General Hospital
GH’s Amanda Setton Talks Brook Lynn & Chase, Baby Bailey Louise, Being a Q and Her Emotional Scenes
Friday’s episode of General Hospital saw the return of Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) to Port Charles after her brief departure to Bensonhurst. After all, Brook Lynn has been through the emotional ringer of late. After passing off Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) daughter as her own, to protect the little bundle of joy from her biological father, Peter August (Wes Ramsey), all that came to a halt, when Peter wound up dead and Maxie came to the Q’s to take home her daughter.
In emotional scenes played to perfection by Amanda Setton, Brook Lynn knew she had to do the right thing and give the child back to its rightful biological mother and in doing so, Maxie forever named the child “Bailey Louise” and the two women bonded as mommas to the little girl.

Now, in a new exclusive virtual interview that dropped today on The Michael Fairman Channel, Setton chats with Fairman about becoming Brook Lynn Quartermaine, and her thoughts on the emotional scenes between herself and Storms.
In addition, Amanda weighs-in on Brook Lynn’s burgeoning on-screen love story with Chase (Josh Swickard), and what it has been like to play the often-contentious father/daughter scenes between Ned and Brook Lynn with soap vet, Wally Kurth.

Love Brook-lyn❤
Amanda’s portrayal of Brook Lynn is one of the best parts of GH!
Amanda’s portrayal of Brook Lynn and the writers treatment of this legacy character have been spot-on since she was reintroduced a few years ago. She seamlessly fits with all her screen partners and the pairing with Josh Swickard is pure magic. Hopefully a best supporting actress nomination is in her near future.
And finally this week, the wardrobe department is stepping up and putting her in outfits that don’t include blazers.

You said it! Give her some attractive clothes. Are they trying to make her less attractive or what?
I love Brook Lynn’. One of my favorite characters. I cried with her when she gave Bailey to Maxie…
Yolanda Grant
Yes, that was heart wrenching. I don’t know how Maxi can repay this debt, even if it was all out of love. Speaking of Maxi. I do not care for she and Austin as a couple. I would rather see him with Britt.
Agree with your assessment of Maxie and Austin, Violet. If they insist on pairing Roger with someone much younger, Britt (IRL only about 2 years older than Kirsten Storms) doesn’t have the ick factor.
Now, if they want to go in the other direction, a pairing of Austin and Alexis would put together two exceptionally strong actors who could play off each other’s quirks.
Maxie and Austin do NOT work. Maxie needs to find a “Chase” though that never was possible since Nathan. And I don’t think that Spinelli is wanting to return with a major storyline, though he and Ellie are no longer together. Time to SORAS Georgie and James a bit to catch up with Charlotte. I do see Austin with Britt, though the idea of Alexis is actually quite interesting. Everyone talks about Todd from OLTL, but I know Roger from ATWT as Paul Stenbeck and would love to have a bit more of that character show up. At this point, Austin has very little backstory other than being related to the Quartermines.
A huge fan ever since Gossip Girl days. Always wished for more. Enjoyed the OLTL days and so happy to see her now on GH.
Great interview too… thanks to her for sharing.
I love Brook Lynn. One of my favorite characters, too!
Amanda is a dream! She revitalized the Q’s! She is a Tracy in the making! Her and Jane are pure magic together! And like she said in the interview, her and Wally are believable as father and daughter. The best part about this interview, Amanda embraces daytime and she could stay on the show for years to come. Fingers crossed!
She is my absolute favorite … Love her.
Love Brooklyn, beautiful woman and great actress too. Let her get together with Chase. Great chemistry. Britt should be with Austin it seems a better fit than Maxie! Maxie needs a new player in town instead.
Glori
Agree with all you say. Definitely no to Austin and Maxi especially with three ready-made kids. He and Britt are great together and maybe a child of their own.
Does anyone know the name of the song they played during the montage of Chase & Brook Lynn at the end of March 11th episode. Thanks
Soapgal
I think it was The Joker and The Queen. Check it out on Utube if you can.
Well, I guess we know who will be singing Brook Lynn’s music. Remember how well Chase sang at the Nurses Ball, sexy dancer too. They make a good couple.
Violet, pardon the pun but your words are music to my ears. Amanda/Brook Lynn and Chase/Josh are pure magic together. It wouldn’t surprise me if she miraculously regains her singing voice just to serenade the handsome, dashing detective. Finally, something to look forward to. Violet, is it just me or does another new couple, Maxie and Austin, give you the creeps? Something is waaaayyy off there. Not sure what.
Soaphound,
First, I think the same thing about Brook Lynn getting her voice back, only because she just takes it for granted that she’ll never get it back and secondly because she doesn’t even try.
I hate to admit that I’ve never been a big Maxi fan. I know everyone adores her but she rubs me the wrong way, and do not understand why men are so attracted to her. So, on that note I thoroughly agree that she and Austin do not belong together. I, on the other hand am crazy about Roger Howarth except during the pre tumor days. I loved him with Liz and I had hopes of him and Britt getting together but a very strong no to he and Maxi. I don’t get a creepy vibe, I just don’t see any connection at all, nada. So now, aren’t you sorry you even mentioned it? I gave you this long spiel, sorry friend.
Maybe that’s my problem. I like them both but just not together. It’s like watching your real-life friends walk down the aisle when you just know it won’t last two years!
Yes I think her and Chase need to be together they make a perfect couple.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Ava Tie the Knot With Drew?

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!
Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.
Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?
At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.
Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.
Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?
Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.
Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.
You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.
Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Fears Escalating Tensions Between Sonny and Josslyn: ‘I’ve Already Lost One Kid Because of That Man. I Won’t Lose Another’

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”
Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR
Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.
Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.
Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.
At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.
WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?
Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.
Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.
So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
