Some General Hospital fans firmly believe some iconic roles are better left to their long time portrayers.
In the soap world it isn’t uncommon for an actor to step away from a role for which they have become known and loved. The role of Monica Quartermaine was originated in 1976 and played by Patty McCormack. Leslie Charleson stepped into the role in 1977, becoming the most familiar face of Monica Quartermaine.
General Hospital news reports confirm the role of Monica Quartermaine has been temporarily recast. Prime time star Holly Kaplan has taken over the role of Monica for the March 15th episode of GH. Leslie Charleson is said to be returning to the canvas sooner rather than later.
Charles’s replacement, Holly Kaplan, is known for her roles in prime time on The Ghost Whisperer, Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper, The Mentalist,Better Call Saul, and more, including a recurring role on Days Of Our Lives, as a nurse.
Thankfully Kaplan could step in for the March 15th, filling in for Charleson. GH news reports indicate the recast was for one episode at this time.
General Hospital legend Maurice Benard is known for his work on the daytime drama as Sonny Corinthos. Also in more recent years, Maurice is known for advocating for mental health in his YouTube series, State of Mind.
General Hospital news reports reveal GH icon Leslie Charleson sat down with her co-star Maurice Benard to talk about family life, her childhood, her bi-polar sister, and her life as Monica Quartermaine for over 40 years.

Maurice and Leslie’s heart to heart is very telling into both of their life experiences as they trade stories, comparing and relating to one another. Please take the time to watch the captivating episode with GH’s Maurice Benard (Sonny) and Leslie Charleson (Monica).
Maurice Benard Aka General Hospital’s Sonny Corinthos is as kind and warm hearted as they come. His advocacy for mental health awareness has positively influenced many.
General Hospital news reports reveal Benard has a very interesting confession about one of his long time co-workers.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Benard has worked with this iconic actress for 30 years, while admitting to never have truly sat down and had a conversation together.
In a recent Instagram post, Benard revealed that he has finally gotten the chance to sit down with GH star Leslie Charleson, who most of us know as Monica Quartermaine.
For many General Hospital fans, when we think “Nikolas Cassadine,” we see Tyler Christopher’s face. He has been the face of Nikolas since 1996 before exiting. The Cassadine’s are a large part of GH and their roles leave lasting impressions.
Although the role of Nikolas Cassadine has been recast with the incredible Marcus Coloma, General Hospital rumors hint there could be room for Christopher to return to the GH canvas in some way.
General Hospital news and spoilers indicate that Tyler Christopher has moved from Ohio, back to California, settling in San Diego. GH rumors claim this could be an indication of an upcoming return to work at General Hospital.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Tyler Christopher will be reuniting with his General Hospital co-stars in an upcoming episode of Maurice Benard’s YouTube series, State of Mind.
General Hospital news and spoilers report Maurice and Tyler both shared info on the upcoming State of Mind, which will include Tyler Christopher, Leslie Charleson (Monica Quartermaine), and Joyce Guy (Phyllis Caulfield).

Maybe it’s instinct, maybe it’s her guilty conscience, but something has Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) worrier. Whether it’s genuine concern for Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) or worry that she and Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) have been found out.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Willow feels tension around Monica while working at GH.
In recent General Hospital previews, Willow approaches her ex mother in law, Monica, and asks if something is wrong. Monica seems to be keeping to herself while buried in her work.
General Hospital rumors indicate Willow’s nice girl image is about to flip when Chase (Josh Swickard) makes it know that she and Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) have been sleeping together behind his back.
Is Monica just in her own head or does Willow have something to worry about for what she’s doing with Monica’s grandson?
Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner) loves to stir the pot wherever he goes. Strangers, friends, and even family aren’t exempt from Scotty’s ability to make people uncomfortable or get them all up in arms the at least.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Scotty is about to do what he loves best- and throw a wrench into a few someone’s day.
In recent General Hospital previews for the week of July 12th- July 16th, Scotty is shown barging into the Quartermaine mansion just as an ELQ meeting is about to begin.
General Hospital rumors suggest Scotty’s announcement could have to do with the new guy in town, Austin (Roger Howarth). GH fans believe that Austin is the son of Edward Quartermaine’s son, Jimmy Lee Holt, making Austin a Quartermaine, and throwing a wrench into whatever plans Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson), and the Q’s have for ELQ.
If Austin is a Quartermaine, this changes the game for everyone involved, including Valentin and Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) scheme to take Valentin’s shares by passing off Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) baby as hers and Valentin’s.
The two girls recently discussed coming clean and letting Maxie have baby Louise, and now it looks like there may not be a choice.
Will Austin be the reason Maxie and Brook Lynn’s plan unravels?
At last month’s end, General Hospital news reports announced the devastating news regarding the passing of General Hospital icon, Stuart Damon. His past co-stars and life long friends shared their condolences to his family with a heavy heart, while expressing their fondness and admiration for such a kind, talented, and legendary man.
General Hospital spoilers reveal GH will create a special tribute episode that will air in honor of Stuart, and is iconic role on General Hospital as Alan Quartermaine.
General Hospital news reports reveal a very telling statement by on-screen wife, Leslie Charleson, who played beside Damn for decades as Monica Quartermaine. At the time of learning of her co-star’s passing, Charles stated, “This is the 30th anniversary for the two of us, in August. The timing leaves me very discouraged about the way soaps are going, the total disregard for history and the blatant disregard for the veterans.” When Damon was fired in 2007 by Jill Farren Phelps, at the order of Brian Frons and Anne Sweeney, Charleson, among many other leading co-stars, spoke out against the decision to just throw away a veteran character.
Although killed off the show in 2007, Damon made appearances heee and there as a ghost and hallucinations, and his last appearance was during GH’s 50th anniversary in 2013.
General Hospital news and spoilers have yet to reveal any details on when this tribute episode will air or what the premise will be other than the obvious. Like the tribute episode for John Reilly and is role as Sean Donnelly, this episode’s main focus will be on the life of Alan Quartermaine. But it’s not clear if there will be a separate storyline as there was in the episode honoring John/Sean.
General Hospital Blog will keep you up to date on the latest GH spoilers, news, previews, rumors, and more.
Thankfully Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) has her newfound companionship with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) as she navigates through one difficult situation to another.
Britt has been on the receiving end of some bad news and things happening to her lately, but having Jason by her side has softened the blow.
General Hospital news and spoilers confirm Jason won’t be the only one in Britt’s corner when she receives more disappointing news. GH comings and goings report that Parry Shen will return to GH as Britt’s buddy, Brad Cooper, on July 1st.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Britt will receive some more bad news. She’ll be informed by Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) that she is being replaced as Chief of Staff at GH. She was appointed the position by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), back to when he thought he could use Dr. Westbourne to slyly traffic drugs through the hospital. Now that Renault has been hauled off to Federal Prison, Britt’s credentials are no longer a match for the position.
There has been quite a mystery surrounding Roger Howarth’s new role on General Hospital. After killing of his character, Franco Baldwin, General Hospital news reports confirmed that actor Roger Howarth would be returning to the show as an entirely new character.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Dr. Austin Holt has roots here in Port Charles, as he is tied to a very prominent and powerful family. GH rumors indicate that Austin’s email regarding an ELQ board meeting is a key clue to Austin’s identity and background.
General Hospital rumors suggest that Austin Holt is in fact a Quartermaine. Making him the son of Jimmy Lee Holt, an illegitimate son of the late Edward Quartermaine.
GH fans radar went off in the May 17th episode when Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) mentioned Jimmy Lee Holt as an example of how the Quartermaine family has survived many who have done before Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Because of this name drop, GH fans began to wonder if Austin would have some type of connection to Holt.
It turned out Austin is very interested I. Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and it’s no coincidence that his interest has to do with the fact that Michael is not only a Corinthos, but a true Quartermaine as well.
Does Austin have good intentions? GH news and spoilers disclosed that GH writers wanted Howarth’s new role to play a lighter, softer, character, as opposed to the dark and twisted early version of Franco Baldwin.
General Hospital star, John Reilly will be honored in tomorrow’s mystery episode of GH. Sean Donnelly was a memorable man with many who loved and admired him as a father, friend, and WSB Agent.
General Hospital spoilers reveal tomorrow’s episode of GH will keep fans at the edge of their seat as the friends and family of Sean Donnelly try to solve an age old mystery at his memorial. General Hospital news reports confirmed the return of Kimberly McCullough as Robin Scorpio, and Kristina Wagner ad Felicia Jones.
General Hospital previews show Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) falling ill after taking a drink. It seems all too familiar as we saw what happened to Detective Chase (Josh Swickard) when having coffee with his family. Chase was poisoned by Peter August after mistakenly taking the cup that was meant for Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton).
General Hospital rumors claim Peter has struck again and this time his target is Monica Quartermaine. It’s possible he somehow found out that Chase would be under Monica’s care at the Quartermaine mansion. Since Monica makes the final decisions in the household, Peter may have taking things to extremes to make things more difficult for Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), Finn, and Chase.
Chase’s is alive but his life is hanging in the balance. Will Monica suffer the same fate, or worse?
