General Hospital spoilers: Setton Justifies BL’s Past
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, the General Hospital actress first reacted to the baby drama with Dante Falconeri. And boy, was she hooked on the storyline because it affects so many characters. These include BLQ, Chase, Lois, Ned, Tracy, Olivia, Sonny, Dante, Lulu, and even Rocco.
“I just think it’s a brilliant story point to bring out, and it makes for a lot of drama,” Amanda shared. Meanwhile, some fans are puzzled over this out-of-the-blue backstory, considering what has been established in Port Charles. Well, Setton gets it, but Port Charles has a knack for bending timelines and rewriting history when needed.
The actress admitted, “I do think there is a tad of a suspension of disbelief [required].” But then she thinks Brook Lynn and Dante were closer in age than people originally thought. Amanda is like, “Is it that big of an age difference?” According to her, Brook Lynn’s past makes so much sense, considering her attachment to Bailey. After all, she was pretending Maxie’s daughter was her own.
