Drew on General Hospital has fans outraged all the time. Most recently, it was because of Drew’s request to have Danny (Asher Antonyzy) arrested when Scout (Cosette Abinante) ran away to see her brother.
However, one General Hospital star wants to make it clear that Drew’s portrayer, Cameron Mathison, is nothing like his character. Katelyn MacMullen (Willow) came to Mathison’s defense during an interview with Michael Fairman TV.

“He’s truly phenomenal, and then obviously his work is just incredible. I feel like I learned a lot from working with him because he’s been doing this for a while, and he’s so kind to me, and supportive, and always makes sure that I’m feeling okay,” she expressed.
MacMullen added, “It’s been cool to navigate this storyline with him because we both have been like, ‘What is happening next? What are we doing?’ We’ve kind of had to dive in together. I feel very grateful.”
The actress isn’t the only one of Mathison’s General Hospital costars who has stood up for him as fans hate on Drew. As Paradereported, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) defended Mathison, calling him “lovely.”
Mathison has more than once shared how fans forget he isn’t Drew. The actor recalled a time he got something thrown at him in the grocery store. He has also poked fun at the outrage and used humor to separate himself from his character.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.
