On the Tuesday, April 29th episode of General Hospital, did anyone have flashbacks to the classic “Libidozone” storyline on All My Children? That story also featured Cameron Mathison as Ryan Lavery who drinks too much of a spiked punch on his yacht and acts completely out of character.
Now on GH, Mathison as dirty and smarmy congressman Drew Cain, is about to be taken down several notches as Nina (Nina Reeves) and Portia (Brooke Kerr) initiate their plan to have the guy who has been threatening their lives in different ways. Portia gets the Ketamine to Nina. Next, Nina gives the vial over to the sex worker, Jacinda (Paige Herschell) to somehow get Drew in a comprising position with it.
After learning the Drew is at the Port Charles Grill with Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), she heads to the bar, and puts the vial of Ketamine into the drink Drew ordered. When Tracy leaves after their conversation about taking down Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Jacinda approached Drew’s table. He says that “drink was strong.” Jacinda says she would like to get to know Drew better and suggests they get out of the grill and go to somewhere less stuffy and more fun.
Next, Drew and Jacinda end up at The Savoy, where everyone is at for a night out on the town. Perhaps, the most entertaining part of the episode was the hilarious reaction shots of the cast as their characters are stunned as to what they are seeing going down with Drew’s public display.
Over at the bar, a drugged and drunk Drew calls out for shots. Jordan (Tanisha Harper), who is standing with Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Portia, says she has to stop this since she works for Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and he would be very disapproving of what is happening to Drew, so she tries to pry Drew away from Jacinda. However, that fails.
Now, Drew has loosened his shirt and tie as he hikes Jacinda up to the bar to drink body shots off of her while everyone looks on in distaste including: Lucas (Van Hansis) and Marco (Adrian Anchondo) who headed to The Savoy for some dancing. Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is also at the club spying and trying to get in the good graces of Professor Hank Dalton (Daniel Goddard), and Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Cody (Josh Kelly) are sitting at a table talking.
When the commotion begins Lulu, who now has a job as a reporter, takes out her iPhone and begins to film Drew licking shots off of Jacinda on top of the bar. Portia and Curtis look on hoping this moment will go viral and get Drew out of everyone’s hair. If you recall, Nina is expecting Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) to be back tomorrow from Germany, but something tells us from this week’s promo, she will walk in on this and see exactly how Drew is acting … or will she?
So, what do you think the upshot of Nina and Portia’s plan to incriminate Drew will ultimately be? Will it produce the results they had hoped for or still backfire somehow when he accuses someone of drugging him intentionally and perhaps takes them to court?
