General Hospital’s Carly and Drew Break-Up as They Both Know the Truth: “You’re Going to Put Jason First Every Time”
It looks like the end of the line for GH’s Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) now that Jason (Steve Burton) is back in the picture as Drew finds out this week that his brother is alive. As viewers know, there has been trouble brewing in the relationship between the two since Drew’s personality change after he came back from his prison term, thanks to Nina (Cynthia Watros).
Drew has been hell-bent on making Nina pay, become super intense and his attitude shift has worried Carly. However, at this point, they had stayed together. Now comes the topper, Jason is back and Drew knows that his brother is always number #1 in Carly’s heart whether as a friend or in the romance department.
According to Soap Opera Digest in key scenes, Carly is a bit blindsided when Drew seeks her out knowing Jason is alive and upset that Carly didn’t tell him … and that of course, she will defend him when he is still being considered a suspect in Dante’s (Dominic Zamprogna) shooting.

Laura Wright explained as their argument escalates, “You see that the rug gets pulled out (from under Drew) the second Jason comes back. Drew is just like, ‘You’re going to put Jason first every time.’ And Carly says, ‘I can’t tell you that I won’t put Jason first.’” After that declaration is over, Drew tells Carly he can’t deal with that, and breaks up with her.
The quick break-up surprised even Wright and Mathison when they got their scripts, with at one point, Cameron texting Laura, saying (according to Wright), “What the hell?!”

Carly will spend no time trying to go after Drew at the moment, as her attention is squarely on finding and helping Jason, when it appears no one else is believing his innocence, including a doubting Sonny (Maurice Benard).
So, happy that Drew and Carly are about to break-up? Do you want them together? Where does this leave Jason and Carly? Will they ultimately be best friends again for life, but not a romantic couple on GH? Share your thoughts and hopes for the story between the two brothers and Carly via the comment section below.
the show is spiraling downward fast-from great stories to pretty bad ones
This is what the ‘new’ writers have planned: going back to Snarly, Sonny and Jason all the time, telling the same stories for the millionth time. And they wonder why nobody watches anymore.
(The ratings last week were almost below 2 mil again, so naturally his return will almost surely be higher, and the powers that be will spread the word that GH is back! )
Yawn.
Frankly, I find Drew very annoying and wouldn’t mind seeing him leave PC. Of course, that’s not going to happen because of Scout. But I really wish they could cut him from the cast and save the money. Let the flames of enraged fans begin. :0)
agree
I liked Billy Miller’s version of Drew, but unfortunately the writers reuined the character when they brought him back solely to be a love interest for Carly. Jason has always put both Sonny and Carly first, not just Carly. The love of Jason’s life is Sam, not Carly. I just hope the new writers don’t screw up and put Jason and Carly together. I’d rather he stay single and build a relationship with his two sons.
I agree!! Drew is the WORST!! Boring as, well you know , I can’t type it
I had a feeling that was coming.
YAY, a thousand times yay.
Time for Drew to leave. He never had chemistry with anyone especially Carly.
Drew is not going anywhere accept back into Carly’s arms where he belongs
Not a fan of Carly and Jason! Please don’t go there! They can be friends. I would rather she get back together with Sonny!
No way
I had believed actors were not allowed to comment on upcoming events, re the text message. None of these scenes have aired, well at least in Canada..
Well, it is Carly’s world, after all.
I never thought Drew and Carly had chemistry. It looked so forced and the fact that the powers that be put her with 3 brothers was bothersome. I’m all for the break up but no romance between Carly and Jason. Their relationship as besties is perfect. Now if we can just get Sonny out of his fog, away from Ava, and back to the Sonny we all love.
To be honest, several couples the old writers forced together don’t have chemistry. Carly/Drew, Sonny/Nina, Liz/Finn and some say Sam/Dante, but I like them together. But since this is the Carly show, the new writers may put Jason and Carly together.
I think Sam and Dante have incredible chemistry. They seem to me like a real comfortable; there’s an attraction and yet an ease between them. The relationship is equal; not “macho” man Jason leaving the lil lady at home as he plays enforcer with his favorite person in the whole world, Carly, and his father/brother/mentor, Sonny. Sam and Jason were great decades ago when they were the black clad motorcycle young rebels, but now, Sam is a mother of two and has a great, balanced, life with Dante. I’d hate to see her settle for second best again with Jason; she should never have left Billy Miller’s “Drew.” The show screwed that up; they were great together too.
Drew has gotten really squirrelly since Pentonville and his rabid desire to see Nina pay. I
wonder now though if he will turn that anger on Carly..Sam took Jason over him Ned now he told Carly he knows Jason will always come first.Cinsidering he went to jail for her I think I would be ticked if she dumped me. Will he decide to make Carly pay as much if not more than Nina since Carly won’t be the voice of reason anymore telling him to let his anger go.
It’s time for Cameron Mathison to depart. Had high hopes when his version of Drew debuted in captivity (with Liesl trying to escape Cassadine Island). Total lack of chemistry with Carly. Bad writing choices in never revisiting the Jason memories portion. It was like his Drew was an entirely different character than Billy Miller’s.
Aw Billly Miller. He was Drew 100%. Billy is remembered and very missed. Hope he is in a better place.
Very touching words Brian. The deaths of Billy and Tyler were so tragic and such losses.
I quit the show when Billy Miller left never will come back I expect CM to depart as others to cover Burtons salary
I don’t know who is being the bigger hypocrite right now… .its’ either Hallmark Drew, being jealous of the brother who saved his life… or TJ – who’s been peripherally involved in Corinthos Coffee LLC since he was a kid – with both of his parents working for Sonny at one point, and him being with Sonny’s niece most of those years – now suddenly worried about his bio baby mama being Sonny’s daughter.
Hopefully this is a parting shot of sabotage from the old writers, and NOT from the new team, or this is not a good sign at all. We do know the old writers were doing some history revisionism with NuJagger, so this crap from TJ & Drew would be consistent with that.
I wondered about that myself, kind of hypocritical ?
I also wondered if the old writers are to blame for the character inconsistencies. But after today, with Heather’s storyline, I fear it could be the new writers.
Since the new writers were listed on the opening credits of Friday’s episode, that should mean they are now completely on their scripts. So the new writers apparently decided they want to redeem Heather, but the way they are going about it is completely stupid. Just as it was when previous writers thought they could excuse serial killings with a brain tumor. Cobalt poisoning from a bad hip replacement would be even less likely to have such results.
And as far as redeeming Heather… she’s been psychotic since the late 70s, so nobody’s going to believe it if she suddenly becomes a completely sane grandma who wants nothing more than to take care of Esme’s poor baby who’s over a year old now and still doesn’t have an actual name.
Gonna give the new head writing team some props for correcting some of the wrong paths of the last decade+.
Alexis back on her path to a legal career.
Marshall’s misdiagnosis wrapping up with him likely on the way out of PC.
Carly at Crimson nixed before it fully took hold.
And yes, Heather. Was she unstable back in the day (yes – as commemorated in “Heather’s having an insane attack” line in General Hospi- tale”. She didn’t kill Diana Taylor – Heather’s mother did. She left town in the 80s as normal as Heather gets. It wasn’t until she returned to swindle Edward after Lila’s death (a horrible plot) that she became close to wackadoodle. Is the cobalt poisoning far-fetched? Sure, but it’s one of those cases where soaps can cause you suspend some disbelief.
Her making Laura her medical proxy without even mentioning Steven Lars was a bit off. I guess we’re supposed to assume he’s still incarcerated. As for family, Drew and Jason are distant blood relatives. Laura is her adopted niece by marriage (dating back 45+ years)!
The character of Drew as now played is horrendous. Needs to be recast. Jason was always Carlys protector. They are loyal to each other. LOVE sonny and Ava together. Completely over Nina’s whining and the character. Hate the whole Davis girls mess. Alexis needs a strong man and back to law. Would be nice to see Avery and Donna together and with Scout and Violet. Need to start building Aiden, Rocco, Jake, Charlotteand others storyline Emma should have been there for Spencer story, they were very close as kids. Like Joss and Dex, Maxie and Spinelli.
.
Drew and carly will break up and that will not happen. They promise me to be together as couple. And if was me to tell jason Drew and carly they are in leadership
I have a bad feeling that the so call new writers will just follow some mandate and turn the show again into the not so great 4some of Carly, sonny,jason and sam. everything will revolve around them, and its them against everyone, where they are always right about anything and everything, God, I hope I’m wrong but I’m bracing myself. Even Cameron Mathison knows that, he better pray they bring in Rebecca Budig, otherwhise he’ll be playing second fiddle to Steve Burtons Jason. meanwhile I’m gonna start praying the show “new” writers will prove me wrong and write a balance show.
As opposed to what it’s been the last two & half years, which was a complete toilet spiral.
Does that include all the Carly centric writing?
No, the last two years it’s been all Nina-centric writing. Most of which was about her obsession with Carly.
The “granny wars” as they’re referred to on social media have run their course. Both characters were equally prominent. Carly, however, had a much larger support group. Nina had Ava and the occasionally seen Valentin and no-longer seen Liesl.
That was the biggest mistake that Drew made bc of Jason and Carly, yes Jason comes first bc they have known each other for decades on the show, they are just friends nothing else other wise. Jason and Carly are not even married. Drew could still be with Carly and they should get back together. Jason and Nina will both pay for this since they are both responsible for their break up
Carly need to decide go back to drew they are to be together as a couple not gave on each other and drew need to away from nina she deserves go to jail where she belongs and carly and carly have more peace in leadership
I just started watching GH again. Back in the day. It was centered around the hospital and people that worked there. I hardly see the hospital anymore. I want something more.
Drew cain needs to look deep down inside of him and he can’t not to have a Leadship with Nina and Jordan. Only person to have Relationship with is carly spencer and to work on there problems
Drew and carly need to go back to be together again and start. They promise Me do not give up on each other.
Carly need to put draw frist in her life and nor jason. Drew is in love with carly
Drew and carly do not gave up on each other and you guys are belongs to together. And great Couple. To work on problems and it out. To have Batter Leadship on each other greatest Couple I know

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.
