The July 28th episode of General Hospital delivered one of the most dramatic wedding scenes in soap opera history. All eyes were on Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) as she tremulously made her way down the aisle. When she reached the altar, Drew (Cameron Mathison) reached for her hand. Willow hesitated but ultimately placed her hand in his.
As the ceremony began and the officiant asked if anyone had reservations, Ava (Maura West) eagerly scanned the pews. Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) shot Nina (Cynthia Watros) a pointed look, but Nina shook her head, indicating she planned to remain silent.
When it was Willow’s turn to speak her vows, everything changed. “Drew,” she began. In a slow-motion shot, she dramatically withdrew her hands from his. Then, her face contorting with rage, she demanded, “Did you sleep with my mother?!”
Drew froze. “What did you just ask me?” he gasped. “You heard me!” Willow hissed, repeating her accusation. She blasted him for vowing to love her forever yet being dishonest. When Drew tried to explain that “before you and I said that we loved—,” Willow cut him off: “Yes or no?!”
Drew confirmed that he and Nina had had “an encounter.” “So it happened just once?” she snapped. “No, it happened more than once,” he conceded. “But I never developed feelings for her.” Willow shot a glance in her mother’s direction, saying she didn’t know if that made it better or worse.
Willow furiously accused Drew of not just compromising her marriage but destroying it. She berated herself for believing Drew when he said she was the only woman he wanted. “Along with my mother!” she shot back. Anguished, she declared that his promise that she could keep her children was just another lie. “I would never, ever, give up my children for you. But that’s exactly what happened,” she concluded. “Every time I listened to you, I gave Michael ammunition against me.”
She accused Drew of not caring about Wiley or Amelia, but being willing to promise anything to get her. “Oh, God,” Willow gasped in horror. “Michael was telling the truth, wasn’t he? Wiley did hear you say that Michael didn’t want him and Amelia anymore.”
Cornered, Drew tried to explain, “That was strategy, pure and simple. I was trying to get your kids back for you, trying to get custody!” Willow snarled, “Your lie hurt my son, Drew. You made it possible for Michael to take my children from me. I trusted you and now I have nothing!” When he reached out to her, she went ballistic, forbidding him from touching her ever again. With that, Willow stormed out of the church, leaving Drew humiliated at the altar.
