Since Amanda Setton has taken maternity leave from General Hospital, so Brooke Lynn will looks a little different starting with today’s all-new episode of the ABC daytime drama series. Briana Lane will take over the role temporarily while Setton is on her leave.

Amanda opened up about expecting her third child and her decision to be safe during this time to Soap Opera Digest, stating: “Despite being really excited and eager to jump back into GH, due to the many unknowns with Covid and expectant mothers, it was advised for us to wait it out.”

Amanda went to say on her temporary exit from playing Brook Lynn: “I will miss her, but only temporarily! Looking forward to stepping back into her shoes soon enough!”

Setton had nothing but good things to say about her replacement: “I can’t wait to see what Briana brings to the character! I’m sure she will do an incredible job and will bring her own interpretations to this fun and complex character! I’ll be watching and rooting for her all the way!”

Meanwhile, Lane took to her Twitter account to express: “Honored to fill some big, wildly talented shoes and step in as the fierce and loving Brook Lynn Quartermaine. Working alongside such gifted actors and a kind=-hearted crew on such a legendary show has been a career milestone… So happy to be on board!!

Lane has appeared in American Horror Story, NCIS, All American, and 9-1-1 to name a few.

So ready to give Briana a chance at her take on Brook Lynn, while we wish Amanda all the best during her maternity leave? Comment below.

I missed the boat on Brooke Lynn… she’s so hard looking… her persona is so different from Ned. heck even Lois. i have no interest in her. i have yet to see one scene take, in which she’s adversarial… familial… but then again… look who she’s working with… Lulu and Michael… so i’ll give her a small window. will she take the bait from Valentin, to be a recording STAR… God the GH WRITERS stink when it comes to material… why would Valentin… yeah, he’s wanting control of ELQ.. but to waste Valentin w/Brooke Lynn? here comes Ned and Michael… Read more »

Not happy with this replacement. Not enough oomph for Brook Lynn

Oh, I could really get to love THIS Brook Lynn.I don’t care for A.S, too harsh persona. Today Brook Lynn’s take on Lulu-Hoop was spot on! Maxie is such a pain in the butt, so emotional, pregnant perhaps?
This crap with Dante is just that because we know they are bringing his sorry ass back soon enough.

I like the temporary replacement better as well. She reminds me a little of a younger Catherine Zita Jones. I also like the temporary actress playing Samantha. Now if they can get some temps for Maxie and Lulu, I will really be happy. Let the temps take over.

No offence to the ladies playing Brook Lynn, but I would prefer they send her whole storyline and character back to Brooklyn.

During the hiatus we got to see BLQ v1.0 as brought to us by Adrianne León, reminding us of what a good little actress she was and some of the great story lines of yore. Was she even considered to reprise the role? Always partial to those that got us here–it’s like old home week, a real treat for the audience to see actors return…which is not to be confused with what happened to Gina Tognoni at Y&R (Welcome back, Michelle! Gina, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.) which was as unceremonious as it gets and… Read more »

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Admits To Sonny She Was Falling Back In Love with Jason

October 16, 2021

On Friday’s episode of General Hospital, Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) finally had the “talk”. You know, the one about what Sonny really walked in on the night he “returned from the dead” on Carly and Jason’s (Steve Burton) wedding night? Yeah, that one.

Sonny has already had a conversation with Jason, where Jason admitted he was starting to fall again for Carly, even though they were originally getting married to show a united front for the five families.

Now coming to confront Carly, Sonny is at first greeted by her with “Mike’s” cowboy hat, where she says the man he was in Nixon Falls is a mystery to her. Sonny tells her he spoke with Jason and so Carly is compelled to admit that she and Jason would have slept together on their wedding night, if Sonny hadn’t shown up alive and in the bedroom!

Sonny’s clearly upset about his best friend and his wife getting so close and rekindling their old feelings. Carly tells Sonny that, at first, Jason and she were just going through with the wedding for show, but later, they decided to make it a real marriage, and were falling in love.

When Sonny poses the question to Carly, if she has any residual feelings for Jason, she says they have gone back to being best friends, and how much she loves Sonny. Carly points out that Nina (Cynthia Watros) did this to them – she kept them apart for nine months – and so much has happened that it’s been difficult for them to be together as it was in the past because of it.

In the end, despite what Nina had perpetrated on them, Carly and Sonny come to an agreement that they need to rebuild their relationship. But the cowboy hat looms as we fade to black.

Clearly, the Jason and Carly relationship and almost consummating it on their wedding night, is not sitting well with Sonny; plus Sonny seems to continue to not really tear into Nina for her deception as much as someone would if he didn’t also have feelings for her.

So, what do you hope happens next? Do you want Sonny and Carly to work things out? Do you hope Sonny sleeps with Nina? If he does, and Jason goes back to Britt (now that they are going on another adventure together to locate Liesl) is Carly ultimately the odd woman out?
