Following the passing of Jacklyn Zeman, tributes poured in honoring both the woman and the character she portrayed so memorably. In a heartfelt statement, the show described her as “a bright light and true professional,” noting that, much like her iconic character Bobbie Spencer, she brought warmth and positive energy to the set each day.
Zeman is survived by her daughters, Cassidy and Lacey, along with many friends and colleagues who cherished her.
