General Hospital Tragedy: Leslie Charleson Dies at 79 - Monica Quartermaine Actress Passed Away

[@CyndisKrist]

They should definitely have Monica pass on peacefully at some point on the show, and give her an honorable memorial as they did with Bobbie and other legacy characters. These characters cannot be recast. She lived a full life, and was a graceful and talented actress. Rest in peace, Leslie Charleson.

My heart goes out to GH and her friends an family this is sad

[@sharonroy2645]

Agreed

[@debbierandle7299]

Wow! Remember love is a many splendor thing...long time ago. She will be missed! God bless her family🙏 ❤

I couldn't agree more. Nicely put.👍

[@Otherworldly2003]

Tracey has given us a timely ode to Monica and confirmed by Stella engraciating Tracey as matriarch.

[@Ravenpicks]

I feel like it is an end of an Era. So sad. Monica was such a great character. So smart and became such a monarch of her family. She will be missed. RIP Lovely Leslie.

[@Ronnie-ji5dt]

I recall a young girl named Rosa in the late 80s that Monica took in . So many in and out of the Q estate . I've been working on house plans for the Q estate for years.

[@MichelleNelson-my8lp]

So many years, of wonderful storylines.. Always loved her... She will be missed! ❤❤ Blessings to her family..

[@amandagoins8191]

I didn’t see this but today I was thinking Monica must be about to leave the show and Tracy is going to be the new quartermane matriarch.

[@MariaCostello-u5j]

Monica and Alan two of my funniest favorites. May their souls fly free

They were three original War of the Roses😂

Whose house will it be now? Jason's or Tracey's

[@laurabeverage9396]

Leslie C. was an amazing actress. No one can ever replace her as Monica Q. R.I.P., dear lady.

[@simba325]

This was so sad to hear this morning. I hope they do a beautiful funeral for her on GH.

[@kevinshelton9103]

My condolences to the cast and crew of General Hospital on the loss of Leslie. She was a talented and dynamic actress who brought energy, fun and passion to GH as Monica Quartermaine. The fights and passion she had with Alan(Stuart Damon) was something to watch and admire. She was a great part of the show and she will be missed.

[@daleunderdue6935]

I'm shocked. Even though I don't watch GH anymore, I grew up watching the soap and definitely loved her character, Monica Quartermaine. 😢

[@cocoaorange1]

I remember as a small child when Monica was !arrows to Jeff. May the actress RIP! I am sure the writers will give Monica a nice funeral.

[@cynthiakoerner296]

I haven’t really watched GH in about forty years, yet, I’ll never forget Monica Quartermaine! RIP dear Leslie. Thanks for the memories. ❤

So sad. Condolences to Leslie's family and friends. Thank you Leslie for all the wonderful memories.

[@TeriRichardson-tf2yc]

Very sad news as a GH fan for decades, LOVED Monica/Leslie for superb acting over many years! Will be missed...Rest in Peace Leslie...🥰🥰🥰

[@GuinWeaver]

Loved her on General Hospital, one of my favorite strong ladies on tv. Watched her from the time I was little.

[@cynthiahill2055]

I haven't watched General Hospital in years but I remember her well. She was a great actress. The Quartmaine family were a fierce bunch.

[@ldark1773]

I hope no recast. I dont mind waiting for a delayed tribute as long as it is classy & deserving❤😢

[@eileenrogerssouza519]

Leslie thank you for all the time you gave us on GH. Now it's your turn to rest in peace.

I loved they did a voice over when Jason came back. I hope Monica gave the house to Jason.

[@TechnoPrimate66]

Seems like something Monica wld do. She adores Jason.

[@margueritedixon9586]

Me too ❤️. Kick Drew to the curb 👋🏽

[@angelacooper166]

I got a feeling - she gave it to Tracy, with stipulation though. Tracy always wanted it

[@Luluisraging.86]

[@AnnaTrail-xp8pr]

Oh that would keep the sparks going 👍

[@SandraBlake-s8r]

Have watched GH since the birth of my firstborn, almost 49 years ago!! Monica was one of my favorites through the years. I’ll miss her. RIP Leslie❤

[@cecaedwards800]

Rest in peace Leslie Charleston! Amazing actress and thanks for nearly 50 years on GH.

[@JenniferSmith-mt2ij]

I was wondering when Monica wasn't being shown on the show anymore may she rest in peace and have a wonderful life in heaven Leslie

[@godswarrior4807]

RIP Leslie, you will be missed.

[@bee45rpm]

That leaves only Tracy from the first and second generation Quartermaines, unless they bring back Justice. Those scenes were always so great with Edward, Lila, Allen, Tracy, and Monica. Those were the days! So, who will the house go to now?

[@sarahstockton5780]

I hope Jason gets the house. It should go to Tracy but she would kick everyone out.

[@christinamellow9824]

SHE REALLY WAS AWESOME ONE OF THE BEST SOAP ACTRESSES ONE OF THE BEST. REST IN PEACE LESLEY CHARLSTON YOU WILL BE MISSED.💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍❤️❤️❤️🧡🧡🧡🌹🌹🌹

[@phyllismoore1049]

Such a sad loss. I remember watching her with my mom as Iris Donnelly Garrison on “Love is a Many Splendored Thing.” She’s had quite the career and I have appreciated how G H references her even though she’s not on camera. Today’s episode, between Tracy and Stella, was almost a small tribute, as if the show knew she had passed. ❤️

[@bethturner7051]

I thought the same thing when Tracy and Stella were talking. I think likely they knew her passing was imminent if she’d had a lengthy illness.

[@vontaylor472]

RIP Ms Charleson. Thanks for the memories💔💔

So sad. My condolences to her family and her GH family. Have been watching GH since just before she joined and always enjoyed the love hate between her character and Alan.

[@karaaguilar4982]

There is never a “good time” for someone to pass but I realize soaps have to work it in. I thought the 7 months for Jaclyn Zeman was exceedingly long; I hope they don’t wait this long on Monica. She deserves a proper and timely goodbye.

[@02bher1]

So sad to hear this. Loved her feisty character on the show; who will spar with Tracy now? RIP dear lady.💔

[@florafinching]

Who will spar with Tracy? Everyone. 🙂

I remember seeing her in a lot of TV shows in the 70's. I think she was even on Happy Days.

[@JeanetteShaw-b2p]

Definitely an episode on Happy Days. I remember the episode

[@photohoot]

She played Richie's girlfriend

[@Luluisraging.86]

Nothing wrong with usIng a walker! My mom is 96 and is using a walker. She just had a HORRIBLE FALL ON Sunday, she hit her head. Lost her balance, and fell, hitting her head on the book case in her bedroom and scraping up her arm very badly. Luckily my brother is in town, so he was able to help get her up. She ripped her very paper skin off of her arm, and has a very bad cut. So we were able to get her up, thankfully! All the neighbors were at church, so if I hadn’t had my brother here, I would have had to call 911, because I have a horrible neck, w/ arthritis in it and a bad hip! So I’m a real bad mess! I hope the shoe is able to film because of all the fires, because I need some escape in my life! I pray everyone is safe and has a place to go. ❤❤

[@Barnabas45]

@@photohoot I think she played an older neighbor who Ritchie had a crush on?

Yes she played a divorced woman who Richie had gotten to know.
