General Hospital’s Cameron Mathison on Why Drew Got Shot

General Hospital delivered a shocking twist in the September 3, 2025, episode of the show, where Drew was shot. Actor Cameron Mathison has explained why this storyline makes sense for the character in a recent interview.

Why Cameron Mathison wants to explore Drew getting shot storyline

Cameron Mathison spoke to Soap Opera Digest recently about this new Drew storyline, where the character was shot twice. Not only did Drew surround himself with enemies, but fans may also have been hoping for his downfall.

Mathison said, “Obviously, everybody hates me like crazy, but at the same time, they had to do that for the last four or five months.” He added, “They can’t just have people not like me. They have to have people want to kill me! And in order to have multiple people want to kill you, you’ve got to be pretty despicable — and they’ve done a really good job with that with Drew!”

As this moment had been building for some time, the actor was excited about taking it on. Since the show has not revealed the identity of the shooter, the storyline remains even more compelling. “I’m super-excited about it,” Mathison said. “You know, I watched Dallas back in the day, and in many ways, it’s very in line with the ‘Who Shot JR?’ story. I don’t care if you are the punching bag for all of Port Charles, you’re still the center of the story, and that feels really cool. I’m like, ‘Bring it on! Let me be the punching bag! I got this — and I’m gonna punch right back!’”

He further reflected on the role, saying, “I was really excited to take it on… It’s not every day that you get to take a gunshot on camera, and I really wanted to get that right and fall hard. And then, from the audience perspective, I knew, ‘The viewers are gonna love this!’ They all want to shoot Drew! Everybody wants Drew shot and dead. So I wanted to make sure that I gave them my all.”

But with Drew’s shooting, General Hospital has a huge mystery on hand. The show can explore this in the coming weeks.
