Well, I don't know what else to say except this is a huge blow to GH and to the entire industry and my heart goes out to all who've been affected personally by her loss.

I definitely agree with @Vee and with others that GH wouldn't have become the powerhouse show that it was throughout the late '70's and '80's without Leslie Charleson.  The Lesley/Rick/Monica/Alan storyline was one of daytime's best, and it all had to do with the performances from everyone involved, including Charleson, who had to remain empathetic for the audience as Monica, even as Monica was doing some very ugly things to hold onto Rick.

Leslie Charleson was, is and always will be a legend to everyone who cares about the soaps.  May she RIP.

One of the blessings of YouTube is how much classic stuff we can watch. And that confrontation between Monica and Lesley about Rick is iconic. I am so happy that I have now seen most of the entire storyline.

LC was visceral in those scenes. And because of the shady nature of the Quartermaines in the 70’s and 80’s, she got to play a character that was complex and wasn’t always a good person within those dynamics. But she was rootable and always worth watching. They all were. It was part of their charm.

Totally agree. Not a fan of his leadership but I do like his involvement of the veteran cast. 

The most underrated and perhaps best couple in General Hospital. This long-lasting marriage fueled great years of toxic television. Rip to Monica and Alan Quartermaine.
