General Hospital: Curtis Trapped Beside SIDWELL as Prison Chaos Erupts

General Hospital puts Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) facing 10 years in Pentonville with the possibility of parole in two. And of course, he is stunned.

He was so cocky and so sure that Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) left him and Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) for dead that he assaulted the man and then thought he would get away with it.

Well, karma is coming for Curtis in a big way because he’s packing off to prison. And guess what? Psycho Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is going to be his cellmate.

General Hospital: Curtis’ Shocking Prison Sentence

So, there was a moment when it looked like Isaiah might not get justice for that assault. Curtis refused the plea deal of two years with eight months till parole. He was so sure, so smug, thought he was going to be acquitted because he had Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight) accuse Isaiah of leaving them for dead.

Curtis thought for sure the jury would believe him with no proof and that that would somehow justify his assault on Isaiah. Instead, the jury found Curtis guilty, and then the judge slapped Jordan’s boyfriend with a 10-year prison sentence with a chance of parole in a couple of years. But Martin talked them into giving Curtis 48 hours so that he can get things in order before heading to Pentonville to start doing time.

And Jordan assured Curtis that everybody’s going to visit, including her and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) and Desmond. And Jordan says she’ll wait for him so they can be together again. And of course, Curtis is crushed because he’s going to miss out on a lot of time with Desmond. And Curtis realizes that Isaiah will indeed be playing daddy to his son while Curtis is locked up in Pentonville. And of course, Curtis still isn’t taking accountability and neither is Jordan.

GH Twist: Curtis Ashford Prison Nightmare with Sidwell

Needless to say, things are not looking good for Curtis. So, he’s heading to Pentonville where Sidwell is, and this is the start of a prison nightmare. That villain just started serving a 31-year sentence with a chance of parole in 26 years. So basically at his age, that’s almost assuredly life in prison.

Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) recently told Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) she wasn’t prosecuting Sidwell’s case because he took a plea deal and that many years behind bars when you’re that age is hand him out to a death sentence. So, all bets are off on Sidwell’s behavior. He’s got nothing to lose. So, Curtis may be on the receiving end when Sidwell acts out.

And recently Carlo Rota was at a fan event with his wife Nazneen Contractor who plays ADA Justine Turner. And Carlo said that Sidwell is not done. He has more scenes coming up at Pentonville where his storyline’s going to progress. And Carlo said another GH character will be his cellmate. So, of course, that’s Curtis. And he’ll be horrified to find out Sidwell is his cellie. And Jordan may be even more horrified than Curtis because she knows how lethal Sidwell is. Plus, he’s got that grudge against Jordan.

General Hospital: Curtis’ Life at Risk

So, let’s talk about where he goes from here. First of all, Curtis may be in literal danger because Sidwell is ticked that Jordan wouldn’t help him out when he was behind bars. Remember, before he took the plea deal, Sidwell met with Jordan and asked her to help him out with some business and financial transactions, moving stuff around.

She told Sidwell no. And Jordan also admitted she’d been plotting against him all along. So she thought it was okay to talk this way to Sidwell because he couldn’t touch her. He still can’t. But with Curtis in his cell, Sidwell can do something to him.

He’s mad that Jordan spilled about the house, which was how he wound up getting caught in the end. So, Sidwell might have whatever prison minions he’s paying to keep him safe, turn around and attack Curtis. Jordan may show up to visit and be stunned to see Curtis all busted up. And Jordan realizes it’s Sidwell punishing Curtis for her dangerous games.

Although, as we know, Curtis is the one who got himself put in prison. All because he jumped to conclusions, assaulted Isaiah, showed zero remorse, continued to go after Portia Robinson’s (Brook Kerr) partner, and then refused a really sweet plea deal. So, Curtis is likely going to have some serious regrets soon.

BLQ Finally Steps Up on GH?

The next thing that could happen once Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) finds out Curtis got 10 to serve too, she’s going to realize a lot of this is on her. Brook Lynn’s going to feel horrible. Only a really strong appeal will get Curtis out. And Martin’s not optimistic. So, Brook Lynn may try and help out. I could see her going to Isaiah and explaining herself, confessing.

You know, Brook Lynn may tell Isaiah she feels sick over what happened to him and that it’s her fault that Curtis attacked him. And Brook Lynn may ask if Isaiah might consider leniency as the victim if she took her info to the PCPD to help Curtis’ appeal. Would Isaiah back down?

I think he might. If Curtis would back down about trying to block him from Desmond and Portia’s lives, but we all know how stubborn Curtis is. But Isaiah also knows this is hurting Trina, which means it’s hurting Portia. So, if Brook Lynn finally did the right thing, it might actually help.

General Hospital: Sidwell on the Loose

Another thing that might happen is Sidwell might escape. We’ve heard chatter about this from our leaker. And if that manifests, he might take Curtis with him to ruin his life in Jordans. Because if Curtis is part of an escape, he won’t get parole in two years. He would probably serve all 10, maybe more. So, I could absolutely see Sidwell having his minions drag Curtis along for an escape.

And as Sidwell’s cellmate, the warden would assume they were conspiring and he wouldn’t believe Curtis if he denied it. That would be another good way to punish Jordan because she helped take Sidwell’s freedom. Another thing we might see is Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) might come through and do Curtis a solid. Maybe Drew knows the governor and can ask him for a pardon. Drew’s claim that he wants to be friends with Curtis again. And if you recall, Sonny got a governor pardon years ago.

He escaped Pentonville and saved the haunted star from a bomb. So, that’s a total possibility for Curtis. So, Drew might do that because he and Curtis seem to be acting like things are bygones. Especially if Curtis agreed to use Aurora to target Sonny and help Drew run the mobster out of town like he wants. Or should I say ex-mobster, about to be ex-mobster. I absolutely think Curtis would help Drew with that.

General Hospital: Curtis Breaks Out

And last but not least, Curtis might find another way to avoid his full sentence. As far as we’ve heard, Donnell Turner sticking around. So, that means he’ll be out of Pentonville one way or another. So, Curtis may thwart Sidwell’s escape attempt and earn a faster parole. Or Brook Lynn could try and clean up the mess that Jordan made by crashing them.

And that Brook Lynn exacerbated with her lies. And of course Curtis made worse with his attitude. But Brook Lynn might go to Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) and ask her to go to the governor asking for a pardon for him.

Because Curtis is so close to Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson). It could be justified that way. Especially if Brook Lynn tells Tracy, “Find a way to get a governor’s pardon or I’m going to confess, even if it burns down my marriage.”

I expect Curtis to come out of prison, though worse for wear. Remember, Drew came out of Pentonville so much worse and then went downhill from there and morphed into the total jerk we’ve got now. And if Curtis doesn’t learn his lesson, he may come out, try to block Isaiah from being around Desmond.

If so, I’m still hoping there’s another DNA test for some reason, and we find out Curtis isn’t the dad, and Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) rigged the paternity test because Curtis didn’t get the chance to raise Trina.

It would be karmic if Curtis gets his freedom but loses the baby and then Portia, Isaiah, and Des get there happily ever after. And Curtis gets Jordan and a lot of anger and frustration. We’ll see it play how it plays out, but very soon things are going to go from bad to much worse for Curtis.
