What was Robert Kelker-Kelly known for

Kelker-Kelly was born April 18, 1964, in Wichita, Kansas. He began his television career in 1987 as Sam Fowler on “Another World.”

His biggest role on television came several years later. In 1992 he joined "Days of Our Lives" as Bo Brady stepping into the character that Peter Reckell had played before. Kelker-Kelly took on the part. Stayed with it for nearly 600 episodes before Reckell came back to the role in 1995. While he was on the show he shared scenes with Kristian Alfonso, who played Hope Brady and Lisa Rinna, who played Billie Reed.

Later he moved to "General Hospital," where he first appeared as Stavros Cassadine in 2001. He returned to play that character multiple times over the years. His last appearance in that role was in September 2014. He also went back to "Another World" from 1996, to 1998 this time playing a character named Bobby Reno.

What did Lisa Rinna say about him

Kelker-Kelly’s name was back in the news earlier this year after Lisa Rinna discussed their relationship in her memoir, “You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It.” Rinna, who played Billie Reed on “Days of Our Lives,” described their relationship behind the scenes in deeply negative terms.

“Behind the scenes, we hated each other,” Rinna wrote, calling Kelker-Kelly one of Hollywood’s “bullies.”

“He made my life a living hell on the set of 'Days.' He was horrible to me,” she added. “I'd go so far as to say verbally abusive. He was passive-aggressive, manipulative and played weird mind games.”

Rinna also wrote, “If I didn't do what he wanted, he'd give me the silent treatment,” and described him as “a ticking time bomb.”

Kelker-Kelly did not publicly respond to Rinna’s allegations. Despite the controversy surrounding his name in recent months, his death is being reported as a medical event, with no specific cause publicly released.
