Denise Alexander is paying tribute to Jacklyn Zeman, a fellow cast member of General Hospital, who passed away suddenly on May 9 following a brief fight with cancer. Zeman passed away just three days after turning 70 and less than two weeks after her final episode of General Hospital, which aired on April 27.
\n\u201cOh girl, I can\u2019t stop crying because I keep hearing your voice and laughing. I have always loved and cherished your sweetness, humor, brilliance, and lovely goodness. The finest embraces, too. I will always love you. Denise,\u201d Alexander wrote in a brief letter that was first made available by Soap Hub on May 15.<\/p>\n\n\n

As Dr. Lesley Webber, Denise Alexander joined the General Hospital cast in 1973. Jacklyn Zeman didn\u2019t join the cast as Nurse Bobbie Spencer until 1977. Up until Jacklyn\u2019s untimely death on May 9, Denise and Jacklyn developed a close friendship both on and off camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all of Alexander\u2019s old cast mates honored Zeman. On May 11, a few days after the star\u2019s passing, Anthony Geary, who played Luke Spencer in the program, gave TVLine an exclusive message. For more than 40 years, Zeman\u2019s character had Geary\u2019s character as a big brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never once overheard her speak ill of any actor, crew member, or colleague. In reality, Jackie never once spoke ill of someone in front of me. I\u2019ve discovered this quality to be incredibly uncommon in a highly competitive industry where ego, feelings, and emotions are the lifeblood,\u201d Geary wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frank Valentini, a soap opera executive producer, first revealed her passing. She was \u201ca bright light and true professional that brought so much positive energy to work,\u201d he said, adding that while she would be sorely missed, her upbeat attitude will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As word of the late actor\u2019s passing spread online, condolences to Jacklyn Zeman began to pour in large numbers. Her General Hospital TV family mourned the 70-year-old with praise for her generosity and upbeat outlook, even on her worst days. For all time, her legacy will be cherished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m very happy that I got to spend so much time with this lovely woman. Jackie had the best stories to tell, a contagious spirit, and such a remarkable life. She enjoyed working on General Hospital,\u201d Laura Wright, who portrayed Carly Spencer, the character who was Zeman\u2019s daughter in the serial show, stated on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wright took over Carly\u2019s role before Tamara Braun, who played Carly, joined Tamara Braun in praising Zeman. \u201cI am at a loss for words. This hurts and disturbs me beyond words. I wish to hug you. Join us in our laughter. Tell stories. Talk real talk because that\u2019s what we did,\u201d Braun urged in her own Instagram tribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRemembering Sarah Joy Brown, the first actress to play Zeman\u2019s daughter on General Hospital, is important. Beautiful both inside and out, queen. Everyone who cared for her is saddened, I know that. My love to her girls, family, work fam, and admirers,\u201d she wrote in a Twitter tribute, attributing her success to Zeman.<\/p>\n
