‘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.
