General Hospital could have utilized the character of Alexis Davis, played by three-time Daytime Emmy-winner Nancy Lee Grahn, solely as a lawyer as she defended Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) for the shooting of her husband, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). But the show, and Drew, gave Alexis some serious stakes in the case – get Willow exonerated or else kiss ever seeing your granddaughter Scout (Cosette Abinante) goodbye.
This may or may not have been a case that Alexis would have taken otherwise, but it was clear that the legal eagle was motivated to clear Willow not for just justice (especially as she’s guilty – but Alexis doesn’t know that) but to continue to play a role in the life of her motherless granddaughter.
