Because of the writers’ strike, the show didn’t actually address Bobbi’s death until earlier this year. Even though a little bit of time had passed, saying goodbye was not easy for the cast.
The soap filmed episodes which aired earlier this year in which Bobbie died and the cast said goodbye. But it was extremely difficult for the cast because they weren’t just saying goodbye to Bobbie, but Zeman too.
Wright said that the tears shed during filming Bobbie’s memorial service were real and lasted four days.

When interviewed by Soap Opera Digest, Wright said that she felt that Zeman was with them during filming because after filming of the memorial was completed, there was a bright rainbow in the sky.
Many of the actors didn’t have much time to really decompress because they had to be back filming the following day.
The show decided to honor both Zeman and Bobbie by renaming Kelly’s Diner to Bobbie’s. Wright joined the cast of General Hospital which means she worked with Zeman the whole time, except during the three years Bobbie was off canvas from 2010 – 2013.
