Robert and Jackie
Jackie was also involved in investigating the Susan Moore murder and publishing other news stories in town.
She left town and came back in 1983 on the arm of an enemy spy named Henrik Brenich. When Henrik is arrested and deported, Jackie was angry with Robert who was against the relationship from the beginning because he knew who Henrik really was. She remained vindictive towards Robert and Holly in several of his investigations before leaving Port Charles in early 1984.
On February 8, 2019, Shiloh was giving Sam McCall a tour of the Dawn of Day House. She was looking at framed photos and asked if one of them was Jackie Templeton. Shiloh said it was and they met doing charity work in Central America.
Jackie returned to town in October 2020 after Lulu Spencer called her to help investigate Cyrus Renault for The Invader.
