He further explained that Bridget was a loving friend who inspired him.
“She may be gone,” he continued, “but always present.
All my love to Jerry and Mary Dobson.”
In 2000, she toldSoap Opera Weeklythat she started “By begging my way into writing ‘General Hospital.’
Much like a real soap, she threatened to leave until they acquiesced to her demands.
Eventually, she wanted to move away from the genre.
That’s basically when they had to give us ‘Santa Barbara.'”
However, it wasn’t all roses as the couple hit stumbling blocks twice.
“Santa Barbara” eventually found its way, winning 24 Daytime Emmys over the course of its run.
Dobson will be sadly missed by the entire soap opera world.
