They’re acting shocked, outraged, blindsided — as if Drew just now discovered who Willow really is. But did General Hospital conveniently forget that Drew already knew exactly what she was capable of? He’s seen her manipulate, rationalize, and justify her choices long before this so-called revelation. Pretending this is some sudden moral awakening feels less like character growth and more like selective amnesia. Viewers aren’t confused — we remember. We watched the groundwork being laid, the warning signs ignored, the truths brushed aside when they were inconvenient. This isn’t a plot twist; it’s a rewrite. And the real question isn’t Willow’s behavior — it’s why the show expects us to forget what Drew never did.

Drew’s marriage to Willow was strategic, not romantic, given what he already knew about her actions.

General Hospital finally put the truth on the table: Willow shot Drew. There’s also the quiet, unsettling suggestion that Drew already knows. That revelation matters, but not for the obvious reason. The real issue isn’t whether Drew realized who pulled the trigger. It’s that he’s been here before, having seen this version of Willow up close. And he stayed.

Drew Saw the Signs and Filed Them Away

Back when Baby Daisy kept turning up in the wrong place, Drew (Cameron Mathison) didn’t panic. He figured out Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) was messing with the child to unnerve Sasha (Sofia Mattsson), and didn’t expose his future wife. He watched, listened, and kept the information secret.

That matters now, because what Willow did wasn’t impulsive. It was controlled and planned. She moved the baby to destabilize someone else and did it with calm intention. Drew recognised that. The show made a point of it. He didn’t recoil, and instead seemingly reassessed his viewpoint. In fact, there was a moment where he looked at Willow with pride in his eyes, as if she were his ideal scheming mate.

This is where the narrative shifted. When Drew looks at Willow today, he isn’t seeing a woman trapped by circumstances. He’s seeing someone he already knows is capable of sustained harm when it suits her. That knowledge didn’t scare him off, but made him strategic.

Marriage Was Containment, Not Romance

After the shooting, Drew didn’t distance himself. He married her. That choice only seems baffling if you forget what he already knew. Staying close wasn’t denial–it was control. He walked into the mess with his eyes wide open and chose proximity over principle and leverage over honesty.

The show isn’t asking us to be shocked that Willow is dangerous. That’s already been proven. What it’s asking us to accept is Drew’s comfort level once that danger was confirmed. He didn’t just survive her; he assessed her.

So no, GH didn’t forget the Baby Daisy story. It’s doing something sharper by reminding us that Drew’s moral line didn’t blur overnight. It moved a long time ago while everyone else was distracted. And now, with the truth surfacing and Alexis cornered by impossible choices, that old knowledge is no longer theoretical. It’s active.

Drew didn’t miss the warning signs. Although Willow has grown increasingly repulsed by him, he may be ready to welcome her into his villainous, scheming circle as an equal.
