Child actress Brooke Radding played the role from 1999-2001. The character was then portrayed by actress Adrianne León starting in 2004, when her birth date was revised to 1986 .
León was nominated for two awards for the role in 2005: the Soap Opera Digest "Outstanding Female Newcomer Award", and "Outstanding Younger Actress" in the Daytime Emmy Awards.
León continued to play the character until 2006. It was announced in 2010 that León would return to the show as Brook Lynn that May. She left the series again in 2011.
On November 11, 2019, TVLine announced that the character of Brook Lynn will be recast with actress Amanda Setton. Setton is known for playing Kimberly Andrews and One Life to Live as well as other roles on Hawaii Five-0, Gossip Girl and The Mindy Project. Setton was hired by GH Executive Producer Frank Valentini, who was also her boss at One Life to Live. Valentini approached Setton and offered her the role of Brook Lynn without an audition process. Setton debuted in the role on November 18, 2019.
Many fans of León were surprised at Setton's hiring because in 2019, León had been telling fans on her social media that she would welcome a return to the show someday to play Brook Lynn. She told Soaps In Depth magazine the same thing at a fan event in August, 2019, three months before Setton's on-air debut. León has not said publicly whether Valentini invited her to come back to GH and reprise the role.
Brook Lynn Quartermaine (formerly Ashton), born in 1996 revised 1986, was named after Brooklyn, New York where her mother and father had spent many happy times together. But at the time of her birth, Brook's parents were estranged. Lois Cerullo had returned to her family in Bensonhurst after she realized she didn't want her daughter growing up around the Quartermaines. Her feelings were cemented after Ned Quartermaine failed in his attempts to make Lois and their record business his first priority.
He returned to ELQ Enterprises and Lois returned to her family. Lois brought Brook to meet Ned a few months after she was born. Although Lois claimed she hadn't come to reconcile with Ned, it was clear Lois and Ned were still in love with each other. But after she overheard him blackmailing his cousin Justus, Lois left town with her daughter.
Ned saw his daughter on birthdays and introduced her to Chloe Morgan when he was married to her. Brook adored Chloe and was none too thrilled to learn several months later that Alexis Davis had become Ned's new love. She later came to like Alexis, but couldn't understand what was happening when Alexis left her father at the altar.
The role of Brook Lynn was scripted to be born in 1988 (then SORASed to 1986.)
Through her father's marriage, she gained Olivia Falconeri (now Quartermaine) as a stepmother.
It has been noted that Brook Lynn is a lot like her grandmother, Tracy Quartermaine.
