General Hospital: Drew Finally Walks Again – Actor Reveals Recovery Timeline & Big Humiliation!

General Hospital has Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) still locked in thanks to his awful wife Willow Tait Cain (Katelyn MacMullen). But on a recent podcast, actor Cameron Mathison revealed some exciting new information about when Drew is going to recover, when he’s going to be back on his feet, and how much the actor really dislikes filming in that wheelchair, along with some spicy personal stuff.

We’ve got info on what Cameron Mathison confirmed about Drew’s recovering, including when we’ll see him up and about and what Cameron found humiliating about this storyline.

Drew Has Been Locked In For Four Months on General Hospital

All right. So, as you know, four months ago, on January 21st of this year, right after Willow was acquitted in her criminal trial and found not guilty of shooting Drew, we saw Wicked Willow did another bad thing. They had barely been home a minute when Willow attacked Drew and stabbed him with a syringe. So, that was Willow giving Drew the initial dose that mimicked a stroke.

And since then, Sidwell’s been providing Willow with that serum that keeps Drew locked in, unable to move or speak or do anything for himself. Basically, Willow’s hubby can only blink. And of course, Drew’s been blinking his butt off to anybody that gets close. He tried it with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). It was about a month into Drew’s confinement trying to blink a distress signal. Alexis told Willow, Drew was trying to communicate. And after Alexis told her Willow got hostile with her husband and then gave him another injection.

Michael Suspicious on GH

So, then at the beginning of April, Drew was increasingly desperate and when his nemesis Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) stopped by, Drew was blinking at him too. Now Michael noticed, but unfortunately he mentioned it to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) who played it off as something Drew just did randomly.

So, Michael left without raising an alarm, although he did think that things were kind of off and found it a little strange. But Drew’s best chance so far was with Elizabeth Webber. About a month ago, she was at the house to see Drew and he managed to blink SOS and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) got excited and told Nina, who alerted Willow to shut it down. So, when she talked to Liz, she refused to let Drew have any communication tools. And of course, Liz thought that was strange. But Willow insisted that he was frustrated and she doesn’t want to make Drew feel hopeless. It was bizarre, but it worked and Liz dropped it. But that was the closest that Drew has ever gotten to getting some help.

Things Take a Turn on General Hospital

And now things are shifting because Nina accidentally injected his drug into Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). And of course that meant that Drew missed a dose and his finger started twitching. He got a hold of the phone. He was trying to call 911, but Willow walked in and caught him.

She shut it down and drugged him yet again. But the Jack incident is what should open the door to getting Drew back on his feet because Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) already questioning how two seemingly healthy men both happen to have strokes in Willow’s living room. Also, this past week, Nina injected the drug into Brennan’s IV to keep him locked in so she and Willow have more time to plot exactly how to get them out of this mess.

Cameron Mathison Revealed When Drew Gets Out of the Wheelchair on GH

All right, that’s where we are right now as of Friday. So Cameron Mathison just spilled some tea on when this long, long paralysis story is finally going to end. He was on a podcast recently and he has some funny things to say and some spoilery things to say about Drew’s predicament and recovery and the way this all filmed.

So, the first thing that I thought was funny was Cameron mentioned he was filming one of the wheelchair scenes and he’d been off the set for a week and he came back to shoot Drew scenes, but he was really tan. Now, bear in mind his character is in a wheelchair and stuck inside the house. So, how did he get tan? Right.

And Cameron said he suggested that the writers could mention that somebody left Drew on the back porch and just forgot him out in the sun for a while. And Cameron did say the makeup artists were trying to tone it down a little bit, but he was still super tan.

General Hospital: Cameron Mathison is So Over the Wheelchair

He also talked about being annoyed at Drew being stuck in the wheelchair for so long. So, Cameron had said he had been wanting a meeting with the producers to find out what was going to go on with Drew, when this was going to be done. And Cameron said it’s been five months of him just sitting and blinking as we have all seen. He also griped about the wheelchair they have for Drew.

He said it’s like something from the 1940s. And Cameron Mathison said it’s so bad. He wanted to buy the show a new wheelchair because the one they have Drew in is tiny. And he said that it feels like he is just busting out of it every time they have him there. Maybe that’s why he looks so uncomfortable.

So Cameron said that a few weeks of filming the Drew scenes where he was just sitting doing nothing. He said he was thinking, “Okay, you know, this is pretty easy for work.” And then six weeks later, Cameron said by then he was just kind of over it. And after five months of Drew just sitting and sitting, he said that at that point he was just starting to feel a little humiliated.

Cameron Gets Answers from General Hospital Producers

And Cameron also said that fans ask him all the time, “When will Drew be out of the chair?” Cameron also said he got that meeting he wanted with producers and got the answers he wanted and he revealed they are about to shoot scenes where Drew finally gets out of the wheelchair. Cameron Mathison said those scenes will tape very soon and they’ll be airing in about a month to six weeks.

So, it sounds like he’s about to be taping the Drew recovery ASAP. And that’s good because Cameron’s tired of sitting and blinking. I think fans are tired of seeing Drew do that, too. And Cameron mentioned that, you know, he knew that he was probably on the back burner as Drew so that General Hospital could emphasize other storylines. He was nice about it.

Cameron Mathison Explained Why He’s So Tan

And also of interest, Cameron explained the reason he’s so tan. He takes this peptide injection called Melanotan 2. Apparently, it also helps build muscle, which we know Drew’s got lots of. And Cameron also talked about how it increases your sexual desire, but Cameron said he doesn’t take it all the time, and when he does, he takes a very small dose. And the Drew actor also shared that he has always had a high sex drive. So, kind of a little bit of TMI on that.

So, when we see Drew looking really tan, I guess we know Cameron’s also feeling pretty lusty, which is kind of weird information to have. There are, you know, all sorts of injectables these days for all sorts of things. Who knew you could take a shot and get tan? Also, the friend of Cameron Mathison’s who was hosting the podcast said that the actor has a stalker and then the Drew actor said he really can’t talk about it because he had to take a police report out and everything. He said he has a PI working on it and a lawyer. So, it’s a big deal.

General Hospital: Cameron Mathison Struggles with the Dating Scene

So, when Cameron talked in another interview I saw recently about just it’s rough dating after divorce, he mentioned that he’d gotten rid of all his dating apps. But on this other podcast, now we find out what may be the real reason that he got rid of those apps because it looks like that he met this chick who’s allegedly stalking him on a dating app. So, this was a really interesting podcast.

Drew Should be Mobile by July Sweeps on GH

In the end, Drew should be out of that chair sounds like for July sweeps. That kicks off on Thursday, June 25th, which is about five weeks from now. And Cameron Mathison said Drew’s recovery should air in like four to six weeks. So, that’s definitely hitting in July sweeps.

The question is, who is going to help him? I’m thinking that Jack’s locked in syndrome is what leads somebody to do some poking around and figure out that Drew needs help. Our leaker said Carly may be the one to figure out what’s wrong and helps him. That would certainly be an interesting choice, but Cameron didn’t give any info on how Drew gets out of the chair or who helps him, just the timing of when it happens.
