On General Hospital, Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) life as she knows it has turned upside down. First, she and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed divorce papers while in  the Dominican Republic. As much as they loved each other, they just couldn’t get past all the trust issues between them.

Then, right after that, Jude Jax (Wil Traval) shows up at the Q mansion and demands to see his daughter, baby Phoebe! Brook Lynn is thrown for a complete loop. Is this guy claiming to be the biological father of Delilah Wilson’s daughter, which had been adopted by Brook Lynn and Chase, telling the truth? Brook Lynn is on her way to getting to the bottom of his claims.

Meanwhile, Brook Lynn’s portrayer, Amanda Setton just celebrated her first-ever Daytime Emmy nomination, and in the very competitive Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category. While Amanda ultimately did not take home the gold statuette, that honor went to The Young and the Restless’ longtime veteran, Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott), she was in great spirits when Michael Fairman TV caught up with her on the red carpet.

THE END OF THE LINE FOR BROOK LYNN AND CHASE

When asked how she felt about Brook Lynn being the first (between her and Chase) to put pen to paper on their divorce papers, Settton recalled, “She did. But I’m like, ‘Did she or did he kind of?’ They did it (both of them).”

Getting a new co-star and cast member can go one of two ways, great or not so great, but Amanda had nothing but high praise for Wil Traval’s entrance and performance as Jude Jacks!

THE ARRIVAL OF JUDE JAX

“Wil Traval is fabulous to work with. His debut was so amazing the other day, wasn’t it? He was just such a force and everybody’s faces and reactions when he says that he’s, ‘Jude Jacks, Jerry’s son.’ It was so good and well-played! Wil’s awesome. I’m excited for what’s to come. We’re going to have a lot of stuff together.”

According to Amanda, Brook Lynn will have her hands full in the months to come: “There’s a lot of stuff coming down the pike with Baby Phoebe. Will Chase and Brooklyn work together? Will they not? Is it really Jude’s daughter? Lots of questions!”

GRATITUDE TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY HER PEERS

For Setton, being an Emmy nominee meant the world to her, and to finally be acknowledged by her peers in a television career that spanned daytime and primetime including her performances as Kimberly Andrews on One Life to Live. But most importantly for her work in 2025 in the emotional rollercoaster of a story where Brook Lynn learns Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is her biological son.

“It means so much to me,” expressed Amanda. “It really does. I keep using this line, but I really mean it. It feels like a big hug. You know, not everybody who votes for these categories works with you. It’s really a very humbling feeling to know that your work actually touched someone and moved someone enough for them to vote for you. And getting to play the storyline that I got to play was such a privilege. It really was, with the actors I got to play it with. To be a little rewarded for it feels so nice.”

On General Hospital, Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) are now dealing with the fallout of their discovery, the dead body of Jack Brennan. While Carly became a suspect, now the two need to figure out just who was responsible for the former WSB Port Charles Bureau chief’s sudden ending.

Meanwhile, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is trying to put her shattered life back together, after almost killing Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), hallucinating she was seeing a dead Peter August (Wes Ramsey) and trying to shake off years of trauma at the hands of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).

While it has become apparent that Valentin and Carly love each other, the same holds true for Valentin and Anna, but is it differently, now that the former lovers are apart? However, it appears when Anna is in trouble, Valentin shows up to save her. That is not lost on Carly, who up until now has tried to be adult about the whole situation, but how long will that last?

Michael Fairman TV caught up with both Daytime Emmy-winning Lead Actresses on the red carpet at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards and asked them to weigh-in on what viewers can expect, and what’s it has been like working with leading man, James Patrick Stuart.

Laura Wright explained, “James is hilarious. I would say most of our dress rehearsals are laughing it out because we’ve got to show up for taping, but he’s very funny.” Finola Hughes echoed that with, “He’s a very funny person, always,” adding, “I couldn’t be in a scene with him and Amanda Setton (Brook Lynn, GH). It was him, me, and Amanda one time. We couldn’t get through the scene!”

The discussion turned to if GH viewers will see Anna and Carly fighting over the love of Valentin. Laura Wright shared, “Not in the way you would think. It’s not your typical triangle. We’ll say that.” Finola Hughes concurred, “It’s not your typical triangle!”

Watch our chat from the red carpet with Finola and Laura below, and make sure to check out all the moments from Michael Fairman TV at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards here.

So, do you think Valentin will be caught in an actual love triangle between Anna and Carly, or will he be fully in his relationship with Carly, only to find himself constantly coming to the rescue of Anna Devane, causing an ultimate riff in his relationship with Carly? Who would you like to see Valentin with … Anna or Carly? Let us know via the comment section below.

On General Hospital, the marriage of Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) and Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) took a massive nosedive after she had an affair with his uncle Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).

But nobody was prepared for what came next, which saw nasty custody fights between the now exes over their children, Amelia and Wiley, and then Willow shooting Drew and injecting him with a paralytic drug and that’s all just for starters.

Fast-forward and one has to ask, deep down do these two still really love each other? We saw signs of it. Remember when Michael came to Willow’s rescue after Jacinda (Paige Herschell) drugged her? But, where are they at now?

We went right to the source, Rory Gibson and Katelyn MacMullen, to ask them theie thoughts on the messy feelings of Michael and Willow during Michael Fairman TV’s chat with the duo on the red carpet at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards.

LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD

Rory Gibson weighed-in on the state of Michael and Willow sharing, “I think at the end of the day. that’s the only reason that the fights end up as kind of big and nasty as they are, because they do have such a deep love for each other. They just can’t seem to see eye to eye on certain things.”

In response, Katelyn MacMullen joked, “I mean, Michael and Willow can’t pick the same movie. There’s nothing we agree on. Lunch.” Rory chimed in,  “Different dinners!”

Do they hope that Willow’s crimes will be exposed before the clock turns into 2027? Rory Gibson said, “I really hope so!” However, Katelyn responded with, “I hope not! I just want Willow to keep getting away with everything. Michael did it. He does all these terrible things. That’s all I’ll say.”

LOOKING FOR A NEW LOVE OR OLD FLAME?

Meanwhile, it looks like GH is setting up Willow and Chase (Josh Swickard) to hook up and Michael and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) too. When pressed, Katelyn expressed about her Port Charles alter-egos feelings for her other ex!

“Chase and Willow obviously have a lot of history, so I mean, he’s always sort of been there for her, and seen this pure version of her.  I think when they’re together again, like anytime they’re together, she feels like herself again. And that’s the danger, because she doesn’t want to lose that and of course, Chase is really loyal,” explains MacMullen.

Elsewhere, Michael accompanied Jordan to the same burn clinic that helped him with his scars after the penthouse fire, overseas. The soap opera has been teasing the growing closeness between the two.

On the Wednesday, November 4 episode of GH, after Jordan developed a kidney infection from her burn treatments, instead of going back to Port Charles to be with his children, he decided to stay and make sure Jordan was on the end, but encouraged her for now to stop the treatments if it was making her sick.

“Tanisha’s been great,” shared Gibson. “It’s been really lovely working with her. They’re testing the waters there and we’ll see what happens.”
