General Hospital News And Spoilers: Leslie Charleson Steps Away, Monica Temporarily Recast

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 Spoilers: Scotty Delivers Shocking News To Monica And The Rest Of The Quartermaine Family

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?

General Hospital News And Spoilers: GH Creates Special Episode Honoring The Late Stuart Damon

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.

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 Spoilers: Monica Falls Victim Of Peter August

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?
