“General Hospital” star Cameron Mathison (Drew Cain) has signed a multi-year, multi-picture deal with Great American Media, where he will star in projects across the company’s portfolio of platforms, including cable networks Great American Family and Great American Living, plus streaming service Great American Pure Flix. Mathison has already starred in two movies for Great American Family, “A Merry Christmas Wish” and “A Kindhearted Christmas.”

“Cameron Mathison is one of entertainment’s most prolific and cherished stars and has a resume that is respected across the industry,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. “Having collaborated with Cameron on many past projects, I am thrilled to welcome him home to Great American Media and look forward to working with him on content that our viewers will love for years to come.”

“It is very important to me to create well-crafted, beautiful stories,” noted Mathison. “I am grateful to be back at Great American Media and to collaborate with some of the best creative teams in entertainment to make heartwarming content everyone can enjoy.”

Mathison first made a name for himself in 1998 when he joined the cast of “All My Children” as Ryan Lavery. He exited the series in 2002 only to return in 2003. The actor remained part of the cast until the show concluded its run on ABC in 2011. Later, Mathison went on to star in several Hallmark movies, primarily opposite Alison Sweeney (“Days of our Lives”) in the “Hannah Swensen Mystery”/“Murder She Baked” series.

With Sweeney signing a multi-picture deal with Hallmark Media last year and Mathison now signed with Great American Media, the future of the “Hannah Swensen Mystery” series is currently in doubt. This year alone, the two co-starred in the movies “Carrot Cake Murder” and “A Zest for Death,” both under the “Hannah Swensen Mystery” banner. “A Zest for Death: A Hannah Swensen Mystery” aired in October on Hallmark Channel.

Outside of acting, Mathison has spearheaded multiple projects as a host, including SOAPnet’s “I Wanna Be A Soap Star,” the weekend edition of “Entertainment Tonight,” and the morning show “Home & Family” for Hallmark Channel, among others. He’s also been a special contributor for “Good Morning America.”

At press time, there was no indication that Mathison would be departing his role as Drew Cain on “General Hospital.” He joined the series in August 2021.
