I’m not going to pretend Willow comes out of this untouched — the truth about who shot Drew changes everything. For so long, Willow has lived in survival mode, soft-spoken, forgiving, always trying to hold the peace together. But once the truth explodes, something inside her finally shifts. This isn’t about shock anymore; it’s about awakening. The Willow fans think they know wouldn’t survive what’s coming next. She’s done absorbing damage in silence and calling it grace. After the reveal, Willow stops reacting and starts deciding. And that’s the dangerous part. Because when a woman who’s been underestimated finds her backbone, she doesn’t just heal — she rewrites the rules, and everyone around her feels it.

General Hospital finally revealed that Willow was the one who shot Drew, and she appears to have no remorse about her actions. Katelyn MacMullen opened up about the change in her alter ego following the big reveal.

A More Determined Willow
The news that Willow (MacMullen) shot Drew (Cameron Mathison) is just the latest change in the character who was once considered a nice and sweet woman. Losing her kids flipped a switch in Willow that’s definitely reminding GH fans of her twin sister, Nelle (Chloe Lanier).

MacMullen teased even more drama coming as this new Willow emerges. “She’s shocked and determined. There was so much pent-up anger, and it’s finally come out,” she hinted to TV Insider.

The actress was “shocked” and “excited” to learn that Willow shot Drew. MacMullen feels Willow finally got a clue about what Drew was doing to her, which was why she shot him. However, Willow’s ultimate goal is to reunite with her children, and she will do literally anything to make that happen.

MacMullen admitted there’s more to come for Willow, and she couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of it. “The cool thing about this story is that it’s gone in so many different directions, and the possibilities are endless, and I’m excited to see where it goes,” she shared.

For eight years, MacMullen played Willow a certain way, so having a switch-up in the character was a refreshing change for the actress. She also admitted that “it’s meant everything” to her that the writers have trusted her with such a juicy storyline.
