What began with ambivalence transformed into quite an honorary speech for Tracy’s dearly beloved sister in law, Monica. Tracy’s heartfelt speech for Monica was as genuine as Jane’s feelings for Leslie Charleson. Elliot and Charleson were true friends behind the GH set, and walked through life together since meeting in 1965.

Reportedly, GH iconic Jane Elliot opened up about losing Leslie, and mourning her friend twice. She told Variety, “It was very, very difficult to play her alive when she had already passed in real life. It extended the mourning because we had to keep her alive when she wasn’t. I had to mourn her death twice,” Elliot disclosed.
