The latest episode of General Hospital, which aired on July 14, has fans in a frenzy over one cryptic mention — who exactly is the mutual friend shared between Professor Henry “Hank” Dalton and financier Jenz Sidwell? With Sidwell warning Dalton that this unnamed associate is “unhappy” and planning a meeting soon, viewers are now scrambling to crack the mystery before it happens on-screen.
Who is Dalton and Sidwell’s mutual friend on General Hospital?
During the new episode, Sidwell met Dalton at a church and urged him to lay low before his son arrived. The financier revealed that their mutual friend wasn’t pleased with Dalton’s slow progress and was planning a meeting “next week.” His warning was sharp: “If you don’t have [answers], there’ll be hell to pay.” This ominous statement has launched a wave of speculation across fan forums.
On Soap.com’s message board, one viewer posted, “Didn’t see that coming. Who do you guys think the mutual friend is, and what exactly do you think Sidwell and Dalton and the mutual friend are up [to]. I’ve heard rumours it has something to do with cloning, and its tied to Kelly Thiebaud’s return. Another wrote, “As Britt is spotted by Jason this week, if the cloning rumour is true it would explain her comeback.”
Theories range from the return of long-absent villains like Jerry Jacks or Lorenzo Alcazar to the ever-suspicious Valentin Cassadine. Some fans have even connected it to Kelly Thiebaud’s potential comeback as Britt Westbourne, speculating that science experiments or even cloning could be part of the story arc.
Dalton has kept his operation opaque with no digital trails, only messengers, and tight control over lab access. His clean-engine prototype work, while impressive, has taken a dark route. Animal rights activists like Emma have accused him of unethical testing on higher mammals. She even went undercover in his lab after being expelled for exposing him. With Joss now helping the WSB, the pressure is mounting.
Now, whether it’s Cassadine, Jacks, or someone completely unexpected, the identity of Dalton and Sidwell’s mutual friend will be revealed soon on General Hospital.
