General Hospital

Eight months after actress Jacklyn Zeman’s passing, GH will finally be addressing her character Bobbie Spencer’s death in scenes to air in January.  A few stars from the past are scheduled to be on hand for the memorial service, including Ryan Carnes, who played Bobbie’s son, Lucas Jones. 

Fresh off her Daytime Emmy victory for Guest Performer in a Drama Series, Alley Mills is popping onto the Port Charles scene as Heather Webber. Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl) will visit her estranged mother in prison on Friday, December 29.

Eden McCoy, whose mother passed away in November, has taken a temporary leave of absence from her role as Josslyn Jacks. Courtney Fulk has stepped in to replace her. Fulk started airing on December 18.
