As General Hospital Recasts Emma, Brooklyn Rae Silzer Sends a Heartfelt Message to Her Port Charles Family

In the wake of Braedyn Bruner’s General Hospital debut as Emma Scorpio-Drake, Brooklyn Rae Silzer took to X to say goodbye to her Port Charles loved ones and, in a way, to Patrick and Robin’s daughter, whom she’d played since she was just 5 years old.

“To my amazing General Hospital family who [has] supported me and watched me grow up over the years as Emma, I am forever grateful,” began the actress, who last made a guest appearance on the soap in 2023. “Although sad my time as Emma has come to an end, I will cherish all of my memories and friendships made.

“I am so lucky to have been cast as Emma 13 years ago,” she added, “and to have had the opportunity to grow her character over the years.”
