Anthony Geary’s Tribute To Jacklyn Zeman
The CBS hit soap opera General Hospital has always given a memorable farewell to its beloved stars. We cannot forget the heartwarming tribute they paid to the character of Sonya Eddy, Epiphany. Now, as we mourn the loss of the beloved actress, fans are wondering how GH will address her character’s absence on the show. Presumably, the writers will find a way to pay tribute to Zeman’s remarkable legacy and honor her contribution to the show’s success. How will they say goodbye to the iconic character of Bobbie Spencer? Only time will tell.
Jacklyn Zeman made her daytime debut on One Life to Live in 1976. She was later offered roles on both Ryan’s Hope and General Hospital. But she opted for the latter soap because it paid better. During her 45-year run as Port Charles’ hooker-turned-nurse, Zeman received four Daytime Emmy nominations. On-screen brother Anthony Geary (ex-Luke) fondly remembers Zeman as a rare gem in the highly competitive industry of show business. He told TVLine that he never heard her say an unkind word about anyone, even during the most challenging times. As the soap world mourns Zeman’s death, we can only hope to see more of her colleagues sharing their precious memories of the legendary actress.
