General Hospital Shocker: Did Willow Shoot Drew to Take Down Both Drew and Michael?
After Drew Cain is shot in the back, General Hospital fans are zeroing in on Willow as the shooter, fueling buzz that the attack was a calculated move to push both Drew and Michael out of the picture.
General Hospital just dropped a full-on whodunnit: Drew Cain got shot in the back, lived to tell about it, and now everyone in Port Charles is a suspect. And yes, the latest fan theory is as wild as it sounds — some viewers think Willow did it.
Where we are in the story
Drew was ambushed from behind by an unknown shooter. He survived, but whoever is pulling strings behind the scenes is still out there. In the current storyline, Drew has been positioned as a major villain, which means there is no shortage of people who might want him gone.
Why fans are pointing at Willow
The most talked-about suspect right now is Katelyn MacMullen's Willow Tait. The fan theory making the rounds — especially on the General Hospital Fans - Official Facebook page — suggests Willow could have smuggled a gun into the mansion the day she was caught there by Chase. If that sounds like inside baseball, it kind of is, but the gist is simple: she had opportunity.
As for motive, there is plenty. Willow has been spiraling since she lost custody of her two kids to her ex, Michael Corinthos. Meanwhile, Drew has been doing everything he can to control her and call the shots in her life. They were even supposed to get married, and he backed out, which only piled on the emotional damage. Put all that together, and you can see why fans think she might have snapped.
Some viewers think the plan, if it was hers, could be two-for-one: take Drew off the board and let the blame slide to Michael, since there is plenty of tension there already. If Michael gets taken out of her way, Willow could get access to her kids again and make a run at regaining custody. It is a dark theory, but this is a soap — and it tracks within the current arc.
Other names on the suspect board
- Michael Corinthos
- Curtis
- Portia
- Carly
- Nina
- ...and a handful of others with their own grudges
That said, none of this is confirmed on the show. There has been no official reveal, no narrowed list, and no face behind the conspiracy yet. For now, the mystery stays a mystery — and the wait continues for the unmasking.
