According to The Hollywood Reporter, actress Bobbi Jordan, who had appeared for three years in the mid-1970s on “General Hospital” in the role of Terri Webber Arnett, has died. The actress died at her home in Encinitas, California on November 9 of an apparent heart attack. She was 75 years old.

In her role on “GH,” Jordan is probably best remembered for when her character crashed her car “after the wife of the man she was dating — just released from a sanitarium — tampered with her brakes. (Of course, he would operate on her to save her life.)”

A memorial service is set for 3 p.m. Dec. 9 at the Self-Realization Fellowship Temple, 939 Second St., Encinitas, CA 92024.

Port Charles said goodbye to Edward Quartermaine today. After the church service, the Quartermaine’s went to the mausoleum to lay him to rest. AJ, who wasn’t allowed to go to church because he is on house arrest, said a few touching words and promised that he would make Edward proud and then abruptly went back to the house.

At the mansion, Diane Miller, who Edward had draw up his will, read it to the family. Of course, there were interruptions by Tracy, bickering, but Alice got 5% of his shares in ELQ, Monica also received 5%. He left 50% cash to Habitat for Humanity and 50% to Public Broadcast Television. Edward also left shares of ELQ to all his grand children and great grandchildren. No one seemed to be left out, except Tracy. However, After the others went to have lunch, Diane gave her a box that Edwaed insisted she gave to her. It had a jar of pickle relish with her mother Lila’s picture on it. Tracy looked in disbelief. Is this a joke? Or is there a hidden meaning that Edward is trying to tell her. It should be interesting to find out.

At the Church, Sam, Danny, and Spinelli sat behind and talked about his situation with Maxie and Jason. Spinelli gave his opinion that Maybe Jason is not coming back after all. Sam lit a candle and promised Danny she was not ready to give up on Jason.

“Television has seen many stars, but there will only be one Larry Hagman. Larry was a larger-than-life personality, both on-screen and off — a master showman and brilliant actor who brought to life a character that transcended the medium and truly captivated a nation.  Today, we mourn the loss of a friend, but remember a man who brought true greatness to his craft and a television character in J.R. Ewing that will never be forgotten.”
