The entertainment world is mourning the loss of Jennifer Robyn Bernard, best known for her role as Terry Brock on General Hospital in the 1980s. Bernard, 62, was found deceased earlier this week in San Jacinto, California. Authorities have not indicated foul play, though the exact cause of death is still under investigation.

Born in Gladewater, Texas, Bernard’s love for performing led her from school plays to a career in TV and film. She appeared in shows like Whiz Kids and The Facts of Life before landing her breakthrough role on General Hospital in 1984. Over six years and 145 episodes, her portrayal of Terry Brock resonated deeply with fans, helping define what many consider the soap’s golden era.

Though she later stepped back from the spotlight, Bernard continued acting into the 2000s and was part of a family tied to entertainment—her sister, Crystal Bernard, also found success on hit shows like Wings and Happy Days.

Fans and colleagues have taken to social media to share memories and tributes, many recalling her warmth and talent. For those who grew up watching daytime television, Bernard’s work wasn’t just entertainment—it was part of daily life.

Her passing comes during a difficult time for the General Hospital community, following the loss of fellow actress Jacklyn Zeman last year. Still, Bernard’s legacy endures in the stories she brought to life, the emotions she evoked, and the generations of viewers she touched.

Jennifer Robyn Bernard may not have been a household name everywhere, but to her fans, she was unforgettable.
