Sophia Scorziello editor Nneka Garland, an Emmy-winning producer on “General Hospital,” died Monday in Burbank. She was 49. She had suffered a heart attack at her home in Sherman Oaks, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Garland joined the ABC soap opera in 2001 as an executive assistant and spent the last 22 years working on the show. In 2021, she became a producer of “General Hospital” and shared a Daytime Emmy win for outstanding drama series.

Her absence will leave a hole in our lives — one that can only be filled by reflecting on all the wonderful memories that we’ve shared with her.” The producer was born in Jersey City, N.J. on April 11, 1973 and was half-siblings with late rapper Tupac Shakur. She attended Hampton University in Virginia and graduated in 1995 with a degree in mass media. Garland is survived by her father, William; her brothers Landon and Malik; and her
