GH EP Frank Valentini On Taping the Sonya Eddy Tribute Episode: “It Was an Extraordinary Script, and It Was a Labor of Love That Day”
This week on General Hospital, the ABC daytime dramas series kicks off its 60th anniversary set of episodes, with what is sure to be the most emotional – the tribute episode for the late Sonya Eddy in honor of her beloved GH character, Epiphany Johnson.
GH’s executive producer spoke with Soap Opera Digest (in their latest issue on newsstands now), about how the show decided to handle the delicate subject of a real-life cast member’s passing and connect it to the story on the canvas of the soap opera.
In conjunction with GH co-head writers, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor, the trio decided that if they weren’t ever going to be able to see Sonya as Epiphany again, that there was no way they were going to ever recast the role. Valentini shared: “We decided it was important to honor not only Sonya, but Epiphany and we wanted to dedicate a full entire episode all about that.”
The EP went on to give praise to his writers, and the cast for their performances when taping the episode: “I think everyone was touched by what the writer’s wrote. It was an extraordinary script and it was a labor of love that day in honor of Sonya, who was so incredibly loved by everybody in the cast and crew.
The way the death of Epiphany is structured on the airshows is key also to the upcoming Nurses’ Ball episodes set to air the following week. Frank expressed: “Epiphany is a very pivotal person in the Nurses’ Ball, so it’s almost like a part two (of her tribute).
The Sonya Eddy tribute episode airs Wednesday March 29th.
Are you looking forward to seeing how GH honors Sonya and the beloved Epiphany of GH? Comment below.

That was fun. Wonder how long it took GH to film the entire nurses ball?
I loved the Ball..
It was good fun time!!
I really enjoyed the actors showing their musical abilities/singing/dancing!!
I really appreciate all the time and effort rehearsing and sets etc to bring us a good time!
I am looking forward to next year’s Ball ..
Thanks to ALL for giving me a fun time!!!! 🙂
Sometimes what goes on behind the scenes is more interesting than what goes on in front of the camera…i thought this years Gong Show…oops, i meant nurses ball was harmless entertaining fun…most of it…lol
It’s nice to see the actors practicing for the Nurse’s Ball scenes.I’m sure they had fun in the scenes.
the ball was not the same . all the other years were great. i all ways watch the ball. please bring back sabrena and patrick they are soo great togeather.
Kristin Alderson did a great job in her number. The number with Maxie and Lulu not so good. Overall though, The Nurse’s Ball is always fun to watch.
What an awesome article to go along with, yet again, an AWESOME NURSE’S BALL! LOVED IT! Always hate for it to end! So much fun! Look forward to it every year. I wondered how they could top last year but they did it!! BRAVO!!!
I enjoyed DR O cabaret, and the Haunted Starlets. It was nice seeing the actual characters on stage. I didn’t care that they were perfect, but isn’t that what the ball was. Characters singing and dancing for money. For the people with HIV /AIDs. They did the strip last year, so who cares Loved when when Lucy always ended up in her underwear. I guess I missed some of it .Judging from this . I did DVR it, and can watch .Why do TPTB think changing something the fans loved and looked forward to is the way to go ?… Read more »
not many mentioned TJ’s and Molly’s scene. I thought they were great…felt their bond. I actually think if by some miracle the show goes on for years to come…that they could become a super couple.
Anyone know who is the gal with the big hair to the right of Liesl in the caberet end? I thought she looked familiar, and couldn’t place her. Is she just an extra or is she a hospital staffer?
I hope they have more behind the scenes, or deleted scenes (or bloopers) to show us.
How fun! Thanks for sharing!
