Jennifer Robyn Bernard, one of the early shining stars of General Hospital, has passed away this week. Robyn is best remembered for her role as Terry Brock, a character she brought to life for nearly six memorable years during the 1980s. According to TMZ, she was found in San Jacinto, California, after police responded to a call about a death on Tuesday. Authorities confirmed her identity through fingerprint analysis. The cause of her passing remains undisclosed as the Riverside County Coroner prepares to conduct an autopsy.
Robyn’s legacy on General Hospital is significant — IMDb records show she appeared in 145 episodes from 1984 to 1990. Beyond the soap, she also took on the role of a psychologist in the 2002 production Voices from the High School.
The General Hospital family mourns deeply, echoing heartfelt sentiments about another beloved cast member, Jackie Zeman, who portrayed the iconic Bobbie Spencer. A touching tribute described Jackie as “a bright light and true professional, bringing endless positive energy to the set.” Her warmth and spirit continue to live on among the cast and crew, a sentiment shared by many.
The loss is felt keenly by Robyn’s close friends and family, especially her daughters, Cassidy and Lacey. The General Hospital community extends its deepest condolences to them.
Co-stars have also expressed their sorrow. Rick Springfield, the Australian actor and musician known for his role as Dr. Noah Drake, told People magazine he was “incredibly shocked and broken-hearted” by the news of Jackie’s passing, reflecting the profound impact she had on those who knew her.
Robyn Bernard’s contributions to daytime television and the hearts of her colleagues will not be forgotten.
