Carly & Sam Prove Drew Has Ptsd & Hits Michael First

In a gripping turn of events on General Hospital, Carly Corinthos finds herself on the brink of an explosive revelation. Drew Cain and Michael Corinthos engage in a conversation that has been a long time coming, marked by a sense of tension and an underlying threat. Previous interruptions by Colleen Spencer prevented Drew and Michael from having a genuine discussion.

Colleen, well-aware of the imminent danger Drew poses to Michael, realizes she cannot be a constant shield by Michael’s side. Drew’s secret, exposed and resulting in widespread criticism, has left him vulnerable to everyone’s judgment. As the repercussions unfold, Drew agrees to accept the consequences of his actions and decides to go to jail, with the understanding that he must aid Colleen in securing her freedom.

However, Drew’s freedom comes with its own set of challenges. He undergoes a significant personality shift after suffering serious injuries, possibly indicative of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Sam McCall and Colleen discover this concerning change and fear that Drew may lose control, potentially committing a crime.

As anticipated, Drew’s struggle intensifies, and it becomes evident that he must eventually return to reason. The turning point occurs when Drew initiates an attack, targeting someone on his list, and the situation takes an unexpected turn.

Michael, being on Drew’s attack list, faces the imminent threat.

Drew, driven by his past sacrifices for Colleen, feels betrayed as Colleen chooses to remain silent about Nina’s actions. The dynamics between Drew, Colleen, and Michael become increasingly complex, with forgiveness and revenge intertwined. Michael, aware of Nina’s secret, uses it as leverage to make her pay for Colleen’s SEC troubles.

Despite Michael’s efforts to keep Nina away from her daughter, he exhibits internal struggles, torn between forgiveness and his desire to hurt Sunny Kento. During Sunny and Nina’s wedding, Michael prioritizes Sunny’s happiness over Drew’s suffering, leading to a growing resentment from Drew.

In a moment of heightened tension, Drew, unable to contain his anger, prepares to attack Michael. Although Michael attempts self-defense, the situation escalates when Drew unexpectedly rushes in, causing a confrontation. The aftermath sees Michael calling for medical assistance, realizing the gravity of his actions.

As the legal proceedings unfold, Carly, Sam, Colleen, and even Michael testify on behalf of Michael’s self-defense. Drew’s PTSD becomes a pivotal factor that influences the case, ultimately changing Drew’s life forever. The trial sheds light on the intricate relationships and personal struggles, promising a dramatic and transformative storyline in General Hospital.
