GENERAL HOSPITAL: Drew Gets Even More Despicable (If That’s Even Possible) and Secretly Keeps Willow From Seeing Michael
On Friday’s April 26th episode of General Hospital, Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) trip to Germany to see Michael Corinthos takes a deceitful turn. After getting to the clinic, the administrator tells Willow that she is sorry she came all this way, but Michael told her that he doesn’t want to her.
Willow tries to tell the woman that she needs to try again. She came all the way from the United States to discuss their children. But, no matter what the woman says, Willow cannot make any headway.
Next, Willow calls Nina (Cynthia Watros) upset that Michael wont see her and is seemingly cutting her out of his life. An angry Willow says she shouldn’t have traveled and come all this way to see Michael. She says that this is exactly the way Michael would handle things with her previously, shutting her out.

As Nina listen to Willow, she and Portia (Brook Kerr) have a sex-worker in Nina’s office, who they are going to now pay handsomely for her to take some incriminating photos with Drew, in an effort to get rid of his blackmail attempt on Portia and get him out of their lives (or so they think).
After Willow leaves the clinic, the administer of the burn clinic makes a phone call to Drew. He picks up and she informs him that she did what he asked and informed Willow that her husband did not want to see her. Drew says her payment is on the way.
At some point (down the line), it will have to be revealed that Drew lied, or it will be Michael’s word against Drew and Willow (who continues to be duped by Drew), who will have to try to figure out the truth, or who to believe. This turn of events certainly sets up the day for the rumored new Michael to return and to shock Drew and Willow. But when it will it happen? The Nurses’ Ball … or at some other major moment?

Fans are still seemingly split if Cameron Mathison is playing the skewed real Drew Cain, or if this Drew is an imposter wearing a prosthetic mask (which we have seen on the soaps before or someone (Shiloh, has been most mentioned) who had plastic surgery to look like Drew. No matter what, Drew is currently now the most despised character going.
So, what did you think when you saw the burn clinic administrator call Drew and that she was on the take to keep Willow from seeing Michael? Did you throw things at the TV or your screens, or was it just another machination in the life of the congressman to you? Comment below.
Despicable pretty much says it for me. Drew is not right in the head. It’s just so heartless.
I haven’t watched GH in quite a while and it appears nothing has changed. Drew is still a dastard and Willow is still dim-witted!
Drew is still a bastard, I meant to write.
Dastard works too. Dastardly Drew!
I Agree I don’t understand how a girl like her can be so Dumb and be a Mother
If they go the Shiloh route, it will be totally ridiculous! Colby Ryan McLaughlin is 5’9 and Cameron Mathison is 6’2! I know it’s a soap and anything is possible.
I think the Shiloh route is just something created by someone online and it (for some reason) has taken off. There’s absolutely no reason for it to be Shiloh. He was a nothing character and it’s nonsensical for it to be Shiloh.
That’s exactly what it was. In fact it started in one of those idiotic YouTube channels generated by Chinese bots who get literally everything wrong, 666% of the time.
He was not a nothing character; he’s was the father of Willow’s son and it would make sense if he was back for him to want to take Michael’s son and con/seduce Willow as he did in the past. It would be the ultimate soapy story for Shiloh to return and for Willow to be sleeping with and seemingly in love with the man she despised and ran away from.
Don’t like Drew German rid of him
Very upset. I hope they ruin Drew soon
So bored of drew and ave getting away with there crimes I stopped watching
Maybe they’ll flashback to Cyrus having brainwashed Drew in prison. Or someone re-triggered one of Helena’s spells on him.
More like his brain injuries from the prison beatdown somehow reactivated the chip that Helena put in his brain. Don’t remember if he was actually chipped or not, but it’s the type of thing that a Cassadine would do.
Yes , Drew has got to go & willow too.let Sasha & Michael have a chance.but we do need to find Jason a woman, not Willow , she needs to leave the show with Drew Michael gets the kids & Drew & willow move to DC
OMG. Will this Willow/Drew mess ever end??! Enough already. How can he continue to get away with everything, destroying so many peoples lives. This lousy, drawn out storyline needs to END. IDC if he’s Shilo, no low, whoever. Please bring Michael back and get rid of Drillow!!! Send Nina packing with them.
Why do viewers want every character whose story arc is pissing them off to “leave the show.” There’s no reason for Willow to exit; she has children and she’s Nina’s daughter. It would be even more cruel (I didn’t think that was possible) to Nina to have had both her children taken from her at birth, one dead, the other rejected her, to FINALLY have the beginnings of a relationship only to have Willow exit. No; Nina needs a break. She needs to have a relationship with her daughter and her grandchildren.
Tired of this storyline
Always liked Cameron on AMC, also when he first came to GH. Now he (as Drew) is beyond disgusting. I can’t stand to watch him, especially when thinking about the character when Billy Miller played Drew
I know. That’s my struggle too…. remembering Billy’s version of Drew. And it’s so sad what happened to Billy, r.i.p. I understand the writers if they wanted to try to find a way to distance Cameron from the original Drew and from Billy, but I think it’s a losing battle.
What’s the point since Michael is off the show
According to casting rumors… he won’t be gone for too long
To paraphrase Mia Farrow at the end of Rosemary’s Baby, “ What have you done to their eyes!!!!?” Looking at that picture featured above, one will find that both Willow and Drew’s eyes look droopy, somnolent and somewhat brainwashed. I don’t know if that was a happy accident or if it’s willful on the part of the director and writers but it’s still out there.
Drew is shrewd paying someone to block Willow from visiting Michael
Can’t for the end of Drew
Yeah.. this clinic is supposed to be so secure that you need a recommendation from the WSB to even get in as a patient. But some rando can make a phone call and say “Hey I’m a US congressman who has yet to even show up for my job 6 months after the election, but do what I say and I’ll send you a bribe or something”. And the employees of that clinic fall for it??
Is anyone else bored and disgusted with this never-ending Drew story?
The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.
Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.
Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.
The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

Now, Antonio has taken to his Instagram breaking his silence on the situation, sharing, “At this time, my family and I are navigating an extremely sensitive and deeply personal matter.”
He added, “As a father, my love for my children remains unconditional, and my priority is the well-being of my family. We ask that the public and members of the media honor our privacy during this difficult time and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
The soap alum concluded, “I also wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the gentleman who tragically lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well. We sincerely appreciate your compassion, understanding, and respect for the privacy of everyone affected.”
Jack Sabáto was arraigned in court on Tuesday, November 10 with bail set at $5,000, and a no-driving order and the potential of $5,000 penalty fees if he fails to attend future court appearances.
Antonio is the father to Jack, 34, daughter, Mina Sabato, 24 and son, Antonio Sabáto III, 15.
This is a developing story. You can check out Antonio’s official statement below.

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ava’s (Maura West) daughter Avery looks quite different, starting on today’s November 9 episode of General Hospital. That’s because GH has made Avery into a full-blown teenager and the role is now being played by actress Alya Bullington.
In her debut, the Tennessee native was thrown into the deep soap waters with Daytime Emmy winners, Maurice Benard and Eden McCoy (Josslyn). Bullington weighed-in to TV Insider about her first scene which featured Avery overhearing a fight between Sonny and Josslyn.
She explained “It was something I have never done before, I did not have a lot of experience with the screaming and the crying stuff, but I got my first script, and I was like, ‘OK, this is a huge opportunity to learn so much about how that stuff works and to become this character that I have never even tried playing before.’”

THE TEENAGED VERSION OF AVERY WILL HAVE A LOT TO CONTEND WITH
Speaking of working with McCoy, Bullington shared, “She’s incredible. I remember her just laughing and making jokes on set, and then the minute that they started taping, she just locked in and she cried immediately, and my first thought was, ‘I want to be able to do that.’
The soap opera newcomer added, “I think she just inspired me so much because she is so great and she can just lock into whatever character she wants to in the moment.”
The character of Avery was born back in 2014, but as recently as the October 8 episode of General Hospital, the character was suddenly referred to as a teenager. This is the second young female character in recent months to be aged up following the casting of Kayden Brenna Tokarski as Scout Cain.
As for her take on Avery and what’s ahead, Alya said,“She’s emotional, and she’s curious, and she’s a really fun person to play because so much stuff is happening in her life. I think she’s kind of confused about what’s happening and what to believe.”
So, what do you think about General Hospital making Avery a teenager? Are you excited to see the conflict between Sonny, Ava and Avery now that they have aged up the character? Share your thoughts and welcome Alya to GH via the comment section below.
