As Drew’s behavior mirrors Nicholas Cassadine’s past downfall, General Hospital fans question if it’s time to end Drew’s storyline permanently instead of recasting.
Addressing the Drew Situation on General Hospital
Fans of General Hospital are buzzing about Drew’s recent behavior, which feels strikingly similar to the storyline Nicholas Cassadine endured from 2014 to 2016. During that time, Nicholas bought ELQ, clashed with Sam and Jake, lashed out at nearly everyone, and had a toxic relationship with Hayden. Many viewers felt that Tyler Christopher’s Nicholas was poorly written, and his character’s eventual send-off left much to be desired.
Now, Drew seems to be heading down that same destructive path.
A Predictable “Who Killed Drew?” Plot?
With Drew’s increasingly volatile behavior, fans are speculating that the soap is building toward a murder storyline—possibly a classic “Who Killed Drew?” plot. While dramatic, many worry this could lead to a fake death twist, where Drew tries to frame Michael or Jason. For some, this would not only feel repetitive but also risk damaging legacy characters in the process.
Redemption or No Return?
Unlike Nicholas, who later found some redemption through recasts, many believe this version of Drew has gone too far. Out of respect for the late Billy Miller, who originated Drew’s role, and Tyler Christopher, who brought Nicholas Cassadine to life, fans argue that both characters should remain gone.
The show has previously chosen not to recast certain beloved characters after the passing of their portrayers—such as Bobbie Spencer and Epiphany. Monica, too, will never be recast. This precedent has many urging General Hospital to take the same respectful approach with Drew.
Time to Let Drew Go?
For longtime viewers, the answer seems clear: Drew’s arc should come to a natural end. Rather than stretching out a tired storyline or setting up another fake death, General Hospital has the chance to honor both the character’s history and Billy Miller’s memory by closing this chapter once and for all.
