General Hospital

After 33 years with ABC, Jackie Zeman (Bobbie Spencer) has been downgraded to recurring status on General Hospital. The change became effective this month.

The move didn't come as a shock to the veteran, respected actress, as the series has been lacking a steady role for her for awhile now.

"It's been a great ride," Zeman recently said. "I've been on General Hospital for 30 years. I am so thankful and I am such a lucky girl. If there's story for me, there's story. If there's not… then there's no story. If the audience didn't want me then I wouldn't still be there [on the show.]"
