Some Sad News...

Today's been a rough day TV news wise, as we've lost two familiar faces...

There is no word on how the show will deal with her death. Spectra had the honor of being the only daytime star chosen by the world famous Madame Tussaud’s to have her character displayed in their gallery of wax figures, in both Amsterdam and Las Vegas.
