General Hospital’s Drew Just Did Something So Shocking Pretty Much the Entire Internet Is Calling For His Head

It’s official: Drew Cain is the most hated character on General Hospital… and that’s saying something. Over the years, a lot of folks have earned the scorn of the viewing public, including some of the most popular characters on the canvas. But after several months of pushing the buttons of Port Charles residents and the viewers who follow their every move, Drew finally did something that helped push him over the edge.

In the episode airing on Thursday, May 29 (recapped here), Michael gave Willow an ultimatum: Only by dumping his uncle Drew would she be allowed to see tots Wiley and Amelia in the future. Why? “My uncle is an awful person,” Michael insisted. “And being with him has made you awful.”

That’s a sentiment that many in the audience could agree with, and the expressed as much on social media. But even those who remained in Drew’s corner no doubt had to consider turning in their #TeamDrillow pom-poms after his next move. Because when Willow, determined to stand by her man, took off her wedding rings in order to return them to Michael, Drew picked one up and said they’d be keeping it.

That wasn’t just any ring, however. It was the one Lila gave to her great-great grandson, Michael, who slipped it on Willow’s finger during much happier times. But here was Drew, staking a claim on the ring and saying one day, they might pass it down to Amelia.

The internet, as you might imagine, had thoughts about this particular moment. “You didn’t know Lila at all,” pointed out Tiffany on X, “and you were going to throw Lila’s remains in the street to get usage of the [Quartermaine] name!”

More than a few viewers pointed out that Drew seemed willing to pass over his own eldest daughter, Scout, in order to pass the ring on to Amelia. To say that fans were wishing ill upon Drew would be a massive understatement. “I need Tracy to fight him to the death for her mama’s ring,” wrote Angie on our message boards. “And we all know Tracy would win!”

Willow, too, got her fair share of abuse, with viewers shouting at their televisions — via social media — that she needed to wake up. But Drew took the vast majority of the abuse, with literally hundreds of people calling him out — often using expressions that would make the late, beloved Lila blush — and wanting to see him punished!
