Granted it doesn’t make much sense given what we’ve seen unfold onscreen and have been told lo these many years, but General Hospital insists that you accept that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) are parents to strapping violin virtuoso Gio (Giovanni Mazza) — and despite the leaps in logic, Setton is enjoying every minute of the twist.

Amanda Setton On Brook Lynn’s Baby Boy

“I’m really into this storyline,” enthused the actress to Soap Opera Digest. “I think it has the makings of an incredible web. It touches so many people, so many characters on the canvas. It’s Brook Lynn and Chase; it’s Brook Lynn’s mom [Lois]. It’s Ned, Tracy, Olivia, Sonny, obviously Dante, Lulu, Dante and Lulu’s kid [Rocco] — it just has such a far reach. I just think it’s a brilliant story point to bring out, and makes for a lot of drama.”

As for those pesky little things like established timelines, backstory, and onscreen unfolding, Setton rightfully offered: “I think in Port Charles, there’s always a tad of a suspension of disbelief. There has to be just a tad.”

On costar Dominic Zamprogna: “I adore Dom, and I deeply respect him as an actor. I just find that he’s always so grounded and so rooted and so subtle, which is also really fun to play against. We’re definitely enjoying our scenes and seeing how, as I mentioned earlier, this storyline touches so many aspects of the canvas and so many characters.

“I know that the Dante and Brook Lynn stuff is just beginning. I can feel it, you know?”

And on the guilt that’s gnawing at her secret keeping alter-ego: “I think that now that the box has sort of been broken open for her, she can’t put it away. She doesn’t know how to tell Chase. She doesn’t want to tell Dante.

“She believes that all of this is so far in the past and really has no hand in her current life, but as the pieces sort of unfold for herself, logistically, with trying to have a baby and then emotionally with Chase’s difficulty processing his inability to have a baby with her, or with anyone, for that matter…. It’s just hammering away at her and it’s eating her alive and you guys will see that unfold.”
