She Trusted Him — Now She’s Gone
A quiet sense of sorrow surrounds the passing of Jennifer Robyn Bernard, a former General Hospital star whose long retreat from public life has only added to the poignancy of her death.
Bernard, best remembered for her role as Terry Brock on the iconic daytime drama, was found unresponsive earlier this week at a residence in San Jacinto, California. Authorities confirmed her identity through fingerprint analysis after responding to a call reporting an unattended person. The Riverside County Coroner has not yet released an official cause of death, pending the results of a full autopsy.
From 1984 to 1990, Bernard appeared in 145 episodes of General Hospital, where her emotionally grounded performances and natural warmth earned her a lasting place in the hearts of viewers. Even decades later, fans continue to remember the sincerity she brought to the screen.
Her career extended beyond soap operas. Bernard demonstrated her range in a variety of projects, including a turn as a psychologist in the 2002 independent film Voices from the High School, highlighting her versatility as an actress.
In later years, she stepped away from Hollywood and lived a largely private life. Despite her absence from the spotlight, she remained fondly remembered by friends and longtime fans who continued to appreciate her body of work. Her death comes during a period of mourning for the General Hospital community, which recently lost Jackie Zeman, beloved for her role as Bobbie Spencer. Producers once described Zeman as “the heart of the show,” a phrase that now resonates anew as Bernard is remembered for her own quiet impact.
Jennifer Robyn Bernard’s passing marks the close of a meaningful chapter in daytime television history. Her talent, grace, and authenticity left an enduring legacy that continues to live on through her performances.
Though she spent her later years away from the cameras, her work remains — a lasting reminder that the influence of a true performer does not fade with time.
