Emma shared a photo of herself rocking an eye patch and revealed that she was struggling with a disease called Bell’s Palsy.  The General Hospital alum is in good spirits though and she joked, “I have a wonky smile, am in slight danger of dribbling a cup of tea and can’t close my eye.”

So. For the past week I’ve had a thing called Bell’s Palsy. I have a wonky smile, am in slight danger of dribbling a cup of tea and can’t close my eye. Not the end of the world.
