Drew Cain

**Chief Andrew "Drew" Cain** is a fictional character on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital.

He was portrayed by Emmy award-winning actor Billy Miller from October 1, 2014 to August 21, 2019; although the character was originally conceived as recast of Jason Morgan from 2014 to 2017 before being replaced by Dan Buran as Linc Brown and Jeff Kober as Cyrus Renault in 2020; Cyrus Hobbi as Yuri Tamashevich, an unknown actor as Jerome Grisham, and Avery Kristen Pohl as Esme Prince in 2021 respectively.

Before Miller joined the series, a stand-in actor played Jason from August 12, 2014 until September 25, 2014.

In 2019, Steve Burton portrayed Andrew Cain in flashbacks from July 19 to July 22 and again on August 19. Burton also appeared as Drew in various old photos since Drew and Jason used to look alike.

In 2021; the role was recast with former *All My Children* alum Cameron Mathison, whose voice was first heard as Drew on August 16, 2021. Mathison made his first appearance as Drew on August 17, 2021. Before his introduction, Mathison revealed that he's on contract.

Billy Miller who formerly played Drew sadly passed away on September 15, 2023. Cameron Mathison is still currently portraying Drew to this day.

## Casting

* Mathison

In early 2014, after it was revealed that Jason Morgan was alive, rumors began to surface that *GH* was looking to recast the role since Steve Burton (who portrayed Jason on and off from 1991-2012) was staying at *The Young and the Restless* as Dylan McAvoy being replaced by William deVry as Julian Jerome.

On June 12, 2014; rumors of Billy Miller's casting on "GH" started to surface when *TV Guide's* Michael Logan tweeted about the possibility. Miller is a three-time Daytime Emmy award winning actor.

In 2010 and 2013; Miller brought home two Daytime Emmy's for *Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series* and one in 2014 for *Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series*, all for his work on *The Young and the Restless* as Billy Abbott.

On September 2, 2014; after months of speculation, executive producer Frank Valentini confirmed on Twitter that three-time Daytime Emmy award-winning actor Billy Miller, formerly known for his roles on *All My Children* as Richie Novak (2007-08) and *The Young and the Restless* as Billy Abbott (2008-14), would join the cast as Jason.

Although Jason had been back on canvas since August 12, 2014; Miller didn't make his first appearance until October 1, 2014.

In 2017, after news broke about Steve Burton's return to *GH*, Miller's status came into question since it was unclear if Burton was returning as Jason or a new character.

On July 12, 2017; a *GH* source stated on Twitter that "Miller is currently in contract negotiations while Burton (the former Jason) is signing a long term deal. No word who will play "Real Jason" yet."

On July 28, 2017; according to *Soaps in Depth*, Miller has re-signed with GH. Miller also signs his contract year to year.

Due to his contract negotiations, Miller was off screen for about three weeks (Aug 31-Sep 21, 2017) while his character was in a coma (a contract coma).

On December 1, 2017; it was revealed that Miller's character was actually Jason's twin, Andrew Cain and Burton was Jason.

On May 22, 2019, Soaps.com announced that Miller (along with Tamara Braun) would temporarily be offscreen for storyline reasons when their characters head to Mt. Kilimanjaro during the week of May 27. They were last seen on May 28, 2019. They both made appearances on June 4 and June 12, 2019 before they returned on June 17, 2019.

On June 15, 2019, rumors began swirling around that Miller may soon be leaving the show, although nothing has been confirmed yet.

On July 28, 2019; Miller's manager Marnie Sparer confirmed that he has filmed his final scenes and would in fact be exiting *GH*. Miller made his last appearance as Drew on August 21, 2019 before being replaced by Dan Buran as Linc Brown and Jeff Kober as Cyrus Renault in 2020; Cyrus Hobbi as Yuri Tamashevich, an unknown actor as Jerome Grisham, and Avery Kristen Pohl as Esme Prince in 2021 respectively.

On April 5, 2021; various sources broke the news that actor Cameron Mathison, known for his role of Ryan Lavery on *All My Children* will join the cast of *General Hospital* in a mysterious role.

On April 16, 2021; it was revealed that Mathison will officially join *GH* this summer, although it's unknown who he will be playing. He has reportedly said in an interview that he is not playing Ryan Lavery.

On June 19, 2021; rumors began to surface that Mathison might be a recast of Drew when he joins *GH* in July, although nothing has been confirmed yet.

On June 21, 2021; a leaked GH script was theorized in *General Hospital Tea* to be about Drew Cain.

On July 2, 2021; Mathison revealed on Instagram that he's officially in the General Hospital studio filming scenes. In the picture, Mathison was sporting a beard and looked a little beat up which could be another hint that he's taking over the role of Drew.

On July 6, 2021; *General Hospital Tea* reported a leak which revealed that Mathison's first scene will be in a foreign prison.

On August 8, 2021; it was confirmed by *Daytime Confidential* and *Entertainment Weekly* that Mathison will indeed be playing a recast Drew. In the EW interview, Mathison said he texted Valentini saying he would like to work for GH, and Valentini eventually agreed. Mathison's voice was first heard as Drew when he called Sam on August 16, 2021.

Mathison made his first appearance as Drew on August 17, 2021.

On May 11, 2022; it was announced that Mathison will be going on hiatus as Drew while he films the movie "The Christmas Farm". However, Mathison's appearances as Drew on *GH* weren't affected.

On June 20, 2023; it was revealed that Mathison will temporarily exit *GH* but will return at a later date. He made his last appearance for the time being on August 1, 2023. He returned on August 21, 2023.

He made his last appearance for the time being on December 4, 2023 before being replaced by Jeff Kober as Cyrus Renault, Charles Mesure as John Brennan, and Cyrus Hobbi as Yuri once more before returning on December 29.
## Storylines

* 2020-21
* 2022-23

On November 24, Drew finally returned to Port Charles and went to Sam's apartment after getting cleaned up and shaved three weeks after Sonny visited Cyrus Renault at Flatland Federal Prison and two weeks after Linc Brown returned to Port Charles over a year later. When he knocked on Sam's door, Sam answered it and was surprised to see him before he deported Yuri Tamashevich for identity theft and illegal adoption with the help of ICE after Cyrus Renault was sent to prison for his crimes against the citizens of Port Charles. Drew now replaces Cyrus Renault after being visited by Laura Collins in Flatland Federal Prison revealing that Drew is much friendlier than Cyrus. One month later; Shawn became a publisher of *The Invader* who wants to change the reputation of the publication after Yuri's deportation by ICE since Yuri was a fan of *The Invader*.

On June 29, it is revealed that he will be meeting Cyrus Renault at Pentonville Penitentiary as his new cellmate after it was revealed that Paul Hornsby changed cellmates as Paul is now cellmates with Johnny Zacchara.

On July 3, Drew meets Cyrus Renault for the first time in person at Pentonville giving the fact that Drew had been missing in action and was replaced by music producer Linc Brown and foreign national Yuri Tamashevich.

While Drew is in prison, Yuri came back to Port Charles after he struck a deal with ICE and SEC to give Yuri a second chance as Yuri instantly became friends with Judge Kim.

On October 10 after Cyrus was released from prison, Drew becomes Johnny Zacchara's cellmate as Drew is currently in prison in Cyrus' place.

After Drew was given a six month probation; he was also told that he can't deport Yuri as he's been given immunity thanks to Yuri striking a deal with ICE, SEC, and Yuri's friend Judge Kim. He was also told that he can not engage on Cyrus Renault.
