When he summoned her to Wyndemere and presented Helena Cassadine’s (Constance Towers) old dagger, his intentions were clear.
Alexis, recalling the tragic history of the weapon—used in her mother’s murder—held it without hesitation, leaving her fingerprints
behind. This played directly into Sidwell’s plan. After Alexis departed, Sidwell carefully retrieved the dagger, ensuring that his own
fingerprints remained absent.
This calculated move suggests the early stages of a setup, prompting key questions. Why is Sidwell orchestrating this scheme against Alexis? What crime is he planning, and who will become the target?
One possibility is that Sidwell harbors a past grievance against Alexis or someone close to her. Even if Alexis has no recollection of wronging him, GH writers may introduce a new backstory linking them. Additionally, Alexis’ Cassadine lineage alone might be sufficient motive if Sidwell has unresolved issues with the family.
Another potential target could be Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Despite Sidwell’s claims that he isn’t pursuing Sonny, his actions suggest otherwise. Sidwell has been actively undermining Sonny’s control over waterfront properties and even monitored his cardiology visit in Los Angeles. Furthermore, Sonny’s involvement with Natalia Ramirez (Eva LaRue) could be a factor, making him a likely victim of Sidwell’s plot.
However, recent story hints suggest Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) may be at risk. Although Sidwell has aligned himself with Drew, their partnership could turn sour. If conflict arises, Sidwell may stage an incident implicating Alexis, possibly tying it to Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante).
Regardless of the ultimate victim, the dagger will likely play a pivotal role in the coming episodes. With Alexis’ fingerprints now linked to the weapon, she may soon find herself under intense scrutiny as Sidwell’s plan unfolds.
