Is Cameron Mathison Leaving ‘General Hospital’ for New Game Show Gig?
After much speculation about Cameron Mathison‘s potential departure from General Hospital to host a game show, the actor has finally revealed how his new job will affect his current one.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Mathison will host a new game show called Beat the Bridge for the Game Show Network. Based on the BBC show Bridge of Lies, this show features players as they try to cross an interactive bridge by correctly stepping on specific spots while answering trivia questions. With each step forward, players accumulate cash and receive bonus rewards when they successfully cross the bridge. The show is set to premiere in June.
But with this announcement, fans began to worry if it means that Drew Cain, Mathison’s character on General Hospital, would be leaving Port Charles forever. Luckily, Mathison quickly took to Instagram to reassure fans of Drew’s fate.
“Got some questions about how this affects General Hospital… it doesn’t!” Mathison said. “I already shot Beat the Bridge last year so Drew isn’t going anywhere.”

“I’ve been waiting to share this for a while!” he wrote on Instagram when announcing his new gig. “This summer I’ll be hosting Beat the Bridge on @gameshownetwork! So excited for you all to see it and so grateful to be a part of the GSN family.”
After fans flooded the comment section on this post asking if this new job would be taking him away from playing Drew Cain on General Hospital, Mathison assured them that he had no plans of departing the show.
Mathison made his debut as Drew Cain on General Hospital in 2021. Since then, he has become a beloved character, with fans hoping that he will find a new love after his big breakup with Carly.
He is best known for playing Ryan Lavery on All My Children from 1998 to 2011, as well as hosting The Hallmark Channel‘s Home and Family for three years and starring in multiple Hallmark movies.

O
for the love of God please 🙏 let it be true that Cam'ron Mathison is leaving general hospital. I'm so sick of seeing his face. I also hope that Cynthia Watros is leaving as well. I honestly loath these two actors. They seem to get a lot of screen time & if they where likeable characters, it would be great Evertime there on screen, it's ether nina making excuses on why she's this B or, being sycotic vindictive & trying to get revenge on everyone. Drew is jealousy of his brother jason or, trying to also get revenge on someone. Drew cain & Nina reeves are one of the same there both vindictive revenge spiteful people, its nauseating already to see them on screen. Enough is enough for the gh, rewrites please write them off kill them whatever you need to do.

Please get rid of the Drew/Willow debacle. It’s creepy and laughable at the same time.

Too bad. The entire GH population wants you GONE! Your character is soooo despicable that it makes it difficult to watch when your scenes are on. I used to be a Cameron Mattison fan, now can't stand to look at your face. Sorry you decided to play this character!

Everybody is sick and tired of Drew (and the simpletons who are writing his storyline.) To create a character so dispicable and trifling is not creativity...it's predictability. It's about as bad as the writing on Between the Gates....whoever is writing Drew's storyline is writing for the wrong soap. The should take their asinine writing skills to CBS.....because the fans of that soap enjoy "C-ing....BS"!!!

Drew needs to go. I cant stand to look at him anymore. I won't ever watch anything with him on it a gain. I liked him in the hallmark movies but now he's dead to me.

I am. Just waiting for him to go. We were born in the same day but different year but I still don’t like this character. You can’t keep waiting for him to be a good guy since he was on all my children. He is not good at being a bad guy sorry, Cameron.

He's a good actor who has been given a disgusting storyline. It doesn't help that he keeps getting away with everything
