They can\u2019t just have people not like me. They have to have people want to kill me! And in order to have multiple people want to kill you, you\u2019ve got to be pretty despicable \u2014 and they\u2019ve done a really good job with that with Drew!\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n The writers certainly made us hate Drew. Mathison has endured a lot of backlash amid Drew\u2019s downfall. However, as Parade<\/a> reported, Mathison\u2019s co-stars have come out to defend him amid the Drew hate.<\/p>\n Mathison also trusted the acting process to allow him to bring the ugly side of Drew out. For those wondering, no, he did not agree with his alter ego\u2019s behavior. The actor would often read a script and shake his dead in disbelief at Drew\u2019s latest actions.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no question that Drew\u2019s shooting has fans in their feels,<\/a> and Mathison wanted to help make that happen by crafting the scene correctly.<\/p>\n \u201cI was really excited to take it on. It\u2019s not every day that you get to take a gunshot on camera, and I really wanted to get that right and fall hard. And then, from the audience perspective, I knew, \u2018The viewers are gonna love this!\u2019 They all want to shoot Drew! Everybody wants Drew shot and dead. So I wanted to make sure that I gave them my all,\u201d Mathison expressed.<\/p>\n The actor is beyond excited for the fallout of the highly anticipated shooting, especially considering the lengthy suspect list. Mathison even compared the aftermath to the Who Shot JR (Larry Hagman<\/strong>) frenzy from Dallas back in the \u201880s.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s very in line with the \u2018Who Shot JR?\u2019 story,\u201d the actor stated.<\/p>\n Fall in Port Charles will be filled with drama as the Who Shot Drew storyline brings new twists, turns, and unexpected alliances.<\/p>\n General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 3, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
