Brooklyn Rae Silzer took over the role of Emma Drake on General Hospital in 2011 and it wasn’t long before she started seeing a lot of air time and involvement in various storylines happening on the canvas. Whether it was facing off against Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) or the return of Robin (Kimberly McCullough), Brooklyn was often featured in multiple episodes a month. In 2013 the writers began giving Brooklyn more lead involvement in scenes and she soon found Emma involved in a mini ‘love triangle’ and kid centred scenes. In 2016 she left the role of Emma when her on screen family moved out of town, and that same year, Brooklyn was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for her work on the soap. While her character was living on the opposite coast Brooklyn returned to the show a few episodes a year as the show found ways to write Emma back for a visit whether it be the Nurse’s Ball or a funeral. Brooklyn was last seen in 2023 for Thanksgiving before the role was recast and aged.

Career Highlights
Brooklyn got her start in the industry doing modelling work with General Hospital being her first theatrical booking. She has guest starred on multiple television shows including Criminal Minds: Beyond Boarders, Code Black, and CSI: NY, and was in Sarah Silverman’s film ete Des Pets.

Stars Say

  • “I got to work with Brooklyn for many years. That brought so much vitality to the story. Her ability is amazing. That’s a great opportunity to tell story.” – Jason Thompson, TV Insider
  • “What I remember, to be completely honest, is being so proud of Brooklyn.  That was a moment that I felt proud.  It was like a generational thing, that only soaps can do.  Finola was there for me when I was a kid, teaching me and making me feel safe, and now I was just trying to do that with Brooklyn.  It was a really cool moment.  I think it was easy for both of us to do that scene.  I think we bonded.  I am so proud of her.” – Kimberly McCullough, Michael Fairman TV
  • “I’m just melting. She’s adorable, talented and so smart.” – Teresa Castillo, Daytime Confidential
  • “I loved working with Brooklyn when she was growing up as the character, but she’s now working hard in nursing school.” – Finola Hughes, Woman’s World
  • “I made a great friend (JT), I gained a TV Daughter (the most precious soul on the planet) and got to tell an important and at times, really fun story.” – Kimberly McCullough, Blog
