Drew’s Shocking Power Play: Isolating Scout in Port Charles—Will His Extreme “Protection” Backfire and Ignite a Dangerous War?

Just when you think Drew couldn’t possibly sink any lower, he proves everyone wrong in the August 25 episode of General Hospital. The congressman shocks Port Charles by pushing forward with his plan to keep everyone Scout loves away from her. With restraining orders flying left and right, Drew claims he’s protecting his daughter—but in reality, he’s isolating her more than ever.

Drew’s Descent Into Darkness

From the weekly GH preview, fans already knew Stella was about to be arrested for insurance fraud—a move orchestrated by Drew himself. Martin just quit, but Drew wasted no time hiring a new legal team to further his agenda. His next target? Scout’s family.

Alexis tried to reason with Drew, urging him to put Scout’s well-being first. But Drew, convinced he knows best, shocked everyone by serving Alexis with a restraining order right in the middle of the restaurant—banning her from coming within 500 feet of her granddaughter. Kristina, Molly, Danny, and even Rocco are also receiving restraining orders, effectively cutting Scout off from her siblings and loved ones.

Port Charles on Edge

Alexis couldn’t hold back, her Cassadine side flaring as she vowed to fight Drew’s outrageous actions. Laura and Martin witnessed the confrontation, but chose to stay silent—for now. It’s clear that General Hospital is setting the stage for a major mystery, and someone in Port Charles may soon seek revenge on Drew.

On soaps, actions like Drew’s never go unpunished. Whether it’s a stint in the hospital or something far worse, Drew’s days as Port Charles’s public enemy number one could be numbered.

Meanwhile, the same episode saw Ric, Ava, and Kristina embroiled in their own intense showdown. With the weekly preview teasing a body in the water, fans are left wondering: Who will pay the ultimate price by week’s end?
