Amanda Setton Opens Up About Brook Lynn's Heart-Wrenching General Hospital Twist
Port Charles has been reeling from the dropping of a major truth bomb on General Hospital. The secret that Gio is actually the son of Dante and Brook Lynn, whom she gave up for adoption when she was a teen, has finally been revealed. Gio feels that his entire existence is a lie, and the ramifications of the secret are going to have repercussions for years to come. Amanda Setton revealed how this storyline is a huge moment in BLQ's life. Until recently, Brook Lynn didn't know the baby she gave up for adoption was a boy. When Gio revealed to everyone that he was hers and Dante's (Dominic Zamprogna) son at the Nurses' Ball, she was floored. In preparing for her character's reaction, Setton told Soap Opera Digest that she wanted to ensure she did justice to her character because, 'I wanted to give the audience and the fans this climactic moment and also serve Brook Lynn.' READ THIS: Take a dive into Brook Lynn's mindset. Being a mother and parent in real life made the storyline feel much closer to home than many others. Of Brook Lynn and the stunning revelation, Setton noted, 'This is arguably the biggest moment of her life, and by far the most emotional, to meet her child.' She was able to see how the story struck a real-world chord with her and translate those emotions to BLQ. READ THIS: Get a look at what's coming up in Port Charles. Feeling 'lucky and privileged' to play Brook Lynn, Setton revealed that going into the Nurses' Ball scenes, she lost her voice, although she didn't have a cold. 'My body knew that I didn't want to do it, that I didn't want to go there emotionally,' she explained. The actress was well aware of the emotional toll it would take on her, but refused to 'phone in' her performance. READ THIS: Check out how the 2025 Nurses' Ball performances were ranked. She was going to plow through those scenes whether her body allowed her or not. She was offered the chance to postpone those scenes until her voice returned, but she insisted that if the record times got moved, 'I won't be as in it. It just won't be as good.' Ultimately, her mantra became, 'Let's just go for it. Let's do it.' And she delivered a powerful performance that could hopefully garner her a Daytime Emmy.

General Hospital Feud? Laura Wright Talks Chemistry With Cynthia Watros
Things finally reached a head on General Hospital when Nina and Carly's argument escalated into a full-on soap opera catfight. Fortunately, Josslyn broke up the fight, but it looks like their alliance is over. The women have been at odds for ages, and Carly's portrayer, Laura Wright, opened up about working with Nina's Cynthia Watros and Carly's perspective on their feud. Wright explained Carly's perspective to Soap Opera Digest, emphasizing that her truce with Nina was just a necessary evil. Carly hasn't forgotten that she caught Nina and Sonny (Maurice Benard) in bed together, and before that, Nina kept an amnesiac Sonny hidden away in Nixon Falls. Carly's mindset is, 'You kept Sonny away from his family, and we all almost died because of it.' READ THIS: Find out who actually won the Carly vs. Nina fight. She explained that Carly doesn't trust Nina, but 'Outside of the pleasure of getting to work with Cynthia, who I think is one of the best humans on the planet, as far as Carly goes, it's, 'You are a means to an end.' ' Nina was horrified that Carly was pushing things and going for full custody of Willow's children, and that's how the whole physical altercation started. READ THIS: Take a peek at what's coming up in Port Charles. According to Wright, Carly's fighting for her grandchildren since their father, Michael (Chad Duell), can't because he's recovering from severe burns in Germany. She explained that their alliance was tenuous at best, and Carly feels she doesn't owe Nina anything. READ THIS: Learn how Watros is and isn't like Nina. But Wright is enjoying this confrontation because she loves working with Watros and remarked that her scene partner is 'just amazing and hilarious and fun.' It's hard to believe these two on-screen enemies enjoy each other's company in real life, but they do. Wright explained that the bottom line of the beef between the women is, 'We're both mothers fighting for our kids, but everyone is acting like Michael is not even alive, and that's infuriating Carly.'

Bold & Beautiful's Scott Clifton On Talk of a Return to General Hospital: ‘I'm Just Thinking About… '
As The Bold and the Beautiful takes Liam's condition from bad to worse — even Hope now knows that he's dying — the writing on the wall is increasingly reading that Scott Clifton will soon be out of a job. Hard to believe, right? He's played Mr. Waffle Man, as his father calls him, for 15 years and in that time has racked up three Daytime Emmys and driven a [bleep]-ton of story. But even if it is the end of the line for Liam, it isn't necessarily a wrap for Clifton's career in daytime. He could return to the role that gave him his start in soaps, that of Dillon Quartermaine on General Hospital. The character's domineering mother Tracy is back in Port Charles as is Lulu Spencer, who once upon a time wove a tangled web to entice him to cheat on then-wife Georgie Jones. Clifton could slip right back into the part as if he'd never left it and been recast with Robert Palmer Watkins. Except for one thing. 'I am not at all thinking about General Hospital or any other show,' he tells Soap Opera Digest. 'I'm just thinking about doing the best job I can do telling this story. That is what is important to me. 'I just want to do right by this show,' he continues, 'and this story and and this storyteller — namely, Brad' Bell, the executive producer and headwriter of Bold & Beautiful. Suffice it to say, Clifton is more than doing right by the story. In fact, as Liam tries to keep his chin up even as he's breaking down, he's shattering our hearts on the daily. Making this heartrending plot even more poignant is that we know the character so well — even if sometimes we've wanted to throttle him. Review in our updated photo gallery.

The Young and The Restless' Cait Fairbanks Discusses Latest Hurdle in Tessa and Mariah's Marriage
There may be a bump in the road for wives Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) and Mariah (Camryn Grimes) on The Young and the Restless. Mariah recently revealed that she has a secret she can't tell her wife, and Tessa is aware something is wrong, but she isn't sure what. Fairbanks spoke to Soap Opera Digest about where Tessa is at when it comes to the tension in her marriage. Since Mariah won't open up about what's going on with her, Tessa has been conjuring up all sorts of horrible possibilities. Fairbanks dished: Not knowing is almost worse than knowing sometimes, because you just have all the fantasies in your head about what's going on and the stress of not communicating with your partner and feeling like you're having a disconnect. I know that with how important the relationship is to Tessa, this is just absolutely killing her.
