GH’s Katelyn MacMullen Explains Why Willow Can’t Seem to Extricate Herself from Drew
On General Hospital, viewers are increasingly frustrated and agitated that Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) can’t see the forrest through the trees, and that the man she supposedly loves, congressman Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), is as shady and manipulative as they come.
With everything Willow has gone through of late, including losing her children, Amelia and Wiley, in a custody battle to her ex-husband, Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), the story has increasingly added more twists and turns including, the revelation that Sidwell (Carlo Rota) paid off the judge to rule in Michael’s favor.
To shed some light on what is going in with Willow, actress Katelyn MacMullen visited this morning on Thursday, June 26th with ABC7 Chicago for a two-part interview. In part-one, she explains why Willow can’t seemingly get a clue and break things off with Drew.

Katelyn began, “I am also a huge fan of Cameron Mathison. I think he’s absolutely incredible, and I think the work he’s doing in the storyline is so impressive to me. The fact that he can be so earnest and then doing all these things where you’re like, what is going on with this guy? I love working with him. It’s interesting. I think Willow just doesn’t quite know who to trust and he’s a part of her circle of trust, and so she’s just kind of doubling down and, and listening to everything he says and taking that to heart.”
Viewers have noticed that it appears that Willow and Michael, now with Rory Gibson in the role, have a love/hate chemistry going on. MacMullen weighed-in on if there might be a future for the former marrieds down the line.
“I think it’d be really interesting to see how a couple could come back together after so much strife,” shared Katelyn. “It could be really interesting to see if the writers go in that direction. I think Rory is amazing. He’s doing such incredible work. He stepped into such such a heated storyline and had to know every character on canvas. The fact that he was able to step in and do the kind of work he’s doing is just a testament to his talent and he’s just been such a joy to work with.”

Recently, Katelyn delivered gut-wrenching scenes when the judge handed down her decision to give full custody to Michael, and she had what can only be described as some sort of mental breakdown. MacMullen shared how she got through the emotional scenes.
“I just did my prep with my coach and I have incredibly supportive friends here (at GH) and castmates who just took me into their (dressing) rooms and we would talk,” Katelyn explained. “We would be like ‘OK, maybe we could strategize about how to really represent this moment.’ And then, once you’re in it, you just kind of put it all to the side and just see what’s happening in the moment and just let it happen.”
Check out part-one of the conversation with Katelyn below.
Now let us know, how do you think Willow could extricate herself from the machinations of Drew? Would there be any way to stop this guy from coming back even if she dumped him? Do you see on-screen chemistry between MacMullen and nuMichael, Rory Gibson? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
They can try to prop up this delusional sick “relationship” all they want, but it’s not going to work. It would be easier to make a case for me to get my old job back in Heaven.
At least the failed Sonny & Nina pairing had the amnesia excuse to blame it on. There’s not even a “Tricky Dick Nixon Falls” element here, where Drew could prey on Willow’s mind in secret.
He’s obviously controlling her with drugs of some sort now, but even that doesn’t explain how this dragonshit started.
See ya soon, Hallmark Drew! We all know it’s coming….
Drew has been begging for it for several months. I think he deserves to be rewarded and should get it very, very soon. It would be very appropriate for Willow to deliver the well deserved axe.
He’s old enough to be her father. —makes my stomach hurt-and if that were not enough? Drew is the most creepy reptilian ever!!
Aside—-another stomach churning character? Portia—Karma is a biatch, baby.
Well, I expected an insightful analysis of Willow’s psychological makeup but instead we get a superficial commentary about how great Cameron is. And he is pretty great but the caption promises that Katelyn will offer some insight as to why Willow can’t extricate herself from that slithery creep Drew. Katelyn may be a very talented actress but viewers can offer a much better analysis of Willow’s cult like devotion to Drew.
The actress needs to learn how to cry on demand; it’s one of the first things you learn in acting.
She makes a crying face, and crying sounds, but there’s not a single glistening eye or tear to be seen. Her crocodile tears makes the scene fall flat.
I should have felt a lot of emotion when Willow lost her kids or when she was saying goodbye to Wiley at the pool, but I felt nothing. Peel an onion or poke yourself in the eye, but make the scene realistic!
If the truth of how Drew paid someone to turn Willow away from the burn clinic in Germany was to be discovered as by paid off by Drew and was not Michael and if the truth of how Wiley reveals that he heard Drew say this as well and if Nina would reveal to her that she was actually sleeping with him while he was pursuing her and the dirty deeds he has done to his ex partner of Aurora and the blackmail that Porsha is undergoing as a result of Drew these events are enough and now finding the prostitute race between Drew and Felicias hired PR to do will maybe leak. The manipulation of getting Drew to tey to take away Michael’s kids and convince her to marry him scheme maybe enough. I do see chemistry between her and Michael her ex-husband. The plot from the beginning was to break them up by Drew since he wanted to take back control of what he saw as he rightfully deserved.as to Sasha she and Jason will find their way to one another. Since they are leaving behind their old lives and ties to Port Charles crimelife. Return of Britt will proof to be her egg harvested with Dantes thus having left her son to be raised by them.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
