In the world of General Hospital, the name Sonny Corinthos has always been synonymous with being the hunter, the strategist, and the king of the Port Charles underworld. However, as we move through the cold, treacherous weeks of January 2026, the roles have flipped in a way that no one saw coming. A new, more dangerous breed of villain has emerged from the shadows of international espionage, and they have Sonny squarely in their crosshairs.

WSB Director Ross Cullum and the ruthless mercenary Jens Sidwell are executing a masterclass in misdirection, attempting to paint Sonny as the mastermind behind their own illegal operations. But while the villains are focused on the “Dimpled Don,” they have overlooked a burgeoning alliance that could be their ultimate undoing: the high-tech, high-stakes partnership of Josslyn Jacks and the enigmatic Brick.General Hospital Spoilers: Will Vaughn And Joss’ Last Ditch Kiss Spark More Than Spy Games? – IMDb

The “Sidwell-Cullum Pact” represents a new level of threat for the residents of Port Charles. Sidwell, a man who has already proven his cruelty by holding Anna Devane captive in a psychological “Faison Project” prison, has found a perfect ally in Ross Cullum. As the new head of the WSB, Cullum provides the legal and structural “shield” that allows Sidwell’s darker impulses to thrive.

Together, they have been using the resources of Wyndemere—specifically the hidden catacombs and laboratories—to continue the brainwashing work of the late Cesar Faison. Their goal is simple: total control through psychological warfare. Their obstacle? Sonny Corinthos.

To clear their path, Sidwell and Cullum have orchestrated a narrative that targets Sonny’s reputation and his freedom. By feeding misinformation to the DA’s office and planting evidence that links Sonny’s organization to recent WSB-targeted firebombings, they hope to keep the authorities—and the town—distracted.

They want the eyes of Port Charles on the mob boss while they finalize “Phase II” of their brainwashing project under the cover of a massive winter storm. It’s a classic “magic trick” maneuver: look at the hand with the gun (Sonny), so you don’t see the hand with the needle (Sidwell).

However, the villains made a fatal error: they underestimated the intelligence and the “agent mode” of Josslyn Jacks. Josslyn, who has been grappling with her own complex relationship with the WSB and Jack Brennan, recently overheard a conversation that changed everything.

She learned that Brennan’s pursuit of her mother, Carly, was partially a cover to gather intel on Sonny—and that Cullum was the one pulling the strings. Realizing that the man her mother is dating is being used as a pawn to destroy the father of her siblings, Josslyn did what any daughter of Carly Spencer and Jasper Jacks would do: she went to war.

Josslyn knew she couldn’t take on a corrupt WSB Director alone, which led her to the one man who speaks the language of shadows as fluently as the villains: Brick. As Sonny’s resident tech-genius and surveillance expert, Brick has always been a man of few words and massive results. When Josslyn approached him with the Intel she gathered at Wyndemere, Brick recognized the severity of the threat immediately.

“You cannot trust anybody,” he warned her, a sentiment that has become the unofficial theme of Port Charles in 2026. Together, they have formed a “Digital Resistance,” using Brick’s encrypted networks to stay one step ahead of Cullum’s surveillance.

Their mission is twofold: protect Sonny from the impending frame-up and expose the horrific truth of what is happening in the Wyndemere catacombs. Josslyn has been using her “sleeper agent” status—a status Brennan tried to revoke to protect her—to infiltrate the island during the current blizzard.GENERAL HOSPITAL: WSB Agent Josslyn Jacks – Michael Fairman TV

While Lucas Jones remains oblivious to the danger lurking beneath his feet at Wyndemere, Josslyn and Brick are monitoring the island’s power grid, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. They suspect that the “Faison project” is being powered by an independent source that Brick can hack, potentially freeing Anna and revealing Cullum’s corruption to the world.

The stakes of this alliance are deeply personal. For Josslyn, saving Sonny isn’t just about loyalty to her family’s history; it’s about protecting the peace her mother has worked so hard to build.

For Brick, it’s a matter of professional pride and a genuine respect for the man who has trusted him for years. Together, they represent a bridge between the old-school loyalty of the Corinthos organization and the modern, high-tech world of international espionage.

As the blizzard of January 2026 engulfs Port Charles, the battle lines are clearly drawn. Sidwell and Cullum are confident in their ability to manipulate the narrative, but they are fighting an enemy they can’t see.

While they think they are tracking Sonny, Brick and Josslyn are tracking them. The “Secret Mirror” of the Kelce-Swift world may be a story of love, but the “Secret Surveillance” of Joss and Brick is a story of survival.

In the coming episodes, fans can expect a high-octane showdown. Josslyn is preparing for a “bold move” that will take her deep into the heart of Sidwell’s lab, while Brick works to dismantle Cullum’s legal immunity from the outside.

If they succeed, they won’t just save Sonny; they will dismantle one of the most corrupt chapters in the history of the WSB. But in Port Charles, success always comes with a price. As Brick famously warned, in a world where everyone has a secret, sometimes the person you’re trying to save is the one who leads you right into the trap
