‘General Hospital’ News: Emma Samms, Robert’s Ex-Holly, Shocking Medical Diagnosis
Breaking General Hospital news is about GH alumnus Emma Samms, who played Holly Sutton – the ex of Robert Scorpio. Gorgeous Brit Emma shared a strange image on Twitter this morning. So, it included the stunning announcement that she’s suffering from Bell’s Palsy. She’s wearing an eye patch in the pic. And she says she’s dribbling, can’t close her eye and her smile is “wonky”. In many cases, Bell’s Palsy is a temporary condition. But what caused it is more of a concern for the General Hospital alumni.
GH Actress Sticken With Illness
Bell’s Palsy causes temporary paralysis and weakness of face muscles. One side of your face can droop. Almost like after a stroke, with this condition. It can be caused by a virus or bacterial infection and some serious diseases. Now, Emma Samms said it’s “not the end of the world”. So, whatever caused it must not be too serious. The General Hospital actress joked that she was styling with her eyepatch.
So. For the past week I’ve had a thing called Bell’s Palsy. I have a wonky smile, am in slight danger of dribbling a cup of tea and can’t close my eye. Not the end of the world.
