General Hospital Spoilers: Monica told Jason 5 HEARTBREAKING WORDS before she ᴅɪᴇᴅ
Today was a very somber one for longtime fans of General Hospital when at the end of the September 17th episode, we learn that Monica Quartermaine has died.
The moment occurs on the heels of Tracy (Jane Elliot) asking Jason (Steve Burton) to return home to the Quartermaine mansion right away. Jason knows it m serious so he heads back from Bobbie’s.
Tracy first reveals that she saw Michael (Rory Gibson) fleeing the scene thanight that Drew (Cameron Mathison) was shot. She tells Jason she has no intention of telling the police. Jason thanked her for her discretion and assured Tracy that he won’t allow Michael to go down for the crime.

Next, Tracy informs Jason, that thus far she has been able to keep Monica from finding out about Drew’s shooting, but is worried that it’s only a matter of time before she does. She feels it would be best if Monica were to be told the news from Jason, who agreed to break the news as gently as he could. A concerned Tracy was thankful to Jason for handling it the best way he knows how.
Then, Tracy is scolding the security guards on the phone for allowing Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) to show up with Scout at the front door, which set in motion the moment where Scout and Wiley would get to say hello to grandmother Monica on their first day of school which is tradition, and unknowingly for the final time.

Jason comes down the staircase, completely shaken and devastated, welling up in tears. Tracy knows something is off and says, How’d she take it?” Jason sadly replies, “I never had to tell her. She was already gone.” Tracy is reeling from the news and in shock.
This marks the end of forty-plus decades of Monica being on the canvas on the iconic soap opera. Monica was played by GH legend, Leslie Charleson who took over the role from Patsy Rahn in 1977. Sadly in recent years, Charleson’s declining health made it impossible for her to appear on camera. The beloved actress passed away in January 2025. Now,GH is giving the character and Leslie their due in the weeks to come as Port Charles learns of Monica’s passing, then the funeral and more, which will include the arrival of Erika Slezak (ex-Viki, OLTL) in a new GH role.
So, what did you think of the final moments of today’s GH when Jason tells Tracy that Monica has died? Let us know in the comment section below.
