GENERAL HOSPITAL: What Does Drew Have in the Vial, and Who Might He Use It On? Plus, Is Jason a Bad Dad?
On the Friday, May 9 episode of ABC’s General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison), who was completely set-up by Portia (Brook Kerr) and Nina (Cynthia Watros) to act a fool in public, (thanks to Jacinda spiking his drink with Ketamine) is on the warpath to clear his name and to exact revenge.
We already know he paid Brad (Parry Shen) handsomely to get him what he wanted and needed to be able to continue to blackmail Portia. After Drew earlier threatened Portia at the hospital, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) runs into him When she goes to hug her man, but gets poked with something inside Drew’s jacket.
Next, Drew pulls out a small manila envelope and gives it to Willow. Inside of it is a small vial of liquid, presumed to be Ketamine, but is it? Drew’s story is the doctor just gave it to him as sort of a vitamin infusion to help him get his body back on track after being drugged. Willow continues to believe anything this guy says as he looks very suspect.

So, what is Drew going to do with what’s in the vial? Is he going to turn the tables on Portia and potentially Nina, and have them act out on the drug? Did Drew like how he felt on Ketamine and actually wants more of it? If it’s not Ketamine, but something else, does he plans to use it on someone? Stay tuned.
Elsewhere, after his confrontation with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), over their sons, Rocco (Finn Carr) and Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), and how Danny was not there for his brother, when Rocco drank too much and left him alone at the PCU beach party, Jason (Steve Burton) is left wondering if he is a deadbeat dad. After all, Rocco almost lost his life, and Danny is an adrenaline junkie just like Jason.
In a later conversation with Lois (Rena Sofer), Jason realizes he can’t keep being part of the mob and Sonny’s side man at the expense of not being there enough for his son, especially while he is a teenager, and after the heartbreaking loss of his mother, Sam McCall.

Jason also has a separate discussion with a pregnant Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) where he learns that Willow flew to Germany to see Michael. He thinks Willow backed-out, but Sasha says she just saw Willow at the hospital and found out that when she got to the clinic in Germany, Michael refused to see her. That piques Jason’s interest as he begins to think that something is up. Will he figure out that Drew was behind Willow and Michael not seeing each other in Germany?
At the end of the episode, Jason comes to see Sonny (Maurice Benard) and learns that Sonny seems to be considering selling the pier to Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). Will these two finally get out of the “business”?
Now let us know, what do you think Drew is going to do with whatever drug is in the vial? Do you think Jason is a responsible enough father when it comes to Danny? Weigh-in via the comment section but first check out the scenes where Dante confronts Jason over his son’s actions.
I don’t think Jason is a bad dad, but in his brain damaged “Jason Morgan” worldview, he doesn’t quite understand yet the need for solid boundaries and consequences with teens. He’s built a good connection, and Thursday’s episode saying the in person or phone check-in’s nightly at 9, no exceptions, are a good beginning, but there still needs to be more monitoring.
My fear is that the writers are setting up a Jason/AJ redux/echo with Rocco ending up getting permanently hurt and Danny doing it and turning into the “AJ”.
As for Drew, I wouldn’t put it past him to expose Portia to everyone and all her deeds with the info Brad gave him while dosing her with more ketamine, also from Brad, which I’m pretty positive is in the vial.
Drew is trying really hard to end up in Hell by the end of “May sweeps”.
It’s not that we really want him down here all that much, but you can’t really go out of your way to piss off every mortal in Port Charles and expect to stay on that side of Earth’s crust for very long.
By appearances, it seems Thursday’s episode may be the last time we see Brad (at least for a while).
Kudos to Parry Shen for making this character relevant for 12 years. Is Brad annoying? Certainly. Smarmy? Very often. Somehow,, Parry took what could be a one-note character and made him last for over a decade.
We finally got closure with Lucas and Brad – allowing Lucas to focus on the potential pairing with Marco. It was also nice to have a Britt mention as her friendship with Brad was often fun to watch.
It would be crazy if it was a drug for Drew use on Willow. Maybe he wants to incapacitate
her and take control of Michael’s kids? She’s ofno use him because he has a hidden agenda!
Hmmm- great point. —Drew’s interest in Willow is not about Willow—I should have figured that out
LOL. She’s just a means to an end?
I knew Brad gave Drew more ketamine. The envelope was too small to be more incriminating evidence on Portia. I was thinking he planed to use it on Portia or possibly Tracy. But when he told Willow the vial contains vitamins his doctor gave him. I hope he takes the drug himself. I would love to see Drew become addicted to ketamine and watch him tank his life. Willow has got to be the worst nurse at GH. Common sense should tell her a doctor wouldn’t hand over an unmarked vial of vitamins or any meds to a patient. But then she thinks Drew is an honorable man who doesn’t lie or keeps secrets from her so…
I wonder if this is going to all tie in to Dr. Dalton and Sidwell.

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.
