On General Hospital, Drew’s current condition has left Port Charles without a congressman. Since the city still needs representation, both Laura and Sidwell have specific people in mind to serve out the remainder of Drew’s term, though their choices differ significantly. So, who could step in to fill Drew’s seat in Congress?
Here are the details on the situation.
Who could be Drew’s replacement on General Hospital?
General Hospital introduced new drama surrounding who should take over Drew’s role in Congress. After Willow injected him with a lethal dose that led to his locked-in syndrome, Port Charles is now without one of its congressional representatives. Since Drew still had a year left in his term, someone needs to step in. But who will that be?
Earlier this week, Laura invited Alexis to her office and said the governor had tasked her with appointing a temporary replacement for Drew. As a result, she asked Alexis to assume the role at least until a new election is held. Alexis was pleased to be considered. However, she was unsure about taking on the responsibility given her past. Laura nonetheless encouraged her to at least consider it.
Meanwhile, Sidwell summoned Willow to Wyndemere, where he asked her to take over Drew’s role since she is his spouse. He reasoned that she is “uniquely qualified” because of her recent public exoneration, her past battle with cancer, and other factors that could present her as a sympathetic and resilient figure to the public.
Alexis then discussed the matter with Molly and Suzanne, while Willow sought Nina’s advice. At the end of their respective conversations, both women agreed to take on the role. The question remains: Since only one of them can fill the position, who will it be?
Because Laura is the mayor, Alexis may have a stronger chance of replacing Drew. However, given Sidwell’s influence, he may not accept that outcome. He appears to have leverage over Laura, knowing that she disposed of Dalton’s body. As a result, he could attempt to pressure Laura into appointing Willow instead of Alexis.
While this remains speculation, many viewers believe Alexis is a strong fit for the role. The show has a history of subverting expectations, so future episodes will determine who ultimately replaces Drew.
