TVLine Items: SNL Star Visits General Hospital, Chef's Table Returns And More
A Saturday Night Live star is fulfilling a soap dream.
Comedian Sarah Sherman will guest-star in two episodes of ABC's General Hospital (airing this Thursday, Sept. 5, and Friday, Sept. 6), People reports. The GH superfan will play Ms. Finch, a spirited etiquette teacher for Rena Sofer's Lois Cerullo.
"I had the best time of my life and I couldn't believe I got to act in a scene with 'TRACY QUARTERMAINE'!" Sherman told People in a statement. "I was so nervous about flubbing my lines, because I was surrounded by pros who memorize like a billion pages of dialogue a day. Also I met 'Sonny Corinthos' so I can die happy!"
