GENERAL HOSPITAL: Michael Punches Drew and Now the Congressman Has the Leverage He Needs
Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) has continued to sink to new lows (if that’s even possible), and soon we believe everyone will be gunning for the guy, literally! In his next despicable move and seemingly hell-bent on revenge, and wanting to prove to Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) how instrumental he can be in her getting her children back, Drew sees an opening.
The moment occurs on the Friday, August 15 episode of General Hospital while Drew is meeting with Martin (Michael E. Knight) at the Metro Court and in walks Tracy who bumps into Stella (Vernee Watson), who then bumps into Michael (Rory Gibson) and Wiley (Viron Weaver).
Following, Wiley’s swim lesson, Michael tells Tracy they are here for a hot fudge sundae. Tracy, who saw Drew earlier, tries to convince them to go somewhere else. However, Michael, who spots Drew and glares at him, says they will stay put as he promised his son the sundae.

When Michael and Wiley go grab a table, Stella vents to Tracy. She thinks Drew has a lot of nerve showing up in public after all the trouble he is causing so many people. Stella can’t help but wonder why Tracy is helping a man she despises with Measure C. Tracy admits it’s to get rid of Sonny.
Meanwhile, Wiley tells his dad that he thinks Aunt Tracy is sad and misses Gio. At that moment, Michael goes over to talk to Tracy, leaving his son for a minute to enjoy his sundae, and that’s when Drew sees his opening. He heads over to the table and sits with Wiley and talks to him.
Eyeing Drew at the table with Wiley, he and Tracy head back over, where an upset Wiley says that his mommy misses him and why won’t he let him see her? Drew looks smug and happy that he has stirred the pot. Having had enough, Tracy goes up to the congressman and say she’s no longer backing him on Measure C. and vows to ruin him!

Next, Tracy takes Wiley to the pool, and Michael turns to Drew who says he doesn’t understand why Michael is so upset, when all he did was tell Wiley the truth about Willow. Martin tries to get Drew to back off, but Drew goes in for the kill, and asks Michael when he’ll stop lying to Wiley about his mother. Michael hauls off and punches Drew in the face. Happy as a clam, Drew has the ammo he needs against Michael and Sonny.
The congressman shows up at Sonny’s and tells the mobster that they need to talk about what he’s going to do for him. Otherwise, Michael will be arrested for assault! DA Turner (Nazneen Contractor), who happened to be there (and hid) will likely have something to say about this and from her interaction with Sonny in the episode, now clearly looks to be set up as Sonny’s new love interest, but is she?

Elsewhere, Jason (Steve Burton) arrives in Dalmatia at the Five Poppies Resort. After he gets there and is checking in, he finally comes face-to-face with Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), as the two stare at each other.
In addition, after Vaughan (Bryce Durfee) tells Josslyn (Eden McCoy), she will compromise the mission if she stays on in Dalmatia since she knows Britt, she leaves to go return back the tablet she stole which shows the map of the rooms at the resort. However, Vaughan is assaulted by room service, when a man comes at him with a gun complete with a silencer on it. Luckily, Josslyn shows back up, picks up the gun as Vaughan and the man get into a struggle and fires a shot. Most likely, Joss will prove what an asset she is by killing the guy and saving Vaughan and staying on the mission!

So, what do you think about Drew now? Do you think he is about to be murdered or at least there will be an attempted murder on his life? Are you ready for Jason and Britt to reconnect? Is Josslyn going to get the thumbs up from Vaughan to stay on at the Five Poppies Resort and continue their mission for the WSB? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Does he? He is about to blackmail Sonny with the DA in the next room…
Maybe they should get Josslyn some glasses the way she squinted before firing the gun.
Any advantage Drew has will be short-lived as Justine will overhear the blackmail and Willow has no chance once it comes out she targeted Daisy.
As often as Tracy complains about the kids, it was sweet seeing her interact with Wiley. They seem to be making Michael and Tracy closer which is nice to see.
Great facial expression from Kelly when Britt noticed Jason.
Outstanding styling in the episode for Portia and Felicia.
Why is everyone persecuting Drew? He’s a nice guy just trying to reunite mother and child.
The role of “Colon” is now being played by “Sam”.
Ha ha ha!! I could use the laugh. Thanks.
But Dex really was a nice guy.
Looking forward to someone finally performing the greatest of acts in Port Charles. Murder mystery coming up folks. Get rid of Cameron Matthison. Bad actor and useless character now that GH writers have changed the true persona of Drew. Bye bye Drew. Don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out.
Marco…here’s an idea: I think that MORE THAN HALF of Port Chuck’s characters should take turns SHOOTING that DISGUSTING DUM DUM Drew until Drew himself FINALLY DROPS DEAD!!!!!
You’re welcome.
Hey, not too many bullets! I don’t want my dragons to get lead poisoning when they eat him.

Nice guy x2 ? Just start watching ? He is quite despicable.
I would be happy to reunite Drew with his own child. Except Oscar’s not down here.
So many viewers are shrilling that Drew must go without recognizing how good Cameron has been playing the charismatic, evil and maniacal congressman. I think I underestimated his skill set as an actor, and now I find myself thoroughly entertained with his performance. He manages to be funny as he delivers his lines and seems to enjoy playing the villain. Cameron as bad Drew delivers his villainous lines with a wink and a smile and has maintained that earnest tone of voice. I’m in no hurry to get rid of Cameron’s bad Drew and vastly prefer him over good Drew-he’s more interesting.
Bad Drew is an oxymoron. Drew is nice.
100% agree with you Harry. People are so quick to say “oh he’s mean, kill him.” These shows are called daytime DRAMAS for a reason. He brings drama. All bad guys can’t be murderous. That gets old. I mean look at the last few murder storylines. Cyrus? The Hook? Austin? Let’s have a long term character who causes havoc without murdering. Look at the other soaps. GH needs a long term non-mob non-murderous bad guy. Drew is it. He’s a Q. He’s connected to so many. I think more people need to be more open minded about it.
The reason that most mortals have more disgust and contempt for Drew than the typical soap villain is because most of his evil deeds are committed against his own family. And children aren’t even off the table. He targeted both Wiley and Danny just this week.
There’s no way to redeem this guy. He’s not a new enough character to get the sudden 13 week rewrite. Like the ones Luke and Sonny got. Originally written as short term villains but became the legends who helped keep GH on the air decades later.
That ain’t Hallmark Drew.
I’m enjoying Drew. Sonny and Carly are the ones hanging on beyond their shelf life.
Well said Harry. Cameron has impressed me as well.
I didn’t like Drew even when he played a good guy.

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.
