MONICA’S WILL READING INTERRUPTED BY DREW CAIN BEING A WHINY BABY, PROBABLY
TL;DR: These GH spoilers for Monday, October 6 bring the reading of Monica Quartermaine’s will – an emotional, devastating moment for the family she loved. Also happening: Drew Cain is “on the warpath” again because apparently nobody’s taught this man that stomping around Port Charles like an angry toddler who got his juice box taken away isn’t actually an effective life strategy. Let’s explore the beautiful irony of a beloved matriarch’s legacy being honored while Captain Mediocrity has another meltdown.
Monica’s Will: A Moment That Actually Matters
Monica Quartermaine’s (Leslie Charleson) will is being read on Monday’s General Hospital, and this is going to be one of the most emotional, significant moments the show has done in years. Monica was the heart and soul of the Quartermaine family for DECADES. She survived family drama, medical crises, countless rivalries, and somehow maintained her grace, dignity, and moral compass through all of it.
The reading of her will isn’t just about who gets what – it’s about Monica’s final words to the family she loved. It’s about her legacy, her values, and the impact she had on everyone in Port Charles. This woman was chief of staff at General Hospital, a pillar of the community, and the glue that held the Quartermaines together even when they were at their most dysfunctional.
Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth), Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton), and the rest of the family are going to have to hear Monica’s final wishes and try to honor her memory while processing their grief. It’s going to be heartbreaking, beautiful, and a fitting tribute to Leslie Charleson’s incredible legacy on this show.
This is the kind of moment that reminds us why we watch General Hospital – for the family dynamics, the history, the emotional weight of characters we’ve loved for years.
And then there’s Drew.
Drew Is “On the Warpath” (Again. Still. Forever.)
Oh good, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) is having ANOTHER tantrum. Alert the media. Stop the presses. A man with the emotional regulation skills of a caffeinated hamster is once again stomping around Port Charles being mad about something.
Let’s be clear: Drew being “on the warpath” is basically his default setting at this point. This man has two modes: insufferably self-righteous or blindly furious. There’s no in-between. No nuance. No “let me take a breath and think about this rationally.” Just pure, unfiltered rage directed at whoever he’s decided is his enemy this week.
What’s Drew mad about this time? Oh, probably everything. He got shot twice (boo hoo, buddy, the suspect list for who wanted that to happen is longer than a CVS receipt). He thinks Michael tried to kill him. He lost control of Aurora. He’s being investigated for bribing a judge. His reputation is in tatters. Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) rejected his marriage proposal. Scout barely tolerates him. Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) wants nothing to do with him.
You know what all of those problems have in common? DREW CAUSED THEM.
Every single disaster in Drew’s life right now is a direct result of his own terrible decisions, manipulation, hypocrisy, and complete inability to think about consequences before acting. But does Drew take any accountability? Does he look in the mirror and think “maybe I’m the problem here”?
Of course not! That would require self-awareness, which Drew has in the same quantity as he has personality: ZERO.
The Beautiful Irony of Monday’s Episode
Here’s what makes Monday’s episode so deliciously ironic: we’re getting Monica’s will reading – a moment celebrating a woman who spent her entire life building bridges, showing compassion, making difficult moral choices, and putting her family first even when they didn’t deserve it.
And juxtaposed against that beautiful tribute to a complex, flawed, but ultimately GOOD person… we have Drew. A man so spectacularly lacking in self-awareness that he’s throwing yet another tantrum while a beloved matriarch’s final wishes are being honored.
Monica spent decades earning respect through her actions, her integrity, and her genuine care for others. Drew spent the last year destroying his reputation by sleeping with his girlfriend’s daughter, manipulating custody cases, potentially bribing judges, and generally acting like a villain who somehow still thinks he’s the hero.
Monica faced adversity with grace. Drew faces adversity by accusing everyone around him of conspiracy and playing the victim while actively making everything worse.
Monica built a legacy that people will honor and remember fondly. Drew is building a legacy of “remember that time he was the WORST and everyone wanted him gone?”
The contrast couldn’t be more stark if the writers tried.
What Is Drew Even Warpathing About?
Let’s speculate on what fresh hell Drew is unleashing on Monday, shall we?
Theory One: He’s Accusing Michael (Again) Drew is probably still convinced Michael shot him as part of some elaborate conspiracy involving Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Sidwell, planted evidence, and the ghost of Judge Heran. Never mind that Drew has ZERO proof.
Never mind that Martin Gray warned him he’d be committing perjury if he accuses Michael without evidence. GH spoilers tease Drew doesn’t need silly things like “facts” or “proof” – he has his FEELINGS, and those are apparently sufficient for launching a legal war.
Theory Two: He’s Crashing the Will Reading Imagine the AUDACITY if Drew shows up at Monica’s will reading to cause drama. This is a sacred family moment for the Quartermaines to honor their matriarch, and Drew barges in with his vendetta against Michael, turning a solemn occasion into the Drew Cain Grievance Hour, Episode 47. The disrespect would be ASTRONOMICAL, but also completely in character for someone whose entire personality is “what about ME?”
Theory Three: He’s Warpathing at Literally Everyone Drew is probably just rage-cycling through Port Charles, yelling at anyone within earshot about how WRONGED he’s been, how everyone’s conspiring against him, and how he’s the real victim in all of this. Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner), Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) – nobody’s safe from Drew’s tantrum tour.
Why Drew’s “Warpath” Is Exhausting
Here’s the thing about Drew being on the warpath: IT’S BORING.
We’ve seen this man have the same angry outburst approximately 47 times in the last three months. He gets mad, he makes accusations, he acts self-righteous, he plays victim, rinse and repeat. There’s no character development, no growth, no interesting evolution. Just the same tired tantrum over and over again.
Compare that to the emotional complexity of Monica’s will reading. That’s going to have layers – grief, legacy, family dynamics, unexpected revelations, characters processing their relationships with Monica and each other. That’s INTERESTING. That’s why we watch soaps.
Drew stomping around being mad? That’s the narrative equivalent of watching paint dry, except the paint is beige and also yelling at you about how it’s been wronged by other colors.
The Quartermaines Deserve Better
The Quartermaine family is dealing with the loss of their matriarch. They’re processing grief, honoring Monica’smemory, and trying to figure out how to move forward without the woman who held them together for decades.
The LAST thing they need is Drew barging in with his drama, his accusations against Michael, and his complete inability to read a room. This family deserves to mourn in peace without Captain Mediocrity turning everything into the Drew Cain Pity Party, Extended Director’s Cut.
Tracy, Ned, Michael, Brook Lynn, and everyone else gathering to honor Monica shouldn’t have to deal with Drew’snonsense. They’ve been through enough. Let them have this moment without Drew making it about himself (challenge level: IMPOSSIBLE for this man).
Monica’s Legacy vs. Drew’s… Whatever This Is
Let’s do a quick comparison, shall we?
Monica Quartermaine:
Drew Cain:
One of these legacies is worth celebrating. The other is worth… well, writing snarky articles about, at minimum.
What Monday’s GH Spoilers Really Tells Us
Monday’s GH spoilers are essentially a microcosm of what General Hospital does well versus what it does POORLY.
What it does well: Emotional family moments rooted in history and character. Monica’s will reading is going to honor Leslie Charleson’s legacy and give the Quartermaine family a meaningful story that respects their history. This is GH at its best.
What it does poorly: Giving Drew screentime to have the same tantrum he’s been having for months while contributing nothing interesting to any storyline. This is GH at its most frustrating.
The show works when it focuses on complex family dynamics, characters with depth, and stories that honor the show’s rich history. It DOESN’T work when it gives us Drew being angry for the 47th consecutive episode with no character growth or interesting development.
Our Prediction for Monday
Here’s how Monday probably plays out:
The Quartermaine family gathers for Monica’s will reading. It’s emotional, beautiful, and devastating in all the right ways. Tracy probably gets the bulk of the estate because she and Monica had that complicated but loving relationship. Michael gets something meaningful that reminds him of his grandmother’s values. Everyone cries, shares memories, and honors Monica’s legacy.
Meanwhile, Drew is somewhere else in Port Charles yelling at someone about how wronged he is. Maybe he confronts Michael again with baseless accusations. Maybe he rants to Curtis or Martin about conspiracies. Maybe he just stands in front of a mirror and practices his “I’m a victim” speech for the 500th time.
The Quartermaines honor a woman who actually mattered. GH spoilers show Drew throws a tantrum that nobody cares about. The end.
The Bottom Line
Monday’s General Hospital gives us the best and worst of what the show can do. Monica’s will reading represents everything that makes GH special – history, family, emotional depth, and honoring beloved characters. Drew’s warpath represents everything that’s frustrating about current GH – repetitive storylines, characters with no self-awareness, and giving screentime to people nobody wants to watch.
One of these stories matters. The other is just noise.
Tune in Monday to cry during Monica’s will reading and roll your eyes during whatever Drew’s doing. It’s the General Hospital viewing experience in a nutshell!
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC and streams on Hulu. Watch Monday to honor Monica’s legacy and endure Drew’s latest tantrum!
