Sherman’s role is a particular thrill for the comic who told the outlet, “I had the best time of my life and I couldn’t believe I got to act in a scene with ‘TRACY QUARTERMAINE’!” referencing Jane Elliot‘s character. “I was so nervous about flubbing my lines, because I was surrounded by pros who memorize like a billion pages of dialogue a day. Also, I met ‘Sonny Corinthos’ [Maurice Benard] so I can die happy!”

While Sherman is sure to bring her brand of humor to the role of Ms. Finch, fans can also look forward to her return for the upcoming season of Saturday Night Live. An SNL cast member since 2021, Sherman continues to bring laughs to audiences tuning in across the country, and she’ll surely do so with her soap debut.
