Sonya Eddy (Epiphany, General Hospital) was a bright light to the daytime soap opera community. Her energy was one, almost unmatchable and her presence onscreen was one we and many will never forget. Many, including her former General Hospital co-star, Steve Burton (ex-Jason Morgan). In a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, the actor wrote, “At a loss for words. Devastated.💔 @sonyaeddy is one of the greatest. We worked together for a long time 🙂 and we had so much fun. I cherished our on-screen relationship but our off-screen relationship much more. Kindred spirits. There was not a time we did not laugh. Sonya always made me laugh and she would never let me pass without a big hug..Sonya, (I hate using was) is an incredible LIGHT. She touched so many with her talent and just who she is. She will be missed. Prayers and love to her family. 🙏🏻 Fly to the Angels, Sonya. I know the Good Lord has you. Love you.”
