In the September 22 episode of General Hospital, Tracy had a heart-to-heart with Danny like only the Quartermaine heir can. Tracy was brutally honest, but also reminded him of something Danny doesn’t hear a lot. The conversation came as Valentin became the latest person to write off Danny as nothing more than a bad seed.
Key Takeaways
- Tracy gave Danny a good talking-to after his last car-stealing attempt.
- Danny was reminded of his worth.
- Valentin banned Charlotte from seeing Dannay, calling him a bad influence.
Speaking Like Only Tracy Quartermaine Can
Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) was still facing the consequences of his actions after he tried to steal Tracy’s (Jane Elliot) car. In true Tracy fashion, she lectured him good and heaped a slew of chores on the teen—all of which Danny took in stride.
Tracy informed Danny that she was hard on him because she saw potential in him. Danny was a bit taken aback at her words, especially when Tracy declared Danny was worth it.
Being told something positive isn’t really the norm for Danny these days. Tracy knew that, so she used her lecture to remind him of the good in him and his future. Danny also learned Tracy wouldn’t let him squander his gifts, like Jason (Steve Burton) did, and it was another reason she was hard on him.
Danny Got an Earful He Needed at the Best Possible Time
Tracy also encouraged Danny to stop pushing Jason’s limits and to ask him about his gifts that were squandered. Danny confessed what he did to Jason, but didn’t press his father about his past.
While Danny learned a valuable life lesson from Tracy, Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) received a lecture from Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) after she tried to set Drew (Cameron Mathison) up. The more Charlotte talked, the more outraged Valentin became.
Things went from bad to worse for father and daughter when Valentin declared Charlotte couldn’t see Danny. Remember, the reason Charlotte went to such lengths was to help Danny blackmail Drew into letting Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Danny see each other.
Why Tracy’s Reminder to Danny Is Even More Important Now
Danny has certainly gotten into his fair share of trouble over the past few years. However, the label that he’s a bad kid came from Drew and really had nothing to do with Danny. It was all about Drew’s hatred for Jason.
Valentin jumping on the Danny-is-bad bandwagon will be a blow to Danny. After all, Danny tried to stop Charlotte in more ways than one. Danny never wanted Charlotte to go to the lengths she did.
Tracy made it clear that Danny has value, that he was important and had worth, which will mean more to him now as he may loose his best friend. Plus It’s a positive reinforcement Danny hasn’t gotten a lot of since Sam (Kelly Monaco) died.
Listen, Danny’s not a bad kid and doesn’t deserve people like Drew or Valentin writing him off. Even Scout and Rocco (Finn Carr) have started getting into the “Danny is bad” narrative, and that Danny doesn’t deserve it.
Danny knows he makes stupid mistakes, and he always takes the punishment for his actions without complaining. Thankfully, he has Tracy in his corner, because he might just need her to go all Quartermaine on a few people.
