In recent developments on General Hospital, the investigation into the fire at Sonny Corinthos’ penthouse has taken a critical turn. Initially believed to be another targeted attack against Sonny—who has no shortage of enemies—the incident is now being viewed through a more complex lens, thanks to emerging evidence and the keen insights of Brick.

Drew Cain, once regarded as compassionate and selfless, appears to have undergone a significant personality shift following his stint in prison. The experience seemingly altered his moral compass, replacing his once-genuine intentions with manipulative and controlling behavior.

Central to this transformation is Drew’s intensifying fixation on Willow. After playing a crucial role in saving her life during her cancer battle, Drew developed a profound emotional attachment. His gratitude gradually morphed into obsession, especially as he began to see Michael Corinthos as a direct competitor for Willow’s affection. This rivalry cast a shadow over Drew’s motivations, fueling a pattern of increasingly calculated and aggressive behavior.

As Brick meticulously worked through the list of potential suspects, eliminating names such as Jack, Brennan, and Sidwell, the evidence began to point in a surprising direction. Clues suggest the fire may have served as a strategic smokescreen—a ploy engineered by Drew to undermine Michael and potentially destabilize Sonny’s power structure.
