Gag Order Soap Opera Digest (July 29, 2003) For Elizabeth Hendrickson, taping Leora's funeral was grueling emotionally and physically. "I had really bad allergies that week," she groans. "At one point, I had to smell this flower, kiss it and place it on the coffin. Then, Vincent (Irizarry, David) walks in and has this big emotional moment. Just then, the pollen kicked in and I tried to hold back this horrible cough, but I couldn't! I was coughing to the point of gagging. I felt so bad because it was in the middle of Vincent's grand entrance...oh I felt so horrible. I had to walk off-set, go outside and get a breath of fresh air."
