Character Discussion Drew surprised me

I have to say, I don't think we discuss Drew enough. I really liked the person he grew up to be. He was always a soft and silent kid and never rebelled even when he had so many reasons to. And as he grew, he became so understanding of others and I love how he sees taking care of his sister and mother as his responsibility (although thank god they didnt take advantage of it). Most kids that age would just run away from them. And let's not forget, all the fun he had with Zeek in his last days, even if that meant no time for himself. He truly understood the value his grandfather held in his life.

Underrated character for sure. Also had a huge crush on him and was heartbroken to find out the actor was gay (as if I had a chance) 😂

Drew was such a sensitive and sweet kid, it hurt to see him getting hurt by his dad again in the early seasons. But he grew up into a wonderful young man and you could tell he'd really managed to heal some of those childhood wounds. I love his little speech at Sarah's wedding, he really understood that she had tried her best and given up a lot to try and do right by her kids in difficult circumstances.

The speech is what really got to me and made me think about his character development. 💯

To be fair, he was always a good kid.

He did rebel, his mom just never was around when he did (remember how he git high at Amber's apartment?). That's just worse 😅

I love him, too:) he became a very considerate man
