Breaking News: Desperate Nina Attempts to Drown Drew in Shocking Attack!

General Hospital has Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) absolutely horrified this week when Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) reveals that he can speak because that means he can tell anyone and everyone what his wicked wife Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) did to him. So, Nina panics after Drew says to her, “What’s wrong, Nina? Bad news.”

And I suspect based on where Drew and Nina are when he startles her saying that, she might just try and drown him. We’re going to talk about what Nina does and whether Drew survives a drowning attempt.

General Hospital: Drew’s Recovery and Nina’s Desperate Plot

So, we know that Willow and Nina are out of the paralytic they’ve been using to keep Drew locked in, and they are terrified of what he’ll say and what he’ll do once he is mobile. The cops can’t prosecute Willow for shooting him, but they can for causing the stroke and keeping him a prisoner for all these months. And the DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) would love to do that. And Drew can name Nina as her co-conspirator. So, Willow and Nina could be spending mother-daughter bonding time sharing a cell in Pentonville if Drew gets his way.

So, that’s why Nina’s trying to help Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) find the black box. It holds evidence that they can use to blackmail Drew into keeping quiet. And we know Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) swiped the black box from Jack’s office and then he stashed it at Wyndemere and then Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) swiped it from his former home. But he thinks it was Cullum’s box. So, Nina and Jack are searching for it desperately, but they got a little distracted with intimate moments in his room at the Metro Court.

GH Spoilers: Jack Alerts Nina

And summer spoilers say that Jack has a breakthrough and tells Nina, but it may be too late. And another spoiler says Jack gets what he needs from a surprising source, presumably that’s Valentin. Another summer spoiler says that Drew makes a splash. And there’s one more that says Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) draw the wrong conclusion. And that’s when they learn of a scary incident involving Drew. So, combine all these spoilers with the weekly promo that has Nina with Drew next to the lake at the Quartermaine estate and it’s pretty clear exactly where General Hospital is going this week.

So, this Thursday, according to GH spoilers, Nina gets a wild idea and then Jack gives her bad news on Friday. And if you’re current on GH episodes, you should have seen recast Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski), now a teenager, asking Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) if she can swim in the big pond because Scout needs to practice swimming a mile for a charity event. And when Tracy asked her, “Isn’t that dangerous?” Scout reminded Tracy that her dad, Drew, taught her to swim and he’s a Navy Seal.

I don’t think that was an incidental mention because of what’s about to happen. Also, Scout asked Tracy, “Can Drew please come to the Q estate and watch her swim?” Even though he’s banned, Tracy agreed to all of it after some hesitation. So, it looks like by Thursday, Nina rolls Drew out to the dock at the Quartermaine estate.

And when she’s parking him, that’s when he speaks to Nina, perhaps after she gets a phone call from Jack saying he doesn’t have anything for her yet. And with Nina getting a wild idea on Thursday, maybe she’s already decided to just tip Drew into the pond.

GH Spoilers: Nina Stages an Accident

But Nina might have second thoughts until Drew speaks to her and then Nina knows, “Oh, whoops. Time is up.” And the spoiler about Drew making a big splash, I suspect, is him going into the pond. And I also suspect that Nina’s going to deliberately leave his wheelchair brake off and have him parked close to the edge.

That way it’ll look like an accident. And once Drew’s in the water, you know, Nina can jump in and act like she’s trying to save him, but he’s heavy and he’s strapped to a wheelchair. And as Scout pointed out, Drew is an excellent swimmer, but he’s strapped to a wheelchair.

Fun fact, in standing water like that versus the ocean, a Navy Seal like Scout’s dad can hold their breath for three to four minutes. They say that five minutes is a myth, but four minutes seems pretty solid for a Navy Seal. And I’m sure Nina set it up so it’d be a roll and a tip. So, if Drew gets a good breath as he’s going in, he could actually survive a while.

General Hospital: Blackmail, Consequences, and Survival

And if you remember when Nina and Willow were talking to Jack Brennan about their options, they were discussing how to handle Drew since they’re pretty much out of paralytic and Jack didn’t have his black box back. He told Nina and Willow that they could always just kill Drew. And Willow got angry and said, “I’m not a killer.” And Jack gave this big eye roll because he knows she put two bullets in Drew’s back. Willow nearly killed her husband before.

But once Nina realizes that time is really up, she’s going to do something drastic. I think she would rather personally risk prison so that she can keep Willow out of it. And I absolutely believe that Nina would kill for Willow. But if Drew just rolls off the dock, Nina might rationalize it as an unfortunate accident, not cold-blooded murder like shooting somebody.

GH Spoilers: Willow in Trouble with Liz

But we also have a spoiler for Friday about Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) challenging Willow. And I wonder if that’s about the two strokes at her house or at that point if Drew’s rescued and brought into the General Hospital ER in bad shape. That could be why Liz is grilling her. I mean, if Nina’s lucky, maybe Drew sucks in enough pond water to be unconscious for a couple of days to buy Brennan more time to search.

And I expect Valentin’s going to cut a deal with Jack and give him the black box. And with the Trina and Kai spoiler, I’m sure they’re going to hear about Drew’s pond accident and they may draw the wrong conclusion that Willow tried to kill him again. However, I think Nina does this when Willow is not even in Port Charles. She’s supposed to be taking a trip to DC this week. They made very specific mentions of all these various things that add up to this scenario.

General Hospital Spoilers: Willow in the Clear

If you remember, Willow asked Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) to go with her because the conference or whatever is about law enforcement, but he turned her down, which was smart. So, Willow might have an incredibly airtight alibi. And I know a lot of fans honestly would like to see Drew go down. If General Hospital killed him off, there would be lots of viewers cheering, but I don’t think there’s a snowball’s chance in heck that he’s going to die. I’m sure it’ll be scary, but I’m certain that Nina’s little murder plot isn’t going to pay off the way that she wants.

I know viewers also want Willow exposed for what she’s done, but I’m not certain that she will be. I do think in the end, Nina and Jack are going to get what they need to blackmail Drew into silence, at least in the short run. Long term, there’s no telling what he might do to Willow and Nina in revenge, even if he can’t out them and have them arrested. Plus, Nina and Jack just got intimate. Even if Nina said it was a one-time only deal, I expect that Jack’s going to keep helping Nina and she may even tell him that she tried to kill Drew and failed. I mean, heck, it was Jack’s idea to begin with, and we know he’s ruthless.

GH Spoilers: Drew Survives Nina’s Murder Attempt

And in the end, obviously, I think we all know Drew is not going to die. He will not drown in the pond. But I don’t think it’ll be for lack of effort on Nina’s part. I do suspect that Drew is rescued, but there may be some kind of trauma. Maybe he’s in a coma for a couple of days. Maybe they put him in a medically induced coma for some reason while he recovers from this near drowning.

That would give Nina and Jack the time they need to get the goods to save Willow’s bacon. We’ll see how it goes, but it looks like Drew is taking an unscheduled swim this week. Hopefully, Nina’s going to wait until Scout is halfway down the lake, you know, closer to that island where she’s going to turn around than a half a mile.

I was looking it up and a wheelchair of that size he’s in for a paralyzed person weighs at least 100 pounds, possibly more. And when you add Cameron Mathison’s muscular physique to that, that would be significant weight holding Drew underwater. But still, I think he’s going to survive. He’s like a cockroach.
