Did Willow Steal Edward’s Gun on General Hospital? Shocking Shooting Mystery Explained

Port Charles is buzzing with suspicion after a shocking twist involving Edward Quartermaine’s old gun. Fans now wonder if Willow Tait could be behind the dramatic shooting that left Drew Cain fighting for his life.

The mystery unfolded after it was revealed that Edward’s firearm — long hidden in the Quartermaine mansion — was used in the attack. Though Edward has been dead for years, the weapon’s sudden reappearance has left viewers stunned. The prime suspect? Willow, whose complicated past with Drew has taken a dark turn.

How Willow Became the Center of the Gun Mystery

Edward Quartermaine, once the powerful patriarch of the family, left behind many secrets. His old gun was stored inside the Q mansion, a place Willow knows well. She previously lived there and proved she can sneak around unnoticed. Longtime fans recall how she once tormented Sasha by moving Daisy the toy around, showing she’s capable of covert moves.

According to SoapHub reports, the shooter used Edward’s gun to target Drew. The initial theories pointed to Michael or Tracy — both logical suspects with motives. But fans argue these choices are too obvious for the soap’s trademark twists. Willow, on the other hand, has been quietly unraveling. Her relationship with Drew soured after she blamed him for losing custody of her children. Although she pretended to reconcile, some now believe she was waiting for the perfect chance to strike.

The theory suggests Willow could have slipped into the mansion, taken Edward’s gun, and planned the attack. If she framed Michael, it would destroy both men in one move: Drew would be gone, and Michael could face prison time. Viewers know the Q mansion’s lack of cameras makes it easy for anyone with insider knowledge to move around undetected.

What This Means for General Hospital’s Future

If Willow is exposed as the shooter, her fate could become one of the most shocking arcs on “General Hospital” in years. Legal experts in Port Charles — like Ric Lansing or Martin Grey — could argue she’s mentally unstable and use an insanity defense. That might lead to a stint in Shadybrook or Ferncliff, before a dramatic return later.

Soap fans know that when “General Hospital” builds a long mystery, the payoff is rarely simple. The storyline could fracture the Quartermaine family, set up courtroom drama, and pull in other characters like Carly and Nina. It would also give actress Katelyn MacMullen (Willow) a major spotlight moment.

Whether Willow really pulled the trigger or is being set up remains to be seen. But one thing is clear — the Edward’s gun mystery has reignited excitement and debate in Port Charles.
