Drew’s life takes a major hit on the December 19 episode of General Hospital when he loses his position at Aurora Media. After his unsuccessful attempt to secretly overtake
Curtis as CEO, Drew finds himself blindsided by a well-laid scheme from his former best friend and his son Michael. Expecting to return to work and continue running the company,
Drew is met with a shocking surprise. Curtis, in a move that leaves Drew feeling betrayed and humiliated, takes control of the company by crashing the stock and buying it out. The result?
Drew is swiftly removed from his position, and Curtis firmly asserts his newfound authority. Curtis’ final gesture—sliding Drew’s nameplate off the office door and offering it to him—marks the bitter end of Drew’s reign at Aurora.

While Drew still retains some money from his minority shareholding, it’s clear that he has lost far more than his job. The once-heroic figure of Port Charles now finds himself a laughingstock. His personal life is just as messy as his professional downfall. In a stunning series of decisions, Drew not only had an affair with Nina but also betrayed his family by sleeping with his nephew’s wife, creating a scandal that further tarnishes his reputation.
As far as many are concerned, Drew’s fall from grace is well deserved. Having once been seen as a hero, he has now become one of Port Charles’ most reviled characters. Fans are left wondering if there’s any hope for his redemption.
For Drew to begin mending the wreckage he’s caused, he needs to take a hard look at his actions. He must apologize for his role in the fallout with Willow, Nina, and Michael—and not just in words, but through actions that demonstrate genuine remorse. He should remove himself from the lives of his former family and avoid making further impulsive decisions that will only make things worse. Some fans suggest that taking a break, perhaps retreating to D.C. to regroup, might be the best option for Drew to clear his head.
However, Drew’s stubborn, confrontational nature makes him unlikely to handle things quietly. He’s always been brash and impulsive, and these qualities may continue to lead him astray. His inability to step back and reflect on his mistakes could keep him spiraling deeper into trouble, rather than allowing him the chance to rebuild his life.
