GENERAL HOSPITAL: A Drugged Drew Makes a Scene as Nina and Portia Hope Their Plan Takes Him Down For Good
On the Tuesday, April 29th episode of General Hospital, did anyone have flashbacks to the classic “Libidozone” storyline on All My Children? That story also featured Cameron Mathison as Ryan Lavery who drinks too much of a spiked punch on his yacht and acts completely out of character.
Now on GH, Mathison as dirty and smarmy congressman Drew Cain, is about to be taken down several notches as Nina (Nina Reeves) and Portia (Brooke Kerr) initiate their plan to have the guy who has been threatening their lives in different ways. Portia gets the Ketamine to Nina. Next, Nina gives the vial over to the sex worker, Jacinda (Paige Herschell) to somehow get Drew in a comprising position with it.
After learning the Drew is at the Port Charles Grill with Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), she heads to the bar, and puts the vial of Ketamine into the drink Drew ordered. When Tracy leaves after their conversation about taking down Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Jacinda approached Drew’s table. He says that “drink was strong.” Jacinda says she would like to get to know Drew better and suggests they get out of the grill and go to somewhere less stuffy and more fun.

Next, Drew and Jacinda end up at The Savoy, where everyone is at for a night out on the town. Perhaps, the most entertaining part of the episode was the hilarious reaction shots of the cast as their characters are stunned as to what they are seeing going down with Drew’s public display.
Over at the bar, a drugged and drunk Drew calls out for shots. Jordan (Tanisha Harper), who is standing with Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Portia, says she has to stop this since she works for Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and he would be very disapproving of what is happening to Drew, so she tries to pry Drew away from Jacinda. However, that fails.

Now, Drew has loosened his shirt and tie as he hikes Jacinda up to the bar to drink body shots off of her while everyone looks on in distaste including: Lucas (Van Hansis) and Marco (Adrian Anchondo) who headed to The Savoy for some dancing. Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is also at the club spying and trying to get in the good graces of Professor Hank Dalton (Daniel Goddard), and Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Cody (Josh Kelly) are sitting at a table talking.

When the commotion begins Lulu, who now has a job as a reporter, takes out her iPhone and begins to film Drew licking shots off of Jacinda on top of the bar. Portia and Curtis look on hoping this moment will go viral and get Drew out of everyone’s hair. If you recall, Nina is expecting Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) to be back tomorrow from Germany, but something tells us from this week’s promo, she will walk in on this and see exactly how Drew is acting … or will she?

So, what do you think the upshot of Nina and Portia’s plan to incriminate Drew will ultimately be? Will it produce the results they had hoped for or still backfire somehow when he accuses someone of drugging him intentionally and perhaps takes them to court? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
Great… now Hallmark Drew is going to get invites to all of Elon’s Ketamine parties.
Mathison looked like he was having fun filming those scenes. It was nice to have a large part of the cast there to witness it as well.
Also on this episode, I reflected on how much I’ve come to appreciate Gio (and his portrayer). Mazza is growing as an actor in this role – very similar to how Haley Erin grew in her time as Kiki. He and Bradyn (Emma) have great chemistry and he’s quite comfortable in scenes with vets like Burton and Eliot.
As much as I despise Drew and want him to be gone, I think this will backfire because the writers just won’t end this long, drawn out storyline. And Willow is so stupid and living in never never land, she won’t believe Drew would do this to her and will forgive him. Therefore, this storyline will drag on and on and on…….
Writers, please end this . I’m sick of it
This was the medicine we needed. Drew suddenly acting all belligerent and sloppy drunk and then proceeding to start slurping shots off that young lady’s stomach was hilarious. Adding to the hilarity was the collective looks of askance washing over the bar’s patrons. And a special shout out to Lucas whose expression of calm amusement injected more comedy into this scene. Well played by all!
Harry…AGREED!!!!! I could not stop laughing. LOL
I hope this is the beginning of Drew’s downfall. But this being a soap, who knows what lame excuse they’ll have for getting him out of this one. I hope not. I would love to see the fallout played.
Oh Drew… it is not good to be so high in public ! But I did enjoy watching you with all your Inhibitions gone with that shot of “Special K”
What a stupid plan. Trusting a femme de nuit? It would have been much simpler for Nina to come clean and divulge her dirty trysts with yucky Drew. Ewww. This will blow in their faces—-I don’t care about Portia. Can’t stand her holier-than-thou attitude. Poor Nina.
I agree! But still, it appealed to my warped sense of humor. I even laughed when a shocked Twitto came upon Drew and the prostitute.
These scenes of Drew “loosening up” were great and made me laugh out loud. I truly do hope this is the beginning of his downfall . Or at least his humbling.
I don’t care about Drew’s (so-called) humbling. I’ll happily settle for his downfall. LOL Tick Tock Tick Tock…
Hey, Jay—You and I both—-Drew is revolting—It looks like Tracy is getting the blame for drugging him. Willow is a fool —grow up.
Aside—Rocco drank himself into a stupor. As I said on another site, he will need a transfusion. Finally, the truth about Giò will be known.
Sorry, but these scenes really sat wrong with me; surely, a shot glass could have been available instead of doing the shot DIRECTLY off of the under-five’s body, no?
Drew did call out “Let’s do body shots”. If you google “body shots” the term is defined as ” pouring alcohol in a person exogenous zones and licking / sucking it up”.
Ha ha ha ha ha! You learn something new everyday!
I am so naive. I always thought body shots was when you just placed the shot glass on the person’s stomach. I didn’t know there was no glass involved. That must have been awkward for Cameron and the actress. Yikes.
I guess I’m a cheap date (or I just really need some levity) because I thought it was ridiculously funny. Between Drew’s buggy eyes while acting like an out of control game show host, and Lucas’s bemused expression, I was roaring with ribald laughter.
Lol. “Out of control game show host”.
I absolutely lived it!
I was laughing and cheering. It was great.
s/b loved
Yeah—I would find it funny, too, if it were anyone else but Drew/Cameron. I want to see him fall dooown low!! And take Willow with him.

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.
