Heartbreaking real-life events have tragically mirrored the fictional world of General Hospital. As viewers witnessed a dramatic fire storyline involving

In an unfortunate twist, while Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) wished for Drew’s downfall on-screen, Mathison lost his actual home to wildfires in California.

Mathison took to Instagram to share the difficult news, posting a somber video showing the ruins of his beloved home. He reassured worried fans, saying, “We are safe,” while showing the charred remains of what was once a vibrant family sanctuary.
