Bobbie Spencer’s portrayer Jackie Zeman sat down with Michael Fairman Soaps to discuss her final scenes with the legendary Anthony Geary. Luke and Bobbie’s goodbye scenes meant as much to Jackie as they did to GH fans watching at home and she dished to Michael Fairman:

“I was very pleased when I read the scripts, because you could tell that they just took time with them. They were so beautifully written. They gave it a throughline throughout the show that it gave substance that we spent enough time together as brother and sister, and that it wasn’t a two-minute scene shoved in and done, and moving on. There was some depth and sentimentality put into it, because when you stop to think about saying goodbye to someone in real life that you are so attached to, and so emotionally committed to, and has given such allegiance to with your heart, soul and body to for so many years, that deserves a few minutes of goodbye.”

“General Hospital” spoilers also recently confirmed that headwriter Ron Carlivati was fired from the ABC soap, and Shelly Altman and Jean Passanante will be taking over the regime as of August 10. Jackie Zeman also discussed the change in the writing department with Michael Fairman and where she thinks the soap opera will go from here – and she even hinted that Anthony Geary could be coming back later on for a brief visit or cameo!

Zeman dished, “It’s a big challenge for our new writers that are coming in to say, “OK, what do we do?” There is this hole in the show where the Luke character was for so many years, and because so many of us have been attached to the Luke character. I am sure they are thinking, “What do we do with them?” But you never say, never. Luke and Tony could always come back!”
