How General Hospital's Willow is channeling her Aunt Liesl

General Hospital's Willow Tait has the ultimate revenge plot all planned out. She has Drew Cain at her mercy, paralyzed and in a hospital-grade bed in their bedroom. He is at her mercy, as she plans to mentally torture him a la the classic flick, Misery. But Willow's little game also reminds us of a GH plot from nearly a decade ago when Liesl Obrecht took charge.

General Hospital's Peter never knew what hit him

Who can forget when Liesl (Kathleen Gati) learned that Peter August (Wes Ramsey) was really Henrik Faison and decided he was responsible for her son, Nathan's (Ryan Paevey), death. (Isn't it convenient that "Nathan" is now alive?) To make Peter pay for hiding his identity, which led to Faison shooting the wrong son, she kidnapped him and tied him to a bed in the woods for the entire summer of 2018.

During that time, Peter grew a Grizzly Adams beard, never got a shower, constantly begged to be set free, and was forced to watch Liesl relish eating delectable food in front of him when he just got scraps. Eventually, Nina (then played by Michelle Stafford) learned what her aunt was up to and got in on the act, which brings us to Willow (Katelyn MacMullen)...

Willow might not be able to keep her innocent facade up with her mother and aunt. For months, Liesl has been telling Nina (now played by Cynthia Watros) that Willow isn't playing with a full deck, so both women might suspect there is more going on in Drew's Dawn of Day house than meets the eye.

Neither woman has any love lost for Drew (Cameron Mathison) and couldn't care less what happens to him. Perhaps when they discover Willow torturing Drew, Misery-style, Aunt Liesl and Mama Nina will be so proud of their little protege and decide to help her.

How glorious would it be to see three women torture and taunt Drew every day for months as he lies there unable to do a thing about it? Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), Ava (Maura West), and Kristina (Kate Mansi) got to do this with Ric (Rick Hearst) last summer, so why not let Willow, Nina, and Liesl have the same fun with Drew? We all know Drew deserves the torture treatment infinitely more than Ric did.

Willow is going to need help giving Drew his meds to keep him in check, so Nina and Liesl will come in handy. Make it happen, GH, and we will be forever grateful.
