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

Haley Pullos Receives 90-Day Jail Sentence Following DUI Charge And Wrong-Way Car Crash

Former General Hospital actress, Haley Pullos (ex-Molly Lansing-Davis) is going to be doing time in jail, exactly one-year after her arrest from a hit and run wrong-way car collision.

The crash resulted in bodily harm and damages to the other driver, and now Pullos who pleaded “no contest” to the charges and will serve 90 days in jail. She was taken in custody on Monday, April 29th, after the ruling.

According to Haley’s attorney, Mark Daniel Melnick, the 25-year-old actress struck a plea deal and after her three months in jail will be sentenced on July 29th. As part of that sentencing, she must serve five years probation, 200 hours of community service and pay $8,260 in restitution to Courteney Wilder, the other driver in the crash and her driver’s license is revoked for a year.

According to TMZ, the plea deal for Pullos has the “no contest” to one DUI, while the judge dropped the felony DUI causing bodily injury and misdemeanor hit and run charges.

Melnick said in a statement to PEOPLE, “Haley is very grateful to the court for a minimum sentence and for recognizing her remorse and the strides she has made in her sobriety.”

Pullos had played the daughter of Alexis Davis (played by Nancy Lee Grahn) on the ABC soap opera since 2009, but after her car crash and DUI she was replaced by three different actresses until the show finally settled on the current Molly, Kristen Vaganos.

Back in April 29 of 2023, and at the scene of the crash, the police found edibles and mini-bottles of tequila in Pullos’ vehicle and that she was intoxicated. As it turned out, this was to be the second hit and run in the evening for Pullos who had an earlier collision with another car.

The courts decision follows a year-long legal battle with Haley’s pleas changing throughout it, ranging from “not guilty” to “no contest”. She sought treatment for her drinking at a rehab following the crash.

Nancy Lee Grahn, who portrayed Pullos’ on-screen mom took to X on Monday night, April 29th and shared on the sentence and the specific jail, Haley will be serving time: “As Haley’s TV mom I can tell some truths about her as I’ve loved her since she was little girl. She made a HUGE mistake, knows it, owns it & has spent the last yr doing EVERYTHING imaginable to take responsibility 4 it. It’s not that I oppose jail. It’s that I oppose this jail.” The jail in question by Grahn is the L.A. county jail.

So, what do you think about Haley Pullos serving a 90-days jail sentence, and the other rulings that will be part of her sentencing? Comment below.

Jack Wagner Recalls Dilemma During Time on General Hospital: “It Was So Hard for Me Being in the Music Business and Coming from a Soap to be Taken Legitimately as a Singing Artist”

Soap fans first met Jack Wagner back in 1984 when he joined General Hospital as Frisco Jones. While they loved Frisco and Felicia’s (Kristina Wagner) on-screen romance, one might recall that when Frisco first came to town he was the lead singer of Blackie’s (John Stamos) band, Blackie and the Riff Raff.

During his early days on GH, Wagner was also working on his rising musical career, which put him at a serious crossroads. Things got even more challenging, when Jack became a pop star after the release of his 1985 single, “All I Need” which hit the Top 10.  The character of Frisco actually sang the song on GH, before it went on to become a mega-hit.

While Wagner appeared on GH through 1995, and reprised the part for several episodes back in 2013, fans to this day miss him and hope one day he might return.

Speaking with PEOPLE, Wagner admitted his inner conflict with being a soap star, while trying to have a successful musical career.  Jack reflected, “I used to battle it, because it was so hard for me being in the music business and coming from a soap to be taken legitimately as a singing artist. It took time to let go of that, but now I embrace it. If I can make someone’s day by going down memory lane, it makes my day.”

In his early musical days, Wagner released six albums, and his role on GH didn’t hurt the frenzy surrounding seeing him live. “I would sell concerts out in an hour or two,” Jack admitted.

Looking back at the GH hey day, in which he was a part of, Wagner added, “It really was incredible how popular the show was in the ’80s. It was crazy, because back then, people would join fan clubs, and there would be bags and bags of fan letters. I took it in stride, because it was just sort of the things (that) happened to Tony Geary (ex-Luke), Rick Springfield (ex-Noah) and John Stamos, who were ‘teen idols,’ I guess you would call us, back then.”

Wagner currently appears on Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.

So, do you remember Jack’s musical taking off during his time on GH? Do you hope that one day he might make a return as Frisco Jones on the ABC daytime drama series? Comment below.
