D.L. Brock threw Bobbie down a flight of stairs, the injuries of which caused her to have a hysterectomy — meaning that she would never be able to have children. Zeman told Soap Opera Digest that she and Groh had become such good friends in real life that their chemistry translated to the screen. She noted, "We wanted it to be real, and it was." D.L. would eventually be murdered and Bobbie was the prime suspect, however it turned out that Ginny Blake (Judith Chapman) was the one who killed him.
Bobbie soon fell for her lawyer, Jacob "Jake" Meyer (Sam Behrens). The two married in 1986, and they took in Skeeter and Melissa, the children of a paraplegic woman named Martha McKee (Nancy Becker-Kennedy) after her health declined. Melissa got into trouble and ran away to Florida where she was kidnapped by an evil pimp and forced to be a sex worker. Bobbie chased Melissa and pretended to be a sex worker herself to infiltrate the villain's gang and rescue Melissa. She succeeded, but not before being arrested, and her sordid past was revealed to everyone in Port Charles, causing the kids to be taken from her and Jake. Tired of her schemes, Jake went to Paraguay to help people in need, and Scotty returned to town where he got rid of Jake's letters to her, causing her to divorce him.
