Jackie Zeman News

Jacklyn Zeman has appeared on over 4,000 episodes of General Hospital in the role of Bobbie Spencer.

The actress recently gave an interview to The Clarion-Ledger, during which she was asked a simple question: Tell us a tale from the show.

Here is Zeman's reply:

Kin Shriner, Scotty Baldwin on the show, has been my longtime favorite lunch buddy. He likes dinner for lunch. Everyone remembers the Luke and Laura wedding from years ago, and Kin and I had several scenes together during the shooting.

Well, what few people know is that we taped it at a gorgeous mansion in Hollywood over the span of three days, and if you watch the tape you will never see anyone eating anything during the wedding. That's because it was so hot the set designers had to spray all of that great food with bug spray so it would be preserved and look perfectly fresh.

After 33 years with ABC, Jackie Zeman (Bobbie Spencer) has been downgraded to recurring status on General Hospital. The change became effective this month.

The move didn't come as a shock to the veteran, respected actress, as the series has been lacking a steady role for her for awhile now.

"It's been a great ride," Zeman recently said. "I've been on General Hospital for 30 years. I am so thankful and I am such a lucky girl. If there's story for me, there's story. If there's not… then there's no story. If the audience didn't want me then I wouldn't still be there [on the show.]"
