General Hospital’s Jordan just gave Drew exactly what he wanted, which is probably why this could work so well for her. Drew thinks he talked his way back into Aurora, but Jordan knows perfectly well that he cannot be trusted, and Michael knows it, too. Instead of locking Drew out and forcing him to scheme from the hallway, Jordan may have put him where she can actually watch what he does.
Key Takeaways
- Jordan gave Drew access to Aurora because she wants to keep a closer eye on him.
- Drew believes he talked his way back into a position of influence.
- Michael and Jordan both know Drew cannot be trusted.
- Jordan may be able to use Drew’s confidence against him while learning what he is really planning.
Jordan Lets Drew Think He Won
Drew (Cameron Mathison) showed up at Aurora just as Jordan (Tanisha Harper) was getting settled in as temporary CEO and immediately asked to be more involved as an advisor. Michael (Rory Gibson) shut him down because he did not trust him, which was reasonable considering Drew has spent months giving people reasons not to. Then Jordan surprised both men by telling Michael that Drew knows Aurora inside and out and might be worth using.
That looked like a win for Drew, and he certainly treated it that way. Michael left the decision to Jordan, Drew promised they would not regret it, and he walked out believing he had regained a foothold in the company. Confidence has never exactly been Drew’s problem, so letting him feel comfortable could be the useful part here.
Jordan cleared up the mystery as soon as Drew left. She told Michael she did not trust Drew at all and was simply keeping her enemy close. That changes the whole meaning of her decision because this was not Jordan being fooled by Drew’s apology tour. It was Jordan choosing access over distance.

Jordan May Get More From Drew Up Close
Shutting Drew out completely would only make him more careful. He would know Michael and Jordan considered him a threat, so every move would come with an extra layer of caution. Giving him a place at Aurora may make Drew believe he has room to operate, and people tend to reveal more when they think they are the smartest person in the room.
Jordan is also in a strong position because she does not need to pretend Drew suddenly became trustworthy. She can listen, watch where his attention goes, and see what he tries to influence without handing him actual control. Drew wants access to Aurora, but Jordan gets something in return: a front-row seat to whatever he is planning next.
That could matter quickly because Drew is already focused on rebuilding his power and taking Sonny (Maurice Benard) down. If Jordan keeps him close while remembering exactly who she is dealing with, Drew may eventually tell her more than he intended. For once, his confidence could be the thing that works against him.
