Bernard was born on May 26, 1959 in Gladewater, Texas, before beginning an acting career, appearing in several small roles on television, including gigs on Diva, Simon & Simon and Betty Blue.
She debuted on General Hospital in 1984 and her final screen credit was playing a psychologist in a small 2002 production called Voices From the High School.
“One of the good things about doing General Hospital is that they let me sing on the show,” she said in a 1986 interview with United Features Syndicate.
“And they linked my background as a gospel singer to the formation of my character.”

For her role as Brock, the actress played an aspiring artist who develops a drinking problem, gets married, and accidentally Woods her husband in self-defense… is accused of two murders… and eventually leaves the soap opera town of Port Charles to sign a record deal.
Classic soap opera stuff throughout.
Robyn Bernard is survived by her father Jerry Wayne Bernard and two sisters Crystal and Scarlett.
We send our condolences to your friends, family and loved ones. May Robyn Bernard rest in peace.
