Andrew Cain's storyline on General Hospital
Drew Cain, a former Navy SEAL, is the biological son of Dr. Alan Quartermaine. He arrived in Port Charles in 2014 and was initially mistaken for his twin, Jason Morgan. Drew and Jason were born to Susan Moore, who had an affair with the married Alan Quartermaine. To keep her children safe from the Quartermaines, Susan sought help from her cousin, Heather Webber.
After the death of Susan Moore, Jason Morgan was adopted by Monica Quatermaine. As for Andrew Caine, Heather Webber gave him to Betsy Frank, who was a nurse, but after three years, she gave him up to foster for his better good. Drew grew up in foster care, where he got his last name, Cain.
However, in the recent storyline, Drew is aware of his real parentage, and now he is running a political campaign where he decided to use Quatermaine as his last name instead of Cain. His romantic entanglements with Willow Corinthos and Nina Reeves have caused him some significant backlash on the show. This didn't only affect his personal life but also undermined his professional life as a politician.
