I don't watch GH with any regularity anymore, limiting it to Nurse's Ball and when Jackie Zeman's tribute shows aired, but I will tune in to see Erika Slezak...hopefully as Vicki.

If her playing Viki is important to you, ... be warned of possible  probable disappointment.

I floated what I thought was a brilliant character for her to play, a hitperson set to take out 2 persons - Natalia & Drew. This, of course, was while Natalia was still alive. Nonetheless it was met with gales of laughter. Apparently I am alone in seeing its brilliance.

RUMOR REPORT: Is One Life To Live's Erika Slezak Playing Monica's Long-Lost Sister on General Hospital?    https://daytimeconfidential.com/2025/07/14/rumor-report-erika-slezak-playing-monicas-long-lost-sister-on-general-hospital 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reminder: this is a RUMOUR REPORT! This is not confirmed information.

 

I started to react, then remembered it's still a rumor.

I don't know how I feel about that but I'm open to it. I love the idea that Monica will get an actual send off storyline instead of just an episode. This could work of executed properly.

I don’t need a retconned relative for Monica to pop up. Who the hell cares and, sadly, what are they really going to write for an elderly woman anyway? They couldn’t even write for Monica for years, even when Leslie was capable and willing to work.

We’re lucky we get as much of Jane Elliott as we do and she’s the one carrying the flame for the Quartermaine’s. Speaking of, I am sure these lazy and banal writers couldn’t resist putting Slezak’s character (whoever she ends up being) in some sort of convoluted rivalry or antagonistic dynamic with Tracy. 

This rumor has been around since her casting was announced 

ES should be playing Viki

Maybe Viki could end up being Monica's sister. Same mom, different dad or vice versa

No no no, let's not retcon Viki or Monica's history just to bring on Viki 

I agree but I'd rather viki be related to Monica then her es be a new role

John, there is no way that is even remotely necessary.

Vee, there is no reason Monica needs an unknown sister

Not having watched OLTL I would prefer it to be a new character. Doesn't have to be a relative. Could be a society frenemy of Tracy and then if Slezak wants to stay, they can build around her.

Monica's birth family has always been mostly enigmatic and unknown. Viki's entire bloodline has decades of massive history. How exactly would tying Viki and Monica together be beneficial to either one? It feels like bad convoluted fanfiction.

I don't particularly love the idea of Erika coming on playing anyone other than Viki given her massive footprint, but the idea I l like even less is suddenly saying Viki has yet another secret relative and it happens to be the late matriarch of General Hospital.

Bring her on as a step sister if needed. Anything is better than Frank rewriting OLTL history again to fit his GH whims 

Lulu works for Viki at the Banner.   Ms. Slezak should appear as Viki.

ES should be Viki and Monica should be out of it

After Monica dies, maybe her cousin Lorena Sharpe back who feels entitled to her wealth
