General Hospital (GH) Spoilers: Brooklyn Rae Silzer Confirms Emma’s Sad Goodbye

General Hospital (GH) Spoilers: Brooklyn Rae Silzer Confirms Emma's Sad Goodbye

“General Hospital” (GH) spoilers about Brooklyn Rae Silzer’s (Emma Drake’s portrayer) exit were confirmed last week when we revealed the storyline of her parents leaving Port Charles. And now little Brooklyn Rae herself is speaking out about her departure from the ABC soap.

Brooklyn told Soap Opera Digest, “I am very sad about her moving but I understand that this was the best way to write out our story since Jason was leaving.”

In a recent interview of his own, Brooklyn’s on-screen dad Jason Thompson (aka Patrick Drake) said Brooklyn was one of the first people he told he was leaving GH because he knew it would affect her role on the show.

Thompson told On-Air On-Soaps’ Michael Fairman that when he told Brooklyn he was leaving, she said, “I don’t care about the work. I am just so happy for you, if this is what you want. I am just going to miss you so much. I don’t care if I don’t work. I’m not thinking about that.”

That’s pretty impressive for a child of nine. She seems to have her act together and will no doubt go on to great things – although Jason has hinted – as has showrunner Nathan Varni – that Brooklyn might be back in the future – suggesting Emma may spend summers with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).

Brooklyn told SOD, “I would really love to come back. My Grandma Anna has a huge house now and she might be lonely and need to see Emma.” Not only that, but Brooklyn still has a mini love interest in the form of Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) that is always fun to watch.

After the SORA recast of Josslyn Jacks with Eden McCoy, fans have worried this might be a new movement by GH showrunners to “age up” the younger set into their teens so they could amp up storylines.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Emma will NOT be a SORA recast. Plus, when Emma’s parents remarry on the January 7 GH episode, she’ll finally have her family back – no one wants to see it ripped away so soon – which is what it would take to keep Emma in Port Charles.

Perhaps when Brooklyn Rae is in her teens, they can beef up the role and bring her back while her on-screen parents go work with Doctors Without Borders or something – there are so many possibilities. But, for now, we want to see Emma enjoy her little family reunion.

Don’t miss a moment of GH as Patrick and Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough) say their I do’s and then the family heads out of town for sunny Berkeley, California where Patrick and Robin will have fancy new hospital jobs and Emma finally gets the two parent home she deserves.

Brooklyn Rae Silzer will be missed – she’s always been such a talent, but her scenes when Patrick told her he was breaking things off with Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) were just gut wrenching. She’s an incredible little actress that we can’t way to see again on GH or elsewhere.
