Is Monica leaving General Hospital? Leslie Charleson fans react

Is Monica leaving General Hospital? Leslie Charleson fans have taken to Twitter to react to the recent teaser. Is the actress leaving?

Once again, things are heating up on General Hospital.

The American daytime soap opera began airing on ABC all the way back in 1963, making it the world’s second-longest-running televised soap opera that is still in production.

Needless to say, that’s no small feat.

Created by Frank and Doris Hursley, a wealth of fan favourites have emerged over the decades. However, those who have been with the show for a long time will have a special place in their heart for Monica Quartermaine, portrayed by Leslie Charleson.

Although, a recent episode teaser has audiences curious. Is Monica leaving General Hospital?

Is Monica leaving General Hospital?

Essentially, the reason fans are concerned for Leslie’s iconic character is that a recent episode preview showed her sitting on a chair before suddenly appearing very shocked.

After experiencing something mysterious, she drops her glass of drink to the floor and the teaser has sent fans into speculation.

The fact that there has been no confirmation of Leslie leaving General Hospital should offer comfort, as most performer exits are commented on publicly in advance.

Nevertheless, it’s clear that there is something deeply wrong.

As noted by Celebrating the Soaps, there are a number of potential reasons behind the shocking teaser. Perhaps she is caught in the grip of fear after witnessing the unlikely return of a familiar character? Alternatively, there is the chance that she could be having a stroke.

Whatever the outcome, it’s important to acknowledge that Leslie hasn’t announced her departure from the show. So, there’s hope!

Monica has been part of General Hospital since 1976, becoming an important part of the soap’s universe as a cardiologist at the eponymous hospital.

It was actually Patsy Rahn who first portrayed the character from 1976 to 1977, with Leslie then taking over. Since then, her tenure with the serial is one of the longest in US soap opera history, and the part was only temporarily recast with Patty McCormack in 2018.

A number of fans have weighed in, with one commenting on the preview on YouTube “please don’t hurt Monica, pretty please,” while another added “I Hope Monica will be alright.”

Similarly another weighed in: “I hope nothing happens to Monica . Jason and family has been though enough already.”

Does anyone have the preview for tomorrow's #GH? I think I saw Monica drinking something and the glass breaking, hitting the floor. I know tomorrow's mostly about Sean.👍❤#GeneralHospital

On the other hand, one fan addressed Roger Howarth’s return and speculated: “Monica shocked and dropping a glass… Roger Howarth is back everyone. If so, is he back as Drew Cain or AJ Quartermaine?”
