Casting[]
On September 6, 2012, a baby named Sadie portrayed a year-old version of Emily Morgan, a daughter in Sam's fantasy of what her life would be like with Jason and their two children (Emily and Danny). She is pictured to the left.
The role of Emily Scout was first portrayed by a set of unknown triplets for four episodes (Feb 28-Mar 3, 2017).[5]
Twins Lori and Sevan Andonian portrayed Scout from March 9, 2017 to July 28, 2017.[6][7][8][9]
Scout has been portrayed by twins Palmer and Poe Parker since October 25, 2017.[10]
On July 1, 2019, the role of Scout was recast with Ella Ramacieri. Ramacieri made her final appearance on December 30, 2021.
On September 14, 2022, Cosette Abinante began portraying Scout.[11]
Background[]
Emily Scout was conceived in June of 2016 (making her due in March of 2017[12]) in London, while her parents were on the run from the law. While in Greece, Sam experiences fatigue and dizzy spells that lead to her fainting twice.
After returning home to Port Charles, she faints again after a confrontation with her father and is admitted to General Hospital. Dr. Hamilton Finn examines her and takes her blood to run tests. A little while later, he returns with some of the blood results, which confirmed the pregnancy. Sam is elated and she canโt wait to tell โJason". At the time of Scout's conception, everyone still believed that Drew was his twin brother, Jason. Originally, the character was created by the writers as the daughter of Jason and Sam, but her paternity was retconned when "Jason" was revealed to be his twin brother Drew.
When Drew arrives at the hospital, he is happy to see that Sam is okay, but before she can tell him about the baby, he has a dizzy spell. Dr. Finn examines Drew and discovers that he has a 102ยฐ fever and might have contracted malaria (he did contract it but was treated and cured) from being in the Mediterranean.
Since Sam was also there, she was tested as well, because if she had contracted the disease, it could cause complications for her pregnancy such as anemia, low birth weight and stillbirth. As a result and out of fear, Sam puts off telling Drew about the pregnancy for a little while.
On August 15, Sam tells Drew that she's pregnant and he's elated. Afterwards, Sam tells him that she and the baby might have malaria and that's why she didn't tell him right away because she was scared and also didn't know if the baby will even make it. Drew reassures Sam that no matter what they are in this together (take his hand and he'll always be there and never let go) and that the baby is here now because they love each other.
The first and second tests for malaria come back negative, reassuring Sam and Drew that she and the baby would be alright. Like her pregnancy with Danny, Sam experienced a lot of morning sickness during the first trimester of her pregnancy.
During her parent's "second wedding" on September 2, 2016 (shown on September 2 and 6), a toast was made in her honor. On October 21, Sam and Drew felt the baby kick for the first time. On October 25, Sam and Drew tell Danny that they are having a baby and that he will be a big brother. Danny is excited and nicknames the baby, Scout (which is also what Drew and Sam called the baby throughout the pregnancy, what her middle name is and what she will go by).
On November 1, Sam was hospitalized for what was later revealed to be round ligament pain,[13] something that is very common during pregnancy, but was told to take it easy. On December 7, Drew and Sam went in for an ultrasound and decided not to find out the gender. Their OB-GYN, Dr. Kelly Lee gives them an envelope with the baby's gender written down on it in case they decide they want to know.
On December 21, Maxie Jones throws Sam a baby shower. Alexis, Monica, Carly, Kristina and Molly all attend. Monica gifted Sam and the baby with a Quartermaine family heirloom -- the spoon Edward and Lila used to feed Alan when he was a baby. Alexis gifted Sam and the baby with a rocking motorcycle and Kristina gifted Sam and the baby with a little leather jacket. Toward the end of the shower, Maxie surprised Sam with a gender reveal cake. Sam is initially upset that Maxie stole the envelope she got from Dr. Lee, which held the baby's gender, but she quickly forgives Maxie and the cake remains uncut.
Later on, Drew arrives and they decide to find out the gender of their baby together. With all of the party guests gone, they cut into the cake and find out the gender, but it's not revealed to the audience.
In January 2017, Sam experienced cramping and was told yet again to take it easy. On February 8, Sam has another prenatal appointment and afterward she and Drew are told that all of her blood work and most of her tests came back normal. However, during the fetal non stress test[14] the baby's heart rate didn't increase like it was supposed to. Dr. Lee assured them that it's nothing to be concerned about; the baby was likely just sleeping, but she wanted them to be aware of it. On February 22, Monica gifts Drew with Jason's old baby blanket (still believing that he is Jason), knitted by his grandmother, Lila, as a gift for baby Scout.
Scout, like her older brother, Danny, is seen as a miracle child because in May of 2006, Sam was shot in the back by Manny Ruiz, while in Jason's arms. She recovered after a month-long stay in the hospital; and later, she and Jason tried to start a family only to be told that she would never be able to have children as a result of the extensive damage done to her uterus from the gunshot wound. However, in May of 2011, Sam underwent a procedure called fertility reconstruction; the surgery was a success, allowing her to carry Danny to term. When she was revealed to be pregnant with baby Scout, she told Drew that after the fertility reconstruction and carrying Danny to term, the doctors didnโt know if she would ever be able to conceive again (without fertility treatments[15]).[16][17][18]
Through her mother, she had an older sister Lila McCall, who was stillborn on November 8, 2004 and a older brother named, Danny.
Through her father, she had an older brother named, Oscar, who died from a cancerous brain tumor on April 29, 2019 (shown on May 1, 2019).
Scout was born during the year of the Phoenix (or Rooster), which is also what her mother, Sam symbolizes.[19]
Scout is named after late adoptive aunt, Emily Quartermaine. Her cousin Emily Matthews-Morgan, who was miscarried in August of 2003 was also named after her.
In 2019, she experienced a tremendous loss. Her father Drew was declared dead in absentia after the plane he was on crashed in the Gulf of Aden (although his body was never found), and her mother Sam temporarily went to prison in October after she was arrested for murder. She was released in December in time for Christmas. Scout often has trouble sleeping, as she misses her dad. In 2021, her father Drew was revealed to be alive and has been held in a foreign prison for the last two years after being extracted from the ocean by a mysterious boss.[20]
Storylines[]
Emily Scout was born onscreen February 28, 2017 to Drew Cain and Sam McCall and was delivered by her father. In late February, Olivia Jerome kidnapped, threatened and pushed a very pregnant Sam off a bridge and luckily, she and Scout both survive the fall. As a result of the fall, Sam goes into labor. Drew and Alexis quickly discover that Sam is missing and put the pieces together that "Liv," Alexis's AA sponsor, is really Olivia Jerome, Julian's sister. Drew finds a photo on Sam's phone that gives him a clue to where she is. He immediately goes out in search of her while Sam experiences rapidly increasing contractions.
Drew finds Sam, half conscious and in labor at the bottom of the bridge. He tries to get her to a hospital, but she tells him that it's too late and the contractions are coming too close together. With no time to waste, Drew delivers the baby and it's revealed that the baby is a little girl. However, she isn't breathing when she's born. Sam begs Drew to save their baby and he quickly administers CPR and gets Scout breathing again. But, just as the baby recovers, Sam passes out.
Drew is able to wake Sam up and she and the baby lock eyes for the first time and they have a family hug. Sam tries to get Drew to take their daughter and go, but he refuses to leave her and then they both notice that Sam is still bleeding heavily. Drew tells Sam that he is going to carry both her and their daughter out of there. He hands Sam their daughter and carries them to safely just as the paramedics arrive and Sam passes out again. They arrive at the hospital where it's revealed that Scout was showing signs of cold stress and she was taken to be warmed up. While Scout was okay, her mother was not and Sam was taken into surgery to repair some internal bleeding. Later on, Scout gets a visit from her dad and aunt Robin.
Later on, her grandma Alexis brings Scout to see her mom (who is in a coma) and when her dad places her on her mom's chest, Sam wakes up. Afterwards, Scout and her parents share a few precious family moments.
A week later, Scout and her parents are seen with her grandma Monica Quartermaine and her parents decide to name her Emily Scout Morgan, after Jason and Drew's late sister, Emily Quartermaine.
Later, Scout is seen with her parents, then grandma Alexis, where Sam tells Alexis Scout's full name. Later on, Scout, her mom and grandma are evacuated from the hospital due to a bomb. On March 13, Scout meets her uncle Sonny, after the hospital is saved and the bomb is defused thanks to her father and Curtis Ashford. Scout sees her grandma Alexis again and it is revealed that she met her aunts Kristina and Molly. Later on, Elizabeth comes for a visit and gifts Sam with a baby book to record all of Scout's firsts. The next day, Scout meets her aunt Carly, who stops by for a visit.
On March 23, Scout goes home with her parents and spends time with her uncle Sonny, who brings her a teddy bear as a gift. She also meets her big brother, Danny. The next day, she meets her parent's investigative partner, Curtis, who gifts her with a new baby blanket. She also gets a visit from her aunts, Kristina and Molly.
On April 3, Sonny and Carly Corinthos became Scout's Godparents. On April 14, Scout sleeps through her first Easter egg hunt at the park with her parents, big brother, Danny and grandma Alexis. On April 21, Scout is seen at her grandma Alexis' house with all the Davis girls.
In May, Scout had a mild fever but was okay otherwise and then it was revealed that her aunt Molly took her and presumably Danny to the zoo. In June, Scout is seen with her mom and grandma Alexis. After a little while, Sam leaves Scout with her grandma and then she meets her grandpa Julian.
In July, it was revealed that Sam had Toxoplasmosis and that Scout could've contracted it as Sam was exposed to it the night she gave birth to Scout. While at the hospital with Sam, Drew calls Alexis to have her bring Scout to get tested. It was later revealed that Scout's tests came back completely normal. Later on, Kristina takes Scout back to the penthouse.
In September, Scout is "seen" outside Kelly's with her aunt Kristina and Parker. On October 25, Scout is seen with her parents and brother Danny.
On November 10, Scout meets Patient 6, who turns out to be her uncle Jason Morgan and he tells her about her big sister, Lila. On December 8, Scout is seen with her parents.
On December 21, Scout is seen on her first Christmas meeting her big brother, Oscar.
On February 28, 2018, Scout and her family celebrated her first birthday.
On April 25, 2019, Scout is seen at the Quartermaine Mansion with her family. On July 1, 2019, Scout is seen at her father Drew at Aurora media and got sit in her father's office chair. Sadly, Drew was presumed dead in a plane crash on August 21.
On February 4, 2020, Scout is seen with her mother Sam at Kellyโs diner. Scout was coloring a picture and Sam was investigating. They ran into Finn who stopped by to talk. Sam brings up Drew and puts headphones on Scout because she didnโt want her to hear the conversation. Sam discovered that Peter could be responsible for the crash and for framing her for Shiloh's escape.
On August 16, 2021, Scout's father Drew was revealed to be alive when he called Sam for help. Sam didn't believe he was Drew at first since she thought he was dead for the last two years but Drew swore that he is who he says he is, he didn't have much time and that they were coming for him.
Before Sam could get more information, the line went dead. When Sam told Dante Falconeri about the call, Dante had I.T. trace the call but they couldn't figure out where the call was made. After discussing the possibilities, Sam began to consider that Drew may have survived the plane crash after all. An Australian guard was seen throwing Drew back into a cell at a foreign prison and told him that that's the last place he'll ever see.
On August 24, Drew had hallucinations of Sam and their daughter, Scout.
On Halloween night 2023, Scout is seen at the Kelly's Halloween party with her mom, and friends, Avery Jerome-Corinthos and Donna Corinthos. Avery picks Scout, Sam and Carly to be on her team vs. Wiley, James, Nina and Willow in a game of corn hole. Wiley's team ends up winning the game. Before leaving the party, Scout takes an extra bag of candy to save for her dad, who was serving time in Pentonville Penitentiary.
On Tuesday, November 7, Drew is released from prison and reunites with Scout.
On November 28, Scout and Sam meet Drew at the Metro Court Hotel, so Scout could interview Drew about his job at Aurora Media for her school project. After the interview, Drew tells Scout and Sam that he was able to secure a spot for her at a prestigious private school, Westwood Academy, and she could start right after the holiday break. Drew is excited because the school has many subjects to study, an elite swim team and great study abroad programs. Scout is uncertain, but agrees to go to the school if it'll make her father happy. Later, she sadly tells Sam that she does not want to go to a new school.
On New Year's Eve, Scout is home sick with the flu. She has a nightmare about going to Westwood Academy and tells Sam and Dante that she is afraid to go. After seeing how this decision was affecting Scout, Sam tells her that she does not have to switch schools.
