General Hospital fans have seen Drew lash out before, but actor Cameron Mathison says things are about to get even messier. After Monica Quartermaine’s death, Drew’s emotions spiral when he discovers she’s cut him out of her will. According to Mathison, this betrayal is a brutal blow for Drew, one that digs deep into his lifelong tussle with family, rejection, and identity.

Cameron Mathison on how Drew will respond to being left out of Monica’s will in General Hospital

Drew’s upcoming explosive reaction to Monica’s will isn’t about money; rather, it’s about feeling unwanted. Cameron Mathison told Soap Opera Digest that Drew’s anger is rooted in a lifetime of being cast aside. “Part of the reason that Drew is as lost as he is and is doing a lot of things that he’s doing is because of that lack of sense of family,” he explained.

After all, for Drew, Monica wasn’t just another Quartermaine, as she was the Quartermaine who truly embraced him. “She basically adopted him. She called him son, and he called her his mother,” Mathison shared. That’s why her death, especially after their fallout, hits Drew harder than anyone realizes. Not getting the chance to make peace with her only adds to the heartbreak.

So, learning he’s been excluded from the will pushes him over the edge. “He really…feels that after not being invited to the memorial, and then being cut out of the will, the Quartermaines never considered him part of the family,” Mathison revealed. “And there’s a lot of pain and…a lot of anger around that — and he’s definitely going to let them know it!” he added.

As for whether this loss will make Drew reflect or soften, Mathison says absolutely not. People keep saying, “This is Drew’s chance to come around and finally see the error of his wrong ways,” he quipped. “But..that’s not happening – not as far as I can see, or anytime soon. It’s Drew against the world, and Drew against the Quartermaines, specifically.”

In short, General Hospital fans shouldn’t expect Drew’s redemption; rather, revenge is most likely to be served.
