Drew has made many foolish moves on General Hospital, but trying to control his daughter is going to come back to bite him. Will he ever realize that he is ruining his relationship with Scout?

Key Takeaways

  • Drew has been trying to control Scout.
  • Scout is older now and wants to spend time with her family and friends.
  • She is lying to do what she wants.
  • Drew may be ruining his relationship with his daughter.

Drew’s Control

Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) vindictiveness has turned family and friends against him. He didn’t care as long as he had Willow (Katelyn MacMullen). He can no longer control his ex-wife, so he has turned his attention to Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski).

When she was younger, Scout had no voice when it came to her dad. He told her what to do and who to see, and she had no choice but to do as he said. She has suddenly become a teenager, and things are quickly changing. Scout wants to spend time with her brother, friends, grandmother, and aunt. Drew is preventing her from doing so, and he will be the one to regret it.

Scout’s Independence

Scout is her mother’s daughter, and she has both Sam’s (Kelly Monaco) independent and stubborn streaks. She has realized that her dad is not so much trying to keep her safe; he is trying to keep her from those who love her. This is causing her to lie to her father.

Scout wants connections, and secrecy is the best way to maintain them. She schemes to see Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) for small increments of time, and she lies about her whereabouts when she is with Rocco (Finn Carr). Even Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has come on board with keeping secrets from Drew. Scout specifically asked her grandmother and Molly (Kristen Vaganos) to lie about their time together, and they agreed.

Scout does love her dad, but she knows that he is unreasonable and may be learning that he is also vindictive. His actions are causing unintended consequences, and he may be sacrificing his relationship with Scout if this continues.

Do you think Scout will end up resenting her dad?
