Willow is married to Michael Corinthos (played by Chad Duell), the son of A.J. Quartermaine and Carly Spencer.

He was later adopted by mob boss Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard).

To add insult to injury, Willow is the daughter of Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watross), who has a secret affair with Drew on the long-running soap opera.

Spoilers for next week, posted by Soap Dirt, suggest that Drew and Willow might be getting ready to take their relationship to the next level, with fans urging the show to “do better.”

During Friday’s episode, Drew and Willow acknowledged their inappropriate feelings for each other before sharing a passionate kiss, leaving several viewers uncomfortable about what comes next.

“I honestly am at a loss for words with the Willow & Drew stuff,” one viewer commented under a preview posted on General Hospital’s Instagram account.

“It’s so disgusting,” they continued. “This is Drew’s nephew’s wife. For him to say the things he said & do the things he did…for her to say & do what she did…it’s so gross. I honestly can’t stand it.”

Another comment read, “I am repulsed by Drew and Willow. I fast forward immediately as soon as I see Drew’s face.”

“Writers WHY!!!” a third person added. “This thing with Willow and Drew is disgusting!!! Drew is sleeping with her mom.

“You need to stop this…I can’t believe Drew is doing this to his nephew!!!! This is going to destroy a lot of people and what about the kids!!!”

Fans became convinced that Drew and Willow were going to sleep together after Thursday night’s episode was aired, with some people pointing out the exact moment that brings them even closer.

‘THE CRINGE’

Speaking at a campaign rally, Drew thanked Willow for being his “cheerleader” while praising Michael “for being smart enough” to marry her.

Shortly after, they found themselves alone with each other, as Willow enquired about Congressman McConkey’s whereabouts.

She later found Drew standing by himself, looking devastated, and asked him what was wrong.
