Who Should Have Custody of Sam McCall’s Children on General Hospital?
Sam McCall’s (Kelly Monaco) death is about to set up explosive and life-changing developments for several of her family members, exes and close friends. Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) just found her daughter’s last will and testament that was drawn up over two years ago. At that time, Sam named Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) as the person who s she wants to raise her children, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Scout (Cosette Abinante), should she meet her demise.
Drew is now a very controversial choice given his “affair” with Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), his political aspirations, and problems with his brother, Jason (Steve Burton). Previously, Alexis had said to Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) that they are at some point going to have to discuss custody of Sam’s children, and she thinks they should live with her.
That declaration upset Dante, who wants to keep Sam and his blended family together that includes: his son, Rocco (Finn Carr), and Sam’s children, Danny and Scout. The three kids have bonded as brothers and sister and have voiced they would love to stay together.

Meanwhile, there is Jason. Since returning to Port Charles earlier this year, he has been become very close with his son, Danny. Previously, Danny mentioned if it would be OK to live with him, and Jason said they would need to discuss it.
While we could see Scout living at the Q’s and Drew trying to be a good dad to her (while going in and out of her life due to his political office and obligations), Danny is another story. Drew would like nothing more than to stick it to Jason after the brawl that ensued after Jason learned Drew’s penchant for Michael’s (Chad Duell) wife. Would he weaponize getting custody of Danny against Jason? Would Drew even want to raise both kids?

Sam never felt comfortable with Jason’s lifestyle which she did not want to impose on their son, Danny. Jason knows she would not love the idea of him raising their son, but Danny feels otherwise. Meanwhile, Alexis is go grief-stricken she may use any legal means possible to have a part of Sam with her for as long as she can, and would want Scout and Danny to live with her.

As for Dante, now that he is soon to find out that Lulu (Alexa Havins) is out of her coma, will that change his trajectory? Will he realize he has to do what’s right for Rocco and Lulu? Is Lulu capable of raising their son at this point in time? Stay tuned.
So, who do you think should have custody of Scout and Danny? Let us know your pick (s) and why via the comment section, and you can cast your votes in our poll below.
Alexis should have custody.
That was my first answer.
I think to me in My opinion that Both Alexis Davis and Jason Morgan and Dante Falconeri Should have full Custody of Danny Morgan and Scout Quartermaine.
Yes i agree
I agree
I agree, Drew who I do know he adores his daughter..Is not capable of uniting as Jason and Dante…Know this new version of Drew Sucks Drew..Who seems to be a totally different person..One Samantha would not like..Since Dantes Mom is married to Jason’s cousin and this has always been Jason’s Family home..They all belong together…
WHY?
Danta
Jason hands down
Jason is willing to change occupation for Danny let him raise his own son like Jason said Danny is old enough to choose for himself and Scout as for Rocco he has a Mom and Dad with needs a lot of care, praying everyone do the right thing for the kids..
Scout is Drew’s daughter, so he should have custody. Danny is Jason’s, so there is no way in hell that Drew’ should have him. Because of Jason’s line of work, Danny should be placed with Alexis. Dante will be busy rescuing Lulu from Cyrus.
Dante
Dante
Nope
It’s very obvious that Sam’s will was written at a time when Jason was presumed to be “dead” and so in that context, he obviously would not have been an option to raise Danny.
Sam more than likely wrote a revised will since Jason returned. Alexis wouldn’t know about that because she didn’t have her law license at the time, so Sam would have had to look elsewhere for legal help. Molly works for the DA’s office, so she wouldn’t have been helpful either. So of course, Sam would have gone to Diane to file the “new” will.
Diane has been pretty much AWOL since Robert left town. Not that anyone could blame her if she needed to take a break after that. But I’m guessing she will eventually show up, with Sam’s “new and improved” will in her hands. At that point the question will be whether or not Alexis tries to convince Diane to supress this “new” will.
Dante
There’s not a snowball’s chance in my back yard that Dante would get legal custody of two kids who aren’t his. But he’d be a better option than Hallmark Drew, given everything he’s done since he got shanked in prison.
When Diane an Alexis was in the there office Diane had on her desk the Will for Sam’s an didn’t let Alexis see that so that has to be revised will for Sam an Alexis an Drew didn’t even know an that is going to hit the fan of what Sam wanted an Drew an Alexis will be out of luck ! An Diane was told by Jason that Sam was gone! So Diane probably had the will out before Alexis came in at the office that day!
Alexis, for stability temporarily with frequent Q overnights. Keep the kids together!!!
Jason and Drew can have separate overnight weekend visitation, but the kids need a stable life.
Jason is in too dangerous of a life for full-time custody.
Drew is heading to Washington to represent Port Charles so will be MIA frequently.
And Dante is obviously going to have the Lulu rollercoaster, so hopefully Rocco can hang at Alexis’s or the kids can all have movie night at the Qs.
And Alexis could benefit greatly from having her grandkids with her as they all mourn Sam.
Very best response – thank you.
Too many posters are choosing their favorites/who they like (Jason & Dante).
i feel that dante should have custody he is the most stable person im hoping that lulu will reunite with dante and they can raise all the children together mybe charlotte can joined them then they will be a happy family.
How would you feel if it was you I think the kids should be included in the decision they are very good and well manner
I agree they all want to stay together.
Wouldn’t be fair to the kids why did Dante wait so long to ask Sam to marry him men move in with women first and then ask them to marry them later which it should be the other way
I agree
Alexis should have custody. She’s a blood relation to both Danny and Scout. She’s got a stable home, stable job, stable life. And also both kids can stay together rather than separating the siblings, which would be traumatic to both. The blended family with Sam and Dante was cute and it worked, but Dante is not a blood relation. He needs to focus on his own son Rocco and his own family. Jason should not be in charge of any kids whatsoever with the life he leads. Drew, hopefully he takes a one way trip to Washington DC and never comes back.
What choices grandma is a disbarred lawyer with alcohol issues and was in the slammer
A mobster with traumatic brain issues
A politician who can’t keep his pants or shirt on Cameron
Definitely Dante who has been “dad” to these three kids for years. That way they can all stay together and their real dads can visit whenever they wish.
Amen couldn’t agree more
Drew is very busy sleeping with a mother-daughter right now. And he’s about to go to D.C. to find more people to sleep with or pay hush money to. Let the kids primarily live with Alexis. They can alternate weekends staying at the Q’s where their fathers can visit them.
Ideally its Dante, but no court is gonna grant him custody of two kids with two different parents, Drew or Jason won’t let the other raise their kids and therefor Alexis whose biologically related by blood to both children is the more reasonable choice especially if its to keep them together.then theoretically since their all privilege and have money, all living at the Quatermaine is do able, heck Jason could move to some made up apartment in the property above the garage haha and kick out Joselyn and Trina or Michael could give up the cottage, haha again these people have options that could benefit the kids but I see a lot of feuding in their future,
Agreed they should Joss & Trina out (and have Gio go back to Bensonhurst). Michael’s probably moving up to the main house leaving Willow in the gatehouse with the kids.
Diane has the updated will. Any lawyer would have marked the old will as null and void in their files when the new will was executed. Why is Diane “MIA”?
Alexis. Dante
Everyone should take care of their own kid. It’s not like they couldn’t see each other. Alexis is an alcoholic and almost killed Danny once. Just sayin…..
The fathers should have custody of the kids cause of Alex past she not stable and Donte is not up to raisen them either so let the father do it
I think Lulu knot Cyrus is bad news as she kept eyes closed when he was in the room
A fall on the floor should be reported . Laura and Dante need to show up there !
Alexis should stay out of it all together she a busybody and was not Sam’s attorney.
Didn’t they Sam’s will sitting on Diane’s desk? Why isn’t she coming forward with it? Surely Sam updated it and wouldn’t the biological fathers have rights?
Love Jason Thompson bk as Patrick Drake on gh it’s time for him bk w Kimberly McCullough as Robin bk together, Bring Nathan bk to gh love him bk w Maxie Jason should raise Danny & Scout.
Here’s an idea. How about Lucas as guardian?
This may be the perfect opportunity for Michael to get payback at Drew for sleeping with his wife, If Drew attempts to get custody of Danny, Michael could intervene and pay a corrupted judge to give Jason full custody of Danny, and to give Alexis and Dante visitation rights.
You make a good point. I can see Michael doing that. Nothing Michael does surprises me.
I think everyone but Drew should have joint custody
I think that Danny should live with Jason
I think Jason should have Danny live with him.
I’m not sure having the whole family living at the quatermains is a great idea.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Bradford Anderson and Steve Burton for making my aunt so happy last night. They gave quite a show at the Smithtown theater on Long Island. My aunt said they were amazing. They also took a picture together, which I know my aunt will treasure forever—❤️
Loved today’s scenes with the kids and the dads. Nice to see some happiness for a change. Could not believe Jason saying he was moving in also. Can’t wait to see the “Q” reactions to this news, especially Tracy.
I feel the same way.
Dante
I think Dante should stay with the children he is a better fit Nathan that all of them.
They should all live together at the Q mansion!! What fun storylines could come out of that
I think keep them all 3 together with Dante with them seeing their real fathers for visits this is what all the children want
Alexis should have custody
They all should move into the Quartermain house.
Dante
Dante or Alexis
Dante and Jason should move into Q mansion with the kids. Keep the 3 kids together. Drew doesn’t deserve to raise Scout. P.S. what the heck is going on at GH? Everyone is leaving?
Sam should have custody of her children. She shouldn’t have been fired in the first place.
I believe that Dante should keep the children he has been raising them for years with Sam why change things just because she is gone they are a family

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”

Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
