"General Hospital" fans went on to watch Bobbie Spencer get entangled in even more drama when she married Jake Meyer (Sam Behrens) in 1986 and plotted to raise the baby he fathered with his mistress. However, Bobbie's life was turned upside down when she was paralyzed after an attack on the hospital. During her recovery, Bobbie befriended a woman named Martha McKee (Nancy Becker-Kennedy). Bobbie later agreed to raise Martha's children, Skeeter and Melissa. However, after Melissa rebelled, the children were taken away from Bobbie, and she was unable to adopt them, ultimately causing Jake to leave town.
Bobbie briefly reunited with Scotty Baldwin before falling hard for Dr. Tony Jones (Brad Maule). However, her quest to become a mother was still her central focus. She ended up purchasing a child on the black market, which led to a messy custody battle. However, when all was said and done, she was able to adopt the boy she named Lucas Jones.
When Bobbie and Tony began to have marital complications in the late '90s, she found him in bed with Carly Roberts. This betrayal drove Bobbie straight into the arms of Stefan Cassadine (Stephen Nichols), whom she later married. However, Bobbie realized that Stefan was evil and teamed up with her brother Luke Spencer to take him down. Meanwhile, Tony and Carly got engaged and were expecting a child together when Bobbie found out that Carly was her biological daughter, whom she had given up for adoption all those years ago.
