Lesley was there during Gloria Monty. Her nickname was Luther. Just the other day I was hoping the show would get her onscreen just one more time, especially with Jason in the mansion.

I can't see through my tears

I watched Jeff/Monica/Rick and Rick/Monica/Alan and Monica/Rick/Leslie.  Live.
But I really loved Monica the cardiac surgeon!

 

It will always be Monica's house.

I recently watched some GH 1984 episodes where she was front and center... and I was mesmerized by this lady. 

She will be remembered by all of us, a true icon in the daytime community. May she rest in peace.

 May light perpetual shine upon her & may angels guide her to her new heavenly home, where she will be met by long unseen friends & family & beloved pets. Stuart Damon is hosting a feast in her honor, waiting only for her to take her place at the head of the table.

Leslie Charleson SLAYED her scenes with @MauriceBenard. Sonny's greatest enemy was never the rival mob family of the month, it was always Monica. #GH pic.twitter.com/oKS1C9Q80K

Rest in peace Leslie Charleson 🥲 grateful to have had the opportunity to learn so much from her while I was starting my run on General Hospital. Watching her work with Stuart Damon, a.k.a. Alan Quartermaine, and John Ingle was a joy for me, especially when I was included in the… https://t.co/z5EooMEBT4

One of Leslie's earlier scenes as Monica and her opinion on the difference in writing for soaps from when she started to the time of this interview.

Mind you this interview was about two decades ago and what she said is even more true today. #GH #RIPLeslieCharleson pic.twitter.com/AHTxnI9mIo

Lesley: I belong inside this hospital as surely as you do Monica. In fact, I pre-date you.

Monica: Yes, you do. To the Stone Age. #MonicaQuartermaine #LeslieCharleson #RIPLeslie #GH pic.twitter.com/lou69j0vbn

RIP Leslie Charleson. This heat-seeking missile of talent gave us a Dr. Monica Quartermaine for the ages — brilliant, ballsy, dangerous when necessary & altogether unforgettable. But her best role was as herself: Thank you, dear hilarious Lester, for being YOU. Happy trails. #GH pic.twitter.com/ssUN0QxeRG

Omg what a fantastic scene. She read the HELL out of Sonny. He really did do a number on the Quartermaines and I’m glad some of them still hate him. I need to find more scenes of Monica reading him.

Another great scene.

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. 

Those scenes with Monica and Jason are candid re: Monica's examination of herself - she was such an unusual character who evolved from someone totally disinterested in motherhood or anything like it, and still understood her own distance and hardness after she'd changed - and often very well-scripted. They lost that new rapport over time when Guza returned and began holding the Qs in contempt; it only slightly recovered much later, after Jason belatedly expressed regret for his actions at both Alan and A.J.'s deathbeds, then after Steve returned again in the late 2010s and they had him imitating Drew's recent closeness to Monica when Billy Miller was in the role of Jason/Drew.
