A soundstage would be illuminated by her smile. A reactor may be run by her spirit.
“I loved the few times we worked together, but I REALLY loved the moments we’d talk in the hallway or on the GH Nurses Hub set,” recalled Lindstrom. about performing, life, and meditation. God, what a gift from a person. She is already missed.
I’m sending her family my sincere sympathies. Kelly Thiebaud (Britt Westbourne) from General Hospital added a comment, as did Parry Shen (Brad Cooper). And the actress Epiphany Johnson should expect more heartfelt tributes in the future.
General Hospital Won’t be the Same without Epiphany Johnson or Sonya Eddy
Nurse Epiphany Johnson currently has a fantastic narrative going on GH. Her goal is to fulfill her lifelong ambition of becoming a doctor. A new love interest for Epiphany was Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett). It’s a shame that her story must come to an end because it is endearing.
On GH, Epiphany will be much missed. Without Sonya Eddy as the vivacious Epiphany Johnson, the ABC daytime drama won’t be quite the same, and she will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and loved ones.
