Andrew Cain

Andrew Cain, most commonly referred to as Drew, is the twin brother of Jason Morgan and long lost son of Alan Quartermaine and Susan Moore. For three years he believed he was actually Jason due to his memories being tampered with on the orders of Helena Cassadine. While Drew is finally living as himself, he has very little memories of his life before 2014, and his fake memories of Jason's life are slowly fading. In spite of this, he is determined to live his own life and focus on the future. 
== Life as Jason ==
When he was initially thought and revealed to be Jason Morgan in November of 2015, it took a few months before Drew began a slow relationship with Sam McCall. During the months trying to find their way back to each other, Sam and "Jason" began to realize that it was much harder than they hoped it would be. Their connection felt off, and this was only further complicated when Sam found out she was pregnant with her ex-fiancé Patrick Drake's child. The two initially thought they could still make their relationship work, but after several months of trial and error, they felt that they had no other choice but to accept the truth. There was an insurmountable wall between them whether they wanted it to be there or not, and no matter how hard their tried, they just couldn't bring it down. Add in the fact that Sam was pregnant with another man's baby, and the two of them took a step back to amicably broke things off in 
Drew learned the truth about himself on December 1st, 2017. With the return of the real Jason Morgan, it was quickly discovered that was actually Andrew Cain, Jason's twin brother that had been hidden away by Heather Webber and Susan Moore. After a few months of questions and denial, Drew accepted the truth and set out to live his own life despite still having many of Jason's memories. During his subsequent search, Drew was able to learn a few about himself through second hand accounts and research with the Navy, but other than that, he has very few memories of his past. 
While it was initially frustrating, Drew made the decision to accept the large gaps in his memory after over a year of hoping to remember. He is focused on making new memories rather than living in the past. 
== Painful New Beginnings ==
In November of 2017, it was Dr. Kim Nero recognized Drew as Chief Andrew Cain, a former lover of hers who was in the Navy. While he remained unable to remember her, she was willing to tell him more about his past. Kim was initially uncertain about telling Drew that her son Oscar was his son as well, but the truth came out in December 2017. The relationship between father and son was slow at first, but the two started to spend time together and found it easier than they expected to bond. 
In October 2018, Drew started up Aurora Media, a subsidiary of ELQ, and the business housed in the ELQ headquarters. Aurora Media is responsible for publishing The Port Charles Press, the fashion magazine Crimson, and other smaller journals. 
With a life of his own on track, Drew was focused on his company, and spending more time with his family, especially his son. Oscar and Drew were in the midst of making up for years of lost time when it was revealed in September 2018 that Oscar was dying from an inoperable brain tumor, a fact that Kim knew, but kept to herself for two years as she searched for a miracle operation. 
Oscar's conditioned quickly worsened over the next few months. Drew spent every moment by his son's bedside, wanting to have as much time with him as he could. Oscar eventually succumbed to the disease in April 2019. Drew continues to mourn Oscar's death every day, feeling like he was just barely beginning to get to know his son and building a life with him in it. 
Wracked with grief, Drew threw himself into his work at Aurora. Later that year in August, Drew's former fiancée Elizabeth Webber, who also understood what it was like to lose a child, made a point of spending time with him in hopes that he wouldn't let his pain overwhelm him. This lead to them renewing their friendship after several years of keeping distance, as he even agreed to join Elizabeth and her boys for dinner. After their talk, Drew promised her that he would not let the grief take over his life. 
About a week later, Drew makes good on their plans and arrives at Elizabeth's home to join her and her sons for dinner. They have a great time, enjoying a home cooked meal by Elizabeth, and a cake baked by Aiden. They make it as clear as possible to the three boys that this dinner is between friends, but Drew still spontaneously invites the four of them over for a future dinner at the Quartermaines. They agree on that for sometime in the future, and happily say goodnight. 
== Personality ==
Drew has had many names since arriving to Port Charles as a result of the mental conditioning he underwent at the request of Helena Cassadine, but beneath it all, he has always been fundamentally the same man. Deeply caring and protective, Drew would do anything to help the people he loves. He is often the voice of reason when not putting his own life on the line for others, which makes him a popular candidate for his friends and family when they need someone to talk to. Almost a perfect foil to his twin brother, Drew is known for being more openly kind, playful, and emotionally present. 
== Important Relationships ==
* Oscar Nero: His son. Drew only found out about Oscar being his son when he was already a teenager, but they quickly agreed to try and get to know one another. Tragically, Oscar was passed away before they could make up for lost time. The death of his son has weighed heavily on his life. 
* Elizabeth Webber: His ex-fiancée, Drew still thinks of Elizabeth as the first person who believed in him and liked him for who he was, despite the lies that eventually tore apart their relationship. While they have kept their distance since ending things in 2015, Drew isn't opposed to spending more time with her again.
