This week on General Hospital, Cameron Mathison (ex-Ryan, All My Children) makes his debut as the new Drew as he calls Sam (Kelly Monaco).
“I actually call her to say I’m in trouble,” shares Mathison in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “He reaches out for a good reason. She’s obviously incredibly important to him. They’ve got a child together, which the audience already knows, and that daughter is everything in the world to him. He reaches out to Sam because he really believes that help will follow.”
Mathison assumes the role from Billy Miller, who first played “Jake” in 2014. Jake was later believed to be Jason and then revealed to be Drew Cain, Jason’s twin. Miller exited the role in 2019. Steve Burton also played Drew in flashbacks in 2019. “I feel like there’s enough that has been sort of untapped. There is an opportunity for me to bring my own take and version of this great character,” continued Mathison in the same interview.
