And since this is a soap opera, there also will be drama galore when “a stranger’s surprise arrival unearths a shocking secret” that leads Carly and Felicia (Kristina Wagner) off on an adventure in Amsterdam, in order to take care of Bobbie’s unfinished business.

Bobbie was in Amsterdam to take care of the estate of her late brother Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) so this should be a unique and sentimental journey.

The outlet reveals that the upcoming tribute episodes “are filled with twists and feature lots of surprises that make the most of the show’s history.”

Wright told People “When we shot the memorial, the entire cast was there. And it wasn’t just for Bobbie; it was for Jackie as well … it was bittersweet. It was about Jackie and everyone was so present. … It was like we as a cast got to really say goodbye.”

When the filming was over the cast and crew stepped outside and were stunned and delighted to find a beautiful rainbow over the studio.
