The entertainment world is mourning the loss of General Hospital actress Jennifer Robyn Bernard, who was found dead this week in San Jacinto, California. Known for her role as Terry Brock, Bernard appeared in 145 episodes of the beloved soap opera from 1984 to 1990, becoming a familiar face to daytime television audiences during the 1980s.

Authorities confirmed that Bernard was identified using fingerprint records after police responded to a death report on Tuesday. An autopsy by the Riverside County Coroner was scheduled for Wednesday, but as of now, her cause of death remains undisclosed. She was reportedly 64 years old at the time of her passing.

Beyond General Hospital, Bernard also appeared in the 2002 drama Voices from the High School, where she portrayed a psychologist. Though her on-screen roles became less frequent over the years, she remained a cherished figure among fans of the long-running soap.

The tragic news of Bernard’s death comes not long after the loss of another General Hospital legend, Jacklyn “Jackie” Zeman, who played Bobbie Spencer. In a touching statement, the GH team shared: “She brought a lot of positive energy to work and was a true professional, just like her character… Our cast and crew will always remember Jackie’s positive attitude, even though we will miss her terribly.”

Rick Springfield, musician and actor who played Dr. Noah Drake on the series, also paid tribute to Zeman and expressed his grief, calling her passing both shocking and heartbreaking. While Springfield’s comments were initially aimed at Zeman’s death, the recent news of Bernard’s passing adds to the somber mood surrounding the General Hospital family.

Jennifer Robyn Bernard is remembered not only for her memorable TV roles but also for her grace and professionalism. She leaves behind many loved ones, friends, and longtime fans who cherished her work. Her passing marks the end of an era for a generation of soap opera viewers who grew up watching her on screen
