Jacklyn Zeman – General Hospital
Jacklyn Zeman was one of the longest-standing soap actresses on US television. She was the star of General Hospital until bosses decided they no longer needed her character.
She recalls: “One day I was there and then it was like, ‘Merry Christmas, you’re fired,’ and an intern came down and handed me all my stuff.
“It was like the death of [character] Bobbie in my heart and soul.”
