General Hospital\u2019s Amanda Setton explained that she could understand Brook Lynn\u2019s emotional turbulence after the Gio revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Port Charles has been reeling from the dropping of a major truth bomb on General Hospital<\/em>. 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\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incredibly Emotional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Until recently, Brook Lynn didn\u2019t know the baby she gave up for adoption was a boy. When Gio revealed to everyone that he was hers and Dante\u2019s (Dominic Zamprogna) son at the Nurses\u2019 Ball, she was floored. In preparing for her character\u2019s reaction, Setton told Soap Opera Digest<\/em> that she wanted to ensure she did justice to her character because, \u201cI wanted to give the audience and the fans this climactic moment and also serve Brook Lynn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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, \u201cThis is arguably the biggest moment of her life, and by far the most emotional, to meet her child.\u201d She was able to see how the story struck a real-world chord with her and translate those emotions to BLQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body and Mind Were Out of Sync<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Feeling \u201clucky and privileged\u201d to play Brook Lynn, Setton revealed that going into the Nurses\u2019 Ball scenes, she lost her voice, although she didn\u2019t have a cold. \u201cMy body knew that I didn\u2019t want to do it, that I didn\u2019t want to go there emotionally,\u201d she explained. The actress was well aware of the emotional toll it would take on her, but refused to \u201cphone in\u201d her performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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, \u201cI won\u2019t be as in it. It just won\u2019t be as good.\u201d Ultimately, her mantra became, \u201cLet\u2019s just go for it. Let\u2019s do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she delivered a powerful performance that could hopefully garner her a Daytime Emmy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
