From Hallmark to Great American Family, General Hospital’s Cameron Mathison is known for his multitude of good-guy roles. Even the current character he plays started off as one of the good guys. Drew went from Nobleman Navy Seal to Cutthroat Congressman Cain. And don’t forget wife-stealing, home-wrecking Unc.
According to the latest General Hospital news, daytime tv actor and television host Cameron Mathison reacts after GH “fan” comments upset his daughter. The issue is that the here are some so-called General Hospital fans who struggle with the ability to differentiate between reality and fiction; actor vs. character. Mathison’s 19 year old daughter Laila stumbled upon some comments about her father, GH’s Drew Cain, and really didn’t appreciate some of the things that were being posted. The attacks on not only Drew, but Cameron as well struck a nerve with Laila. That’s when she FaceTimed her dad to discuss the disturbing things being said about her father on social media.
Sadly, some people can’t separate fiction from reality, and take out their feelings about a character onto the actors who plays them. As the age old explanation explains, if you hate the character, then the actor is doing their job! Drew Cain’s actions are out of Mathison’s control. So why become so disgruntled about a fictional character to the point of spreading nasty comments about the actor online?
GH Fans Insult Cameron Mathison Over Drew
While Drew Cain might be a vindictive and spiteful narcissist, the actor who plays him is not. In fact, GH cast-mates have chimed into the comments section to show their support for Mathison. Rory Gibson, GH’s Michael Corinthos commented, “The most kind, chill, generous guy on set,” about co-star Cameron Mathison. Additionally, Maurice Benard jumped to Mathison’s defense with his comment, “If you mess with Cameron, you’re gonna have to mess with me and I don’t think you wanna do that.”
The internet’s social media platforms have become today’s version of hate mail. Back in the day disgruntled fans would write into the show to express their dislike for certain characters, storylines, etc. Today, it’s much easier to hide behind the keyboard and spout whatever insults without thinking twice about how the comments affect others.
Mathison’s recent Instagram post reminds fans that their words impact real people. And not just the actors themselves, but family and loved ones as well.
