrived in Port Charles. He lost Lucky (Jonathan Jackson), but gained Marco (Adrian Anchondo, who recently announced his relationship with Days of our Lives\u2019 Colton Little<\/a>). He lost Dalton (Daniel Goddard), but kept Britt (Kelly Thiebaud). Now, he\u2019s gained Laura (Genie Francis) and Sonny (Maurice Benard), and is he about to recruit Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)?<\/p>\n

No one besides Carly (Laura Wright) and Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) know Valentin\u2019s whereabouts, and they expect to keep it that way. But with powerful people like Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ezra (Daniel Cosgrove) on his side, it seems Sidwell has realized what recruiting Valentin could do for his operation \u2014 aka Faison\u2019s (Anders Hove) final project. <\/p>\n

When he and Marco ran into Charlotte and Ace outside of Bobbie\u2019s, he gave the teenager a warning that sounded much more like a threat. After asking her to give the mayor his best, he suggested she keep an eye on Ace, because \u201cturn away for a second and boom. They\u2019re gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this isn\u2019t the first time Sidwell has threatened Ace. When he informed Laura that she now works for him, he made a remark about Ace being Laura\u2019s price. And with Valentin possibly joining forces with him, getting his hands on the youngest Cassadine may be easier than expected.<\/p>\n

General Hospital spoilers for January 5<\/a> tease that Laura will stand her ground, probably because Charlotte will tell her grandmother about her run-in with Sidwell. While she\u2019ll let Sidwell control her, one thing about Laura is that she won\u2019t let anyone threaten her family.<\/p>\n
