GENERAL HOSPITAL: Can Willow Go Through With Her Wedding to Drew After Her Illusions are Shattered?
The Friday, July 25th episode of General Hospital left viewers with a wedding day cliffhanger, and this one is quite complex and twisted! After Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) learned from Curtis (Donnell Turner) that her mother, Nina (Cynthia Watros), was having an affair with Drew (Cameron Mathison) at the same time she was in a burgeoning romance with the guy, and had trashed her marriage to Michael (Rory Gibson), she has the mother of all showdowns with Nina.
Concurrently, Nina was ready to spill the beans to her daughter, but since Curtis got to her first, Nina is now on the receiving end of an emotional tirade from Willow. When Nina showed up at the room in the church where Willow was getting ready, Willow demanded the truth about her mother’s affair with Drew.
Nina finally fessed up making Willow lose it! Nina explained that she first hooked up with Drew in April of last year and that it lasted through August. At the time, she had no idea that Drew was attracted to her daughter. Now, Willow is horrified that while she was falling in love with Drew, he was hitting the sheets (or the Crimson office room floor and desk) with her mother!

Next, Nina tried to explain that she decided not to say anything since she and Willow were finally getting closer and establishing a mother/daughter bond. She explains that she didn’t love Drew and, in fact she they hate each other. In Nina’s mind, she wanted to try and save Willow’s marriage to Michael, by taking Drew out of the equation. However, once she saw how much Willow was falling for Drew, she backed off. Willow snaps back, “You watched as I threw away my marriage and my children for a man you knew was lying to me, and you said nothing?!”
To Nina, as time went on, the more she tried to dissuade her daughter from continuing her relationship with Drew, the more defensive Willow got and she wouldn’t listen to reason. Next, in a pivotal moment, an irate and fractured Willow tells her mother that if she would have been up front with her and told her she had been having sex with Drew, she would have dumped him and never lost her children in the process! Willow adds that she will never forgive Nina for making her lose the custody case for her children.

Coming apart at the seams, Willow is now devastated when the realization hits her that she sacrificed everything to be with Drew and now she has nothing. When Nina tells her she still has her mother, an angry and distraught Willow says that Nina doesn’t have a maternal bone in her body. She adds, “I envy Nelle. She died never knowing you were her mother. I wish I had been so lucky!”
Willow kicks her mother to the curb and out of her room at the church. Next, steely Willow sits in front of the mirror and has a series of flashbacks all the way up to when she told Drew she would marry him with the hopes of gaining custody of Amelia and Wiley.

Inside the church, Nina tells Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) that she is going to leave because there is not going to be a ceremony, but suddenly, the nuptials begin as Scout comes down the aisle, dropping rose petals. After her big moment, she gets a big hug and a kiss from Drew. As everyone awaits for the doors to open to reveal the bride, there is a long pause. Finally, Willow enters the church in her wedding dress. Drew looks happy, Willow looks calculated and Nina has no idea if her daughter will drop Drew at the altar or say her “I do’s!”
Earlier on Friday, TV Insider posted a chat with Cynthia Watros about where Nina thinks Willow is at by the end of today’s episode, “Not only is Nina hurt because she’s no longer in Willow’s life,” Watros shared, “but she’s also hurt because her beautiful daughter is sacrificing herself for her children, which mothers do, but Nina doesn’t feel like she has to do that, that that’s not the path Willow should take. But Willow believes that marrying Drew is the only way.”

So, what are your thoughts on the scenes between Willow and Nina, where she lets her mother have it for keeping the secret of her affair with Drew all these months? Do you think Willow will tie the knot with Drew on Monday’s episode of GH, or leave him at the altar? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
And don’t forget, Katelyn MacMullen will visit the Michael Fairman Channel live on Monday, July 28th at 7 pm ET/4pm PT in a joint chat along with Avery Pohl (ex-Esme GH) and their acting coach and soap alum, Holly Gagnier (ex-Ivy, DAYS, Cassie, OLTL and Jennifer, GH).
It was a great birthday present to see Willow tear Nina a new asshole! Now she needs to do with Drew as well.
I don’t agree, and I don’t appreciate your choice of language. Nina didn’t deserve that take down. Willow needs to accept the consequences of her own actions while examining why she was so easily manipulated by Drew. Nina did not make Willow lay down with Drew in the nursery.
I will apologize for my language, but my opinion still stands.
Willow screamed,” You lost me my children!” Willow was the one who made the choice to sleep with Drew on the floor of the nursery, to cross a state line with Michael’s children to visit her lover and not believing her son when he said Drew said that Michael doesn’t want him anymore. Willow has made a litany of choices that favored Drew over her children’s well being. To blame Nina for her actions is unforgivable- I don’t care how crazy she is.
I’m going to agree to disagree.
I hope Willow pulls a Derringer from her wedding bouquet and removes Drew from the equation. (I’m bad!!!!!!!!!!)
Amen!
If Willow decides to go scorched earth on Drew, hopefully she has the wherewithal to ask Alexis to take Scout home before reading him the riot act.
KMac communicated so much with her eyes today. A top notch performance.
I said it before and it happened. Willow blames Nina for something that occurred before Willow started her affair with Drew. I think Drew knew he wanted Willow when he was in a relationship with Carly and when he was having hate sex with Nina. They were used to get him to what he truly wanted. The guy is a sleaze! Willow got what she deserved and with Sasha gone I hope Michael does not look her way. Eventually, some other unsuspecting fool will come to her rescue!
Maybe it won’t be an unsuspecting fool. Maybe Aunt Liesl will set her straight. Lol
I wish Nina would hve told Willow that EVERYONE has been trying to tell her about all of Drew’s wrong-doings, but she wouldn;t listen. Case in point, this week when Portia told her about Drew wanting her to make it look like Michael is a drug addict. As anurse, Willow should have finally come to her senses. There is no one holding a gun to Willow’s head to make her first kiss, have sex in the nursery, leave Michael and all of the other things people have tried bringing to her attention. Stand tough Nina and make Willow realize that she has no one to blame except the person looking back in the mirror.
If Willow still marries Drew she’s an idiot. She needs to take a close look at herself and if goes through with wedding, she’s sick. Stop blaming just Nina and think long and hard at ALL the lies Drew has kept from her and told her.
Idiot = a person with a mentality less than a two year old child.
Willow has proven to be many things… but not an idiot. How about emotionally naive?

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.
