General Hospital Teasers: Did Kristina Corinthos Pull the Trigger on Drew Cain?
According to recent General Hospital updates and teasers, Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) has always had a taste for vendettas. Much like Jenz Sidwell–style schemers before her, Kristina approaches revenge with the same intensity she brings to everyday life. That personality trait is exactly why fans have flooded social media following Friday’s shocking cliffhanger—when Kristina was suddenly called to testify in Willow Tait’s (Caitlin McMullen) trial over the shooting of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).
While the moment felt like it came out of nowhere, soap operas rarely waste screen time on meaningless twists. The surprise testimony has sparked a growing theory among viewers: Kristina may be far more involved in Drew’s shooting than anyone suspects. In fact, there are three compelling reasons to believe Kristina herself may have pulled the trigger.
1. Kristina Knows How to Use a Gun
During her testimony, Kristina revealed that she had received firearms training while at Dawn of Day. Although this detail had never been emphasized in previous storylines, it immediately raised eyebrows. Willow, who was raised in the same cult, also learned survival skills there—making the assistant district attorney’s line of questioning feel very deliberate.
In General Hospital, details like this are rarely introduced without purpose. By establishing that Kristina knows how to handle a firearm, the show quietly confirmed something crucial: she is fully capable of shooting Drew.
2. She Had a Powerful Motive
Kristina’s volatile temperament and long history of impulsive decisions give her plenty of motive. She has never trusted Willow and has openly despised Drew’s role in the ongoing custody battle involving Michael and the children. Protecting her brother has always been Kristina’s top priority—even when it pushes her toward extreme behavior.
There have also been repeated implications that mental health struggles run in the Corinthos family, including bipolar disorder. If Kristina believed Drew was a genuine threat to Michael’s family, would she be capable of lethal action? Sadly, the answer is yes. It aligns disturbingly well with her past behavior.
3. Opportunity—and a Violent History
Kristina had access to the Quartermaine mansion and ample opportunity to cross paths with Drew. She was already involved in facilitating video calls between Michael and the kids, placing her squarely in the middle of the conflict. The only question mark is why Willow wasn’t targeted as well—since she was arguably the driving force behind the custody drama.
Still, Kristina’s history speaks volumes. This is the same woman who recently held Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) hostage in Alexis’ basement and previously attempted to kill Ava Jerome by sabotaging her car brakes. Violence is not a line Kristina hasn’t crossed before.
What makes this situation even more alarming is Michael’s blind loyalty. Despite Kristina’s instability, he continues to seek her advice—and last week’s conversation between them felt like a major red flag. Michael respects Kristina’s opinion, even when he shouldn’t. If he suspected she was involved, would he protect her at Willow’s expense? Absolutely.
Kristina Corinthos has the skills, the motive, the opportunity, and the temperament of someone capable of pulling the trigger—and pretending it never happened. Whether Michael already suspects his sister, or is quietly covering for her, remains to be seen. One thing is certain: Kristina’s sudden role in this trial is no coincidence, and the truth behind Drew Cain’s shooting may be closer to home than anyone expected.
