They have given Nancy a lot to hang on her this past year with so little return for her, like a proper love interest. I have made a lot of sport on this forum of Alexis' various romantic humiliations but I do think it's time again, be it with a man or a woman.
There have long been rumors that Nancy is loath to do stories which play up Alexis' Cassadine past these days which I'm not convinced are true, but frankly she has played far worse so I would do it, including bringing some strange Eurotrash cousins in or something. More importantly, I would say the Natasha of the late '90s or early 2000s would have taken more extreme steps against Drew when pushed to the brink like this long ago. If she and Luke in their heyday had to deal with him, they would've by now within a hair's breadth of what they did to Katherine Bell. She should be nearing that extreme, and NLG can still play it.
I would be more interested in the idea of Scout having shot Drew (an unfortunate riff on Rachel having just shot E.J. on DAYS months ago, or the aborted plan for Little Al Holden to shoot Carlo Hesser at OLTL when Frank was starting out there) if Scout had literally any personality to speak of or character like some of the other kids, as opposed to being a sad cipher. I just don't care about her; like Donna, Avery, Bailey or Amelia, I regularly forget she exists when she's not onscreen. If it's anyone it should still be Willow IMO.
