General Hospital Spoilers: Meet The New Emma Drake – Braedyn Bruner Set to Join Cast This Week
General Hospital (GH) spoilers hint that a new face is about to hit Port Charles, bringing an old and familiar character back to storylines.
According to TV Insider, actress Braedyn Bruner is set to debut as Emma Drake on Monday, December 23 and it looks like she’s here for the holidays and beyond.
GH fans may recall Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) talking about a special surprise during the Friday, December 20 show as the Scorpio family gathered at Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) for Christmas Eve.
The preview video for the week of December 20-27 reveals Anna heading to the door as she’s ready to unveil her ‘surprise’, and it looks like everyone will be stunned (in the best possible way) to find out that Emma is back in the little town.
Bruner will be taking the role on from Brooklyn Rae Silzer, who entered the GH scene in 2011 and exited in 2018.
While fans have seen Robin Scorpio-Drake (Kimberly McCullough) and Patrick Drake’s (Jason Thompson) daughter return here and there since her departure for short stints, it seems as if Emma will play a larger role on the canvas, moving forward.
Bruner, who is 24, has been acting since the age of five when she participated in a commercial, and is a newcomer to the land of daytime drama.
She’s been taking acting classes since she was a child but began devoting all her time to her craft at the age of 17.
After she moved to the West Coast in 2023, she has since dabbled in some movie projects. Still, this GH role seems to offer a nice breakthrough for her career.
Bruner talked in depth about the bond she formed with Finola Hughes (Anna) during her TV Insider interview, and it seems that she’s also connected with other castmates, including Eden McCoy (Josslyn Jacks), Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), as well as Gio Mazza (Gio Palmieri).
Could Emma have been brought in as a possible love interest for Gio? With Trina far more preoccupied with Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) lately, this could be a possibility.
General Hospital spoilers suggest that with Emma’s return, there should be a shake-up in Port Charles University scene, so will she offer up some good times for the current crew or create massive drama?
Only time will tell.
