GH’s Cameron Mathison Confirms “Drew Isn’t Going Anywhere” After ‘Beat The Bridge’ Game Show Host Gig Revealed

Fans were curious following the news that General Hospital’s Cameron Mathison is the host of the upcoming Game Show Network show, Beat The Bridge, debuting this June, and what that means for his Port Charles alter-ego of Drew Cain.

Yesterday, following the reveal, Cameron took to his Instagram and shared: “I’ve been waiting to share this for a while!  This summer I’ll be hosting Beat The Bridge on Game Show Network. So excited for you all to see it and so grateful to be a part of the GSN family 🙏 🥳🍾”

In addition, Cameron also took a moment to address the rumors that if he is hosting the game show that means he is either departing the ABC daytime drama series, or taking a leave of absence.

Turns out, Mathison taped the game show episodes already and quite some time ago. In his Instagram post, he expressed, “Got some questions about how this affects General Hospital… it doesn’t!  I already shot Beat The Bridge last year so Drew isn’t going anywhere:)”

As previously reported in Beat The Bridge, an enormous interactive bridge dares players to cross by stepping on the right answers to challenging trivia questions. During the game play, each steps forward and puts money in the team’s bank, with bonus money for each successful crossing. However, the team gets to keep the money only if it can “beat the bridge” by returning one of its players back across before time expires.

So, are you glad to hear that Cameron is staying put at GH? With Drew staying on the canvas and broken up with Carly, who would you like to see the character romantically paired with? Comment below.

Well, that’s a disappointment. I will give the new head writers some time to see how they reset Drew. Hope Mathison is up to the task.

My thoughts exactly.

After this week, so far, it appears he and Nina are headed for a pairing.

The now Drew and Nina belong together. I thought that Drew and the ex commissioner would be good together but not now. Sam needs to get off high horse. Can’t wait til Nina finds out Ava is trying to get Sonny back lol.

Too bad. I was hoping he was leaving GH.

Terrible actor and a “Great American Family” actor to boot!!

Disappointed he isn’t; if the actor wants a pay check & support from fans of show, he needs to look at his acting effort. Social media doesn’t call him “Drewfus” without a reason.

This is disappointing.
Boring character who has no chemistry with anyone.

Darn.

<<not going anywhere>>
Too bad. 🙁
His one-note performance and “nails-on-the-chalkboard” voice are oh so wrong for this character. He tries so hard (too hard!) but it goes nowhere.

I like Cameron but as for Drew, I could take him or leave him. I never was excited about that character.

I’m actually glad to hear that. There is not one thing “Drew” about him but that’s for two reasons: Billy Mille was a hard act to follow. He just brought a feeling, a warmth to the character that was hard to compete with. And even though “Drew” wasn’t a legacy character nor played by a GH vet, a recast just didn’t fit right from the beginning. And that’s not Cameron’s fault, nor is the fact that the writers wrote the character completely differently. There was not one personality trait that was “Drew’s.” So not that I’ve accepted that, and they’ve broken him away from Carly, and his character is not pretending to be warm, sweet, fair-minded, Drew, his character is more interesting to me. I can’t stand him because I think he’s a bastard, but I find the character more interesting. So, I’m interested to see what they do with Drew. Match him with Nina? Jordan? Will he remain a bastard or will he bond with Jason, etc. I think there’s more story to be told with him….

I can’t stand that there’s no edit option. Okay; I meant that it’s not Cameron’s fault that he sucks as “Drew.” Two reasons: Billy Miller was a hard act to follow AND the writers wrote the character completely differently than when Billy played Drew. There was nothing Drew-like about the character when Cameron took over the role.

It is his acting chops that counts, I’ve watch him on many programs & it’s the same a good actor can make any type of role seem exciting, Billy miller played same role & I loved it

For God’s sake, he isn’t one of my favorites but there are a lot worse and just because we aren’t crazy about him on GH doesn’t mean he isn’t liked nor a good actor on other shows.. It’s not fair to be comparing him to Billy Miller whom I can’t see with Carly or Nina but Cameron seems to go well with both women, if necessary. Just give the guy a break, I’m sure he’s doing his best given whom he has to play opposite. Poor guy, looks like Nina will be his next romance.

I agree. Actors are people. I would love to see the people who dislike an actor, acting themselves and recieving contrast criticism for there daily work.

Yay I’m so happy he’s staying live him great actor ..♥️♥️

Oh God. It almost sounds like a threat rather than assurance.

Don’t like Drew. Love CM but not as Drew. He’d better in the mystery series.

I don’t dislike Cameron, actually met him once and he was a really nice guy. But he’s just been dull as dish water as Drew, I’m sorry to say. At least the Drew character that exists now. And I put that on the previous head writers. When he debuted as Drew and he was being held captive by Victor, and was using his military training to try and break out, that Drew was actually interesting.

So as OG Steve mentioned, I’m hoping Mulcahey and Korte can reset the character and bring back more of the way he was when CM first came on the show, and when Billy Miller played him.

Drew is boring like watching paint dry, he never change his demeanor, same on all his shows

Just looking at Cameron’s photo above, and how nice he looked, compared to all that icky hair he’s growing all over his face now. Guess they want him to look the way he’s been acting lately.

Did you see the episode where he rips off his shirt in front of Nina… he is built !

Drew and Nina? I call it “Deranged Syndrome”.
Plus—Carly and agent-what’s-his-name—Ewwww and gross all around.

The above should read “Derangement Syndrome”….
————-
I thought Nina and Sonny , as a couple, was a “nutty” idea—Now, ye gods have gone completely coconuts.

Drew needs to stay away from nina. And do ever make love nina near again. I do not see on the show

General Hospital

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kristina is Rocked By Sonny’s Behavior, Finn Teeters on the Edge as Gregory’s Condition Worsens

Monday’s May 20th episode of General Hospital brought with it emotional moments featuring excellent performances by Kate Mansi (Kristina), Maurice Benard (Sonny) and Michael Easton (Finn).

In the pick of Friday’s cliffhanger, Sonny goes postal on Dex (Evan Hofer) and Jason (Steve Burton), until he sees that Kristina heard and saw the whole thing. She runs into the bathroom, while Sonny goes after her.

Sonny is begging Kristina to let him explain. He goes on to say how Dex and Jason both turned on him, and to please not be afraid of him. But, all Kristina can do is cry as she begs Sonny not to touch her, and with that, he walks out.

Alone and frightened, and trying to calm herself down, Kristina phones Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) and tells her to come to the bathroom. Kristina is worried about her unborn baby, and cannot believe her father’s behavior.  It’s at that point, Kristina voices she feels like a fool because everyone was warning her about her father. She thought he had a code of ethics, but the man she saw threaten to kill Dex and Jason is nothing like that, leaving her bewildered and stunned.

Jason calls Carly (Laura Wright) and she comes running to the Metro Court to find Sonny, while Jason follows her, but remains sight unseen. Carly finds Sonny at the pool area. Sonny says he thinks no one loves him anymore. Carly says Kristina just needs some time. Carly tells Sonny to not act like that again, but Sonny says he can’t promise that.

Following Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase’s (Josh Swickard) wedding, Gregory, Finn and Violet (Jophielle Love) come home.  When Violet  goes to bed, it leaves father and son to have some very heavy moments given Gregory’s battle with ALS. Finn tells his dad that he appreciates the time they have together now after years of being apart. Gregory tells Finn he is proud of him, which brings the good doctor to tears.

After Finn helps Gregory get ready for bed, he leaves and calls Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn). Finn admits he threw away 7 years of sobriety by somehow taking a sip of champagne at the wedding reception. Alexis wonders if subconsciously he wanted the drink but says that doesn’t mean he failed.

At the end of episode, Gregory is in bed, and has flashes of his own life from a child till now, and of his children, Finn and Chase. He finally closes his eyes. Will Gregory not wake up sending Finn on a complete downward spiral? Stay tuned!

Alluding to their time apart, Rena noted, “The three years we spent apart were humbling and heartbreaking but vital to us finding each other again. The love I have for you now is the foundation of my life. I can’t imagine another moment NOT walking through life with you hand in hand and our hearts entwined. You are the love of my life, and it’s not ‘oops we did it again, but I’m so grateful we did it again!❤️❤️❤️”

Previously, Sofer was married to GH and Days star, Wally Kurth (Ned and Justin, respectively) from 1995-1997, and the two share a daughter together, Rosabel Rosalind Kurth. Rena and Sanford were previously married from 2005 to 2017 and share a daughter together, Avalon Leone.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Alexis , Finn, and Kristina Face Life-Altering Moments

This week on ABC’s General Hospital could bring a shift in the lives of several lives in Port Charles. In the latest promo for the daytime drama series, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is seen in court facing her accuser, the brother of her former lover, the late Neil Byrne, in the form of Lane Davies as Fergus Byrne.

Will Alexis finally be reinstated as a lawyer? Will Fergus and Alexis actually hit it off since Lane and Nancy Lee Grahn played the beloved Mason and Julia Capwell on Santa Barbara, and Davies was previously on GH as Dr. Cameron Lewis?

Meanwhile, a pregnant Kristina (Kate Mansi) is reeling after seeing her father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) lose his grip and threatening to kill Jason (Steve Burton) and Dex (Evan Hofer). Will her unborn baby be in danger?

Finally, Finn’s (Michael Easton) sobriety is really tested and it all seems to be inadvertently caused by the Cerullos. First, at the wedding reception of Brook Lynn and Chase, Carmine hands Finn a glass of champagne after his daughter Violet’s performance. Not paying attention, he takes a sip of champagne during a toast.

Now, Carmine and Gloria send a bottle of bourbon to Finn with their “warmest regards.” However, Finn can’t stop himself from pouring himself a drink.  Will Finn finally give in, and we are off to the races with another addiction storyline for the good doctor? Stay tuned.

Check out the latest GH preview below.

Now, let us know. What do you think will happen with Finn, Alexis and Kristina on this week’s GH? Share your theories in the comment section.
