She has now taken over his duties in Congress and has had complete control over him.
But now that the supplier of the drug, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is on the run, Willow only has a month’s supply of it left. When it runs out, Drew will be able to reveal the truth about his wife’s heinous deeds, including the shooting because she told him she was his assailant right before she paralyzed him.

General Hospital’s Katelyn MacMullen breaks down Willow’s predicament with Drew
In an interview with Soap Opera DigestMacMullen acknowledged that Willow is in a very dangerous situation now that Sidwell is gone. She explained, “She’s definitely going against the clock.”
The General Hospital the star continued, “There are so many factors working against her. But the biggest thing is that at this point, Sidwell is a fugitive. He’s provided her with that lameness, and now that she’s lost her source, she’s running out of it.”
Willow had a close call once before when Drew was almost able to call 911 when his drugs started wearing off. MacMullen said, “She knows that when he misses a dose he starts to regain his agility so she knows he’ll be able to move soon. The clock is ticking and she needs this evidence against Drew like yesterday!”

After Willow’s mother, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), accidentally injected Brennan with the same paralytic as Drew, he was admitted to Turning Woods, also in a locked state. But her conscience won’t allow her to continue drugging him, and to Willow’s shock, Brennan is slowly recovering. He has managed to convince Willow and Nina to permanently stop drugging him so he can get the evidence against Drew from a safe in his office at WSB headquarters.
MacMullen acknowledges that, however Willow may have doubts about Brennanand that she might suspect him of trying to deceive them. She stated, “I think those are her thoughts. I don’t know if she trusts a lot of people at this point or takes a lot of people at their word. But she wants to believe him because if he’s telling the truth, it would be the biggest relief in the world for her. That proof is exactly what she needs to get out of this situation.”
Katelyn MacMullen teases more twists from The General Hospital Writers
MacMullen knows Willow is backed into a corner and really has no choice but to trust Jack. She explained, “What choice does she have in Willow’s mind? She has to say yes to him, because if he’s honest and he does mind Drew in that safe, then this could finally be over.”
