General Hospital‘s Drew hasn’t exactly been a great dad to his daughter for quite a while. He is suddenly changing his tune, but the timing may be off for Scout.
Key Takeaways
- Drew is finally trying to build a relationship with Scout.
- Scout has been lying to her dad to get around his rules.
- It will be harder for Scout to lie to a more caring father.
Drew Stepping Up
Drew (Cameron Mathison) has harmed many residents of Port Charles, but the person who suffers the most is his own daughter. The former congressman has basically ignored Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) for years. Even worse, he uses her to hurt those who love her.
Suddenly, he is stepping up. Drew may be an awful person, but he does seem to love his only daughter in his own bizarre way. It’s as if a lightbulb went off in his head, and he has decided to be a good dad. Father and daughter shared a moment when he offered to help her with her homework. They shared feelings, and he promised that nothing would ever separate them again.
Scout loves her dad, but this sudden caring comes at a time when she has finally figured out how to get around his rules.
Scout’s Lies
In the days leading up to her heart-to-heart with her dad, Scout decided that lying to him was her best option. His restrictions had her isolated from her brother, her friends, and her mom’s family. Sneaking around and making up stories gave her some of the freedom her dad had taken from her.
Now it looks like she is getting the father she wanted. Scout is happy to have him back, but his warmth may make it harder for her to lie to him. Telling Drew the truth now doesn’t just risk his anger or restrictions. It risks losing a closeness she’s finally getting back. It was easy to lie when he was cold and unreasonable, but keeping secrets from a loving father is more difficult.
Scout now has a more challenging choice: she can continue to lie or risk becoming isolated once again. What do you think she will do?
