Cameron Mathison to Star Opposite Candace Cameron Bure in Holiday Movie for Great American Family
General Hospital’s Cameron Mathison (Drew Quartermaine) can be seen on multiple shows and formats these days. Mathison has a front-burner storyline on the ABC soap opera as well as hosting Game Show Network’s summer series, Beat The Bridge.
According to Deadline, now comes word that Mathison will also star opposite Candace Cameron Bure in an upcoming Great American Family holiday movie, Jingle Bells, Wedding Bells. Look for it this November as part of Great American Christmas 2024. The holiday programming event is in its fourth season. In addition, Bure serves as one of the project’s executive producers.
In story, Gracie (Bure) is Peachtree Inn’s perfect wedding planner whose mantra “No problems, only solutions waiting to be discovered” makes blushing brides’ dreams come true. When Charlie (Mathison) brings his sister and future brother-in-law to their former hometown of Butler, South Carolina, expecting to create a magical Christmas Eve wedding at the Inn for Lindsay and Josh, the trio is stunned when Gracie stubbornly declines the job, saying it is not possible to pull off the perfect wedding two weeks before Christmas. Eventually, Gracie relents and agrees to plan the wedding, only to discover there are more hurdles to overcome than expected.”

This isn’t the first film Great American Family already has set for its Great American Christmas 2024. Others include A Vintage Christmas, Love at the Kettle (working title) and A Christmas Less Traveled (which also stars Bure).
Back at the end of 2023, Mathison signed a multi-picture deal with Great American Media. He has previously starred in Merry Christmas Wish and A Kindhearted Christmas for the company.

Bure came under fire in 2022 after becoming the Chief Content officer for Great America Media for her stance that Great American Family will keep “traditional marriage at the core,” after responding negatively, if same-sex couples would appear as leads in GAF’s upcoming TV film projects. Bill Abbott, CEO of the company, said of Bure comments in an interview with Variety during the backlash, “When she speaks on that, she’s not speaking on behalf of Great American Media.”
So, what do you think of the on-screen pairing of Mathison and Bure for the upcoming holiday movie? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
This is great news: if they put all the ignorant bigots in one movie, I can avoid them all at the same time.
Looking forward to this movie.
No Thank You. N-E-X-T…
They can keep it, and keep Cameron Mathison, too. Hoping this leads to an eventual exit from General Hospital and he can go to that “family” (a.k.a. all-White, heterosexual) network.
Two terrible actors with homophobic views. Maybe Cameron Mathison will finally have chemistry with a co-star? May these movies be a full time gig so this turkey will leave GH.
Brian…dude…YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON!!!!! And as for that BLAND AND HOMOPHOBIC Candace Cameron Bure, she and her entire family are nothing but a bunch of INSUFFERABLE HOMOPHOBES!!!!! Beyond yuck.
CCB’s views have been out there a long time; I didn’t know about Mr. Mathison. That’s disappointing, but if that’s his viewpoint, the Candy Cam Channel is the perfect place for him.
Wish he’d go back to these movies full time and exit GH.!
This really is terrible. A lot of fans didn’t like C.M when he first came to G.H. I’d only known him from A.M.C and thought he was o.k. I really have no idea how many of the not liking fans he’s won over. I was not crazy about him and Carly and hated his sexual encounters with Nina even more, because of my dislike for her character, so I guess you could say, my feelings were, take him or leave him, now I’d rather leave him, so my question is , can an actor’s popularity or??, be ruined by the subject matter or charactor they are portraying? Right now I don’t want to watch him in a Dog Food commercial, but welcome other opinions and views.
They ruined the character of Drew when they recast with Cameron; it wasn’t really his fault because nothing about the writing was “Drew.” Drew would never have dated Carly, he would have never have been so harsh, mean, insensitive, obnoxious to Nina, he never would have punched Ned out or gone behind his back with Michael, and he never would have sacrificed his daughter for Carly. I hated everything about “nuDrew,” and it was escalated by him being with Carly whom I detest.
When he and Nina started their hate/attraction, his character got interesting to me. Once they got him out of Carly’s orbit he went up a notch. And I thought that pairing him with Nina would be great; they had chemistry, looked good together, and watching Carly, Michael, and Willow’s head explode would be a great perk. But now I get to see that when Carly and Michael find out about “the kiss.” And Nina finds out about Drew/Willow, Willow finds out about Drew/Nina. Lots of betrayal. My wish for this story is the aforementioned explosion of Carly and Michael, and that it brings Nina and Willow closer when they find out that Drew was getting with them both. Lots of soapy betrayal…
Violet…I agree…it is terrible. But…I kinda like that new game show on the Game Show Network called Beat The Bridge. Not because that Cameron Mathison guy is hosting it. I watch it because the contestants seem like genuinely nice people…and the show is full of fun pop culture and trivia. Just saying.
Hi, I just could not get interested in that show and its like you said, it’s not because of C.M, all that jumping around bored me, maybe I’ll try again, but aside am not interested in watching them play house with mother and daughter, if that’s what they are planning.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
