‘General Hospital’: Sonny Gets Revenge on Dex (VIDEO)

General Hospital’s Sonny Corinthos may very well go after revenge on Dex Heller when he finds out about his betrayal on GH. So, his days may be numbered on the ABC soap opera.

This is a transcript of our new GH video about what might happen to Dex Heller if Michael abandons his revenge plot against Sonny (video down below).

General Hospital: Everything up in the Air for Dex Heller

Hey there, ABC Soap Opera fans. We have got something to talk about on General Hospital, and it has to do with the dynamic between Sonny Corinthos and Dex Heller. And based on some new General Hospital spoilers, we are wondering if the tides are about to turn.

And Sonny is going to find out that Dex has been spying on him and could seek revenge on him. We want to talk about that real quick because of brand-new spoilers for Sweeps. So, let’s talk about this. We have to wonder if Michael Corinthos is about to put Dex Heller at risk.

If he doesn’t follow up and turn over the footage to the feds, what is going to happen to Dex? Is he going to be trapped? Is he going to run off? Then, is Sonny going to find out what he’s been doing? So already this week, we have seen Willow Tait pressing Michael, and she’s going to do it again next week.

Willow Changes Michael’s Mind on GH

The official spoilers for General Hospital for next week say that Michael makes a very difficult choice. So we are wondering if he is about to abandon his revenge scheme because of Willow. She is in stage four leukemia. She was just talking to Michael about Sonny and how he’s been setting him up.

And how he’s been paying Dex Heller to spy on him. And when he was trying to explain this to Willow, because he’s been keeping this secret for, I don’t know, about a year, right? She collapsed, and he is feeling horribly guilty. Like revealing this to her was the reason that she collapsed.

Of course, it was probably just the excitement of the wedding day when she’s so sick. But she’s off at General Hospital right now, and her prognosis is grim, which they already knew that she only had a few weeks to live unless she gets that life-saving bone marrow transplant that she’s being prepped for.

We also know that by the end of the week, towards like May the 11th or 12th, the official General Hospital spoilers have the people who were being held hostage with Victor back to Port Charles. So Victor’s reign of terror is finally over, and Liesl is coming home.

Willow’s Nightmare over Soon

Now, Vic is dead, and everybody is heading back to Port Charles, which means that Liesl comes out of this unscathed and is ready to donate her bone marrow. But Willow is going to keep pressuring Michael about this because she wants the family to be unified.

She is not happy about what he’s doing with his dad and with this estrangement. So if Michael does abandon this revenge scheme, what does that mean for Dex Heller? He’s in a tough spot. Dex has been spying on the local mob boss. He just took a secret video of the local mob boss. And the whole endgame was that Sonny was going to be going to prison for life on General Hospital.

So Dex would take his payment for this gig when he would leave town. And hopefully, Sonny would never even know it was him, but this is all very complicated because Dex doesn’t want to keep working for Sonny. Well, he’s told Joss he doesn’t, but the fact is that Dex has a grudging respect for Sonny.

Dex Turns Out to be Sonny’s Son on General Hospital?

As a matter of fact, we talked about this earlier when we speculated in another video about whether or not Dex and Sonny might be father and son, and they just don’t know it because Sonny’s got secret kids all over the place coming out of the woodwork. Because, you know, he was carrying on with women all the time.

So it wouldn’t be necessarily surprising if Dex and Sonny were father and son. And that could play out as part of this storyline. So with Michael abandoning his revenge scheme, that’s what we assume is going to happen.

Of course, there are no official spoilers confirming that yet, but it definitely sounds like he might drop this. Then Dex could just up and leave town. Get away from Sonny, get away from the mob, and make an excuse to quit on General Hospital.

But the only problem is that he’s fallen really hard for Sonny’s ex-stepdaughter, Josslyn Jacks, Michael’s sister. So he will probably want to stay in Port Charles to explore things with Joss. But then, what does that mean for him and Sonny?

Dex Stuck in the Mob on General Hospital

If he goes to Sonny and says, Oh, I don’t want to be in the mob anymore, because Joss does not want to be with him if he’s gonna stay in the mob. Although if he did, she’d probably just, you know, keep seeing him. But ostensibly, he is with her on the promise that he’s not going to be in the mob that much longer, that he’s just finishing up this gig for Michael.

So if he wants to stay in town, would Sonny let him quit? Generally, the mob is not a job you can quit. It’s not the McDonald’s drive-thru. You can’t just go in and say, I quit. I’m out. You know, there’s that whole like Godfather thing where it’s like, uh, I try to get out, and they reel me back in.

So Sonny probably wouldn’t let Dex just walk away knowing all the things that he knows about his operation. So that, that’s the first issue right there is that if Michael doesn’t follow through, then Dex is in this, you know, kind of between a rock and a hard place on General Hospital.

And if Sonny finds out that Dex was working for Michael, recorded him, and set him up, he could be dead meat. Things are gonna be really bad, and it almost seems inevitable that Sonny will find out. Right now, Michael has that footage, and if he hangs on to the footage or destroys the footage that’s one thing.

Dex Dead Meat on GH?

But if somehow someone else gets ahold of that footage and Sonny finds out, then Dex is going to be in a really bad spot. I don’t know if you remember this, but way back in the day, Brenda Barrett wore a wire to record Sonny.

She did not like his mob activity, and he found out that she had worn a wire, and that was a deal breaker for them. They ended up getting back together eventually, but he did dump her over it. That is not the kind of thing that he will tolerate, and she got away with it because she was his girlfriend and was very cute.

But Dex could be in real trouble on General Hospital. Sonny might want to put him in concrete shoes and throw him off a pier. So Michael’s change of heart, if it goes the way we suspect, is definitely going to put Dex’s life at potential risk.

Mikey Saves His Lackey on General Hospital?

Another option that we thought about is that Michael could go to Sonny and say, Look, I was furious at what you did to mom and how you picked Nina over her. And it was my plot to take you down.

I hired Dex. I’ve been paying Dex. This wasn’t Dex’s idea. I’ve decided against it. I’m destroying any evidence I have. Don’t hold it against Dex. So Mikey could go, and he could lobby on behalf of Dex to try and squash any beef and prevent anything bad from happening.

However, knowing Sonny, that tactic wouldn’t work on him. So Michael going to try and take the blame with Sonny might buy Dex a little time, but it doesn’t seem like long term that that’s something that Sonny would swallow well on General Hospital.

Epic Fallout if Sonny Takes Out Dex on GH

And then there’s the fact that it seems inevitable that Sonny will find out about this. And once he does, if he goes after Dex, then Joss is going to be upset, Michael’s going to be upset, and then Michael might be in a position where he has to leverage Sonny with the evidence against him.

Like, he might have to use it as an insurance policy to protect Dex, where he has to say, look, if Dex disappears, I’m going to assume you did it, and I’m going to turn this footage over. Of course, trying to blackmail a mob boss, even if he is your adoptive father, is never a good idea. So what do you think?

Is Sonny Corinthos going to take revenge on Dex Heller? Could there be a way that Michael can drop this and Dex can get out of the situation he’s in with the mob, still stay with Josslyn, and not have his life on the line? Is that possible? We’ll have to wait and see.
