General Hospital spoilers gush Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) is playing a twisted game, scrambling to help Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) regain her kids, after losing custody to Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson).
On the surface, Drew’s efforts — pushing legal angles with Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) and even reaching out to Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) in an attempt to broker some peace — seem noble, but his true motive is darker: he thrives on Willow’s emotional dependence, keeping her tethered by fixing problems while stoking stress to ensure she needs him.
As Willow inches toward independence now that the worst has happened, could Drew, desperate to maintain control, paint himself as a martyr, offering to exit her life to secure her kids? If so, will he torch Nina Reeves’ (Cynthia Watros) bond with Willow by revealing their secret tryst as a final act of spite?
Drew’s Manipulative Master Plan
Drew’s “help” for Willow, like lobbying for visitation rights, masks his hunger for her reliance, seen in his past lies.
His fixes ensure she’s never too secure with herself and can’t seem to gauge whether she can trust her instincts about him that have to be bubbling up to the surface.
If Willow grows stronger, Drew might stage a grand exit, claiming it’s for her kids. But will he go quietly, or lash out to keep her dependent?
Nina is Drew’s Final Target
If Drew senses Willow slipping away, he might wield his secret fling with Nina — hidden since he ended up with Willow — as a weapon.
By confessing to Willow, perhaps in a calculated “heart-to-heart”, he could shatter Nina’s relatively new relationship with her daughter, ensuring Willow’s isolation if he can’t have her.
This would devastate Willow, but would it surprise anyone that Drew’s interest is not actually in looking out for her? Will Drew’s spiteful twist ruin Nina to keep Willow broken?
A Desperate Endgame
Drew’s obsession with Willow’s dependence clashes with her need to stand alone now, especially as visitation hearings loom in the near future. If he paints himself as a sacrifice, exiting to appease Michael, his ego won’t let Nina escape unscathed.
Fans are speculating Drew is “ready to burn it all down,” but some wonder if Willow’s awakening could foil him.
Will Drew’s final knife twist in Nina’s back as he leaves Willow’s life destroy her bond with her daughter, or will Willow see through his game before it’s too late? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to see how this plays out.
