Ever since returning from a German burn clinic, Michael has had bags of drama to deal with on General Hospital<\/a>. His uncle, the nefarious Congressman Drew Cain, has gone to great lengths to destroy Michael\u2019s life<\/a> and anyone close to him. Drew recently threatened that he would let Sonny take the blame for bribing a judge if Michael didn\u2019t give Willow full custody of the kids. As the tension between the two mounts, the truth behind the scenes tells a much different story about the two actors who bring the feud to life.<\/p>\n Rory Gibson (Michael) admitted to Soap Opera Digest<\/a> that the sharp difference between what fans see on screen and what happens once the cameras stop rolling is almost comical. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of funny,\u201d grins Gibson of the sharp contrast between his on- and off-screen dynamic with Drew\u2019s Cameron Mathison.<\/p>\n Often, what ends up happening between Drew and Michael is that they end up \u201cdeath-staring at each other,\u201d with neither one willing to blink first and give in. \u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018No, man, I\u2019m gonna win this situation!\u2019 \u201d he remarked. But the animosity remains on camera because when they stop rolling, he described Mathison as being, \u201cJust such a nice, cool guy.\u201d<\/p>\n READ THIS:<\/strong> Find out what\u2019s happening next on GH.<\/a><\/p>\n He compared having Mathison as a scene partner to working with Katelyn MacMullen (Willow). Gibson explained that when he and MacMullen have scenes, \u201cI feel like we\u2019re just screaming at each other, and then behind the scenes it\u2019s just, like, laughs and hugs and high fives.\u201d Before the two have to work together, he explained that they go from the laughs to, \u201cLet\u2019s go to war!\u201d<\/p>\n READ THIS:<\/strong> Can Drew be redeemed?<\/a><\/p>\n He praised Mathison further as being \u201cA great dude that does a really, really good job at playing a not-great dude!\u201d He remarked that Mathison\u2019s performances always impress him. When he finds himself in a situation where Michael has to face off against both Drew and Willow, it can feel like being in \u201cenemy territory,\u201d but once the cameras stop rolling, they yuck it up like old friends.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported on Soap Hub<\/a> on August 29, 2025.
