General Hospital Daily YAPP Recap, February 19: Why mute Drew is the best Drew

Welcome to the General Hospital Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:

What Happened on General Hospital

There's something to be said for smarmy politicians who could never shut up, finally losing their ability to speak. While we wish for that in real life every day, we'll take it from our soap opera politician. For the last year, we were forced to listen to Drew Cain rule Willow's life and tell her what was best for her, while blackmailing and threatening anyone who would listen to him. He just walked around (and then hobbled on a cane), saying anything he felt like saying. He even insisted on taking the stand in Willow's defense, where he just went on and on like a complete unhinged maniac whom Alexis couldn't shut up. And Willow grew as weary of it as we did, so she took matters into her own hands and silenced the man, telling him how irritating it was when he would always talk over her. Now, Drew can't say a word as Willow has all the control. She is the one who won't stop talking when she is in his presence, but we're sure Drew wants her to. All he can do is lie there and blink, which is just delightful after having to listen to him for the last year. We know Drew will get out of that bed one day and live to speak again, but for now, we (and Willow) are going to enjoy this while we can.
