Scott was the town’s DA at one point and he makes no bones about having his character slide back into that role saying, “I would like to be the district attorney again and clean up the streets! I mean, I have played the other side as a private lawyer, and criminal lawyers and mouthpiece lawyers make the money. But I’d love going back to being the district attorney.”

Right now Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) is the DA and tongues have been wagging about how he treated Dr. Liesl Obrecht, thinking that maybe these two could enter into a relationship when she returns from the Hague.
