GH60DIGEST: Jacklyn Zeman: Asked abt being cast: "I was in NY playing Lana on OLTL & I got a call from Jackie Smith, who was the head of Daytime at the time. She said GH was casting for this part but they hadn't found anybody. Because of OLTL, I never auditioned for Bobbie. But she said, 'You have to meet the headwriter, Douglas Marland. He created this character.' He came to my apartment on the West Side. I thought I'd get 15 minutes with him if I was lucky. He stayed for 2½-3 hrs. & we talked & laughed & we just hit it off. He was such a joy. He was a legend. But he never said I got the part. Next thing I know, I got a call saying I'm going to California."
