GENERAL HOSPITAL: Willow Executes Her Plan B to Get Rid of Drew (Recap)
The Monday, January 19 episode of General Hospital lived up to the hype; from the pick-up of last Friday’s cliffhanger in which Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) was found not guilty for shooting her husband, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) in the back twice, to Anna (Finola Hughes) trapped and freaking out while she is hearing the voice of her arch nemesis loud and clear through a speaker in her holding room, to Michael (Rory Gibson) fearing he will be the next person brought to trial for Drew’s shooting.
Here’s what went down: at the courthouse after her acquittal, the judge tells Willow she is free to go, and already a jealous and spiteful Drew tries to keep Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Chase (Josh Swickard) away from his wife. Willow thanked those who believed in her innocence for standing by her, but most importantly Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) who did such an amazing job as her lawyer. When Willow hugs Alexis, the legal eagle is not too pleased knowing she defended the woman who is guilty of the crime.
Drew announces he wants to take Willow home for a private celebration when Nina says he is going to stop by with champagne, and Chase is going to stop by too! Later as Willow and Drew make their exit, he tells a deflated and mad ADA Turner (Nazneen Contractor), that he will be contacting her to press charges against Michael Corinthos. Turner then has a conversation with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Chase about the missing footage that would have proven Willow was at the scene of the crime that night, and neither Turner nor Dante is fully convinced Chase didn’t have something to do with it, since he has been professing the wrong person was on trial and he’s glad Willow was not convicted.
A CELEBRATION FOR SOME … A MORAL DILEMMA FOR OTHERS

At Miller & Davis, Sonny (Maurice Benard) talks to Suzanne (Jen Ray) when Alexis texts her that Willow was found not guilty, which Sonny says he was hoping for, because he did not want the mother of his grandchildren in prison stripes, but Suzanne reminded him that his son, Michael is now the prime suspect. Later, Alexis comes back to the office upset over Willow getting off scot-free and tosses her files in a rage all over the floor. Suzanne comes in and picks them up. Alexis confirms that Willow was guilty, something Suzanne suspected all along.
Now at Drew’s, Nina arrives with champagne and Drew wants a private word with her as Willow and Scout go to get snacks and glasses for their celebration. Then, Drew threatens Nina that she will tell Willow that she wanted her own daughter convicted. Nina’s not putting up with Drew’s blackmail and makes her exit and tells him she’ll be back to see her daughter. However, Chase showed up shortly thereafter with flowers for Willow, and Drew is pissed as he watches the two hug and as she thanks her ex for having her back. After Chase leaves, Willow is glad she has some private time with Drew and asks him to hold her.
MICHAEL KNOWS WHAT’S NEXT

At the Quartermaines, Michael is pissed off and worried. He has a flashback to the conversation he had with Willow about seeing her children if she isn’t convicted. Michael told her as long as she is with Drew, she can’t see the kids. Sonny comes by and tells Michael whether he believes his son shot Drew or not, he wont let him go down and be sent to prison again. Sonny promised that he’d make sure that ADA Turner wouldn’t be the prosecutor in charge of the case.
Later, Chase walks in and he and Michael come face to face. Chase gloats that justice prevailed and an innocent woman went free, but hopes they can move past that. Michael says how can that happen when Chase believes he is the person who shot Drew and then helped Alexis build a case against him.
FROM A BRAIN IN THE JAR TO THE VOICE ON THE LOUDSPEAKER

Anna is literally getting physically sick, just listening to the voice of “Faison.” He tells her that his children Nathan and Britt were believed to be dead and now it’s only a matter of time before he will return too, because has she ever considered that all three of them had a miracle treatment? Anna scream, “No! I was finally rid of you!” “Faison” says she can never get rid of him and she runs to the bathroom to throw up.
When she returns, she tells “Faison” his brain was in a jar and she saw it, to which he replied, “Someone’s brain is in a jar, Anna. But it’s not mine. I’m right here with you.” When the moment of truth came that Anna demanded “Faison” reveal himself, the voice said that he couldn’t bear her to see him until he is fully recovered, because they are going to spend the rest of their lives together. Anna is tormented by these words.
Later at Miller & Davis, a knock on the door proves to be Scout, who comes by the law office to see her grandmother, which is at first, shocking given that it appeared Drew’s snide remarks post-trial would lead to Alexis coming up on the short end of the stick. However, back at Drew’s, Willow tells her husband, she had Chelsea take Scout to see Alexis so they could have some time together.
MEMORIES OF HARMONY AND SYRINGES

Next, Drew and Willow toast to the future. However, Willow went around the chair to hug Drew from behind, while at the same time, pulling out a syringe and stabbing it in Drew’s neck. As Drew is writhing on the floor and staring at Willow, she says the words we have heard him say to her ad nauseam, but in reverse, “Everything’s going to work out, Drew. You’ll see.”
By the way, didn’t Willow’s adoptive mother, Harmony Miller, utilize syringes laced with drugs to kill people? Remember, Dr. Neil Byrne? Maybe, Willow got this trick from her late mom? Food for thought.
So, what did you think of Willow stabbing Drew with a syringe of something which seems very potent? Will this be the end of the congressman once and for all, or will this incapacity him indefinitely? If Willow gets Drew out of the way, is she hoping Michael goes to prison for Drew’s attempted murder in his shooting, thus clearing the path for her to have Wiley and Amelia all to herself? What did you think of today’s GH? Weigh-in via the comment section below. But first, check out the scenes featuring Finola Hughes as Anna tries to cope with the voice of “Faison.”
Maybe Cameron AKA Drew is going off to do some of his Christmas movies and has to be incapacitated for a while. That was a great scene.
Well, if you fail to feed the dragons on Labor Day, then why not try again on MLK day, right? Hopefully the second attempt will be successful. If not… Valentines day is coming soon. And since it’s Hallmark’s most overhyped Helliday, would be kind of appropriate if that was the end of Hallmark Drew
You can keep up the tired shtick, but he’s not going anywhere soon.
His schtick really is getting old.
The thing is, he or she is super funny and clever. They don’t need the props(horns and cloven hooves).
I hope that Willow is not fantasizing about drugging Drew and that she really did it. I loved the panicked, shocked look in Drew’s eyes when he realized Willow stabbed him with the syringe. We don’t need to drag this out. Just kill the b—–d and send Willow off to the loony bin.
I know. I hope it’s not a dream too. However, spoilers say that Lucas and Lizzy spring into action and later Lucas has some “devastating news.” However, who besides Scout, would be devastated if Drew bit the dust?
lol true
Whatever it takes to end this story. Willow needs to be locked up behind bars or in a padded room. Chase needs to be shaken. I thought it was hilarious when Tracy got into his business the other day. He deserved it.
can’t stand drew
I hope he dies
How great is it that we once again get to hear the unique voice of Anders Hove? Cesar Faison (due to Hove’s captivating performance through the years) is GH’s greatest villain of all time. Even if they’re just using his voice to terrorize Anna – it’s a great homage to the characters histories.
Willow needs some guidance on how to finish someone off. She seems to really be having a hard time getting it done. There are so many murderers in town. Couldn’t she pick up a few pointers? I must say this is very entertaining. Yay for Katelyn’s evil facial expressions and eye rolls and nuanced portrayal of whacked out Willow that the audience gets to see now that Willow’s dark side is fully playing out. It almost make the months and months of insufferable Cameron’s one-note acting as Drew worthwhile.
Also, how satisfying was it to watch Michael smack Chase? Why would Brook Lynn put up with Chase’s emotional cheating? Ever since he found out he is shooting blanks he has been trying to prove his masculinity by being Willow’s saviour. I’m enjoying the writing. It was great that Michael called him out for being just like Drew (and Michael and Shiloh, for that matter).
Most of us missed that, JJ because some orange, bumbling booby decided to call a press conference to incoherently announce his list of non accomplishments.
I’m so sorry for the spoiler! I didn’t realize until today that GH was pre-empted in the US yesterday!
erhI am tired of Drew willow sidwell marco and that weird guy that works for sidwell along with aathe sleazy guy that ran against Laura and the faison story. I want to see Laura and Sonny get back at all of them. I want to see willow finally get back all the misery she put Michael through. Michael. Deserves better than her. I want somebody to finally get Drew and make him suffer for all the cruel things he has doneI want Anna to be rescued. I want to see sidwell his creepy son and all the other freaks surrounding him arrested. And put in jail I want to see Sam come back to life and marry Jason. I want Jason to dump Britt. Jason is a person who deserves better than Britt. Let Sonny and Carly reunite Let Kevin and Ace come home to Laura
I want all of the above, but do not want Sam to be another resurrection . Never liked her. I want Jason to be with Britt. Always liked her.
GREAT SCENE!!! I loved the ending with Willow finally giving it to Drew and hopefully we are done with seeing Drew on GH! But I don’t want to see Michael go through the changes of a trial. Next let’s get rid of Sidwell and his son, I’m sick of this dragging on.
I hope this the end of the actor on General Hospital as Drew. His character makes me nauseated.
She stabbed Drew with a syringe, Chase will find out and he will get killed.
Chase and Michael fighting is a total waste Willow is far from innocent. I still baffling to me why she hasn’t completely done away with him. She hates Drew.
She wants to torture him and I’m here for it. I hope he is fully aware of what she’s doing and there’s nothing he can do about it. I also hope this storyline where Willow gets revenge and doesn’t pay a price for all the horrible things she did, doesn’t go on forever. And leave Michael alone!
Please, please put us out of the Drew /Williow nightmare!!! Also, no Nathan and LuLu. I can’t believe that the,useless, writers never had Nathan visit Maxie !!! GH is dying. They, now , have a very well written competitor in Beyond the Gates !!! Love it !!

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.
