General Hospital
Even Cameron Mathison Thinks Drew Cain Deserved Everything Willow Tait Did to Him on General Hospital
Cameron Mathison went on Good Morning America and said Drew Cain deserved everything Willow Tait did to him on General Hospital.
CAMERON MATHISON WENT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION AND TOLD AMERICA THAT WILLOW TAIT WAS RIGHT TO DESTROY DREW CAIN
TL;DR: Cameron Mathison appeared on Good Morning America and openly declared that Drew Cain’s horrific behavior is the reason Willow Tait snapped on General Hospital. When the man who plays the villain tells America the villain had it coming, you know Drew Cain crossed every line there was to cross.
Drew Cain’s Own Actor Threw Him Under the Bus on Live Television
Cameron Mathison sat down on the Good Morning America couch this week, looked America in the eye, and said what every General Hospital fan has been screaming at their screens for months. Drew Cain deserved it. All of it.
When asked about Willow keeping Drew paralyzed, drugging him, and holding him captive in his own body like a scene straight out of Misery, Mathison didn’t defend his character. He didn’t spin it. He didn’t play both sides. He said, and we quote, that you can blame Drew for most of what Willow has done to him because she is reacting to horrible, horrible things his character did to her.
The man who has inhabited Drew Cain’s skin for nearly five years went on national television and picked Team Willow. We need a moment.

He Even Went to the Producers When Drew Went Too Low
Here’s what really got us. Mathison didn’t stop at saying Drew was a bad person. He revealed that there was one storyline so dark, so repulsive, that he personally went to the producers and asked them to dial it back. It was when Drew manipulated eleven-year-old Wiley into believing his own father didn’t love him anymore, all to serve Drew’s selfish agenda.
Mathison told GMA he walked into that producer’s office and said it was too much. As a father himself, filming those scenes was horrible. And the show kept it in anyway. Drew looked at a child, weaponized his love for his father, and broke that kid’s heart for leverage. Mathison called it the lowest thing Drew has ever done, and given Drew’s resume of depravity, that is saying something.
America Has Been Throwing Apples at This Man
The reaction to Drew’s villainy has gone beyond social media comments and angry tweets. Mathison told Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan that people have thrown apples at him in the supermarket. Someone rolled up a magazine and hit him with it. A car nearly ran him over on the street. The audience hatred for Drew Cain has spilled off the screen and into Cameron Mathison’s actual life, and the actor is laughing about it because he knows his character earned every last piece of produce hurled in his direction.
Roberts herself pointed out that Mathison is one of the nicest people in the industry. His response? That the contrast between who he is and who Drew has become makes the whole experience bizarre. He’s never played anyone this dark in thirty years of daytime television, and he told GMA that his favorite part of his entire run has been Drew’s descent into villainy.
What This Means for Drew Going Forward
Mathison called Drew’s current state a karma situation. He described Willow as a woman who has held him captive, injected poison into him, and left him unable to do anything but listen and blink. And then he told America to blame Drew for it.
This matters because it tells us something about where this story is going. When an actor celebrates his character’s downfall on national morning television, when he tells the hosts to take it easy on the woman who shot his character in the back and paralyzed him, when he says bring it on to whatever comes next, that is a man who knows Drew Cain’s punishment is far from over. And if even Cameron Mathison is rooting for Willow Tait, then Drew Cain has officially lost the last ally he had left. Himself.
Is Drew getting what he deserves or has Willow taken it too far? Pick your side, get loud about it, and share this with every GH fan you know!
