General Hospital Spoilers suggest Nurse Barbara Jean ‘Bobbie’ Spencer (Jaclyn Zeman) is on her way out after more than forty years of life in Port Charles. Her portrayer, Jackie Zeman, took her last breaths on May 10th, 2023, following a short battle with cancer. Bobbie was an integral part of the GH staff, but in more recent years, we saw less of her behind the nurses’ desk and more of her at Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) kitchen table.

One of her more recent scenes included coffee with Carly as her daughter revealed her plans to change her last name from Corinthos back to Spencer. Was that an homage to Jackie’s character of nearly half a century? How will Bobbie leave her loved ones behind?
General Hospital Spoilers — An Accident Is Most Likely
It’s unclear whether Bobbie will appear in any more scenes before her death, but it’s not likely. Most of the scenes for GH are filmed four to six weeks in advance, and Bobbie’s last air date as it stands at the time of writing this piece was April 27th, 2023.
Given that there hasn’t been any talk of her being ill since that time, it’s most probable that Bobbie’s character will be written off as having died in an accident. Something sudden and shocking will do the trick. But fans might take issue with this, despite the circumstances of Jackie’s real-life battle for her life.
Doesn’t Nurse Bobbie deserve more than the same off-screen death her brother was given? We have faith that the GH team will do this right, and we hope they gave her a say in it.

GH Spoilers – Tease the Tears Will Be Real
While her death may be portrayed as an accident or unexpected event on screen, the reality is that it’s going to be devastating for the whole cast — both in character, and outside of it.
Saying goodbye is never easy, and we can only imagine the heartache that lies ahead for those closest to her. It’s a somber reminder that life is precious and should be cherished every day.
General Hospital Spoilers — Gone Too Soon
As the show mourns the loss of one of its key players, fans are left to wonder what will happen to the character of Bobbie Spencer.

It’s clear that the show will have to forge a new path without her, and what that means for key characters like Carly, Josslyn ‘Joss’ Jacks (Eden McCoy), Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and more remains to be seen.
Carly certainly doesn’t need more drama in her life, but it sounds like some heavy grief is about to kick her while she’s down. Who will be there to wipe her tears away? For now, all we can do is send our condolences to Jackie’s family and cherish the memories she gave us through her performances. Stay tuned for more General Hospital news and spoilers just ahead.
I think Bobbie Spencer should be written off as her real life illness, and was sent away for treatment and gotten very ill during the process, and Carly went to where she had gone, and during this time is when she passes away, and they will return to Port Charles for her Memorial Service.
bobby should die in a car accident or plane leaving carly with a large amt. of money so she will not have to sell her house. Bobbie will be deeply missed she deserves a huge send off celebrating her life with all the bells and whistles !! she deserves more than one hour .

They would honor Jackie/Bobbie best by using the actor’s actual illness as has been mentioned in the comments. Bobbie leaves a huge amount of money & saves Carly from beyond the grave. Laura Wright has such an amazing acting range she could handle the grief of loss of a mother she originally tried to destroy in revenge. This catapults Carly to true forgiveness of Nina just in time for the truth to come out: Nina is responsible for Drew being in prison. Carly does revenge incredibly well.
