According to TMZ, the app Sonya's official Twitter account is using is called Twittascope. The execs at the company that owns Twittascope reportedly told the outlet that they can't do anything to stop the tweets. In order for Sonya's account to stop posting the daily horoscopes, someone with access to her page would have to manually disable the Twittascope app in her account settings.
Sonya died on December 19 after being hospitalized with a serious infection. Her close friend, actress Octavia Spencer, announced her death in an Instagram post. "My friend @sonyaeddy passed away last night," Spencer wrote alongside a photo of her late pal, adding, "The world lost another creative angel. Her legions of @generalhospitalabc fans will miss her 💔🕊️"
'General Hospital' executive producer Frank Valentini also addressed Sonya's death in a statement released to People magazine. "I am heartbroken about the loss of the incredible Sonya Eddy," he wrote. "I truly loved her not only as an actress, but as a friend. The lights in the hub of the nurse's station will now be a little dimmer, but her spirit and light will live on in both the show and our set. On behalf of the entire GH cast and crew, we send our deepest sympathy to her family, friends, and fans. She will be very missed."
