General Hospital Spoilers: Monica’s Death Will Happen Soon — Who Will She Leave Her Estate to?
General Hospital spoilers reveal Leslie Charleson passed away on January 12th, 2025, and the legacy she leaves behind rests in the hands of GH writers and in the way they decide to give her a proper send-off.
We haven’t seen Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) on-screen since December 21, 2023. Continually declining health prevented her from returning to the show, though the storyline has carried on that Monica is at the Q mansion, but tucked away recovering from a repeated string of ailments.
Now, it’s likely that GH is going to end Monica’s 46-year-streak on the sudser in similar fashion — with her death. Of note, Charleson remains the longest-serving member of the GH cast, having jumped on set in 1977.
In the wake of her death, theories are circulating that Monica’s death can’t be far behind. That leads us to question who will grieve the hardest, and who will benefit the most from her death.
Tracy, Her Oldest Frenemy
Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliott) and Monica have never cared much for one another. They’ve fought over men — namely Tracy’s brother, who was Monica’s late husband, Alan Quartermaine (Stuart Damon).
They’ve fought over family, money, ELQ, and largely over the Quartermaine compound. Alan bequeathed the dazzling digs to Monica after his death — a move that has left Tracy bitter, and threatens to ‘til the very end.
Is this it though? Will Monica, in a touching sentiment that proves she really did love and respect Tracy, leave the house to her?
GH Spoilers Suggest the Hospital Remains a Benefactor
Next to her family, nothing has mattered more to Monica than medicine. She devoted her career to championing it at GH, and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if she left much of her estate to be liquidated and donated to the hospital where she spent more hours of her life than she likely did at home.
Should that be the case, we might expect that Tracy — or someone possibly even more bitter, such as Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) — could tie things up in court for some time challenging Monica’s final wishes.
Jason is Home
Certainly, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) always was the golden child. Nevermind that others stayed closer to home and toed the line for the family business, ELQ.
Nevermind that Jason was a mob enforcer for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Nevermind that Monica never got over losing A.J. Quartermaine (Sean Kanan).
Jason was the son whose loss impacted her the most, and she never gave up hope that he would come back to her someday. Returning to Port Charles a couple of years ago, and now finally coming back to live at the Q mansion has left Monica’s soul at peace.
Will she leave her fortune to Jason — possibly with the unspoken expectation that she expects him to turn his life around and do good with it?
Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to see how we finally say goodbye to this GH legend.
