General Hospital Spoilers: Will Drew Attend Monica’s Funeral — or Will He Be Kept Away?
General Hospital spoilers reveal Port Charles is cloaked in grief as news breaks this week that Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) has passed away, leaving a void in the heart of the Quartermaine family.
The matriarch’s quiet death in her sleep sets the stage for a poignant funeral, but one question looms: will Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), fresh off surviving his shooting, show up to pay his respects?
Monica had banished him from the mansion for his ruthless schemes — like ruining Michael Corinthos’ (Rory Gibson) marriage to Willow Ti (Katelyn MacMullen) — so his presence might not be welcome. Who could block his attendance, and will he defy the family to honor her?
Drew’s Tenuous Tie to Monica
Drew’s estrangement from Monica was no secret — her fury over his ELQ power grabs and betrayal of Michael led to his exile from the family home
. Even in her frail state, Monica stood firm, viewing Drew as a stain on the Quartermaine legacy. If he’s out of the hospital post-shooting, attending her funeral could be his attempt to make amends or save face as her “son” (albeit through Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) memories).
But his recent scandals make him a pariah — will he dare show up, knowing the family’s resentment runs deep? If so, how is that going to work out with Quartermaine tempers flaring alongside mobsters and cops in the mix?
Who Might Stop Him?
Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) tops the list of gatekeepers — she is fiercely protective of Monica’s memory and loathes Drew’s antics. She could bar him outright, citing his disgrace to avoid drama at the memorial.
Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) might back her, wary of Drew stirring tension, while Michael could block him to protect the family’s unity.
A wildcard? Monica’s rumored sister, possibly played by Erika Slezak, arriving to claim her stake — her presence could fuel a showdown if she sees Drew as an interloper. Even hospital staff like Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) might intervene, citing Drew’s health or propriety.
Funeral Fallout or Redemption?
If Drew attends, it could spark fireworks — Tracy’s icy glare or a public spat with Jason, who’s delivering a eulogy, might steal focus from Monica’s tribute.
Fans speculate he’ll push through, seeking redemption, but a cold reception could deepen his isolation.
If kept away, perhaps by a restraining order or family vote, Drew’s absence might fuel his resolve to reclaim his place. Will he honor Monica’s memory, or be shut out for good? Keep checking back with us for more GH news and spoilers right around the corner.
