Remembering a Career in Daytime Television
Robert Kelker-Kelly gained significant recognition in 1992 when he stepped into the role of Bo Brady on Days of Our Lives, succeeding actor Peter Reckell. Following his departure from the series in 1995, he continued his acting career by portraying Stavros Cassadine on General Hospital.
Former co-star Sandra Dee Robinson shared her condolences regarding his passing via social media, reflecting on their time working together on Another World. She remarked:
«Certainly a shock to hear of my former costar Robert Kelker-Kelly’s passing. My first years in TV on Another World were a whirlwind, and Robert and I had no idea how popular our storyline would be… or what that meant. We learned together! It was not always an easy time working together on that show, but years later we would laugh on calls about life. I know he enjoyed being a pilot… grateful to have had the opportunity to know him. It is sad news to see he’s passed.»
