Drew Cain has gone from a stand-up guy to a manipulator, blackmailer, and master of emotional warfare! But could this drastic change be the result of outside forces? Is it possible Drew was brainwashed during his time in prison? 😱

Drew Cain, once known for his strong moral compass and integrity, has left General Hospital fans in shock with his recent transformation. Gone is the upright man we once knew, replaced by someone who has descended into a world of manipulation, blackmail, and psychological warfare. So, how did Drew get here? What caused such a drastic shift?

Drew’s journey through trauma is no secret. He was once kidnapped by Victor Cassadine and held captive in a secret facility, where he endured experimentation and mental manipulation. Though he eventually escaped with help from Jason Morgan and others, the psychological scars from his captivity seem to have lingered.

After returning to Port Charles, Drew sought to rebuild his life, reconnecting with his daughter, Scout, and even taking the fall for Carly Spencer’s insider trading scandal, which landed him back in prison. But once behind bars, something changed in Drew. Upon his early release, it became evident that the darkness now clouding his moral decisions wasn’t just a result of past trauma—it seemed like something deeper was at play.

Many General Hospital fans now speculate that Drew may have been brainwashed or manipulated during his time in Pentonville. One fan expressed their thoughts on Facebook: “Drew isn’t crazy, and he’s not Shiloh. He could have been brainwashed again. After being kidnapped, having his memory erased, and being manipulated twice before, it’s totally possible he was influenced again in prison.”

The theory gained more traction after the July 23 episode aired. Willow, who was previously involved in kidnapping Sasha and Michael’s baby, is now supporting Drew’s blackmail plan without hesitation. When Portia exposed Drew’s scheme to frame Michael as an opioid addict, Willow responded by saying she would do “anything” to get her kids back.

This has led fans to wonder: Could Drew’s radical shift be tied to his traumatic past and possible brainwashing? If General Hospital chooses to explore this, could this be Drew’s chance at redemption?

Will Drew find his way back from the darkness, or will he remain trapped in the moral abyss?
