Share your thoughts on the sentiments shared by Jackie’s friends and co-stars, as we continue to grieve the loss of this beloved member of the GH family below.
I can’t even imagine how shocking this must be for all of her colleagues past and present. Such a loss. When I was a kid and would watch GH, I always loved Bobbie’s interactions with Luke. Bobbie’s smile and giggle were infectious. GH has their work cut out for them now as they will hopefully structure an epic tribute for her.
“Bobbie” seemed forever, as did Ms. Zeman. I recall her as Lana McClain on OLTL, first, and actually doing double-duty as Lana and Bobbie overlapping in their last and first runs, respectively. A force of nature, there was nothing like the down-to-earth yet “sparkly sunshine” of Jackie Zeman, she brought a true east coast vibe to the proceedings, we cared and rooted for her and all those she rooted for, for decades. Yes, her energy is eternal.
Omgosh that era of the early 80s with Rick Springfield and Demi Moore and Jackie in the middle of it all. She was the best I am so shocked by this!
Was so sad to hear of Jackie’s passing as the news broke last night. Have watched her work for years and she will be remembered forever. My sincerest condolences to Jackie’s family, friends and fans. Rest peacefully
My heart is heavy. Jackie Z was truly one of my favorites. In my head she was my auntie with the fire RED hair. General Hospital has been a trusted friend to me. My late mother and I spent so many days talking about Bobbie and Scottie, and Luke and Laura. They were my introduction to what has now been a 40 year passion . I will miss seeing Bobbie ( Jackie Z) and that beautiful face and awesome red hair. RIP auntie Bobbie!!!!
Love Always
Your Niece

This is the saddest news ever i just couldn’t beleive what I read!!!!!!!!!! I felt soooo upset all night long since i read about Jackie. She was not just beautiful, but i felt like I knew her, cause I grew up watching Gen. Hosp. i still cannot beleive it! Rest in Peace
When I saw her name headlining the google names I had thought maybe she was leaving and when I read further and saw she passed away I couldn’t believe it, I was in total shock. I have watched General Hospital for years (my mom got me hooked when was a little girl). I saw her first appearance and l became drawn to her character as well as Luke, Laura and Scotty. I will forever miss the sound of her voice and cute laugh and the smile that light up every room. Go fly high with the angel Jackie Zeman you have absolutely earned your wings. My condolences to her daughters, granddaughters and every life she had touched.
I’ve been watching Jackie since she played Lana on OLTL in the 70’s. I’m in shock and heartbroken. God bless her family. Many heart felt condolences
The passing of Jacqie Zeman has got to be a horrible blow to not only the GH family, but the many fans across the country. My earliest memory of her was a conversation she was having with Aunt Ruby I don’t remember it but she was amazing, and the last memory was at the wedding of Micheal and Willow. My condolences to her work family, her daughters, friends and fans.
So sad to hear the news of jackie’ passing. What an icon! I feel like a part of my childhood is gone out as I remember her character of Bobbi was one of my favorites. May she rest in peace.
Such a loss. I remember my sister forcing me to watch as a kid.. during the Damian Smith affair.. I’ve been a fan since. Her mannerisms and voice were so distinct. A true original. Rest with God. Condolences to her family and friends.
Devastating news.
She led with kindness and compassion.
Everyone seems so shocked by this I was so shocked I can’t believe it
I am in shock! I started watching GH in the 60’s it was only a half an hour then, I would come home for lunch & watch it! This is the saddest news. My heart is broken for her girls & the rest of her family!
RIP Lovely lady
I am lost for words. I am glad to have seen her during Michael and Willow’s wedding just over a week ago. I have been watching General Hospital since the early 70’s and her character has been awesome. I send prayers to her family and GH. RIP.
I remember watching her on ONE Life to Live in 1976 – Nov 1977. I wrote to her in late 1976 and got a nice handwritten letter at the time. May not be the first fan letter but it was an early ones. I recorded OLTL on AUDIO-Cassette from July 1977 through early 79 and uploaded them to Youtube. I was sad when they Killed Lana off in Nov 17/18 Episodes 1977, but was Happy when in early Dec 1977 she walked out of the elevator as Bobbie Spencer Michael have you found any of the One Life to Live cast members like Jameson Parker or Erika Slezak etc reactions
She had such a bright light about her that you knew when watching her it was authentic and genuine. It’s as if she didn’t have to rehearse to play the character. It takes immense talent to wear and become your character but she did just that. I loved her sense of fashion. Seems as if she could have lived another 20 or so years and still would have been on the set because she brought that much energy to her work.
I feel like I’ve lost a part of my family. She was a force! My condolences to her family and friends for this huge loss. RIP Jackie Zeman. You will be missed.
Watching general hospital since day one she was my favorite RIP
This wonderful woman put it all on screen. We were spoiled to witness such genius. Rest well, JZ.
Oh my I love Jackie an amazing the Best Beautiful actress been watching Gh with nurse B for many years Nurse Bobby you are missed. God Blessing Peace love & syrength to her family as she rest in God’s Arms

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Ava Tie the Knot With Drew?

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!
Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.
Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?
At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.
Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.
Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?
Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.
Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.
You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.
Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Fears Escalating Tensions Between Sonny and Josslyn: ‘I’ve Already Lost One Kid Because of That Man. I Won’t Lose Another’

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”
Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR
Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.
Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.
Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.
At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.
WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?
Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.
Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.
So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
