General Hospital spoilers reveal the fan base is wrestling with a child’s uncertain future, and this week on General Hospital, Alexis Davis’ (Nancy Lee Grahn) push for custody of Emily ‘Scout’ Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante) ignites fan debates over what’s truly best for the girl.
With her father, Congressman Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison), set to relocate to Washington, D.C., Alexis eyes guardianship, but Molly Lansing Davis (Kristen Vaganos) didn’t think her plan was viable.
It left Alexis feeling isolated, and it’s leaving us questioning whether Scout is better off with Alexis and her daughters, staying with Drew, or a third path with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), who raised her with Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco). As Scout’s losses mount, the question lingers — what’s right for her? It would appear the fans do not all agree.
Alexis’ Bid Raises Questions of Stability
Alexis’ desperate grasp for Scout, after Molly’s firm no on grandparents’ rights, stems from grief over Sam’s death and fear of losing the last little piece of Sam that she has left, possibly already worried that she will lose Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) to Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) influence.
Some fans see potential in Alexis raising Scout — with Molly and Kristina Corinthos Davis (Kate Mansi) offering a close-knit family after their surrogate loss. But other fans worry Alexis’ instability — still raw from Sam’s passing — could harm Scout in the long run.
Her past lapses, as well as her current blackmail situation with Ava Jerome (Maura West), make some fans hesitant. Is this nurturing environment the answer, or would it expose Scout to more upheaval if Alexis ended up going back to prison?
Drew’s Role as Dad Faces Scrutiny
Drew’s plan to uproot Scout to relocate to D.C. has fans questioning if he’s the steady force she needs, especially after his numerous scandals and the dark turn his character has taken.
As Scout’s father, Drew’s decent parenting shines through, but his affair with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and schemes against Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) paint him as dirty and nefarious.
Some fans feel that Scout staying with Drew provides stability while others feel it drags Scout into his mess, like his threats against virtually everyone who bucks him.
With Scout already losing Sam, and then losing Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) as a stepmother figure, is Drew’s world really the safest haven?
Dante’s Past with Scout Offers a Third Way Forward
Dante’s history raising Scout with Sam makes him a strong contender for her guardian, a twist fans online are championing as a stable alternative. Unlike Alexis’ emotional volatility or Drew’s scandals, Dante’s cop life brings structure, but his job’s dangerous potential could pose risk to Scout.
With Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) currently out of the picture, Dante’s bond with Scout would feel natural enough, but fans worry it might overload him.
He’s still reeling from the news that Giovanni ‘Gio’ Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) is his son, and Rocco Falconeri’s (Finn Francis Carr) interest in getting to know Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) has laid a lot of his plate as of recent. If we’re being honest, Dante’s steady presence could heal Scout’s wounds, but that doesn’t mean Drew nor Alexis would ever green light this option.
Will it somehow win out anyway? Keep checking back with us right here, every day, for more GH news and spoilers.
