GH: Jackie Zeman passed away

[Vee]

I'm thinking of them too. It's been hard watching them grieve many times in recent years, but this one will be especially hard.

Wow I’m in shock! I’ve always loved Jackie and her portrayal of Bobbie! May she rest in peace.

It still makes me angry how Phelps and Frons treated her.

Phelps telling her “no one wants to see old people kiss” still makes my blood boil.

God knows I was guilty of making my fair share of comments and jokes about her appearance over the years, but I always thought she had wonderful and gentle presence that carried GH though some unusual times. She was always so proud of her association with the show and to be on soaps - that was always so lovely to see. 70 is way too young, and its sad knowing we'll never get a final moment with her as Bobbie when GH eventually goes go off the air. RIP to her and condolences to her loved ones.

Oh, man.

SJB was by far her best acting partner on the show, dare I say. They were magic together.

Still a great picture:

This hurts A LOT. Bobbie was such a great character. She anchored the show in so many ways. I was not expecting this. I am really upset. RIP Jackie. GH will not be the same without you!! I hope people are a little kinder after seeing this news. We never know what battles people are facing.

Oh my god....

General Hospital hasn't aired here for years, but I vividly remember Bobbie Spencer from when I watched it when it did air here in the early 1990s. We were a few years behind so we saw the 1986-89 era, and although the story that kept me hooked was Grant Putnam and the kidnapping of Anna, Bobbie was a major presence during that period too, so she's always been one of the faces of GH for me.

R.I.P.

Wow this is such a shock. She is what made GH, well GH. It’ll be interesting to see how the show writes in her passing, because even Frank knows how vital she was to the show.

[DRW50]

At the time I felt like the show left so much unexplored with Bobbie and Carly, as well as Carly's dynamic with Virginia Benson. Sarah and Jackie were very dynamic and unique acting partners and I'll always wonder what might have been on a show with a proper headwriter.

Unbelievable. She was such a fundamental part of the show in the 1980s and 1990s. Their treatment of her, and other female vets, from 2002 on was so disgusting and disrespectful. They've been trying to make it up to Genie recently, but they never really made it up to Jackie
