Throughout the entire duration of this ugly custody battle, Drew has promised Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) one thing. Amidst it all, the affair, the scandal and backlash of cheating with your husband’s uncle, Michael and Sasha… and their baby, Drew sleeping with Nina, Drew’s wild night with Jacinda, and everything in between- there is one promise that qhas remained constant. Congressman Cutthroat Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) promised Willow that he will help her, and together they will get her kids back.
Drew is ultra fixated on Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) being convicted of his attempted murder. So much so that it almost seems like it’s been Drew’s plan this entire time. Actually, from the moment he was conscious in his hospital bed, Drew wasn’t too shy about revealing his bias. In fact, Drew admitted that he didn’t care who shot him, he just wanted Michael Corinthos to go down for the crime.
Drew Recruits Willow and Nina in an Elaborate Scheme To Get Back Custody Of Willow’s Kids
The latest General Hospital rumors tease that “Who shot Drew Cain?” was all a rouse- an elaborate scheme to follow through with his promise to Willow. Why? Probably because if Michael is convicted of attempted murder, then he’ll be the one unable to see his kids.
General Hospital recaps recall that Michael admitted to Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) that part of his reason to motion for custody was because Willow’s happy with Drew. In other words, he’s jealous and vindictive. And he’s using their children as pawns in his coercive control tactics, and weaponizing the family court system all to stick it to Willow.
Losing custody of your children that you love so dearly could make any mother snap. Michael knew the best way to hurt Willow was by using their children. And to top it off, he tried to control her life using their children – stating over and over that she won’t have access to Wiley and Amelia if she’s with Drew. But even then, even after Willow called things off with Drew, Michael failed to keep his word. He showed Willow no mercy. As previously reported, Steve Burton was right. Willow goes crazy (Daisy, slapping Lucas, etc.), and Michael is the one who pushes her to the brink. It was all part of his calculated plan to watch Willow crumble. He pushed and pushed until she snapped, and then used her “mental state” along with her leukemia and some major lies against her in court.
Coming up on General Hospital, Willow is shaken with relief. According to GH recaps, Willow Tait was found Not Guilty in the attempted murder of her husband, Drew Cain. Now she can focus on regaining custody of her kids. And maybe that was the plan all along…
Drew, Nina, and Willow surely have an odd dynamic. Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is clearly no fan of Drew, and the feeling is mutual. And their for Willow are also mutual. Both Nina and Drew love Willow and they vowed to help her regain custody of Wiley and Amelia.
Just how far would Drew go to be Willow’s hero once again? The way they’ve been talking lately, using the word performance, phrases like your way, and my way… it almost seems like they’re putting on a show. So, are they?
Theories surrounding the Who Shot Drew Cain mystery have run wild for months. Finally, we are honing in on the endgame. So far we know Willow shot Drew, a that the jury found her Not Guilty. But something tells GH fans that the story isn’t quite over just yet….
The fact that Drew isn’t dead. She walked right up to him and shot him. My cat could have made that a kill shot.
Drew never once questioned Willow’s innocence. Not once.
Right before the first BANG Drew muttered something like, “It’s all gonna work out Willow. You’ll see.”
So did Willow and Nina agree to Drew’s elaborate scheme to get back Wiley and Amelia? For Drew to risk his life, and Willow’s freedom- that’s a huge gamble on both of their lives. Willow told ADA Turner (Nazneen Contractor) that she’d do ANYTHING for her kids- does that include risk her freedom so that they can turn the tables on Michael?
Maybe Drew comes through on his promise to Willow.
Maybe all the talk about performance, and how Willow “played” it on the stand is because they are performing.
Drew said to Nina, “This is playing out exactly how I promised Willow it would.” That right there is enough to convince me that this was all Drew’s elaborate scheme to pin his attempted murder in Michael, ultimately regaining custody for Willow.
