General Hospital‘s Laura Wright is paying tribute to her longtime TV mom Jacklyn Zeman, who died Wednesday on the age of 70 following a brief battle with most cancers.
“I’m struggling to wrap my head around this,” Wright lamented Thursday morning on Instagram. “I’m so grateful to have shared so many years with this beautiful woman. Jackie told the best stories, had an incredible spirit and lived such an amazing life. She loved working on GH. She adored her daughters and lit up when talking about her grandchildren. Saying she will be missed is an understatement. Thank you Jackie for sharing your heart and soul with all of us. Much love to [her daughters] Cassidy and Lacey.”
Wright joined GH as Carly Spencer, the daughter of Zeman’s Bobbie, in 2005, following within the footsteps of earlier portrayers Tamara Braun and the character’s originator, Sarah Brown. (For extra tributes to Zeman, click on right here.)
Zeman’s demise was introduced late Wednesday by GH government producer Frank Valentini, who tweeted, “On behalf of our General Hospital family, I am heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Jackie Zeman. Just like her character, the legendary Bobbie Spencer, she was a bright light and true professional that brought so much positive energy with her to work. Jackie will be greatly missed, but her positive spirit will always live on with our cast and crew. We send our heartfelt sympathy to her loved ones, friends and family, especially her daughters Cassidy and Lacey.”
