"Been at a loss for words for some days now. And to think that I'll ever have the words to describe the person you've been and the legacy that you left behind would be erroneous," Elijah Inegbedion shared on Facebook. "Long live my sister Khadiyah Lewis."
He continued, "You left behind a legacy most individuals can only dream of. Thank you for loving me the way you did and always having my back no matter what. God blessed me when he made me your baby brother, and for that I am eternally thankful. You are forever on my mind and in my heart. I love you!"

Jonathan Jackson's General Hospital Exit, Explained: ‘The Hope Was to Stay On Longer'
The end of Jonathan Jackson's latest General Hospital run came as a bit of a surprise to fans of the long-running ABC sudser, in part because the five-time Daytime Emmy winner has only been back for nine months. The brevity of his encore surprised Jackson, as well. More from TVLine Casting News: GH Brings Back Kelly Thiebaud, Love Story Adds 3 and More Samuel L. Jackson to Star in Tulsa King Spinoff NOLA King at Paramount+ Casting News: Jonathan Jackson's GH Exit, Paige Quits Summer House and More Jackson shared with TV Insider, 'No, it wasn't' his intention to leave just nine months in; rather, he and GH had made 'a real, sincere attempt… to make it work for a longer period of time. The hope was to be able to stay on longer.' In the end, what Jackson called an 'experiment' — to travel between his home in Tennessee and workplace in Los Angeles — proved not to be tenable. 'There were moments where I thought, 'I can find this balance with the family' — wife Lisa Vultaggio (ex-Hannah, GH) and their three kids, age 21, 20 and 14 — 'and time back and forth,' and then you just have to pray about it and try to do what you feel is right,' he said. 'We gave it our best shot, but we weren't able to keep it going.' 'I have to say that none of this would have happened at all if [GH executive producer] Frank [Valentini] wasn't so open and helpful to even get it this far,' Jackson noted. 'So that's definitely something I've been extremely blessed by. Valentini himself said in a statement last week, 'We were so glad Jonathan was able to reprise the role of Lucky, even if it was for a limited time. We wish him nothing but the best and the door is always open for Jonathan to return.' Jackson last airs on GH sometime this week. Setting the stage for Lucky's latest sendoff was longtime love Elizabeth's (Rebecca Herbst) turn-down of his marriage proposal in the June 5 episode, knowing that he wouldn't be content to stay put in Port Charles.

Summer Nights In The City: An Ode, With Fashion Made To Move In
It is the beginning of May, one of the first truly beautiful weeks of the year. I put on a light jacket that buttons all the way to my neck. I'm in a little red box like a fishbowl, all done up in dim lighting. An open bar. I am wearing a see-through dress that was made before the Depression—hand-stitched, short-sleeved, with little blue ribbons on the skirt. I take a sip of my wine, a cheap red blend. The party spills onto the streets. Everyone around me is smoking. This party—a party for a magazine—could be any party in New York that I have been to. What makes it special is the fact that I do not feel the urge to cross my arms due to the cold. What makes it special is that I am in love. That my hair is so long that I can wear it in two braids. That I can feel summer around the corner.

Tony Award-winning musical, "The Light in the Piazza," takes audience on emotional journey about love
The Tony Award-winning musical, "The Light in the Piazza", is now on stage at the Huntington Theater, but it may not be your typical musical, as some of the characters speak and sing in Italian. But the story about love, hope, growing up, and letting go is universal. The piece takes place in the summer of 1953, as Margaret and Clara Johnson go on vacation in Florence. Tony-nominated actor Emily Skinner portrays Margaret, with Sarah-Anne Martinez taking on the role of Clara. Skinner said, "The show is about love. The show is about romantic love and familial love and maternal love. " "In the beginning, we see how much Clara relies on her mom as not only her eyes to the outside world, her way of understanding the world around her, but also her advocate," explained Martinez. That relationship changes once Clara meets Fabrizio and falls in love. "She has a moment of independence where she says, 'Mom, this is who I am. Will you support me in this journey that I want to go on?' And so Margaret then has to have faith that her daughter is ready to grow into herself. And I think that's so beautiful. That's something that so many people go through with their own mothers or their own parents. That moment of saying, this is who I am. I'm an adult now. See me, and then we can grow together," Martinez told WBZ-TV. A full orchestra accompanies the musical While many modern musicals feature a pop score, the music here is very different. Skinner said, "The Huntington is doing something amazing. We have a full orchestra with the show. That's rare. That's rare even on Broadway nowadays. And to get to hear this big lush, the orchestrations played so gorgeously." Martinez agreed, "It's not only a beautifully orchestrated piece, but it's also emotionally challenging to perform, because it's such a vulnerable moment in her life. And I think that it's so rare to have such a romantic, lush, original score. And so this one is just, it's so special." Director Loretta Grecco's take on the piece is to look at it as a play with music that enhances the storytelling, making an impact. "Not everybody knows about this show, and so some people might come into it knowing the story, knowing they're going to go on this emotional journey, but when you don't know, it's such a beautiful surprise," says Martinzez. "And so I think some people are really taken aback by how deeply this story gets into their hearts." You can see The Light in the Piazza at the Huntington Theater in Boston through Sunday, June 15th.
