General Hospital’s Brook Lynn became the moral compass nobody expected

When Maxie (Kirsten Storms) awoke from her coma on General Hospital, she had no idea how her world changed while she was gone. Even though her children, mother, and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) were there to greet her enthusiastically, Felicia (Kristina Wagner) dropped the bomb: Nathan (Ryan Paevey) was alive. While that was shocking enough, Maxie has no idea that Nathan and Lulu (Alexa Havins) are developing feelings for each other. But Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) caught on and tried to set her frenemy straight.

General Hospital’s Brook Lynn didn't hold back

Brook Lynn arrived at the front door at the perfect time, as Nathan and Lulu were faking indifference. Nathan handed Lulu a candy heart bag that read “kiss me” and told her to save it for later. Not once did she turn him down. Right away, Brook Lynn recognized it. A glance at Lulu revealed everything; no words were necessary.

After Nathan left, Brook Lynn confronted Lulu about what was happening between them. The truth came out slowly: feelings between them existed, though neither wanted to move fast. Still, Brook Lynn felt something wasn’t right, especially knowing Nathan and Maxie had been the loves of each other's lives.

After that, Brook Lynn wondered whether Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) would understand. Then the truth came from Brook Lynn — this wouldn’t remain hidden forever. Nathan was Dante’s partner and friend. When things reached a breaking point, Brook Lynn didn’t shout. Instead, her words cut sharply: chasing Nathan risked losing Maxie, plain and simple, no drama needed.

She speaks from experience, not judgment

If Nathan and Lulu act on what they’re feeling, the damage won't stay contained to just them. Maxie wakes up believing her family had stuck together during her absence, not realizing the ground already shifted beneath her. She hasn’t even had the chance to process Nathan being alive yet, let alone what he’s been doing since his return. Finding out he’s been growing closer to Lulu could turn relief into something else entirely.

Dante would be pulled into it, too. Nathan isn’t just anyone. He’s his best friend. Lulu isn’t just anyone either. She’s part of his life in a different, permanent way. That kind of betrayal doesn’t sit well. It fractures trust in multiple directions at once, and there’s no version of it that doesn’t leave someone standing alone afterward.

And then there’s everything around them. Spinelli. The kids. The fragile sense that this family somehow survived the impossible. One choice could pull the whole thing apart. Not out of cruelty, but because some lines, once crossed, don’t let you return to the version of life everyone thought they still had. (Could Nathan really be Peter August?)

General Hospital is available on ABC and Hulu.
