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.

While Days of our Lives’ Marlena (Deidre Hall), Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Kate (Lauren Koslow) have been hovering somewhere between heaven and hell and meeting up with all kinds of former residents of Salem, including, most recently, Devil Doug (Bill Hayes) and Nick Fallon (Blake Berris), there may be a major shift and some revealing intel in this week’s promo for the Peacock streaming soap opera.

In the preview for the action on DAYS, Marlena is heard saying “If this isn’t earth, then how can we be alive?” Cut to: Marlena, Kayla and Kate laying side by side of each other inside a scientist laboratory (calling Dr. Rolf?) in what looks like cryogenic chambers or long see-through tubes.

The begs the question, since the trios departure from the living in Salem, have they been secretly, or knowingly been brought to Dr. Rolf’s in an effort to bring them back to life? As we know on DAYS, most everybody is never really ‘dead-dead’.

While it seems for the past month or so, the women have been in some part of the after-life, hell in disguise, or whatever you would like to call it, will this week’s episodes be the defining moment in this story arc?

Watch the preview below.

Now, let us know, what do you think will happen with Marlena, Kayla, and Kate next? Share your theories below.

As DAYS viewers know, Christmastime in Salem is soaked in tradition, but this year in a jingle performed by The Days Players band featuring Eric Martsolf (Brady), Carson Boatman (J0hnny), Wally Kurth (Justin) and Brandon Barash (Stefan), the annual holiday episode teaser perks itself even more.

In the promo, Eli (Lamon Archey) and Will (Chandler Massey) return home to Salem for the holidays. Meanwhile, from the looks on their faces, the wedding of Li (Remington Hoffman) and Gabi (Camila Banus) looks like it’s about to go bust!

However, it’s the ending of the promo featuring the late John Aniston (ex-Victor Kiriakis), where the ‘Days Players’ croon, “Don’t miss a tribute to Uncle Vic” which had been previously announced to stream on the December 26th episode.

Now, check out the Days of our Lives holiday teaser below following our recent interview with Carson, Eric, Brandon and Wally from Day of Days 2022.
