GH viewers are also looking forward to another new cast member

All My Children vet Cameron Mathison is also slated to be a new cast member on General Hospital. Unfortunately, the details of the role Cameron is stepping into has also been kept under wraps. That being said, fans have a pretty strong suspicion Cameron Mathison will be stepping into the recast role of Drew.

Now, Cameron Mathison stepping into the role of Drew is nothing more than rumor and fan theories at this point in time. But, it was a General Hospital script leak that revealed some of the details of what happened to Drew. Viewers of General Hospital agree the timing of the script leak and Cameron Mathison joining the cast is just too much of a coincidence for him not to be stepping into the role.

Where will Charles Shaughnessy fit into the cast?

Unfortunately, we really don’t know what plans the writers have for adding Charles Shaughnessy to the GH cast. As those who are familiar with the actor know, he has stepped onto the set of General Hospital once before. Back in 1984, he played the role of Holly Sutton’s con-artist cousin named Alistair Durban. While it is a bit of a stretch, it is possible he’s coming back to reprise that role. Chances, however, are much more likely that he’s stepping into something new.
