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

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.
