Zeman's Happy Time

Apparently there is life after death on General Hospital. A Martinez's character, Roy DiLucca, died 20 years ago, but he's returned from the grave to woo Bobbie Spencer. Actress Jacklyn Zeman insists that her co-star isn't simply reprising another actor's role because "he's made it so his own. I don't think anybody feels that. "He came back as Roy, who was Bobbie's first love, her only real love, the man she subsequently went on and compared every man she'd ever been with to, and everyone always came up short," she says. For Zeman, working with the Santa Barbara veteran makes her job easier. "You know the man speaks for himself; he's talented, he's handsome, he's wonderful. And he's a really nice person. So it's a pleasure to be with him." After years of chasing emotionally unavailable men, Bobbie has finally found love. "I'm having the time of my life with this story line; I really am!"

Apparently there is life after death on General Hospital. A Martinez's character, Roy DiLucca, died 20 years ago, but he's returned from the grave to woo Bobbie Spencer. Actress Jacklyn Zeman insists that her co-star isn't simply reprising another actor's role because "he's made it so his own. I don't think anybody feels that.

"He came back as Roy, who was Bobbie's first love, her only real love, the man she subsequently went on and compared every man she'd ever been with to, and everyone always came up short," she says. For Zeman, working with the Santa Barbara veteran makes her job easier. "You know the man speaks for himself; he's talented, he's handsome, he's wonderful. And he's a really nice person. So it's a pleasure to be with him."

After years of chasing emotionally unavailable men, Bobbie has finally found love. "I'm having the time of my life with this story line; I really am!" Zeman tells the TV Guide Channel. "Because women are coming up to me and saying, 'If it could happen to you, it could happen to me!' I love to watch the scenes because I love to feel there is a possibility of romance. You can have a second chance when a marriage doesn't work out. I think we've done a really good job, the writers have done a real good job of making it realistic. It's not so easy."

Zeman wasn't asked to perform at GH's Nurses Ball, but she's looking forward to getting glamorous with her castmates. "The Nurses Ball has become a tradition because the audience loves it. We call it the Emmy show, because it's the show where the hairdressers and the makeup people and the wardrobe people get to show their best work. Everybody really looks beautiful. And we sit at the tables and we all catch up with what's going on in our lives. So it's like being at a real-life party ? for 14 hours!"
