Cameron Mathison Tells Jennifer Hudson How Much Everyone is Hating on General Hospital’s Drew Quartermaine
Today on the syndicated talker, The Jennifer Hudson Show, the EGOT winner welcomed six of the cast members of General Hospital including Cameron Mathison (Drew Quartermaine).
Hudson was already alerted by her production staff, that she had heard that people are not currently happy with his GH character of Drew, due to the seemingly about face of this once good-guy hero.
In response to Jennifer, Mathison explained the dislike of the recent machinations of Drew, which obviously include, Drew having sex with his nephew Michael’s wife, Willow, (Katelyn MacMullen) and now telling Anna Devane that he should rid Port Charles of organized crime and put Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Drew’s brother, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) behind bars, and more.

Cameron explained how he is actually enjoying the “questionable” Drew’s actions of late, sharing, “So the thing is… I’ve almost only played like the good guy, the hero, in almost everything I’ve done. So, in the last eight months, it’s been quite different for Drew.”
In terms of the fan response to his character, Mathison added, “Many times I’ve heard from people, a lot of aggression. But one time in particular, at a supermarket, somebody recognized me. They were like, ‘very excited to meet you,’ and then quickly shifted to, ‘I hate what Drew Cane’s doing,’ and grabbed an apple and threw it at me from across the produce section. So that was new for me.”

Accepting Drew’s current storyline path, Mathison added, “It could be worse. The key is that people feel strongly about your character; whether they like you strongly or don’t like you, right? It’s that neutral area that you don’t want. So I’ll take it.”
In addition to fans hating on on Drew, Hudson asked Mathison how he is doing since losing his beloved home last month in the recent Los Angeles wildfires and more.

So, are you “hating” on Drew, too? Let us know in the comment section below.
i would rather just see Nina move to Washington DC with Drew and be rid of both of them. I hate the idea of a Jason & Sasha pairing – it smacks of the storyline early in Sam’s arrival, her pregnancy by Sonny, this brings Jason and Sam closer. The age difference is too much.
Love Nina. Cynthia Watros is a mega talented actress who can break your heart, make you laugh and make you cringe. Nobody plays awkwardness as well as she can. And she’s too damn good for both Drew and Willow.
I agree, Cynthia is Awesome.
That she’s us, Devin. Thank you.
Cameron does look like a very decent guy… I agree that it’s Drew we dislike. We should congratulate him for play the bad guy very well.
Everything you say is true, and in my head I know it’s very unreasonable to hate him the way we do and I know it also means he’s doing a good job BUT can’t help how it just disgusts ne seeing him on screen, even his new game show. So nice that he’s proud of his work. I don’t watch his scenes anymore, unless I have to, because of the others in them.
Hello Violet
I agree with everything you said too. With all that we are dealing with worldwide, I am trying not to “hate” people for situations we find ourselves in. Always enjoy reading your posts and your wisdom you have being 92.
I guess. But about a year prior to his character’s hookup with Willow, the actor said in an interview that he’d like to see Drew hook up with Willow. Everyone was rather repulsed by this implausible idea but thought it wouldn’t happen. Hard to believe Cameron didn’t pull some strings to make this happen.
Oh! I did not know that….
Getting so I can’t stand Drew OR Cameron! And he used to be a fave of mine. And Willow! Used to like her, now I hate her!
Drew shouldn’t even be Drew Cain. He’s nothing like the strong character Billy Miller brought to the role. It’s like that are they different characters (and it’s, I’m in the “We hate Drew” club now.
Oh, yes. To me, that Cameron Mathison dude will NEVER EVER be the REAL ACTOR that Billy Miller was!!!!! NOT HAPPENING…EVER!!!!!
i hate drew but i know that cameron is not that guy please dont hate this man he is only an actor playing a role
I’m starting to enjoy Drew as a villain. IMO, GH hasn’t done a good job of having long term villains. They get a villain who is a criminal and then becomes a worse criminal (i.e. a murderer) so they have to eventually be murdered. Drew is a Q and anytime Qs can be front and center, I’m happy. I’m hoping GH realizes they can make Drew a villain and NOT be a criminal. I’m here for it. And yes, there is Sonny, but he’s the “mobster with a heart of gold” (insert barf here). I want a real soap villain who is sneaky and shady, but not a flat out criminal. And the fact that he’s a politician is really perfect. I wish people would give it a chance. I’d like to understand why Jcch (not picking on you, just asking) wants them gone? Should all characters that cause problems be gone? That makes for a boring soap. Personally, I’m cautiously optimistic that Drew could be a long term villain. And if things don’t work out between Ric & Ava, I’d love Drew & Ava be the town villainous couple.
Best comment here. The “I Hate Drew Crew” is a bit much. Drew has done no worse than the folks pointing the finger at him and the viewers who excuse those folks.
Drew character is awful waste of screen time. Write Drew off GH. The one and only Drew was the late Billy Miller. No one else can ever come close.
I hate the characters Drew and Willow and Nina on General Hospital. I wish they would all leave Port Charles and go to
Washington. I so hope that Drew and Willow lose their children to Michael’s family and Alexis’s.

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.
