General Hospital Spoilers: The Gun That Shot Drew Found at Elizabeth’s House — But Who Hid It There?
This week in General Hospital, Port Charles is thrown into yet another storm of mystery, suspicion, and emotional chaos when the PCPD uncovers a shocking piece of evidence in an unexpected place. The gun used to shoot Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) has been discovered — but not where anyone expected. Instead, it turns up inside the home of Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), the hospital’s head nurse and longtime resident of Port Charles.
This discovery sets off a chain reaction of questions, confusion, and finger-pointing — because while Elizabeth has an airtight alibi, several others around her do not. The question now burning through the corridors of General Hospital and the Quartermaine estate is simple: who stashed the gun in Liz’s house, and why?
The Search Warrant Mix-Up and the Shocking Discovery
The drama begins when Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Detective Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) arrive at the Quartermaine mansion armed with a search warrant, intent on finding the gun that nearly ended Drew Cain’s life. But as luck — or perhaps fate — would have it, there’s a mix-up in the paperwork. The PCPD team is forced to retreat after realizing they have the wrong address on the warrant.
By the time the correct documentation is secured and they return to the mansion, the gun is gone. The delay gives someone ample time to remove the weapon, setting the stage for the next bombshell. Shortly after, Anna and her team head to Elizabeth Webber’s house with a new warrant in hand.
There, amid Elizabeth’s confusion, Anna returns holding an evidence bag containing the missing gun. The sight leaves Elizabeth speechless. Moments later, Anna calmly informs her she’ll need to come down to the station for questioning.
Elizabeth’s Ironclad Alibi and Willow’s Odd Behavior
Despite the gun being found in her home, Elizabeth’s innocence seems clear to anyone who knows her. On the night Drew was shot, she was on duty at General Hospital — surrounded by coworkers who can vouch for her presence.
What’s more intriguing, though, is what she noticed during that same shift. Elizabeth reportedly observed that Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) had disappeared from her post for an extended period that night. When confronted, Willow claimed she simply “went for a walk in the rain.”
That explanation doesn’t sit right with anyone. The strange part? Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) later claimed she was walking with Willow during that same downpour — a statement that’s bizarre given their well-documented estrangement. Could Willow be hiding something more serious than a midnight stroll?
At this point, Willow becomes one of the most suspicious figures in this unraveling mystery.
Could Michael Corinthos Be the Mastermind?
Once the gun’s discovery becomes public, speculation spreads like wildfire. Anna begins to suspect that someone intentionally planted the weapon at Liz’s house — perhaps to protect the real shooter or redirect the investigation.
One theory gaining traction involves Michael Corinthos (Robert Adamson/Rory Gibson). Could he have retrieved the weapon after the police’s failed first search of the Quartermaine mansion and hidden it at Elizabeth’s?
Michael has had multiple tense exchanges with both Drew and Willow in recent weeks. His supposed efforts to mend fences with Willow — including telling her he wants her to spend more time with their children — seem oddly timed. Could this “kindness” be a front to cover his true agenda: framing Willow for the shooting and ensuring she loses access to the kids for good?
If Michael feared Drew’s influence or suspected Willow of betrayal, he might see this setup as the perfect way to protect his family — at least in his mind.
Carly’s Visit Raises Red Flags
But Michael isn’t the only Corinthos family member under scrutiny. His mother, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), also paid a curious visit to Elizabeth’s home right before the gun was found.
Carly and Elizabeth have never exactly been friends — in fact, their shared history is filled with tension and mutual resentment. Carly claimed she came by to “clear the air” and ask if Elizabeth had mentioned Carly’s recent threat against Drew to the police.
However, fans noticed a key detail: Elizabeth stepped upstairs to handle a plumbing issue, leaving Carly alone in the house. That brief window might have been all Carly needed to hide the weapon — whether to protect Michael, herself, or someone else entirely.
Given Carly’s fierce loyalty to her family and her track record of bending the law when backed into a corner, it’s not impossible to imagine she used the opportunity to stash the incriminating evidence where no one would think to look.
Willow’s Role — Victim or Perpetrator?
Even as suspicion swirls around Carly and Michael, many viewers can’t shake the feeling that Willow might be more involved than anyone wants to believe.
If Willow was the shooter, her erratic behavior suddenly makes sense. Perhaps after the attack, she panicked and hid the gun in her purse. Since she’s been staying with Elizabeth, she could have tucked it away in a drawer or closet, assuming it would never be discovered in a nurse’s home.
Why would Willow shoot Drew? Some speculate it could stem from buried resentment — or from a confrontation gone horribly wrong. If Drew had uncovered a secret involving Michael, Nina, or even Willow’s past, she might have lashed out in a moment of fear and regret.
Could Scout Cain Be the Shocking Twist?
Then there’s the most heartbreaking possibility of all — Drew’s daughter, Scout Cain (Colette Abante).
Fans have theorized that Scout might be behind the shooting, especially since she’s been struggling emotionally since losing her mother, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco). Drew, who’s been increasingly strict and distant, may have unknowingly pushed his daughter past her breaking point.
If Scout was staying with Elizabeth at the time, it’s plausible the gun was hidden in her room — meaning Liz’s connection to the weapon is purely circumstantial. This would be an explosive twist that turns the story into a deeply emotional family tragedy rather than a cold-blooded crime.
Sonny Corinthos and the Sidwell Factor
And let’s not forget Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) — or rather, the dangerous associate who’s been operating in the shadows, Jen Sidwell (Carlo Rota).
Sidwell reportedly wanted Drew eliminated because he’d become a liability — but he also needed a convenient scapegoat. Framing Willow or even Liz would achieve that goal perfectly, keeping attention far from Sonny’s organization and its increasingly fragile alliances.
Sidwell’s ruthless efficiency makes him capable of planting the gun anywhere necessary to steer the investigation away from his true operations.
Where Does Jason Fit Into All This?
Anna briefly mentioned Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) during her investigation, noting his uncanny ability to “make evidence disappear.” But Jason’s name here seems more a reflection of his reputation than his involvement.
He’s currently in Croatia, far from Port Charles, and there’s no direct connection linking him to the gun or Drew’s shooting. That said, Jason has deep ties to both Michael and Carly — and if either had reached out to him for help in disposing of the weapon, he likely would’ve ensured it vanished completely.
The fact that the gun wasn’t destroyed suggests someone less experienced in cover-ups is responsible.
What Happens Next?
With the gun now logged as evidence, an arrest seems imminent — but longtime GH fans know the PCPD’s track record isn’t exactly flawless. The wrong person being hauled away in handcuffs is practically a Port Charles tradition.
So, who will it be this time? Will Anna Devane make a gut call that lands an innocent woman in a cell? Will Willow’s strange behavior finally catch up with her? Or will a shocking confession from Michael, Carly, or even Scout flip the entire investigation upside down?
One thing is certain — the discovery of that gun has just lit a fuse under Port Charles, and the explosion that follows is going to change everything for Drew, Elizabeth, and the Corinthos family.
Final Thought:
Elizabeth Webber may be innocent, but she’s now caught in the crossfire of someone else’s deadly game. With secrets, lies, and family loyalties twisting every clue, the truth behind Drew Cain’s shooting may not just expose a shooter — it may destroy the fragile web connecting the town’s most powerful families.
Stay tuned to General Hospital — because in Port Charles, even the truth can be weaponized.
