Leslie Charleson, who played Dr. Monica Quartermaine on “General Hospital” for nearly half a century, has died, according to the show’s executive producer, Frank Valentini. She was 79.⁠
⁠
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my dear friend and colleague, lesliecharleson,” he wrote in a thread on X on Jan. 12.⁠
⁠
“Her enduring legacy has spanned nearly 50 years on GeneralHospital alone and, just as Monica was the heart of the Quartermaine family, Leslie was a beloved matriarch of the entire cast and crew,” he continued. “I will miss our daily chats, her quick wit and incredible presence on set.⁠

“On behalf of everyone at #GeneralHospital, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to her loved ones during this difficult time,” he concluded.⁠
