General Hospital
(WATCH) GH’s Laura Wright and Cameron Mathison Chat with Good Morning America
Wednesday’s edition of Good Morning America featured special guests, General Hospital’s Laura Wright (Carly) and Cameron Mathison (Drew).
The two castmates have been on an east coast public appearance swing and stopped into Mathison’s former stomping grounds for a chat with the GMA hosts.
During the conversation, Mathison detailed how it’s been coming to GH after formerly being a part of ABC daytime as All My Children’s Ryan Lavery, plus how his wife Vanessa received some acting tips from Laura Wright, before Vanessa’s recent on-screen appearances on the ABC soap opera.
When Laura came by to work with Vanessa on her lines, apparently Cameron hightailed it out his house, sharing, “I took off, you know what I mean? I got out of there because it was a little stressful!”
Wright and Mathison also discussed GH’s upcoming 60th anniversary season, which will kick-off with the Graceland fanfest celebration this October. GH will officially turn 60 on April 1, 2023.
Currently in story on GH, Carly and Drew are getting much closer romantically. Meanwhile, viewers are deciding if they are on-board for the coupling.
Watch Cameron and Laura dish with GMA on all things GH below.
Now weigh-in, are you rooting for Carly and Drew to get together as a couple, or do you hope Carly will somehow find her way back to Sonny (Maurice Benard)? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Yes, i love the bond they growing will never be like Sonny but what the hell sonny moving why not carly i love her so much.
Friends. Drew & Carly.
Me and sonny is not as popular as he was before nina no chemistry at all
I like Cameron Mathison, just not as Drew. I wish he would have been a brand new character. Plus Carly and Drew do not work for me as a couple. Great caring friends, but not a couple.
Rooting for Carly and Sonny back together
Absolutely Carly n Sonny 🙂
Yes me too
Yes, please Carly needs to get back with Sonny
First, and foremost, Laura Wright is Amazing! Best Carly yet, And I’ve been watching daily since 1982!
“Sonny” is boring. And truthfully unforgivable. So no reconciliation for them. Carly only belongs with Jason. Period. That was the best story line in a very long time. Bring back Steve Burton. Have Drew get together with anyone but Sam, perhaps Britt.
No not Britt she’s leaving in November
KT has said she’s not leaving permanently.
Why is she leaving? I love her
Keep her on GH. We all know SB will be back eventually and they would be great together.
She’s going back to Station 19 primetime.
Sonny is the man for Carly; He has a strong man appearance that is what the character Carly needs. Love Carly and Sonny together.
No. They are horrible together.
Sonny and Carla
YES!!! Cameron and Laura have great chemistry!! Laura has the best hair in the biz and he is just smoking hot… Bring back LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON!!!
Yes Carly and Drew
Bring back Jason for Carly. Crazy Nina can keep Sonny.
I agree
I rather like them together. Carly needs to move on from Sonny, enough already. These two make a striking couple and I look forward to more kisses and more of this relationship.
I want Carly back with Sonny. Can’t stand Nina and she has no chemistry with Drew.
I am tired of Carly and Sonny! I like Nina and Sonny!
Kate
I agree. That crazy bitch deserves him!!
….and even the Devil said “AMEN”!!
Carly and Sonny need to get back together
How is it possible to bring back Nell? She’s dead ?
How long have you been watching this show? There’s at least two guaranteed ways that somebody on GH is not actually dead:
1) Most obviously, when there’s no body.
2) When the Devil Himself tells you this person is not in Hell…. and there’s ZERO chance they could have gone the other direction.
Both of these things are true of Psycho Nelle…. though it’s possible this return may not even be “for real” and might merely be part of a nightmare that Willow is about to have, as she questions her own mortality.
You can bet your soul on it, that – even if nobody else in Port Charles happens to see Nelle this time – she’s going to be back for real one of these days. Sadly, with these writers, it will probably be so they can give even more airtime to the Parasite who is already sucking the life out of the show…. the one who thinks she’s Nelle’s mother because a WalMart necklace told her so.
Remember they found a body but assumed it was Nelle. No body actually claimed the body they just buried it
Oh right… I forgot about that. Some badly bloated body in the river and nobody even bothered to properly identify it. Or in other words, a big red flag that it wasn’t actually Psycho Nelle. Though she might have killed this poor person, whomever it was. Probably to steal her car.
They never found Nell. So she could be alive.
Words I never thought I would write at this site: I enjoyed Laura Wright and Cameron Mathison!
I have always been a Carly and Sonny fan, but they both have moved on. I don’t and never will see the chemistry between Sonny and Nina. For me, it just ain’t there. Drew and Carly do show promise. But, in the end, probably some years from now, the endgame will be Sonny and Carly.
Carly and Sonny!
Totally hot, love those 2 together. Yes yes yes
Gh is really boring and stories dragging now
If Drew were smart, he would never get involved with Carly, Sam, or Elizabeth. Well, not if he wanted anything “serious” anyway. I suppose if he just wanted a quick hookup, it wouldn’t matter all that much. But in terms of a long term relationship with “feelings”… how the Hell would Drew ever know for sure if he had genuine feelings of his own for any of them…. or was just running on the Jason memories that are permanently imprinted in his brain.
If I were him, I’d go for somebody new… somebody’s who’s not included in his brother’s memory files. Even if he was with Britt, for example… her history with Jason was long after the brain mapping dragonshit, so any feelings Drew developed for her would at least be genuinely his own.
I’m a Devil, not a psychiatrist, but I imagine Kevin Collins would tell him the same thing, if he asked for a professional opinion.
Yes, definitely. They have always been 2 of my favorite characters, not to mention their portrayed. Plus they have great chemistry on set. Come on GH. Let it happen.
Rooting for Carly and Sonny back together
Sonny n Carly forever
To me Nina n Sonny don’t click
Nina was in make believe mode and Sonny had had no idea who he was My opinion writers you did wrong
Carly needs to move on with Drew, love this storyline for her. The Sony/Carly storyline was getting old
Like Mathison, glad to see him return but not as Drew! I to wish he had gotten his own character. Drew & Carly? Nah, friends work, not lovers. Hope Carly & Sonny can get it figured out. Nina & Sonny, not a good chemistry,it doesn’t work.
I want Sonny & Carly back together, they make the show stronger together than apart….
Carly and Drewwww!!
Definitely Carly & Sonny!!
Carly and sonny Nina is boring
I’m hoping carly & sonny get back together. Sonny & Nina just don’t work for me. Go CarSon
I agree I love Carly and Sonny being together. Them together brings the best in both of them. In order words they complement each other.
Carly and sonny always find there way back together. I don’t want Drew to get hurt.
Want Carly back with Sonny.
No, I am not in favor of a Carly Drew hookup.
Carly and Drew have Amazing chemistry.
Sonny and Nina however Do Not!! I wish she would go back to Valentine! Sonny and Ava might work. They are Avery’s parents after all.
I so want Sonny and Carly back together. I feel that they have a love that can stand the many challenges that life provides. I can’t see Nina as a love interest for Sonny. She doesn’t have enough spark and charisma to be Sonny’s type of woman. She is way too meek and mild. To be honest she truly turns me off!
Let sonny and Nina stay together
Carley and Drew works well I think .
They are great together
Will continue hoping Carly and Sonny get back together…just can’t see Carly and Drew (as Cameron Mattison) as a couple. I could have seen her with the old Drew.
I love Cameron in his Hallmark and GAC movies but he’s not doing it for me as Drew. GH has become the Carly show. They need to evenly showcase the other talented actresses on the show.
Too much Carla on GH. Showcase some of the veteran actresses more. Love Cameron Mathison in his movies and watch the mall but he’s miscast as Drew.
They are growing on me. They seem happy together.
I hope they put Carly and Sonny back together. Carly and Drew are not a good match and neither is Sonny and Nina. I can’t believe Sonny wasn’t upset for what Nina did. Bad writing on GH part. Also PLEASE BRING JASON BACK!!!
Carly and Sonny should be back now
Drew with Sam, Jason and Brett was a good match. Maxie always get with the bad guy,
Maybe this is the right time for Maxie and Spinelli.
Only in soaps would a woman potentially be with 3 brothers. What did Monica do to deserve this?
When Mathison first came on as Drew, there was so much potential in his scenes with Liesl and Valentin. Now, it’s like he’s playing a watered down version of Drew.
It’s been totally ignored about whose memories Drew has these days. The character barely interacts with anyone other than Carly or Michael.
No, thanks!!
So far not a fan of Carly & Drew, but after seeing this interview, I’ll give them time to grow on me.
I just love Laura. ❤️ Cameron is a great addition. Both very talented. I want Steve ( Jason ) to come back and sweep Carly off her feet.
I love drew with Carly they seem to have a lot of fun together I don’t like Sonny with Nina but but there’s too much hurt and hard feelings between currently feelings between curly and Sunny right now I don’t think Jason’s coming back to general hospital unless he gets his shots all done and hes on a different soap right now
He was on “a different soap” for exactly one week (5 episodes). No indication that’s going to continue.
I predict Jason will be eating Thanksgiving pizza at the Q mansion this year. This upcoming rescue of Holly Sutton from Cassadine Island cannot possibly happen without addressing the fact that this was also Jason’s last known location
Sonny & Carly! Nina needs to be with Valentin or bring back Jax. They made a good couple.
Bring back Jason!!!! The show is not the same without him! Can’t believe they let him go over a stupid vaccine!!
Yes I love them together!
Carly and Drew are not a good match.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Walks Away From The Mob After 30 Years; Steve Burton and Maurice Benard Deliver Emotional Moments
Is this the end of an era? It certainly looks like it after Jason (Steve Burton) explained to Sonny (Maurice Benard), why he can no longer work for him, and be his right hand enforcer for his organization on the Monday, August 3 episode of General Hospital.
In story, Jason filled Sonny in on everything that went down before he was taken into custody by the WSB including: his opportunity to kill Cullum, Rocco shooting Cullum on the pier, being carted off to Jakarta, and watching his son, Danny, who now only has one parent (since his mother, Sam McCall died in 2024) suffer the consequences of his actions. Jason made clear to Sonny he must be there for his son now and needs to set a better example for him.
As emotional Jason is trying to get the words out and becomes overwhelmed with sadness, because he is truly caught between his son and the man that changed his life after Jason sustained longstanding brain damage from being injured in the car crash nearly 30 years ago in 1996.

Jason recounts to Sonny what led him to this decision, “The WSB’s taking me in. They throw me shackles and then they force me in the back of a transport. Danny was there. He’s pounding on the door. Tears in his eyes screaming that what they’re doing to me is wrong. They just can’t take me off. I’m sitting there wondering, ‘What the hell have I done to my kid?’ His mom’s dead. I’m going to prison if I’m lucky. Something just breaks inside of me.”
“So, I promised myself, I got to do better,” continued Jason. “I failed my son too many times and I can’t do it again. If I keep working for you, then I’m going to make sure that your security’s my priority and not Danny. It’s not fair to you to keep me on when I can’t do the things I used to. I can’t kill for you again. I got to stop doing what I’m doing so Danny doesn’t follow in my footsteps.”
Next, Sonny lets Jason know Danny had already tried to join the mob in his absence, and that he knew Jason wouldn’t want Danny in this life, just like he would not want his own children. Jason thanks Sonny for handling the situation. He adds, “I just have a few years before Danny’s going to be out on his own. This my last chance to be a true father to him before he doesn’t even need me anymore. I’m out.”

Sonny gives Jason his blessing with tears streaming down his face, and tells Jason they will always be brothers, and they share a hug, before Jason exits.
Applause to Steve Burton who played the scenes beautifully, and Maurice Benard, who reminded us why the longstanding relationship between Jason and Sonny has been one of the all-time best and one of the cornerstones of three decades of GH. Burton should remember these scenes for potential inclusion for his Emmy reel for 2027.
So, what did you think of the scenes where Jason tells Sonny why he is leaving the mob and can’t work for him anymore? Do you think it will stick? In the past, these two have found themselves, often having to face a common enemy back working together and Jason goes right as Sonny’s enforcer? Were you moved by Steve and Maurice’s performances in the scenes? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.
