Audiences wondered whether Drew might make a good father when shouldered with all the responsibility of raising two children on his own. Many seemed to think that a stable home might not be on the cards in this case, especially given Drew's ongoing extramarital affair with Michael Corinthos' wife, Willow:

After Sam's shocking death on the soap, her mother, Alexis, found and read her will. She realized that Sam had left custody of her two children, Danny and Scout, to Drew. She decided to present this news and the will to Drew and Jason together since the former was Scout's father and the latter was Danny's.
Upon reading the will, Jason insisted that he should at least have custody of his own child. He pointed out that the will had been drafted at a time when he was presumed dead in Port Charles. Sam would not have even considered him an option or a guardian for Danny in that situation. Jason tried to angle for a revisited legal perspective on the will.

Taking the opposite view, Drew argued that he should have custody. He mentioned that it was important to respect Sam's last wishes. Drew also said that it was important to keep the two children together, especially after the loss of their mother. Alexis seemed inclined to agree with this viewpoint, trying to convince Jason that Drew had a stronger legal standpoint according to the will.
However, Jason was not convinced. This disagreement might lead to a custody battle between the two fathers. Fans of the soap seem to be taking sides already, advocating for who should have custody of Sam's children.
