General Hospital Mourns Death Of Leslie Charleson
Frank Valentini went to the official General Hospital Facebook page to share that actress Leslie Charleson passed away. Valentini said,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my dear friend and colleague, Leslie Charleson. Her enduring legacy has spanned nearly 50 years on General Hospital alone and, just as Monica was the heart of the Quartermaines, Leslie was a beloved matriarch of the entire cast and crew. I will miss our daily chats, her quick wit and incredible presence on set. On behalf of everyone at General Hospital, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to her loved ones during this difficult time. – Frank Valentini
Charleson originally joined the cast as Monica Quartermaine in 1977. She played the role well until finally making her last appearance in December 2023. She left after suffering some ups and downs with her health.
Falling became very frequent for her and her last fall led her to a hospital stay just a week ago. Those who knew her said even though she was slower moving around, she never lost her spirit.
Leslie’s Accomplishments Over The Years
Leslie Charleson had many accomplishments throughout her life. She guest starred on Dharma & Greg, Diagnosis: Murder, Friends. She also starred in the 1993 made-for-television movie Woman on the Ledge.
Over the course of her General Hospital career, she became the center of one of the most iconic love triangles on soaps. This triangle consisted of Rick, Monica and Alan.
Charleson was known for slapping people on the show. Her character also went through a lot over the years including surviving breast cancer and having three children die. Of course, in the soap opera world, she has been shot and shot at many times.
Cast and crew rushed to the comments to offer their condolences. Everyone noted how much she will be missed.
Rest in Peace Leslie, the Quartermaine family will never be the same without Monica.
