Braedyn Bruner began filming for General Hospital a year ago, and ABC fans saw her debut as Emma Scorpio-Drake in December 2024. Remember, she took over the role from Brooklyn Rae Silzer. This week, she celebrated her one-year anniversary year on GH, and many fans responded to the news. Read on to see how they reacted.
One Year As Emma
On November 13, several outlets, including Michael Fairman TV, congratulated Braedyn on Facebook. In their caption, the admin wrote:
That flew by so fast! Congrats! Braedyn Bruner Marks 1-Year Anniversary as ‘General Hospital’s’ Emma Scorpio-Drake.
Well, the year really did fly past, and the young actress packed in a lot in her storyline. Notably, many ABC fans think she’s done a wonderful job playing her role. After all, Emma seems to be such a rebel outwardly, but she’s a complex character who seems much softer on the inside. And, her relationship with Outback, the dog, proved that.
Fans React In The Comments
As the fictional granddaughter of Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Braedyn works so well with the older actress that she became close to her. However, it didn’t start off that way. These days, both of them are very popular with GH fans. So, plenty of comments arrived.
One of the commenters penned, “I didn’t like her at first because she was obnoxious and rude to her grandmother, but she’s become very likable!!”
Here are a few other responses from the discussion area:
- And she has made the role her own – love her and Gio!
- Yeah it did go by fast! 1 year already?! It didn’t seem that long when Emma came back to Port Charles when she got expelled and then Gio caught her stealing a man’s wallet! Congratulations Braedyn!
- Congratulations! Braedyn is doing an awesome job. I love the character’s fierce love, and loyalty to protect innocent animals.
- [She] is a good recast! Hope she stays on longer! Love her and Geo! Want to see more of her!Geo! Danny! Rocco and Charlotte! They all are great actors and actress.
Storyline & Acting Talent
Notice how many folks mentioned Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Outback? Well, she acted her role with great talent. The story of Emma and Gio on General Hospital seems interesting as they evolved beyond just being friends. Mind you, they had a strong bond from the beginning.
The duo were close as she and Gio navigated the news about the adoption. Notably, Gio, in turn, was there for Emma. ABC fans loved the way she took on shady Professor Henry Dalton and his illegal lab, and Gio helped during the scary incident when Outback went missing.
Certainly, it seems that a pretty young actress with a cute love story and a love for animals fits the bill for many fans.
