From the University of California Davis, Sonya graduated. Despite beginning as a psychology student, she also pursued studies in dance and theatre. In the aforementioned interview, she talked candidly about her decision to switch to acting.

An oral presentation was required in a course I took on the history of black theatre. She said how one of her professors “took me aside and told me that with a voice like mine, I should be on stage,” adding that the conversation with the professor motivated her to perform on stage and launched her career in acting career.

Sonya Eddy career

Sonya Eddy, a native of Concord, California, graduated from UC Davis. During her intense studies she began her acting career.

Eddy made her acting debut in the 1990 production of Zora Is My Name by Ruby Dee. Other theatrical credits included Bloody Mary in South Pacific, The Comedy of Errors, and The Witch in Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods.

She relocated to Los Angeles and made appearances in sitcoms including Home Improvement, Murphy Brown, The Drew Carey Show, Married… with Children, and The Drew Carey Show. She was a recurrent character on Joan of Arcadia from 2004 to 2005. Eddy started regularly portraying Epiphany Johnson on General Hospital in 2006. She was a regular cast member on General Hospital: Night Shift from 2007 to 2008. She played Tammy in the truTV comedy series, Those Who Can’t, from 2016 to 2019.

Previously, Shared Loss of Dear Friend

Along with numerous photos, Eddy’s message was filled with heartache, reflection, appreciation and some advice for all of us. “One of my dearest friends has moved through the veil. For me, it was unexpected. The last time I spoke with him, I didn’t even consider that it was the last time. For this man was full of life, light, and love. Yet, I still made sure to tell him that I loved him. That he was gonna beat this. Unfortunately I was incorrect. COVID-19 took my friend’s life. It was decidedly quick. That’s the thing with this virus. It happens so fast, in a moment, it steals you away.”

Jon Lindstrom said,

Her smile could power a reactor. I loved the few times we worked together, but I REALLY loved the times we would talk about life, meditation, acting. She was a gift & she is missed already. Condolences to her loved ones.

J Says Online tweeted,

When I met Sonya Eddy at #GHFCW,I told her I felt I must have everything together by a certain age.She gave me a side-eye & wise spiel abt pressuring myself & being a perfectionist. My autograph read “Life is easier than you think.” She was warm, sassy, & seemed full of life. #GH

Myra Hargis said,

There is no way to replace her because she made the character of Epiphany Johnson real to us. There had better be a memorial show devoted to her. Trying to put another actress in the role will not work. She touched every character on @GeneralHospital! RIP

Jennifer Picetti said,

No one and I do mean, NO ONE could play “Nurse Johnson” (soon to be “Dr. Johnson”) the way @sonyaeddy did. We #GH fans will TRULY, TRULY miss her. This is just devastating news. Sending her family and friends as well as my fellow fans, my light, love, prayers and positive energy. May she rest in peace and fly with the angels.
