Bang! Who shot Drew Cain?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
For over a year, we’ve watched Drew Cain wreak havoc on the lives of those he once loved and grow increasingly more despicable until someone finally picked up a gun and pulled the trigger. Twice. Now, Anna, her ace detectives and eagle-eyed viewers have a mystery to unravel. Let\u2019s get into it with a new General Hospital<\/em> commentary for the week ending September 5, 2025.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Folks, what an exciting week to cover General Hospital<\/em>. I\u2019m thrilled that I get to write about the long-overdue karma that finally caught up with Drew. To say he had it coming would be an understatement. The list of people who hate Drew is long and includes a large chunk of the viewers. The writers certainly took their sweet time giving us some justice, but it arrived this week and it was wonderful. Not only did someone take aim at Drew, but we now have a mystery to solve. Who pulled the trigger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved every episode this week. To my utter delight, the primary focus of each episode has been Drew\u2019s shooting and the fallout. I have no idea why General Hospital<\/em> doesn’t do more of these types of mysteries, peppering in clues along the way, because it’s such a great way to get viewers invested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congressman Drew “Cutthroat” Cain, the villain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How despised is Drew Cain? I work with a group of wonderful ladies who have been watching General Hospital <\/em>for years<\/em>. Naturally, we\u2019ve all been talking about how awful Drew has been, especially in recent weeks. Our General Hospital<\/em> scribes have done a fantastic job of making viewers root for someone — anyone — to take Drew out. Every time we thought Drew couldn\u2019t get more detestable, he\u2019d do something vile like keep Scout from her loved ones and prove us wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For weeks one of my supervisors, Kathy, would ask me almost daily, \u201cWhen is Drew going to die?\u201d I\u2019d share what I knew, but it was very little. Spoilers for General Hospital<\/em> are notoriously vague and open to all kinds of interpretations. One thing was clear though. Everyone could sense that something big was going to happen to Drew. Given his penchant for dastardly deeds, it didn\u2019t bode well for him. On Tuesday, karma finally caught up with Drew when someone picked up a gun, slipped into Drew\u2019s home and shot him. Twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a riveting episode. Never have I rooted for a would-be killer to succeed more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man that General Hospital <\/em>viewers hate … like really hate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Was this the plan all along? Did the writers know they were going to end up here when they first decided to take Drew in a new direction early last year? I don\u2019t know, but it seemed inevitable that someone would eventually go gunning for Drew. Drew has been public enemy number one ever since he whispered in Willow’s ear to use the medical proxy against Michael and his family. The problem is that Drew didn\u2019t die. Subsequently, my sense of justice was quickly snuffed out by the certainty that he will live to torment the people of Port Charles another day. Only, Drew will be much worse this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dare we hope the would-be killer returns to finish the job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prime suspect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That brings me to Willow. She\u2019s a prime suspect for a myriad of reasons starting with her mental state. Willow has been struggling since losing custody of her children. Things only got worse when Curtis dropped his bombshell on her wedding day that Drew had been sleeping with Nina right up to and for a short while after Drew and Willow’s first kiss. Willow feels betrayed and hurt on top of broken hearted over not seeing her kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willow is in a very bad place. She hasn’t handled anything well in a while. Recently, she played games with newborn Daisy to teach both Sasha and Michael a lesson about what it feels like to lose a child. Never mind that Michael lived that nightmare for months when Nelle and Brad hid Wiley, and Sasha lost both her newborn son and her husband within a span of less than a year. Willow wanted Michael and Sasha to suffer because she was suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, Willow only ever sees her own pain because she is always the victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willow\u2019s alibi<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At the time of the shooting, Willow was supposed to be working at General Hospital. However, Willow was nowhere to be found. In fact, not only was she missing, Liz assumed that Willow had walked out in the middle of her shift because Willow was upset over the news that Judge Heron had been murdered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, Chase had gotten Willow\u2019s hopes up by sharing that he had talked to the judge about what an awesome mother Willow is, and the judge had given him reason to hope for a better outcome at Willow’s next hearing. That\u2019s when Willow revealed that she had decided to get back together with Drew because he was powerful. Willow reasoned that if Drew was able to bribe someone at Michael\u2019s clinic in Germany, he must be powerful enough to get her kids back. That worked out so well for her the first time around. \ud83d\ude44<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why would Willow shoot Drew?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I would love for it to turn out that Willow had shot Drew because she desperately needs a stint at Shadybrook. But there are too many holes in that theory. For starters, where would Willow get a gun? Does she usually pack heat when she works shifts at General Hospital? Also, why would the judge\u2019s murder send Willow on a mission to kill Drew? It seems to me that Willow would be all the more determined to go through with her plans, since the judge won’t be of any help to her dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the shooting itself suggests a crime of passion rather than someone intent on killing. If you\u2019re going to double tap someone, wouldn\u2019t you make sure that one of those shots was a kill shot? Did Willow go to Drew’s place, see him with Lila’s ring and hear him say, “It’s all going to work out Willow. You’ll see,” and snap? Possible. Very possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, again, where did Willow get the gun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Has Michael turned homicidal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the surface, it might seem that Michael is the killer. Tracy certainly suspects him. There\u2019s no denying that Michael, more than anyone lately, has good reason to hate Drew and want him gone. Drew has spent the better part of a year trying to tear Michael’s family away from Michael. Drew has Willow and he’s working hard to get his clutches on Wiley and Amelia. I don\u2019t know why Drew is so obsessed with hurting Michael, and it doesn\u2019t matter at this point because as much as Drew might think he’ll succeed, Michael won’t let it happen. Michael will leave the country with those kids and vanish before he lets Drew near Wiley and Amelia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because Tracy saw Michael\u2019s car near Drew\u2019s house around the time of the shooting doesn\u2019t mean that Michael pulled the trigger.\u00a0For all we know, Michael drove there to confront Drew then thought better of it and left. Sure, Michael has access to guns, but Michael has consistently put his kids first. He would never put himself at risk of going to jail by going after Drew with a gun. That would be the quickest way to leave his kids vulnerable. Like I said, he could easily leave the country, so homicide is unnecessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will an alibi be enough?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If Drew survives, he will likely be paralyzed. If not, he will fake paralysis to guilt Willow into moving back in with him to be his caretaker. All speculation on my part, but it’s right up Drew’s alley to manipulate Willow like that. Knowing Drew, he will also try to falsely accuse Michael so that Michael is arrested and the kids are sent to their mother. Even Willow jumped at the opportunity to point a finger at Michael when she talked to Lulu about possible suspects in the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it seems that Michael might have an alibi. He went to the Port Charles Grill looking for a mysterious blonde woman. That woman turned out to be Jacinda, the escort that Nina and Portia hired to drug Drew. Will Jacinda be able to corroborate that Michael was with her at the time of the shooting? I hope so because I love Michael, and under absolutely no circumstances do I want to see Wiley and Amelia near Willow and Drew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, since Michael was picking up the tab, wouldn’t his credit card activity provide proof that he was at the Port Charles Grill when Drew was shot? I don’t think he needs Jacinda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did Alexis retaliate for being barred from Scout?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Scout\u2019s only possible savior is Alexis, but Alexis is embroiled in her own sticky wicket that includes Ava and Kristina. I still loathe Kristina, but I kinda dig Alexis and Ava working together. Alexis certainly has reason to kill Drew. He\u2019s been positively awful to her lately, and he’s hurting Scout by cutting her off from her loving family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexis\u2019 alibi is shaky at best. Even her partners-in-crime are suspicious of Alexis\u2019 claim that she\u2019d been with Ric during the time in question. As the ladies pointed out, Alexis could have come in through the back door. Ric is of no help either since he has no real concept of time being imprisoned in a windowless basement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Alexis has killed before. I still remember how certain I was that Alexis had been innocent of killing Luis Alcazar. I was wrong. Alexis is a skilled liar who has gotten better over the years. Just look at her these days. She\u2019s neck deep in shady dealings and criminal activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t think Alexis shot Drew. She would have used Helena\u2019s dagger not a gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nina has motive too<\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is only one reason that Nina would want to kill Drew, but it’s a big one. Nina is the queen of poor choices, especially when it comes to her daughter, and she was completely blindsided when Willow announced that she had reconciled with Drew. She’s no fool. Nina knew that Willow would lose any hope of getting visitation with her kids as long as Drew was in the picture because where Drew went trouble quickly followed, especially for Willow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willow made a good point when she accused Nina of giving herself — as well as Willow — an alibi for the time of the shooting by claiming to have accompanied Willow on the walk. However, both women are idiots because General Hospital has security cameras all over the place including outside the hospital. All Anna has to do is check the cameras to see if Nina and Willow had met up to go singing and dancing in the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portia can\u2019t be ruled out either<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No one had more reasons for wanting Drew dead than Portia. He held both her freedom and her career in his hands. She already lost her marriage because of Drew\u2019s blackmail, so how far would she go to keep from losing everything else? What Trina didn\u2019t know was that Portia and Nina had hired an escort to drug Drew with ketamine that Portia had illegally obtained from Brad. Trina and Kai only knew about Heather\u2019s tampered test results, so they got just a part of the incriminating evidence against Portia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recall it was strongly implied that Drew had managed to track Jacinda down before Felicia could persuade Jacinda to talk to Curtis.  I can’t imagine that Drew would let Jacinda walk away without getting some proof of Nina and Portia’s crimes. Not that it matters because Jacinda is back in town and looking for another payout from Portia and Nina. This should be interesting because I don’t think Jacinda will go quietly away as she once did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to admit, I had really thought\/hoped that Portia had scrubbed in on Drew\u2019s surgery because she wanted to make sure that he wouldn’t come out of that operating room alive. It’s wrong, I know, but I was so disappointed when Lucas credited Portia for saving Drew\u2019s worthless life. It’s not going to score her any goodwill points with Drew. Not unless he wakes up as the old Drew. \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life moves fast on General Hospital<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We all knew it would happen, but I was surprised by how quickly things escalated between Portia and Isaiah. No slow burn there. I doubt Curtis had made it to General Hospital\u2019s parking garage before Portia and Isaiah were knocking boots in her office. The next evening she\u2019s sliding into Isaiah’s bed as if she already has a key to his place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How in love with Curtis could Portia have really been if she has moved on so easily with another guy? I don’t care how fine he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild card suspects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve seen some crazy theories suggesting that Monica or Scout shot Drew. No way. Scout is a kid and despite how rotten Drew has been, she loves him. Monica has been in poor health, and she would have no reason to kill Drew. She didn\u2019t like what he was doing and had long ago disowned him, but she wouldn\u2019t kill him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that we will soon be saying goodbye to Monica and our beloved Leslie Charleson, so I suspect Tracy\u2019s fears will be realized and Monica will suffer some kind of tragic medical event off screen when she hears about Drew\u2019s shooting.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most likely suspect(s)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anna and friends will likely suspect Sonny of murdering the judge and trying to take out Drew, but I\u2019m certain it was Sidwell and\/or Marco. Marco is part of the conspiracy, but I\u2019m not sure that he has it in him to strangle a woman. Shooting Drew might be easier. Did Marco try to clean up the mess he\u2019d made when he told Drew about the bribe that Judge Heran had received? He’s inept enough to shoot a man in the back twice and not kill him because Marco is a lawyer not a mob enforcer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sidwell is definitely responsible for Judge Heran\u2019s death because we know that she called to tell him that Chase had been asking questions. Sonny is right. It\u2019s not a coincidence that the judge\u2019s body was found in the harbor directly across from Spoon Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel that if Sidwell had shot Drew or sent someone to kill him that Drew would be dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t wait for next week when we get some more clues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, at the Five Poppies resort \u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Britt discovered that Pascal was keeping Josslyn and Vaughn prisoner. Even more shocking to her, Joss is now a WSB agent. How Britt kept from laughing out loud is beyond me. I would have busted a gut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for everyone, Jason was still at the airport when Britt called with an S.O.S. Jason jumped into action, returned to the resort and promptly dispatched the assassin that Pascal had sent. Jason also found Britt\u2019s note letting him know where to find her. It was the first time \u2013 since Jason and Britt first saw each other \u2013 that I\u2019ve been interested in this storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spy no spies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Josslyn and Vaughn seem so out of their depth in this storyline. It\u2019s why I have a hard time taking them seriously as spies. Both seem much more focused on their personal dynamics than the real and present danger they are facing. Anna and Robert wouldn\u2019t have waited for someone to come back before attempting to escape. They would have used those scissors and been long gone before Pascal and his goons returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only good thing to come out of Joss and Vaughn\u2019s current predicament is that Brennan now knows that Colette is a double agent. We are also one step closer to finding out who the puppet master is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m more certain than ever that it\u2019s Faison — or that rotten apple Peter. True, both are dead, but we all know supervillains have more lives than a herd of cats.\u00a0I don’t think it’s Valentin simply because Colette tried to kill him. If she had been working for him, she would never have fired into the restaurant while Charlotte was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Hospital Quick Takes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why didn’t Kai and Trina simply say that they had arrived moments after the shooting? Who would have disputed that timeline? I also don\u2019t understand Trina\u2019s decision to keep quiet about the evidence that\u2019s been hanging over Portia\u2019s head. Is it really better to leave Portia twisting in the wind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ouch! Stella was quick to assume the worst about Curtis proving that she really doesn\u2019t know her nephew. If Curtis had shot Drew, then Drew would be dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor Scout. Why couldn\u2019t she have gone to Monica instead of Willow? What a horrible decision by the writers. The only saving grace is that Elizabeth will be there to watch over Scout. A good thing because that child is going to need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can we please get a love interest for Michael? Rory Gibson has chemistry with everyone he shares a scene with. We need a smoking hot romance on General Hospital<\/em> to make up for the year-plus that we\u2019ve had to suffer through Drillow (Drew and Willow).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love Ric. He\u2019s a gray (a dark gray) character with good looks, charm and a great sense of humor. He\u2019s bad enough to stir up trouble for others and give us great soapy moments, but he can be sweet too. That said, I don\u2019t feel sorry for him being strapped to that table in Alexis\u2019 basement. I keep thinking, \u201cNow, you finally know how Carly felt chained to a bed in your panic room.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faison — and others — back from the dead<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“Daytime soaps have given us decades of ridiculous storylines, but I don\u2019t know that I\u2019ve ever seen one with four characters brought back from the dead at once. Robert, Anna and Faison all came back from the same boat explosion; but there\u2019s a certain logic in that if one survived, they all should have survived. Plus, no bodies. Faison and his spawn died in four separate incidents, and there was a dead body each time. If Britt survived, OK. Nathan too (and I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s been confirmed that\u2019s who Ryan Peavy will be playing), OK. But it should end there. No one wants to see Peter again. Faison was a great villain at his peak, but he was mentally disassembling by the end. The only thing that makes sense there is if he was treating his own Huntington\u2019s, he would have a treatment for Britt as well.” — Kathie<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Please no more Faison, aside from his brain being in a jar his character is played out, boring, and adds nothing.” — CeeGee<\/p>\n\n\n\n
