Brick, portrayed by Stephen A. Smith, was the person who gave Sonny and Jason the information regarding the culprit behind the destruction of the penthouse.

Spoilers for Thursday's episode on General Hospital revealed that Sonny needed to speed up his investigation into who planted the device in his penthouse. While he needed to undergo surgery, he refused to leave until he made sure that his family was safe. Since Valentin had given him a name, Sonny finally had a lead.

Brick looked into the lead and visited Sonny with some answers. While Jason was wary about what Brick had to say, fans wondered whether Brick would tell them that Sidwell was behind the fire.

In the latest episode of General Hospital, Brick showed up with a new lead on Soliski, the hitman who Valentin blamed for the explosion at the penthouse. Brick said that Soliski was a contract killer and a former intelligence officer who was in Toronto. According to Brick's information, he was renting an apartment and a warehouse in the city and could be found at either location.

Meanwhile, Jason prepared to handle the situation on his own. When Sonny insisted on joining the mission, Jason didn't agree due to Sonny's poor health.

Brick warned them that they should send in a team because Soliski was paranoid and dangerous. Sonny decided to join Jason and they ventured out to find the name of the person who hired Soliski. Brick's intel helped Sonny and Jason with a lead that could enable them to find out the real culprit.
