LOS ANGELES — Two “General Hospital” actors have won supporting honors at the Daytime Emmy Awards.
The late Sonya Eddy won Friday night for her role as no-nonsense head nurse Epiphany Johnson on the venerable ABC show. She died last December at the age of 55 from an infection following surgery.
Robert Gossett, who plays Marshall Ashford, claimed the supporting actor trophy. Last year he also won in the guest artist category for the same role.
The 50th annual ceremony honoring talk shows and soap operas is the first major awards ceremony since the end of the Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes. It was postponed from the planned date in June.
To celebrate the golden anniversary of the awards, the previous winner of a category was paired with a long-ago winner as presenters. Attendees sat at tables spread out in a ballroom at the Westin Bonaventure hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
