So, I am not spoiling anything when I say someone bust a cap in DrewrCOs ass

Is he finished, or will he survive?

The primary suspect is Willow. She abruptly left her job when she heard
the judge was killed. She has been acting irrationally. It is possible
she may have thought Drew killed the judge and killed him in anger.

I donrCOt like that theory. In fact, almost all the cast members are
unlikely to have gone to those lengths. They hate him, but not enough to
take explicit action.

It is as likely that GH writers will give us endless red herring subplots,
just like they did with the hook killer. The actual killer may be some business rival, someone who suffered as a result of one of AurorarCOs escapades, someone who lost a lot of stock, or some convict seeking
revenge from the time Drew was incarcerated.

O hey wait. I think I remember what Stella did for a patient. WasnrCOt there
a brief story line where someone lost money on the stock transaction. When
the Aurora ELQ deal fell thru, someone had a relative who needed medical
care. But their savings got wiped out when the deal fell thru. DidnrCOt Stella help that guy find a charitable program to pay the costs? Is this a false memory?

Anyway, back to the present.

Trina and Kai were there.

It seems highly likely Trina will snatch PortiarCOs incriminating lab
evidence and split.

Which may leave Kai as the person of interest in the shooting. Poor Kai.

I think the culprit is whoever Ryan Peavey portrays.

I haven't seen any of this week's eps, so can't comment other than to
say what a surprise (not).

Is he finished, or will he survive?

Is the actor leaving the show? If not, then he'll survive. If the actor
is leaving, but only temporarily, then Drew might either end up in a
coma and be shipped off to Mass General (like Maxie), or he'll fake die
and be resurrected at a later date (like Britt).

He keeps doing content for one of those family movie channels. He has been doing so for more than year , and has not really been absent. I havenrCOt
heard he has parted ways with ABC

Much was made of the shadow on social media. The gunman appears to be
female, if only the hairstyle is considered. The hairstyle is most similar tonWillowrCOs. Of course, it could be.

Alternatively. Collette? Liz? Some scenes rule them out, timewise.

Someone wearing a wig?

Ok, Scout, accidental shooting?

I won't have a chance to see this week's eps until the weekend and can't
yet comment on the above, but I can make a joking speculation...maybe
it's Charlotte, ha ha ha. She's weird, and a Cassadine (which makes her
doubly weird), and expendable because she's onscreen rarely to never and wouldn't be missed if she were to be packed off to an asylum for
criminally insane juveniles. But I'm joking. Sort of...sort of, because
they probably haven't yet decided on a culprit, and can make the shooter
turn out to be anyone.

There is no way they have decided on a culprit yet.

Charlotte was actually a popular guess on social media. The only motive I
can see is if Jake and Danny were complaining about Drew forbidding contact with Scout, perhaps she took matters into her own hands.

An interesting related tidbit. The soap fanzines report that in addition
to Peavey being resurrected by Faison tech, valentin is scheduled to return this fall. So, yeah, who knows. Charlotte is crazy enough to set AnnarCOs house on fire, and she was ready to murder Anna based on sketchy data
provided by Victor. Why not kill Drew?

Agree.

It is as likely that GH writers will give us endless red herring subplots, just like they did with the hook killer. The actual killer may be some business rival, someone who suffered as a result of one of AuroraAs escapades, someone who lost a lot of stock, or some convict seeking
revenge from the time Drew was incarcerated.

They want us to suspect Curtis and Alexis, Nina and Portia, Michael and
Carly. All were seen before the shooting either looking as if they
wanted to murder Drew or making remarks that could be interpreted as an
intent to murder Drew. And all were shown to have left the scenes where
they had pulled murderous faces and made cryptic remarks immediately
before the shooting, implying that they just might be anywhere at all, including inside Drew's house.

I think you're right that they'll string this out as long as possible
and milk it for all it's worth, just as they did with the hook thing.
But unlike the hook thing, it could be that instead of someone known to
us, the culprit will turn out to be just a no one, a plot device--an
angry constituent, or as you say, an angry Aurora investor, etc--whose
only purpose was to put Drew in the hospital where the reason for his personality transformation could be discovered and cured or reversed.
And maybe that will involve something as simple as pulling off a latex
Drew mask and finding the undead Faison Jr underneath. Or something
equally idiotic.

Just an aside, the shooter didn't seem to be at all squeamish about
shooting someone at point blank range, which might indicate a
professional hit, except for the fact that they didn't shoot him in the
head, execution style. And the gun was an old revolver, which is not
usually a professional killer's weapon of choice. For what all that is worth....

I couldn't tell anything from the shadow (or from the tip of the shoe
that was visible for a few seconds). Don't know about a hairstyle,
either. The person could have been wearing a hoodie.

Not Colette or Liz. Liz isn't a murderer. Colette is a murderer and a
psycho, but unless they come up with something out of the blue, she
would have no motive.

Definitely no. Scout is a child. And that shooting was no accident.

Oh...damn and blast. I am really (really!) sick of Cassadines, and was
actually starting to hope we might finally be rid of the worst of them.

So, yeah, who knows. Charlotte is crazy enough to set AnnaAs
house on fire, and she was ready to murder Anna based on sketchy data provided by Victor. Why not kill Drew?

I guess she makes as much sense as anyone else. If Val is really
supposed to come back (boo!), hopefully it will be only long enough to
collect his weird little would-be assassin daughter and spirit her off
to the land of the vamps in eastern Europe.

They missed at close range. Twice. Should not be attributed to a pro but
the crazy writers, who knows?

Colette imho, is out. She was busy arguing with Five Poppies guy and
Brennan, and busy trying to get in the safe.

Liz seems to have been at her job at all times relevant.

It's always down to the writers, innit. Drew was shot in the back rather
than in the head because a shot to the head at that close of a range
would have killed him instantly and that's not what they intended to
happen. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too--all the drama of
a point blank shooting *and* a touch and go surgery. And when they
finally get around to deciding whodunit, they can still make the shooter
a professional killer if that pleases them.
