Who Shot Drew? ‘General Hospital’s’ Prime Suspects ‘Pass the Phone’ as Reveal Nears
What’s a game of “pass the phone” amongst friend, err enemies, right? Well, General Hospital has yet to reveal to its viewers just who is the real culprit who shot congressman Drew Cain! So, Cameron Mathison (Drew) leads an all-new social media video to try to get some clues and some background on the lead suspects, and to connect the dots full-circle to his Port Charles alter-ego.
Mathison shares, “I’m passing the phone to the love of my life who has been wrongly accused in my attempted murder.” Of course, he is talking about Willow Tait! In kind, Katelyn MacMullen as Willow, says, “I’m passing the phone to my ex-husband, who is framing me for custody of our kids.”
Next up, Rory Gibson, who as Michael shares, “I’m passing the phone to my mother, who will go way too far to protect me,” and then Laura Wright as Carly adds, “I’m passing the phone to the selfish mother who threw her daughter under the bus to save herself.”

That brings in Cynthia Watros as Nina, who explains,”I’m passing the phone to my friend who exposed my past fling with Drew right before his wedding to my daughter.” Nina is speaking of Curtis Ashford who dropped the mother of all bombshell’s on Willow, hoping it would stop her marriage to Drew.
Next, Curtis played by Donnell Turner brings it back around to Portia.”I’m passing the phone to my wife, who let Drew’s blackmailing get in between our marriage,” he snarls. That brings up Portia played by Brook Kerr, who has been looking like either the prime suspect or is being framed by multiple parties to make it look like she is the guilty party.
Portia says, “I’m passing the phone to the Congressman who got what he deserved.” In the end, it’s Cameron Mathison who buttons up the game of telephone with some juicy intel that this crime may be solved sooner than we may think! “Stay tuned in General Hospital to find out who shot Drew,’ says Mathison.
Take a look below at the GH stars and their characters giving us another look at the backstory of how we got to where we are today.
Then, weigh-in via the comment section below, and let us know if you still think, Willow, Michael, Portia, Curtis, Carly or Nina, could still be the shooter, or do you think it’s someone else? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Pass the phone to whomever, just end this storyline please!
Amen!
This storyline has gone on WAY too long. At this point I don’t care who shot Drew.
Love how this storyline gets people riled up.
Part of the issue is Drew’s increased screen time in 2025. Through the end of October, Drew appeared in 130 episodes (second only to Carly). This compares to 78 episodes in the same time period in 2024 (behind 13 other cast members).
That said, Matheson continues to perfectly play the role of the town’s least liked citizen.
This has been a great storyline IMO! Can’t wait to find out who shot the congressman. Interesting that the phone was not passed to Tracy, who found Drew.
Detective Jason Morgan will solve the case.
Jacinda
Sure hope Jason solves it soon. Then can Willow stop mooning over Drew. She is just not the type for him, nor is Chase. He is so stupid, putting her before his wife.
I think Ezra did it !!
My money’s on Scout! She finally decided that enough was enough. Besides, if it were anyone that TRULY hated Drew, he would have been shot in the head!
My money is on drew I think it’s obvious he hired someone to shoot him and frame Michael because drew only wants Michael blamed no one else
You would have to have one HELL of a lot of faith and trust in somebody to allow them to shoot you twice in the back, and believe that neither death or paralysis would be the likely outcome.
Is Drew mentally twisted enough to hire somebody to shoot him? Maybe. But he’s also too paranoid to trust anybody like that. So, not likely that this is a “Bob Roberts” scenario
It makes sense drew hired someone he wants to be blame Micheal no one else
I agree. Would make this storyline interesting. Really would blow a lot of minds!
I think it’s Jacinda but would prefer for it to be Willow, who has blocked it out of her mind.
I would prefer it to be Willow as well. I just can’t stand that character anymore- they’ve ruined her. And is it ever going to come to light that Willow was the one playing sinister games with Sasha’s baby? A lot of folks around Michael
are confused as to why he thinks she shouldn’t be trusted around the kids. Wouldn’t that little fact coming to light justify his feelings? As far as Jacinda is concerned, I don’t understand what her motive would be. The crime was an act of passion and that wouldn’t include Jacinda.
I’m passing the phone to Monica Quatermain. I believe she discovered that he was not the real Drew; therefore, she set out to get rid of him. Not liking what he was doing to the family, and the fact that she was dying anyway, she decided to take Drew down with her.
Comet or Outback are more likely than Monica.
No. Just no. Monica didn’t do it. I wish folks would stop suggesting that.
What in the actual f**k?
We think it’s someone else.
OK. Drew blackmailed Portia to “shoot” him.but not kill him jusy do he can frame Michael. That’s my theory and im sticking to it! I hope we find out soon because this story is getting old.
Drew hired someone to shoot him and frame Michael so he could go to prison and willow could have The kids
That’s not actually a bad theory. The thing is though is that Portia actually HAS a good alibi – but it’s not one she wants to use. At least not until she’s in her second trimester and has that paternity test done. Because the night that Drew got shot was also the night that she hooked up with Dr Isaiah. So she would play that card to get out of prison if she had to, but wouldn’t want to mention it right now, because she don’t know who’s the baby daddy yet!
Would be interesting to see what Portia’s reaction would be if she finds out that not only were Trina and her boyfriend Kai present at the scene of the crime, but that they also disposed of the blackmail material which would have arguably made Portia & Curtis into viable suspects in Dragon Chow Drew’s shooting.
Drew hired someone to shoot him and frame Michael
And God forbid Portia tell Curtis the truth who may go on to be the next Taggert.
ummm I want to pass the phone to whomever can tell me where the F*ck is Anna? I want Anna back,where is Finola Hughes? Someone tell me!!!!!
With what is going on with Sidwell and her granddaughter, she is desperately needed, and Dante is in over his head as interim police commissioner dealing with his son being arrested. Worst possible time to have Anna vanish.
She’s dealing with a short term illness according to Facebook, but who knows if that is true.
“Facebook”, a.k.a. the known place for A.I.-generated fake spoilers. Unless Ms Hughes has said anything, then it isn’t true.
Oh, excuse me…
Sidwell hired someone
It’s definitely a woman, the shadow was to small for a man. They also had earrings on.
I don’t think Michael did it cause Drew would not be walking around
I still don’t understand the point of drew getting shot so far it has not changed anything to make things worse the story is over rated and boring
It’s time to reveal drews shooter and move on

Cynthia played by Christopher’s level-headed, big-hearted girlfriend trying to build a normal life with him. In fact, Cynthia’s role on the sitcom was first series regular role after her Daytime Emmy run of Annie Dutton on Guiding Light which ran from 1994-1998.
STACY KEACH’S WIFE ON HIS PASSING

She added, “Stacy peacefully departed this world. He fought for so long, with extraordinary courage, determination and strength. He was a true warrior, facing his illness with the same remarkable spirit and resilience that defined his life.”
Małgosia continued, “Stacy was not only a legendary actor, admired and loved by audiences the world over, but also my beloved husband, my companion and the heart of our family. His passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness in our lives. But his extraordinary spirit, his unforgettable voice and the love he gave so generously will remain with us forever.”

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.
