GENERAL HOSPITAL: Drew Coerces Willow to Sign Legal Guardianship of Wiley and Amelia Over to Him if Something Should Happen to Her; Casting More Doubt if This is the Real Drew?
On General Hospital, Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) latest move, while some can see it as the countermove to Carly’s (Laura Wright) threats to take Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Amelia away from Willow, could actually be a sign of something bigger, but is it?
At the conclusion of the Monday, April 14th episode of the ABC daytime drama series; Willow is concerned that Carly will push Michael to be very aggressive to get sole custody of Amelia and Wiley, when he returns from Germany. She expresses her concerns to Drew, that Michael could come back and go at her for the kids, or even worse, Carly could try to take the kids from her. Willow suggests to Drew, they make a compromise with Carly.
A reassuring Drew promises Willow that nobody will take her children, and even if something happens to her, he’ll stop Carly and Tracy (Jane Elliot) or anyone from taking the children. Willow says he can’t promise that, but Drew says, “yes, he can.” Next, he holds up a document. When she asks what it is, Drew explains these papers would make him the legal guardian of Wiley and Amelia should something happen to her.

Drew throws in there that if something should happen to him, it makes Willow, the legal guardian of his daughter, Scout. She says this is a huge step, but says she, “trusts him more than anyone in the world to look after her kids.” Drew has a pen ready and Willow signs the documents.
For months, GH fans have been wondering if the Drew that came back from prison is the real Drew Cain. In the story, Drew went to the slammer to protect Carly whom he was romantically involved with at the time for SEC insider trading; allin an effort to not separate her from her kids. When he came out of prison, slowly but surely, the character had turned into one smarmy politician, who is manipulative and egotistical.

Fans have predicted that perhaps, the one person who had a deep connection and was formerly obsessed with Willow was the cult leader Shiloh (Coby Ryan McLaughlin). Back in 2019, Sam (Kelly Monaco) shot Shiloh (aka Hank Archer) in the back, and he went overboard of the Haunted Star to death. However, his body was recovered and appeared very much dead. But on soaps, as have seen this before, bodies have been switched, etc.
In addition, with the rumors persisting that GH has recast the role of Michael Corinthos (last played by Chad Duell); could it be that Michael will return and save Willow from the clutches of this mad man, who had plastic surgery to look like Drew, and take over his life? If that is not the story, and Drew just continues in his hateful, spiteful-mode, and the character turn as played by Cameron Mathison, will just be explained as the evolution of the guy based on circumstances that changed him into the ma everybody loves to hate?

Meanwhile, and also on Monday, Cameron Mathison visited his old All My Children castmates, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on the syndicated morning talk show Live with Kelly and Mark from their new studio digs in New York City. During his segment, Mathison discussed how hated he is by the fans as Drew, and that the only other time he felt this disdain from the audience is when Ryan Lavery tried to come between Hayley and Mateo on their former ABC soap opera. Ripa says that on GH, Drew had turned like, “Spoiled milk!” You can check out that clip below.
So, what do you think is going on here? Is this the real Drew Cain in action? Could Drew actually be Shiloh or someone else? Share your hopes for the story via the comment section below.
Look, if you remember back when Franco was given Drew’s memories, he was a different Drew versus Billy Miller’s Drew. This, to me, is Drew ultimately. This is Drew pre-memory mapping, which makes the role an easier one to let go of.
Yes, I agree. We got a glimpse of the real Drew when Franco had Drew’s memories. He revealed to Jason that he knew he was his twin brother since they were teens and hated him and the Quartermaines for abandoning him. A few months ago, after Jason beat Drew’s butt, Drew whined about how the family forgives Jason for everything but couldn’t forgive him. He is so jealous that they love Jason and Michael more than him.
It would make more sense if the beating in prison brought back Drew’s original memories and personality. The kind, good, honest man we all knew as Drew, was a version of Jason Quartermaine. He had Jason Quartermaine’s personality. When he was beaten up, Drew’s real personality emerged little by little once he felt betrayed first by Michael, for keeping Nina’ssecret. When Jason returned, his jealously emerged. That’s why he dumped Carly when he guessed she helped Jason.
This is just the real Andrew Cain.
Drew is definitely not Shiloh. Shiloh is still here in Hell, cleaning out my dragon stables at this very moment. Also, you might remember that Shiloh was significantly shorter than Hallmark Drew. Not even the most gifted plastic surgeons can make a mortal taller!
Apparently height doesn’t matter as the latest incarnation of Drew is a few inches taller than his one time identical brother.
Now, if they somehow retcon Cyrus into being a follower of Shiloh, that would explain the Sam murder better than what’s been presented so far.
Far fetched, but in soap land plausible… In researching Drew’s files, Brad could discover Drew’s blood type miraculously changed after he was assaulted in Pentonville.
Willow is the stupidest person on the planet. Moving in with her boyfriend when she can risk losing the kids? Moronic
good points!
Billy Miller was shorter than Cameron Mathison so physical similarity is very often ignored when a new actor takes over a role. Look at Sean Kanan to Billy Warlock’s AJ, or Tabyana Ali to Sydney Mikayla’s Trina. They are nothing alike from skin tone to height. So if “Drew” is really “Shiloh” we’ll just have another with our ability to suspend disbelief on all things soap…
Drew as Shiloh could be a red herring as it seems too obvious. Drew wanting custody of Willow’s kids is totally a Shiloh move. Still, if it turns out not be Shiloh, I would hope they’d still exam the psychological makeup that allowed Willow to be so vulnerable to Drew’s brainwashing. Paging Dr Kevin Collins!
Yeah, Kevin sure picked the wrong time to take a “vacation” somewhere in the suburbs of Washington DC, didn’t he? Willow’s lost her mind, Kristina is about to be sent to the looney bin, probably a whole lot of people are going to need a shrink by the time the fiddling pool boy’s parentage thing becomes public knowledge… and the only psychiatrist in Port Charles is AWOL??
Though I have a feeling his role on that show won’t be long term, since it was revealed he’s not really a bad guy, but a police informant pretending to be the bad guy. Which means he’s almost guaranteed to be killed off soon.
Boy, I hope you are right about Kevin. I hate his part on BTG as a Casino owner, trying to get this Surgeon to gamble away all his money to make him beholden to him, while trying to romance his wife in the meanwhile. I miss Kevin more, every time I see him as this Slimeball!
I don’t think it matters whether Jon Lindstrom is on BTG or not; “Kevin” hasn’t been on the show in years. Lindstrom has a good run when they brought Ryan back, but then Lindstrom was basically gone from the show. I don’t know if it’s a behind-the-scenes issue, if it was their decision of Lindstrom’s but Kevin exists in name-only on GH at this point. They should either recast (which I surprise even myself for saying because “Kevin” has always been one of my favorite characters and I’ve loved Jon in the role. But if it’s his decision to part ways, I think they should recast. If not? They should should either bring him back on or write the character off and give Laura a chance to have an actual relationship. The woman is constantly without her husband; even when she sat in the hospital waiting to see if Lulu survives; then if Lucky would survive. He’s not at any of her public political speeches; he said welcome back to Lulu upon her return as if she’d just been on vacation, and then he exited. The character’s absence is glaring…
I’ve been telling my GH group that I believe this is Shiloh reincarnated because He was infatuated with Willow and whats better than to seduce her, get her to move in, do mind over matter things with her and now have her sign over her kids to him. It’s was always a control thing with Shiloh.
And if that’s not the storyline, then I believe that Elizabeth found out something in her report about Drew that Ava currently has. Portia and Brad are going to find it out and then it will be revealed that Drew is either, Shiloh or Franco (both reincarnated). Either way, that’s not good for the people of Port Charles. That’s my theory. What do you think?
It sounds like something Ron Carlivati would come up with.
I think the Shiloh rumors are way off. How long was Shiloh on the show? Why bring him back in a ridiculous way. GH needs a villain who is not irredeemable (i.e. a murderer, kidnapper, etc.). Every villain they bring on goes too far whether it’s Alcazar, Victor, Cyrus and currently Sidwell. Murderous types vs just a-holes. Drew is an a-hole. And I know people complain about it, but it’s good to have someone like that on canvas. In story with Willow, it does show similarities with how Willow is with men – easily controlled. I do hope Nina blurts out “I SLEPT WITH DREW” soon.
I do too. Nina, despite being backburned in a story where she should be on the front burner, is a very sympathetic character right now. She’s all alone, and now Drew appears to be taking her grandchildren away while dismissing her as if she were a nuisance after he had intimate relations with her. The brilliant Cynthia Watros really proved the drama teacher’s mantra that there are no small parts, only small actors as seen with her intensely sad looking face after Drew kicked her out and after hearing Carly and Willow speak so callously about Nelle. Nina reassured Willow that she’s nothing like her sister while trying to keep her intensely sad emotions in check. She’s repressing way too many emotions which in reality would eventually blow like a boiling tea kettle. I hope the writers involve Nina in the climatic action involving the Drew and Willow story, and she doesn’t just serve as background like some forgotten potted plant.
How about GH stop reinventing the character of Drew ( pick a last name ) and be done with him once and for all? He has become as boring and repetitive in his actions as Cyrus was.
And don’t even get me start on Willow signing custody of the kids to him… can’t wait til she finds out how he betrayed her with her own mother… but I don’t look forward to Nina’s whining to justify why she didn’t tell Willow in the first place.
Ah, I love Nina. I realize I’m in the minority but I don’t see her as a whiner at all. She just wants familial contact with her surviving daughter after being denied contact with her since birth.
I love nina too and hopes she gets through to her daughter soon. She is holding it all in.
Thank you, Sheila. Good to know I’m not the only one sitting out here on this limb.
There was no coercion. Willow is tofu. She takes on the characteristics of anyone she is with until the next character comes along. Dastardly Drew didn’t have to coerce her – he put the idea out there and she ran to it/with it. I used to love her character. She has become ridiculously ridiculous in her ridiculousness.
Love your comment, Linda, although I didn’t understand the tofu simile. Possibly because I haven’t cooked with tofu enough to catch the analogy.
To me it resembles rubber or Play Dough. Can’t understand anyone eating it willingly.
Tofu aborbs the flavour of what it is being cooked with.
Thank you, GH Fan! I did not know that. Now that simile makes perfect sense. And hah! Viola! With a little cilantro, fresh ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar and lime juice, tofu is tolerable…but just barely.
Also.. I don’t dislike Nina at all… just when she speaks by dragging out a word… I know that up coming scene will be like “willlllow plllleasssse forgivvvvve meeeeee” when it finally comes out that she was also sleeping with Drew.
This is the real Drew, just like this is the real Willow. They deserve each other at this point. Those poor kids don’t deserve either of them. She’s such an idiot for signing over Michael’s kids to his sleazy uncle. While Drew did pay off the receptionist at Michael’s clinic, I can’t believe Willow’s surprised that Michael wouldn’t want to see her or have anything to do with her again. lol She’s STILL acting like the victim with her, “Drew would never treat me this way!” LOL As long as you stay with him, he won’t. You cheated on Michael with him, threw away your marriage for this and are now giving him Michael’s kids. The minute you leave sleazy Drew, he will absolutely treat you that way – probably even worse.
They can’t recast Michael fast enough (or however they intend to bring Michael back) for me, because I’m so sick of this disgusting storyline. I really need to see Michael bury Willow and Drew. Cameron Mathison is doing an excellent job, though. Drew is loathsome.
Drew should ack willow to married her and willow should say yes she married to drew they will be have my protection from me to make that decision
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Elizabeth Thinks of Dante While With Ric; Will She Leave Her Ex in the Dust?
Clearly, head nurse Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) is trying to deny her feelings for Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) on General Hospital, when she is trying to make up for missed opportunities and dates with her former husband, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst).
On the Friday, November 6 episode, Elizabeth arrived at the Metro Court for her date with Ric. She made sure she thanked the legal eagle for taking care of her house on Halloween when she was called into work.
However, while telling Ric this, Elizabeth is struck by a flashback of her and Dante baking in her kitchen, where a very close encounter almost led Dante and Elizabeth to kiss. After shaking that image off in her head, she goes back to her date with Ric, who is being very sweet to her.

ELIZABETH HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT RIC
Their date gets interrupted when Lulu (Alexa Havins) shows up at their table asking Elizabeth to convince Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) to drop the libel case against her.
Later, when Liz talked with Willow, and Willow shared she appreciated the head nurse looking out for her, she asks her friend if Ric is the kind of man she wants her life?
Willow is pointing out, as she had in her relationship with Drew (Cameron Mathison), does Ric really love Elizabeth … or is he using her to get what he wants? That comment puts more doubt in Elizabeth’s mind over reconnecting with Ric, and giving her more credence to follow her feelings for Dante.
So, where is this leading? Will Elizabeth cut things off with Ric? If so, will he snap? Is Ric using Elizabeth? And what about Dante? Are you enjoying the growing closeness between Elizabeth and Dante, or do you prefer Elizabeth with Ric? Let us know in the comment section, But first, check what went down on Ric and Elizabeth’s dinner date which lead to more questions than answers below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Tracy Leaves Port Charles to Help Dillon; Paving the Way for Jane Elliot’s Temporary Exit
General Hospital viewers became concerned when on the Thursday, November 5 episode, Tracy (Jane Elliot) was preparing to leave Port Charles to go help her son, Dillon Quartermaine, who got arrested while trying to film in Thailand.
Tracy informed Jason (Steve Burton), that she had to leave and was counting on him to look after things while she was away. That included: making sure Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and baby Phoebe were safe from the likes of Jude Jax (Wil Traval) as well as the Quartermaine businesses since Ned (Wally Kurth) still can’t overexert himself since his heart attack.
In Tracy’s final scenes, for now, she tells Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Emma (Braedyn Bruner) to be there for Brook Lynn while she is going through her ordeal after divorcing Chase (Josh Swickard) and Jude trying to claim baby Phoebe.

HOW LONG WILL JANE ELLIOT BE GONE FROM GENERAL HOSPITAL?
However, GH fans! Have no fear. Tracy’s exit was written into the show to facilitate Jane Elliot’s annual vacation. Same time last year, Elliot exited the canvas around this time after the entire Ronnie Bard/Martin Grey debacle; where they conspired to make it look like Monica left the Quartermaine mansion to her sister, Ronnie (Erika Slezak) instead of Tracy. In that storyline, Tracy took off for a spa in France for some much-needed R&R.
Now, according to Soap Opera Digest, while viewers are just seeing the beginnings of Jane Elliot’s temporary leave, the soap opera confirmed that the long-running star is already back taping new episodes. GH roughly runs about six weeks ahead of air in its production schedule.

ALL ABOUT JANE
Jane Elliot started her GH journey back in 1978, and has come and gone a few times including an announced retirement back in 2017, only to eventually come out of retirement a few tines, and rejoin the show full-time in 2023.
Along the way, Elliot has won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress back in 1981, and in 2025 was honored for her 50 years of excellence in daytime television becoming a Gold Circle honoree from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Michael Fairman TV spoke to Jane at that time, immediately after receiving her honor on-stage. You can check out that interview here.
Now below, watch scenes from Thursday’s GH where Tracy informs Jason she has to leave the country and go help her son.
Then let us know, with the mention of Dillon Quartermaine on today’s GH, will the soap opera FINALLY recast the role? Will you miss Jane while she is off-screen? Glad to know she is already back taping all-new episodes of the ABC daytime drama series? Let us know in the comment section.

GH’s Finola Hughes and Laura Wright Tease Anna/Valentin/Carly, “It’s Not Your Typical Triangle, We’ll Say That”
On General Hospital, Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) are now dealing with the fallout of their discovery, the dead body of Jack Brennan. While Carly became a suspect, now the two need to figure out just who was responsible for the former WSB Port Charles Bureau chief’s sudden ending.
Meanwhile, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is trying to put her shattered life back together, after almost killing Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), hallucinating she was seeing a dead Peter August (Wes Ramsey) and trying to shake off years of trauma at the hands of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).
While it has become apparent that Valentin and Carly love each other, the same holds true for Valentin and Anna, but is it differently, now that the former lovers are apart? However, it appears when Anna is in trouble, Valentin shows up to save her. That is not lost on Carly, who up until now has tried to be adult about the whole situation, but how long will that last?

Michael Fairman TV caught up with both Daytime Emmy-winning Lead Actresses on the red carpet at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards and asked them to weigh-in on what viewers can expect, and what’s it has been like working with leading man, James Patrick Stuart.
Laura Wright explained, “James is hilarious. I would say most of our dress rehearsals are laughing it out because we’ve got to show up for taping, but he’s very funny.” Finola Hughes echoed that with, “He’s a very funny person, always,” adding, “I couldn’t be in a scene with him and Amanda Setton (Brook Lynn, GH). It was him, me, and Amanda one time. We couldn’t get through the scene!”

The discussion turned to if GH viewers will see Anna and Carly fighting over the love of Valentin. Laura Wright shared, “Not in the way you would think. It’s not your typical triangle. We’ll say that.” Finola Hughes concurred, “It’s not your typical triangle!”
Watch our chat from the red carpet with Finola and Laura below, and make sure to check out all the moments from Michael Fairman TV at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards here.
