General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) is getting in too deep with Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), and it looks like she’s in serious trouble.
Ever since Cyrus came to town, he’s wanted to push his drugs on the people of Port Charles, and Sasha is no doubt one of many who have ended up becoming hooked on Cyrus’ product.
As GH viewers know, Sasha didn’t go looking for drugs – they found her, when one of the staffers at Deception noticed that she needed a pick-me-up.
From there, Cyrus’ drug pushers made sure that Sasha was well-supplied with drugs so that she ended up getting hooked. And now Cyrus seems to be toying with Sasha and deliberately withholding, then providing, drugs to her to make her beholden to him.
Sasha was certainly skittish when Cyrus invited her to the Metro Court for drinks, and she seemed quite uncertain about what to make of the drug lord’s generosity and kindness.
And while at first it seemed like Cyrus might be interested in Sasha romantically, there’e something much more sinister going on here.
Sasha is clearly too messed up to see what’s going on, but Cyrus has a plan, and the guy who ended up giving Sasha some drugs in that purple envelope as Sasha was leaving the Metro Court was all part of the plan.
We suspect that Cyrus has a lot more in store for Sasha, and as she becomes more desperate for drugs, the more willing she’ll probably be to get involved with Cyrus’ drug trade.
Could Cyrus have plans to reel in Sasha and get her to sell and/or push drugs on other people in Port Charles? We wouldn’t be surprised if Cyrus slowly started making demands of Sasha in return for drugs, as a way to get her to comply before making some much larger demands.
How long before Sasha will be helping to move drugs through Port Charles? Deception will probably have some shipments of its product being distributed through Port Charles, and Cyrus could want to use those distribution lines.
That’s something that Sasha would probably never agree to doing, but if she’s already in deep with Cyrus and she gets forcefully reminded that she can’t really say no or else suffer some consequences…well, then Cyrus may get his way.
Cyrus could end up even threatening the people that Sasha cares about as a way of coercing her into doing what he wants?
When Cyrus and Sasha were meeting at the Metro Court, Cyrus alluded to how Sasha had opened up to him the night before, so he likely knows all about how much Sasha cares for Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and what she sacrificed for him.
We wouldn’t put it past Cyrus to threaten Michael if Sasha doesn’t do what he wants.
We’ll see what happens here, but Sasha seems poised to be coerced into doing some awful and very out-of-character things in the coming days. Do you think that Cyrus will get Sasha to start selling drugs or otherwise helping him with his drug business?
