Common Hospital‘s Brook Lynn Quartermaine, performed by Amanda Setton, is a residing reminder that payback is a bitch!
After Lulu (Alexa Havins) caught her nostril into Brook Lynn and Dante’s (Dominic Zamprogna) secret love little one’s origins, Brook Lynn returned the favor and researched the truth that the late (or is that “late”) Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) had birthed Lulu and Dante’s son, Rocco (Finn Carr).
Setton performs Brook Lynn as a lady who can separate her animosity in direction of Lulu and her not wanting Rocco to get harm. In spite of everything, he’s to not blame for his mother’s actions. So, Brook Lynn determined not to point out Rocco the file that contained the details about his difficult beginning origins.
Nonetheless, when Lulu discovered that Brook Lynn had performed an enormous position in Rocco discovering out the reality anyway, she hightailed over to the Quartermaine property to provide her a chunk of her thoughts. Whereas Brook Lynn felt badly about Lulu’s son being traumatized, she was by no means going to let Lulu’s perceived hypocrisy cross.
Setton performed Brook Lynn as being horrified that Rocco had discovered that Britt was the girl who introduced him into the world, however she refused to play Lulu’s punching bag.
“I believed you by no means lied to your kids,” Brook Lynn said, “that you simply didn’t hold any secrets and techniques from Rocco. But Rocco made it to highschool with out ever figuring out that you simply didn’t give beginning to him!”
Lulu countered that the small print of her explicit state of affairs justified her remaining silent whereas she felt Brook Lynn was only a plain outdated liar. The Quartermaine heiress wasn’t standing for that.
“So, you and Dante deserve to inform your son the reality however I don’t have that very same proper in relation to Gio?” Brook Lynn marveled. “Wow. Attention-grabbing double commonplace, you hypocrite!”
Brook Lynn confirmed that Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) isn’t the one expert litigator in Port Charles when she countered that there have been some distinct variations between her actions and Lulu’s.
“It’s not like I unearthed some huge revelation that nobody knew about,” Brook Lynn famous. “I appeared right into a matter of public report, in contrast to you who dedicated a criminal offense by breaking into Martin Grey’s [Michael E. Knight] resort room and his confidential recordsdata and spewing data that you simply had no authorized proper to know.”
Regardless of what number of instances Lulu shot again that what Brook Lynn did was reprehensible and invasive, Setton maintained her character’s perspective that the conditions had been removed from the identical. Rocco would have possible realized the reality because it was solely a matter of time earlier than some blabbermouth relayed the knowledge to him. Alternatively, Gio’s origins might have remained secret without end.

“The distinction is that Gio might have and, most certainly, would have gone his whole life with out ever figuring out that he was adopted,” Brook Lynn shouted, “in contrast to Rocco, who completely would have discovered this out as a result of everybody is aware of.”
Lulu, understandably, doesn’t see issues that method. Once more, Setton performed Brook Lynn as not backing down as a result of, so far as she’s involved, Lulu was the one who began all this.
“Face it, Lulu, I didn’t harm your child,” Brook Lynn declared. “You probably did that every one by yourself by withholding the reality from him.”
Setton dropped Brook Lynn’s assertive stance when Gio appeared and needed to know what all of the yelling was about. She reminded us that Brook Lynn’s aim is to not harm Lulu or Rocco, however to discover a approach to join along with her son. Like we mentioned, payback’s a bitch – however Brook Lynn is just not!
