Scout is a cipher who probably didn't need to exist played by a typical smiling soap kid. Like most kids on the show. We have no reason to care about her unless they go out and find a really talented young girl and invest, which they could do and I'd be open to it.
But for now, I still think Drew's weakness goes back to both Sam, who's gone, and Jake. They were his closest relationships when he was a better man, particularly when he thought he was Jason in the Billy Miller years, a Jason who was divesting himself of the mob, very close with Monica, welcome at the Quartermaines and moving into legitimate enterprise (Aurora). He has lost Curtis, who he used to be close to. Those are things you can explore to add some shading and dimension to him again. It's even hypothetically possible to redeem Drew too - he could go out and save a bunch of kids or characters we like during sweeps or something - but not only would most of the audience likely never be there for it, mostly I simply see no need for that. He's a great villain. Why mess with it?
I don't think either Michael nor Drew and Willow add up to a new Alan and Monica. I suppose you could try with Michael and the new Willow but I'm not interested in that. They can have hate sex, they can relentlessly try to destroy each other but ultimately it would end. They should never be in love again.
