“At a loss for words,” former General Hospital cast member Steve Burton shared on Instagram Dec. 20. “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.”

Steve when on to share that his co-star always made him laugh “and she would never let me pass without a big hug.”

“Sonya, (I hate using was) is an incredible LIGHT,” he continued. “She touched so many with her talent and just who she is. She will be missed.”
