With the news of Daniel Goddard’s exit, it’s pretty clear that Sidwell’s shot was fatal for the professor. But many General Hospital fans are wondering why this evil character was shot dead instead of everyone’s number one love-to-hate member of Port Charles.
Key Takeaways
- Sidwell shot Dalton dead after the professor became an increasing problem for his operation.
- Drew was shot back in September, but walked away with just a cane and a whodunnit mystery.
- GH fans took to social media to express their frustration over Dalton getting killed instead of Port Charles’ most hated man.
Why Not Drew?
Dalton (Goddard) has been unlikeable from the second he arrived in Port Charles as PCU’s new professor. At first, he was just a slimy professor who tested on animals. But over time, he came so much worse when it was revealed he was actually working with Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and a mystery partner on Faison’s (Anders Hove) final project.
Sure, Dalton getting Rocco (Finn Carr) sent to juvie was everyone’s last straw, including Sidwell’s, but was what he did really worth ending his life over when Port Charles has a worse villain that’s still free to wreak havoc?
Of course, the villain in question would be none other than Drew (Cameron Mathison), who has been Port Charles’ most hated man since the second he laid eyes on a married Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). And Drew’s despicable behavior only escalated from there. He blackmailed Portia (Brook Kerr), got Stella (Vernee Watson) fired from GH, kept Scout (Cosette Abinante) from her entire family, and is most recently attempting to frame Michael (Rory Gibson) for his shooting.
All this to say…why Dalton and not Drew?
“So let me get this straight, they kill Dalton but Drew is still alive?” this GH fan on X (formerly Twitter) wondered, along with a GIF of a very confused Kevin Hart. Another was just as confused, stating, “If they’re going to kill off Dalton and Drew is still around..make it make sense.”
One GH fan asked right out, “Who would you have rather got shot today? Congressman Drew Cane or Dr. Dalton?” along with photos of the two characters, while another asked, “Now can Sidwell do to Drew what he just did to Dalton?”
Others had a kinder approach to revenge on Drew, like this fan’s suggestion. “Can Laura please slap Drew like she did Dalton.. that would make my day, month…entire year.”
While Dalton certainly won’t be missed in Port Charles, it’s got viewers wishing Drew wound up with the same fate.
