Cameron Mathison on why Drew isn’t dead on General Hospital

Cameron Mathison recently admitted in an interview that he wasn’t always confident Drew would be alive in General Hospital. With Drew making so many enemies, Mathison expected his character could easily be written off.

While speaking with Soap Opera Digest, he said, “Absolutely! One thousand percent,” when asked if he thought Drew might be killed. “As soon as [his descent into villainy] started happening, of course, I was thinking about that. I’ve been around the block long enough to know when you can sort of smell somebody getting ready to be sacrificed for a better story.”

Still, Mathison believes Drew’s role as a compelling villain saved him. “Drew’s a good villain. He’s not out there killing people! I think there’s more story to tell, more things for him to get involved in, and, of course, I absolutely love being here.”

After all, Drew’s dramatic return from the brink of death has left viewers divided. While some fans hoped his storyline was over, Mathison revealed that he knew the suspense would get a strong reaction. “I could just hear the millions of viewers being like, ‘Noooooooo!’” he joked. “I was like, ‘Yeah, here you go, everybody — I’m not gone yet!’”

Additionally, according to Mathison, Drew will use the victim card to manipulate others and blame Michael. “He’s going to use this to target Michael regardless of whether Michael is the shooter,” the actor explained. Drew wants Willow, the woman he loves, to have access to her children, and framing Michael could help him achieve that.

That’s exactly what is happening, as in the September 9 episode, after waking up, he asked for Willow. Later, Drew said that Michael was the one with the strongest motive to shoot him. Even though his memory of the night is hazy, Drew remains determined to bring Michael down.
