William Shakespeare might not have had General Hospital‘s Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Nina (Cynthia Watros) in mind when he penned “Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows,” but the quote is apropos nonetheless.

Cameron Mathison On ‘Agression Attraction’

Unlike the many who saw this hookup coming, Mathison was at a loss. “I didn’t see it coming at all. I really didn’t,” he insisted to Soap Opera Digest.

“I think the audience did. Cynthia [Watros, Nina] did some appearances and I guess the audience was ‘You and Drew, there’s some sexy chemistry there.’ I was like, ‘Wait, what? Really?’ I didn’t even get it. So I love it that it was very unexpected. The writers saw it, too. And, I love that it’s not a typical way for two people to be … physical. I was gonna say intimate, but there’s not a lot of intimacy there.”

As for what happens in the immediate aftermath of the deed: “The two of them are both like, all right, let’s forget about that and move on. It’s like a weird kind of aggression attraction. There’s obviously attraction there, but I don’t think either of them expected it, and I think they’re both totally shocked and surprised by it. I think Drew gets a kick out of it whereas Nina is a little embarrassed by it. He’s like, ‘Well, that happened and that was weird because I really don’t like you.’ Personally, I think it’s really fun and different and kind of sexy because of that.”
