General Hospital can't keep avoiding this "Who Shot Drew?" story that's been brewing all year. The character is too reviled now for sooooo many valid reasons. Heck, he even has sweet Trina wanting to rip him a new one. When that happens, you know it's bad. Let us count the many ways and reasons Drew Cain has to catch a soap opera bullet soon.
Someone shoot him already
Drew had yet another week of being ewww, with his self-awareness at a negative a billion. Did he really think telling Jason that he and Willow were offering a generous visitation schedule of every other weekend was going to entice Jason to go back to Michael and ask him to compromise? As soon as Drew realized the brother he tried to frame for murder wasn't going to do his bidding, he turned on a dime and threatened both Jason and Michael. 'Cause that's our Drew.
But Drew wasn't done with the threats, as he moved onto his most nauseating scenes of the week. The way he talked to Portia and Nina made us sick to our stomachs. Who talks to women this way, and who would want to watch someone talk to women this way? He insulted them, ordered them around, and threatened them before heading over to Willow's hospital room to run her life again.
As the week progressed, Drew managed to anger Tracy, Curtis, and Michael even more. Then, he made a true enemy of Trina, who just wants her boyfriend not to become the next Willow Tait. Sadly, it looks like Kai may be heading in that direction. Perhaps, Trina needs to take charge the next time Nina and Portia enter into another hare-brained scheme to bring Drew down. We know she's itching for it.
A soap character can't make this many enemies in such a short time without someone gunning for him. As it stands now, the suspect list would consist of Willow, Nina, Michael, Carly, Jason, Portia, Curtis, Trina, and Tracy. Depending on what Drew does in the near future, we can see Sonny and Alexis being added to that list. That would be one heck of a whodunit if GH would just pull the plug and do it already. Drew Cain is Port Charles' public enemy #1. It's a shame, considering how beloved the character was years ago, but it's true.
Baby mama drama
Willow's a hot mess, ya'll. In fact, we've rarely seen such a hot mess on soaps. She's such a hot mess that she might be sneaking out of Drew's Dawn of Day house when she is supposed to be sleeping, so she can lurk outside on the Q patio and turn on the mobile music in the Q nursery. And hot mess Willow isn't the only suspect in this massive mess that's about to happen to poor baby Daisy.
Now that we know Sidwell paid off the judge to give Michael full custody of Wiley and Amelia, we have to know what his endgame is. Did he do it to make up for being the one who landed Michael in a burn unit? Does he want all of Sonny's grandchildren under one roof so he could use them as leverage for Sonny? Sidwell could very well have hired someone to stalk baby Daisy. We have a feeling that when her christening day arrives in record time next week, we'll find out just who wants to return poor Sasha to the torture chamber.
Speaking of hot mess Willow...
This girl is gone, gone, gone. We've barely seen a soap character fall this far this fast and end up a shell of her former self. And her brain is now mush, thanks to Drew's mush-making. Every single time she has a moment of clarity, when we think her brain is slowly returning to her head, her brain decides to check out again.
Yes, Willow, the judge told you that you lost your kids cause of your decision to be with Drew, so you are right that marrying him might not be the best move. But Drew told Willow she was wrong, so Willow nodded and said she was wrong. Then, she agreed to marry Drew. Even she noted how a marriage to gain custody of a kid didn't work out well for her the first time, so why not try it again? If Drew tells this girl to try it again, then that is what she will do. At this point, Willow needs a cult-deprogramming intervention like the one she helped Jason, Michael, and Sonny spearhead for Kristina years ago.
Brook Lynn's (probable) big boo-boo
Brook Lynn brought the Brooklyn when she walloped Lulu across the mouth and deservedly so, but Brook Lynn's next big idea might not be her best move. When Brook Lynn schemes, she usually screws up somewhere, which makes her much more like Lulu than she wants to admit or accept.
Now, Brook Lynn is scheming to paint Lulu in a bad light in her son's eyes, the same way Lulu did that to Brook Lynn in Gio's eyes. However, Lulu didn't purposely set out to hurt Gio, while Brook Lynn is not thinking about what her purposeful revenge plan will do to Rocco. Brook Lynn is about to open a massive can of worms that she may never be able to close again. Telling a 15-year-old about his bizarre origin story on purpose is much different than blurting out a 22-year-old's parentage by accident, not knowing the 22-year-old was listening at the door. This is the story that will usher an allegedly dead Britt back into town, but it's probably going to ruin Brook Lynn's life more than Lulu's. Can someone say backfire?
Elizabeth gets her groove back
Feisty Elizabeth has re-emerged after another lackluster romance that this poor woman had to endure. When Elizabeth is paired with the wrong man, she becomes a shadow of herself, but when she is with the right man or no man at all, she shines bright. We haven't seen this version of Elizabeth much since she helped Nikolas keep a pregnant teenage girl hostage in a tower.
And we need this version of Liz. She takes charge and takes no prisoners. After her lackluster reaction to Lucky telling her that Kristina purposely caused the car accident that nearly killed her, we were disheartened. It turned out all she needed was for Lucky to get the heck out of Port Charles and out of her house to take charge of the matter. Liz is gathering all the players in this mess that nearly cost Liz her life and letting them know she means business.
But you know how Liz can truly, 100% get her groove back? His name is Jason. He is single. Liz is single. Can we do this already? It's only been 25 years.
Odds and ends
Oh, dear sweet Gio, how we love you. Who knew you were now living in Anna's apartment, which was once Sasha's apartment, which was once Kim Nero's apartment? And now Emma and Gio are going to bring a pretty pooch home to horrify Anna. Awww.
Gio also surprised us with Lulu. Rather than being furious with her for digging into his parentage, he is grateful to her for being the only person interested in the truth. We can see this becoming a problem for Brook Lynn if Gio and Lulu end up closer than Brook Lynn and Gio, at least for now. Brook Lynn is about to do something dumb (see above), but at least Lulu will have a new friend.
Is Isaiah a new friend, too? What exactly is going on between him and Lulu now that it's officially over between Isaiah and Jordan? And why did we even bother with Isaiah and Jordan for the last nine months if they were going to get nowhere and be a bust before they even started? Also, Jordan, do NOT go back to Curtis. We repeat. Do NOT go back to Curtis. We love Curtis, but danger alert! Danger alert! That man is beyond nitpicky and will break Jordan's heart all over again.
What the heck is going on with Cody, and why put him in this bizarre story with Ava? GH spent months upon months building up Molly and Cody, only for him to barely acknowledge her when he saw her at the pool. The whole situation is a strange one, indeed. It could also mean poor Molly is without a love interest again. Paging Dr. TJ Ashford.
Till next week, Scoopers, when we expect a baby napping to take place at a christening...
