After President Trump was elected, I walked past a TV where a similar gal was singing “Everyday People” by Sly and the Family Stone.
I wonder if it was her. 🤔

I just read this and am very sad. As a long time viewer, and a short term employee, of GH, I really liked her character.

Instead of the General Hospital, they should have taken her to s specialty hospital.

RIP. Miss Eddy had been open about her battle with Type II diabetes (her character had it as well) and her weight (which always had me worried how long the actress might live). She was in the middle of a storyline where her nurse character was taking her MCATS to become a doctor. I don’t know if they concluded filming her scenes where she passed them.
I can’t see replacing her character after 16 years on the show. Similar with when Kristoff St. John died on “The Young And The Restless.” Too iconic to replace.

RIP Octavia, always liked her, very down to earth.
She was in Pine-Sol commercials, IIRC.

No cause of death was given but I suspect it was due to one of the following:
1. Diabetes,
2. High blood pressure,
3. Hypertension,
4. Heart attack/Stroke,
5. Choked to death on the turkey leg she tried to swallow in a single bite.
To: fieldmarshaldj
Agree. Also sad because she was starting a romance with “Marshall”.

I will only remember here as Rebecca De Morngnye on Seinfeld.

Since it is a soap opera, killing the character works from a dramatic point of view, too.

Having witnessed the “writing” for that show (wife watches religiously), she’ll likely have passed by lynching at a NASCAR event.
