Two of the most popular characters on the show are Drew Cain, played by Cameron Mathison, and Willow Tait, played by Katelyn MacMullen.

Debuting in 2014, Drew has changed significantly and grown more complicated as he negotiates family loyalties, love entanglements and ethical challenges. Drawing fresh layers to his character and the running narratives of the program, Drew's relationships with Willow, his niece-in-law, have generated significant tension in recent episodes of General Hospital.

As per the current storyline, Drew's secrets are revealed, and his congressional campaign is threatened, which has thickened the plot between him and Willow. Conflict arises when an inebriated Cody reveals their transgressions.


How is Drew and Willow’s plotline thickening?

Their friendship, which began with mutual respect following Drew's heroic deed of saving Willow's life, has evolved into a stronger emotional one. This adjustment causes stress, particularly given Willow's marriage to Michael.

Drew's lightheartedness contrasted with Willow's hesitancy throughout their elevator ride, highlighting their inner struggles. This incident implied sentiments beyond friendship, creating questions about the future of Willow's marriage.

As the General Hospital story goes on, Drew confides in Willow about his personal problems, which sparks further personal conversations and a meaningful kiss. Their connections with others become more difficult as a result of this growth, especially when Willow's mother, Nina, and Drew's cousin start to cause them anxiety. Their rejection gives the plot an additional level of turmoil.
