General Hospital Spoilers: Did These Unexpected Enemies Try to Kill Congressman Cain?
General Hospital spoilers report fans are reeling from the shocking shooting of Congressman Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison), and the list of potential culprits is as long as a Port Charles pier!
From Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) to Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), nearly everyone has a motive to take aim at Drew for his ruthless schemes — blackmailing Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), turning on Stella Henry (Vernee Watson), and wrecking lives with his affair with Willow.
But among the suspects, three stand out as the least likely to have pulled the trigger: Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson), Willow, and Sonny. Who’s the real shooter, and why are these three improbable?
Monica: Bedridden and Unlikely
Monica, the Quartermaine matriarch, has every reason to despise Drew for tarnishing the family name with his ELQ power grabs and betrayal of Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson). But her bedridden state makes her an improbable shooter — physically incapable of wielding a gun or sneaking into Drew’s home.
Even with Yuri’s (Cyrus Hobbi) help, orchestrating a hit seems far-fetched for Monica, whose health limits her to verbal sparring. Fans argue her legacy as a moral anchor, despite past scandals, rules her out — she’d sooner disown Drew than shoot him.
Willow’s Dramatic Shock Rules Her Out
Willow, Drew’s former-turned-recently-rekindled flame, had motive aplenty after he upended her life with their affair and custody loss. Yet her near-fainting reaction to news of his shooting — collapsing in shock — suggests she didn’t pull the trigger.
Her desperate plan to fake love for Drew to regain her kids shows she needed him alive, not dead. Willow’s emotional meltdown points to genuine surprise, not guilt, making her a less likely suspect compared to vengeful players like Curtis or Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros).
Sonny: A Changed Man Since Nixon Falls
Sonny, targeted by Drew’s waterfront blackmail, seems a prime suspect, but his restraint since his Nixon Falls transformation makes him unlikely.
Post-amnesia, Sonny has leaned toward legal paths, avoiding the rash of violent hits of his past. Ordering or executing a shooting would undo his redemption arc, and with allies like Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) watching his back, he’d likely outsource retribution differently.
His recent quip about Drew’s fate feels more like bravado than intent. With Monica, Willow, and Sonny less likely, the spotlight shifts to suspects like Curtis, enraged over Stella; Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), fuming over Emily ‘Scout’ Cain’s (Cosette Abinante) restraining order; or even Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr), flipped by Drew’s lies.
Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) investigation will dig into alibis and motives, but with so many enemies, pinpointing the culprit is no easy task. Will Drew’s survival reveal the shooter, or deepen the mystery? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to find out whodunnit.
