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.

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.

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

    • Many thanks to @skylark and @DRW50!
    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks 
    • I genuinely thought when they said she had been throwing up, we were going to get a pregnancy story. I’m actually not convinced we aren’t. Especially the way she and Doug danced around her own infidelity.
    • Shouldn't it be the other way? I don't think Taylor Hayes is playing Rebecca Budig.

    • And the most detailed discussion I've seen from an industry figure about some of JFP's worst choices as a producer (steamrolling over writers) was from another woman, Megan McTavish.
    • IMDb is definitely incorrect, because the final week of episodes in 1974 is uploaded to Youtube in audio form, and Mark and Laurie are there until the very end. The last episode shows Mark going back to the priesthood. I looked at the newspaper and the earliest reference to their house being haunted by Georgina is in December of 1973. This is dated Dec 14, but this same synopsis ran in the papers until the end of December in other publications. So it must have been within those last 3-4 months. I think Stephanie Braxton joined around 1969-1970 so that's probably right. I saw it stated in other newspapers that David Gale joined around September 1972.

    • Opal having siblings could add to the story. However, it raises questions about Tad's adoption. Why were the Martins allowed to adopt him if Tad had aunts or uncles who could have cared for him?  Logic limited the number of possible Gardner's (and whatever Opal's maiden name was).  Even though Linda Thorson would have been a hysterical choice given her British accent.  Especially because SOD often published questions by readers who wondered why Tad and Jenny didn't speak like their mother.   All of which is still not an excuse for Tad's evil doppelgänger Ted. 
    • And if I remember correctly, at one point, they were considering having Linda Thorson play Opal's sister.
    • Interesting. Makes me wonder how the day to day looked for Secret Storm at this point in the run. This seems very to deal with the psychological aspect, I guess the "inner storm", and the music is almost sinister. If this is from 1974 there's not much room for dates it could've been from as it ended on February 8th.  It's hard to tell from an edit featuring just one storyline, but if this was the day to day it might've been heavy for the casual viewers.   ETA: Stephanie Braxton is credited to have appeared as Laurie from 1970-1973. David Gale is credited only in 1973 and Alexander Scourby from 1972-1973. I know IMDB isn't always right, but I'd say this is likely 1973 - I'm guessing all these characters exited before 1974 and this might be a part of their final storyline.
