General Hospital Whodoneit: Was the man in the bar Drew's assassin?

There are many suspects, and one of them might be behind the shooting.

By Cheryl E PrestonPublished 5 months ago 3 min read

General Hospital viewers knew this day was coming when someone would take down Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Dante Falconeri (Dominique Zampragna) wonder, “Who’s at the top of the suspect list?” Let's take a look at who might have pulled the trigger or ordered a hit.

Nina and Willow are suspects

Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is furious at Drew and has had enough of his manipulations of everyone to get his way. Willow Tait (Katelynn MacMullen) gave mixed signals when Drew was arguing with Harrison Chase (Josh Swickart).

When she learned that Judge Eva Heron (Tess Auberjonois) was dead, she realized Drew could not deliver on his promise to get her children back. Willow walked off from her shift at GH, and she may have gone to her ex-fiance''s home to kill him. She has been an emotional wreck for quite some time and is considered by many to be emotionally unstable.

Sonny and Michael have the means

Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) may have ordered a hit on Drew. There was a man in the same bar as Drew before the shooting who picked up a large sum of money from a table. Was this his fee for assassinating the Congressman?

Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) is at his breaking point with his uncle, who even manipulated his son, Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weavor). Like his dad, Michael could have paid someone to take Drew out.

Portia and Curtis have been pushed to the limit

Portia Robinson (Brooke Kerr) is fed up because Drew has ruined her life, and her marriage. She is tired of being blackmailed and said he must be stopped.

Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) has been pushed to the breaking point by the Congressman because hsi continual attacks against his family. Setting Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) up for fraud may have been the last straw.

Jenz and Marco are two peas in a pod

Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) has proven to be a loose cannon and as ruthless as his father, Jenz Sidcwell (Carlo Rota), who told him that Drew was becoming a problem. Sidwell or his son could have hired the man at the bar or someone else to eliminate their problem.

Martin, Alexis, and Carly have motives

Martin Grey (Michael E Knight) is fuming that his client had Stella arrested, among his other misdeeds. Could Martin turn out to be a killer like his brother, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober)?

Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) are both capable of taking matters into their own hands. Alexis threatened Drew in front of witnesses at a restaurant and she was not at home at the time of the shooting.

Carly said she would kill Drew herself in front of Liz Webber (Rebecca Herbst), but this is a little too obvious.

Someone least expected could be guilty

General Hospital could have all of these suspects as a smoke screen for the real killer or attempted murderer. Many of the potential shooters spoke in detail on Tuesday's episode about how they felt about Drew. Could there be someone else who hated him and wanted him dead?

Some spoilers suggested Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrip), but he and Trina Robinson were in Drew's home trying to break into his safe when the Congressman was shot.

What doctor or nurse at General Hospital would honor their oath to do no harm and fight to save Drew's life? Keep tuning in to the Port Charles drama to learn what really happened and whether Congressman Cain lives or dies. He was shot in the back, so if he survives, he might be paralyzed.
