TL;DR: In the November 10 episode of General Hospital, Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) collapsed outside Bobbie’s after Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) laughed at him during a medical emergency and walked away, believing Ned was faking a heart attack like Edward Quartermaine once did with Tracy Quartermaine.
Picture this: Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) is living her absolute BEST life in France right now. Spa treatments. Wine tastings. Probably wearing fabulous scarves and reminding everyone why she’s the most iconic Quartermaine to ever Quartermaine.
But that peaceful European vacation? It’s about to come to a SCREECHING halt.
Because right now, at this very moment, Tracy has NO idea that Ned nearly DIED outside Bobbie’s on Monday’s episode. She doesn’t know that Drew LAUGHED in Ned’s face during a medical emergency. And she DEFINITELY doesn’t know that Drew just… walked away? Left him there? On the GROUND?
When Tracy gets that phone call—and trust me, it’s COMING—Drew better start packing his bags and hiring a bodyguard!
What Happened to Ned at Bobbie’s?
Yes, Ned Quartermaine suffered what appears to be a heart attack outside Bobbie’s after Drew Cain cruelly assumed Ned was faking the medical emergency, laughed at him, then walked away leaving Ned collapsed on the ground. The episode started innocently enough with Ned running into Gio (Giovanni Mazza) at the coffee shop, all excited about getting the Quartermaine heirlooms back to the mansion now that Tracy officially owns the place. He thanked Gio for helping his mother see through Ronnie’s scheme and talked about family legacy.
But here’s where the warning signs started showing up—and looking back now, they were TEXTBOOK symptoms we all missed! While chatting with Gio, Ned seemed to be breathing heavier than usual. At one point, he even made a comment about possibly eating too much because his stomach felt full. Those were classic heart attack warning signs disguised as casual conversation!
As Ned stepped outside Bobbie’s, he called the movers asking for an update on the delivery of those precious family treasures. And then came the bombshell that started this whole nightmare: the movers might have LOST the boxes! Can you imagine? All those irreplaceable family heirlooms—photos, documents, mementos spanning GENERATIONS of Quartermaine history—just gone?

How Did Drew Betray the Quartermaine Family?
Drew Cain deliberately intercepted the Quartermaine heirlooms and had them shipped to his house instead of the mansion, then laughed at Ned during a heart attack before walking away and abandoning him on the ground outside Bobbie’s. Just as Ned was panicking about those lost boxes, Drew came strolling up and overheard the call. And what did our resident villain do? He PROUDLY BOASTED that the boxes were exactly where they should be—at HIS house!
Drew actually claimed that because he’s “as much a Quartermaine” as Ned, he deserves those heirlooms. Never mind that Drew has ZERO memories of any of those items. Never mind that he has no emotional connection to the family history. Never mind that Monica’s will SPECIFICALLY left the mansion to Tracy! This was pure spite. Calculated. Cruel. UNFORGIVABLE.
Ned rightfully EXPLODED and shouted at Drew, calling this out for what it was—THEFT driven by malice. He even threatened to sue Drew, which honestly? Someone needs to legally destroy this man! But then everything went horribly, terrifyingly wrong. Suddenly, Ned clutched his chest and grabbed onto a chair, trying to stabilize himself.
This was REAL. This was SERIOUS. This was a man having a legitimate medical emergency! And what did Drew do in this moment when a family member was clearly in distress? He LAUGHED in Ned’s face! Drew actually had the AUDACITY to joke that Ned was “doing a bad job at faking a heart attack” like Edward Quartermaine did with Tracy years ago!
Then Drew just walked away. On his cane. Left Ned there. And Ned COLLAPSED to the ground!
Why Is This Betrayal So Devastating for Tracy?
This scene deliberately mirrors Tracy Quartermaine’s infamous 1980 moment when she denied Edward Quartermaine his heart medication, making Drew’s cruelty the EXACT sin that got Tracy banished from the family for decades. Long-time General Hospital fans know that Tracy’s decision to withhold Edward’s pills during his “loyalty test” became her defining sin. The act that got her BANISHED. The moment that haunted her for DECADES and shaped her entire character arc!
Now we’re watching Drew—Alan Quartermaine’s biological son, the man who’s been desperately trying to claim his Quartermaine birthright—commit the EXACT SAME SIN! But here’s what makes this even MORE twisted: Drew’s assumption that Ned was faking is based on Quartermaine family history that Drew himself wasn’t even AROUND for! He’s weaponizing a story he probably only heard secondhand to justify abandoning someone having a genuine medical crisis!
The poetic justice is STUNNING! The karma is BEAUTIFUL! The storytelling is PERFECTION!
And Tracy? When she finds out? She’s going to cut that France trip SHORT and come back to Port Charles like a category-five hurricane with a VENDETTA!
What’s Happening With Chase and Willow?
While Ned’s life hung in the balance outside Bobbie’s, Chase (Josh Swickard) made his THIRD visit to Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) at Pentonville Prison—and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) is FINALLY starting to notice something’s not right. Chase brought Willow photographs of her kids and they held HANDS through this intimate moment. The emotional intensity was PALPABLE!
When Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) showed up, Chase explained he wasn’t there as a cop—he was investigating as a “concerned citizen” who still believes Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) should be the prime suspect in Drew’s shooting! But here’s the thing that should have Brook Lynn’s alarm bells RINGING: three prison visits? THREE?
Back at the Quartermaine mansion, Brook Lynn asked Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) to come see her because she’s worried Chase is working overtime to get Willow off the hook. When Dante confirmed those three separate visits, you could see Brook Lynn’s world starting to crack! The way Chase looked at Willow when he brought those photos? The way they held hands? That wasn’t just friendly concern—that was FEELINGS!

What’s Next for Tracy, Drew, and the Quartermaines?
Could this mean Tracy cuts her France trip short within the next few days? Reading between the lines, this medical emergency is going to expose Drew’s cruelty to EVERYONE—there’s no way he can spin “I laughed at someone having a heart attack and walked away” into anything but pure villainy! Don’t be surprised if we see Tracy booking the fastest flight back to Port Charles the moment she gets that devastating phone call about Ned’s collapse!
Something tells me the Quartermaine family is about to rally against Drew like never before. Michael, Brook Lynn, Olivia Quartermaine (Lisa LoCicero)—they’ve ALL had issues with Drew’s increasingly cruel behavior. Tracy’s about to turn the mansion into a war zone, and Drew’s going to find himself completely ALONE! This likely leads to legal warfare over those stolen heirlooms, with Tracy using every connection she has to sue Drew into OBLIVION!
As for Chase and Willow? My gut tells me Brook Lynn is about to put her foot DOWN about these prison visits. Those lingering looks? That hand-holding? That’s emotional infidelity, and Brook Lynn deserves BETTER than watching her husband fall back in love with his ex-wife!
