The last thing anyone expected Willow to do after being found not guilty was stab Drew in the neck with a syringe, and the January 21, 2026 episode of General Hospital showed us the aftermath of her master plan.
Key Takeaways
- Willow rushed Drew to the hospital , claiming he had stroke symptoms.
- Lucas diagnosed Drew with a massive stroke that could leave him with locked-in syndrome.
- Willow ditched her syringe at GH without anyone noticing.
Drew’s Out of the Picture
When Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) finally surfaced on today’s episode, it was through a panicked voice on the other end of Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) phone. She told her mother something had happened to Drew (Cameron Mathison), and the next thing we know, everyone is rushing to GH.
While Lucas (Van Hansis) treated the congressman, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) asked Willow what happened. Being a nurse who knows her stuff, Willow spun a story about Drew experiencing stroke symptoms before collapsing to the floor, and Elizabeth bought every word. (Did you catch this Easter egg from when Willow shot up Drew?).
But Kai (Jens Austin Astrup), not so much. He didn’t believe a single tear Willow was shedding for her husband, being one of the few people in Port Charles who know she’s guilty of shooting him back in September.
When Lucas arrived with a diagnosis, he told everyone that Drew suffered a massive stroke that could lead to limited mobility, or even locked-in syndrome. And with Drew now “trapped in his body,” as Tracy (Jane Elliot) so lovingly put it, this will allow every person he hurt to confront him without consequences.
Portia (Brook Kerr) will certainly want to stop by his room when she learns the news after her meeting with the GH board, while Michael (Rory Gibson) would love the chance to give his uncle a piece of his mind once and for all. And as for Jason (Steve Burton), he just needs to focus on not getting accused of what happened to his brother.
General Hospital spoilers for January 22 reveal that Lucas will be left sharing devastating news, presumably about Drew’s condition, while Tracy questions Jason about what happened to their shared enemy.
