After weeks of shake-ups, General Hospital fans have zeroed in on the next character they want gone: Drew. A heated Facebook thread saw viewers overwhelmingly pick him as their top choice for an exit.

General Hospital has been busy shaking up the canvas lately. And if you believe the latest fan chatter, a lot of viewers are ready to see one character take a permanent Port Charles exit: Drew.

Where this is coming from

This all started with a Facebook discussion in a General Hospital fan group. One user tossed out a pretty blunt prompt:

"If you were the head writer at General Hospital, which character would you kill off?"

Comments poured in. Plenty of names got tossed around, but the drumbeat for Drew was loud and consistent. One reply summed up the vibe pretty cleanly:

"I think we can all agree, Drew."

Other fans broadened the wish list, naming multiple characters they would happily write off. But even in those longer lists, Drew kept landing at the top.

Who else fans mentioned

  • Sonny
  • Alexis
  • Kristina
  • Portia
  • Willow
  • Anna

Why Drew is catching heat

The frustration tracks back to Drew's recent behavior on the show. Over the past few months, his choices have gotten messier and more confrontational. His interference in Willow's life has done real damage, and his various schemes have ricocheted into other storylines, leaving a trail of fallout. In other words: if you feel like he's been playing the heavy lately, you're not alone.

The inside baseball of it all

To be clear, this is fan talk, not a spoiler or an ABC memo. But here is the irony: Drew has been such an effective antagonist lately that the writers might keep him around precisely because he stirs the pot. Few characters have driven this much reaction in recent months, and soaps live on that kind of energy.

That said, if the audience keeps banging the same drum, daytime logic usually demands a reckoning sooner or later. The word right now is that there are more Drew-centric arcs on the way, so expect the temperature around him to stay high for a bit. Whether that ends in redemption, handcuffs, or a dramatic exit… we will see.
