“Sad Day for ‘General Hospital!’ Fans!Leslie Charleson Share Tragic Update – It will shock you!

It’s official—General Hospital has finally addressed why Leslie Charleson’s Monica Quartermaine has been MIA. It turns out that this mysterious absence isn’t just for suspense anymore. Rumor has it that the beloved actress, who’s been part of Port Charles forever, might be stepping back for good.

Why, you ask? Well, it could be because real-life health challenges have made it tough for the General Hospital actress to keep up her high-energy soap life. Back in 2018, Leslie had a nasty leg injury, leading Patty McCormack to step in temporarily. Then, we saw another one-episode fill-in in 2022 with Holly Kaplan.

Leslie’s last appearance was in December 2023. However, insiders now hint that it might be the final curtain call for her iconic character Monica. They told Close Weekly that the GH legend has been struggling with mobility issues. But hey, fret not—Leslie is doing just fine in her own way. She was recently spotted in LA on a lunch date with friends and seemed in high spirits.

Additionally, Charleson enjoyed herself using a walker and hanging out with a caregiver. We must give it to the actress for maintaining her charm and resilience even at 79! The insider added that she’s doing okay under the circumstances and is in no rush to push herself.

GH fans would welcome Monica back in a heartbeat, but it looks like a return to Port Charles may not be possible in Leslie’s future. Following suit, GH producers are not planning to recast the role, considering how unparalleled her talent and presence are. For now, it’s all about leaving that door open, should Charleson ever decide to surprise us all.

Furthermore, she became etched in our hearts by her role as Iris Donnelly on Love is a Many Splendid Thing. But her turn as Monica has left fans with years of drama, love triangles, and powerful performances. After all, those four Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress weren’t for nothing!

While it’s a bittersweet goodbye, Charleson’s legacy at the heart of Port Charles will always live on. Still, we keep our fingers crossed for her dream comeback. Don’t forget to check out Soap Opera Daily for more exclusive tea on General Hospital celebs.
