Fans were shocked atthe death of former “General Hospital” star Robyn Bernard.
“I have an older sister that was on ‘General Hospital’ for several years.
She seemed to have kept the details of her life private after that.
Bernard, “So we all would sing in church.
“Every night we would visit the old folks' homes; visit the shut-ins, and feed people.
Crystal and Robyn enjoyed growing up while traveling around and singing with their family.
I was the perfect child,” she remarked.
But excelling at school and touring with the family took its toll.
I can accept failure and I can stand on my own two feet.”
Her attitude was possibly due to her strict upbringing.
“It was so funny.
We could play Vegas, but we couldn’t talk on the phone.”
Yes, that’s Bobbi Spencer over there but stay cool.'
Nowadays, Bobbi [the late Jackie Zeman] is one of my closest friends.
We’re spiritual partners.
Isn’t that something?”
The Laurelton storyline was one of my favorites.
She was a wonderful singer."
The murderer shockingly turned out to be her fiance, Kevin O’Connor (Kevin Bernhardt).
While her on-screen character had addiction issues, unfortunately, Bernard did as well.
“She used to drink a lot and take drugs.
I’m surprised she made it this far, to be honest with you.
Bernard’s ex-boyfriend Dan Berlin told the outlet that “this had been going on a long time.
I have happy memories of her.
But she was difficult to be around.”
He said he saw her last in 2022.
“At that point, she had just let herself go.”
Her friend Norma Teyechea also alleged that Bernard sadly drank large bottles of vodka 24/7.
She was also arrested twice for public intoxication and stealing a shopping cart in October 2018 and February 2019.
“She always had four or five of them, and I always felt so bad for her.”
Dan Berlin explained Bernard’s presence on the streets.
“She was out there, talking to herself in a nonsense way.
She was a schizophrenic,” he claimed.
However, Bernard’s sister Angelique Andrews responded to the Us Weekly post: “it wasn’t suicide …
I’m her sister …
I think her body finally gave up.”
Both were also described as loving, sweet people after their deaths.
“She was something else.
She was a sweetheart,” her friend Margot Nichols told the Daily Mail after Bernard’s death.
Still, tragedy seemed to find Bernard.
The former actor had been living in a trailer in 2015 when it tragically burned down.
During this period, she also became estranged from her family and ex-boyfriend Dan Berlin.
She was some kind of pariah really.
And it used to make me really upset.”
