The hints were there leading up to it but many General Hospital viewers were still stunned when Willow and Drew shared a passionate kiss on the Fourth of July! Since her and Michael’s marriage has been rock solid lately, fans just can’t understand why she would cheat on him!
“From my understanding, Willow loves Michael very much, and it’s not like anything necessarily has happened [in their relationship],” Katelyn MacMullen explained to Soap Opera Digest of her character’s uncharacteristic actions. “But I think that Willow and Drew have just developed this bond and this sort of new mutual understanding and admiration towards one another. They love the family that they’re in, but they’re sort of [later additions to it] and I think that sort of bonds them in a way, too; there’s a little bit of an ‘outsider’ thing going on that’s bonding them.”
Plus, as Willow often mentions, Drew saved her life when he went to Greenland to help stop Victor Cassadine and rescue her grandmother, Liesl Obrecht, who was then able to donate her bone marrow to help Willow fight leukemia.
