Cameron Mathison’s General Hospital status won’t be changing now that he’ll be hosting the Game Show Network’s new series, Beat the Bridge. The actor, who plays Drew Cain, addressed fans’ concerns in an Instagram post, assuring that he’d be staying on the soap. “Got some questions about how this affects General Hospital…it doesn’t!” said Mathison. “I already shot Beat The Bridge last year so Drew isn’t going anywhere.”
