General Hospital Spoilers: Monica’s Fragile State Tested — Does News of Drew’s Shooting Seal Her Fate?

General Hospital Spoilers suggest the Quartermaine family is walking on eggshells as Tracy Quartermaine’s (Jane Elliot) dire warning last week to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) echoes: keep Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) in the dark about Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting, or her fragile health might not survive the shock.

But speculation is rife that despite their efforts, word slips through — perhaps via a hospital leak or family slip-up — and the devastating news pushes Monica over the edge, leading to her death.

This heartbreaking turn could finally allow General Hospital to bid farewell to the iconic matriarch and her portrayer, Leslie Charleson, who passed away in January 2025. With the show honoring her legacy, could Monica’s exit reshape the Quartermaines forever?

Tracy’s Warning Ignites Speculation

Tracy’s urgent plea underscores Monica’s vulnerability — bedridden and frail, she’s the heart of the Quartermaines, but her condition leaves little room for stress.

Last week’s shooting of Drew, amid his scandals like blackmailing Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and turning on Stella Henry (Vernee Watson), adds layers of family turmoil.

If news reaches Monica — say, through a well-meaning visitor like Emily ‘Scout’ Cain (Cosette Abinante) or a leaked hospital report — she might not withstand the blow.

Fans speculate this “takes her out,” providing a poignant exit that ties into Charleson’s real-life passing, allowing GH to pay tribute without abruptness.

Monica’s Legacy and Charleson’s Farewell

Monica’s portrayal by Charleson since 1977 has been legendary, embodying resilience through heart attacks, affairs, and family feuds. If the shooting news proves fatal, it could mirror her character’s history of health scares, offering a graceful send-off.

Speculation suggests Monica “takes a shot” metaphorically, her final act protecting the family from beyond — perhaps through a will that exposes Drew’s deeds or unites the Quartermaines.

But honoring Charleson means a heartfelt memorial episode, with flashbacks and tributes. Will this mark the end of an era?

Quartermaine Fallout: A New Chapter?

Monica’s death would shatter the family — Tracy stepping up as matriarch, Michael grappling with leadership, and Drew’s survival (if he pulls through) tainted by guilt. It could ignite wars over ELQ or the mansion, drawing upon fractured alliances throughout the family tree.

Fans are torn: some crave closure for Charleson, others fear losing the Quartermaine glue. If Monica “takes her shot” by exiting amid Drew’s crisis, it redefines legacies. Will this speculation hold, or is Monica’s story far from over even if Charleson has already passed on?
