When Drew Cain sat down at the Port Charles Grill with a women fans had never seen before, the audience was as intrigued as Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud). Britt sat at the bar and listened in on the entire conversation, and viewers at home were every bit as captivated (via Soaps.com). Why would Drew have such a prominent scene about business with a brand-new character when he hasn’t been talking business as much of late?
Well, it was to give Vanessa Mathison, Cameron Mathison’s wife, a treat. The appearance was a gift for her 55th birthday, according to Soaps In Depth. Cameron took to Instagram to thank “General Hospital’s” executive producer for making his wife’s birthday so special.
“I have to say… Frank Valentini made the character of Drew a reality for me, and now he has made Vanessa’s dream come true as well,” he wrote next to a series of photos of himself and his wife on the “GH” set. “Vanessa has been a GH fan her whole life! When I met her I was Ryan on All My Children and she had no idea who I was… she only watched GH.”
