Robert Kelker-Kelly, ‘Days of Our Lives’ and ‘General Hospital’ soap opera star, dies at 62

Soap opera star Robert Kelker-Kelly has died, according to a Missouri medical examiner’s office. He was 62.

A spokesperson for the Missouri Office of the Regional Medical Examiner, which serves Franklin, Jefferson, and St. Charles counties, confirmed in a statement to NBC News that Kelker-Kelly died on Saturday.

The medical examiner’s office did not list the cause of death, and said that its “normal timeline for death certification is approximately 12 weeks,” according to the spokesperson. The office did not have any additional information to share at this time, the spokesperson said.

Kelker-Kelly was best known for playing Bo Brady on “Days of Our Lives” from 1992 to 1995 and Stavros Cassadine on “General Hospital” from 2001 to 2014.

“Days of Our Lives” addressed his death in an Instagram post on Monday.

“Rest in peace,” the post reads.

Kelker-Kelly got his start in daytime television when he joined the cast of “Another World” as Sam Fowler in 1987.

He then joined “Days of Our Lives” in 1992, where he starred alongside some of the soap opera’s most notable stars, including former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member Lisa Rinna.

Rinna and Kelker-Kelly played each other’s love interests on the show. The actor and reality star described having a tumultuous relationship with Kelker-Kelly behind the scenes in her recently published memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It: A Candid New York Times Bestselling Memoir of Hollywood, Aging, and Owning It All.”

“We hated each other,” Rinna wrote, adding that Kelker-Kelly “made my life a living hell on the set of ‘Days.’”

Rinna and Kelker-Kelly won a Soap Opera Digest Award in 1995 for the hottest soap couple. The year prior, Kelker-Kelly won one of the awards for outstanding lead actor.
