Four-time Daytime Emmy nominee and fan favorite Jacklyn Zeman made her General Hospital debut 45 years ago in December 1977. Her character, Barbara Jean “Bobbie” Spencer, was a dedicated student nurse who had her eye on hunky law student Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner) and was anxious to put her past as a prostitute in Florida in her rearview mirror. Bobbie was determined to send Scotty’s girlfriend — teen heroine Laura Webber (Genie Francis), on probation for manslaughter — to reform school. Despite this, Zeman still made Bobbie relatable, likeable, and vulnerable. She became a nurse, found true love, became a mother, and today, she remains a presence on the canvas. Recently, TV Insider sat down with the actress for a look back at four and a half decades on Gh. You made Bobbie someone we rooted for even though fans probably wanted to throw tomatoes at you for what she was doing to Laura.
