General Hospital continues to stir up heated debates, especially when it comes to Drew Cain. Once viewed as a decent character, Drew has now crossed into full villain territory, leaving fans furious. His schemes have grown darker, and his personal choices have pushed viewers over the edge.
General Hospital: Cameron Mathison Understands the Backlash
Cameron Mathison, who plays Drew, isn’t blind to the hatred his alter ego receives. Recently, Drew provoked Michael into a heated fight by using little Wiley as bait. The manipulation was too much for Michael, who finally snapped and landed a punch. Mathison shared the clip on Instagram, joking, “I had it coming.”
That small reaction proved Mathison knows just how awful Drew has become. Fans flooded social media with support for Michael and cheers over Drew’s much-deserved punch. One viewer even wrote that they rewatched the hit countless times, just to enjoy seeing Drew take the fall.
Drew’s downward spiral started after his romance with Willow. Since then, every move has fueled fan outrage. Viewers believe he has become one of the most hated characters in soap history. Soap fans are never shy about voicing their opinions, and in Drew’s case, the feedback has been brutal.
Even Mathison has experienced that intensity off-screen. At one point, a fan threw things at him while he was shopping, making it clear how much viewers despise Drew. Mathison, however, separates himself from his character and takes the heat in stride.
While Drew is now seen as manipulative and cruel, Mathison has shown he’s nothing like his character. By laughing at the chaos and acknowledging Drew’s flaws, Mathison has earned respect from fans who otherwise want Drew gone. His awareness helps lighten the mood and reminds viewers that behind the drama, he’s just playing a role.
General Hospital thrives on strong emotions, and Drew Cain is now at the center of fan outrage. But Cameron Mathison has proven he can handle the backlash with humor and humility. As Drew’s storyline grows darker, fans will keep voicing their disapproval, but Mathison continues to show why he’s admired both on and off screen.
