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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
