On April 1st, 2025, an extraordinary episode of General Hospital was broadcasted, commemorating its 62nd anniversary by saluting one of its most cherished characters – Dr. Monica Quartermaine. This special occasion served as a heartfelt tribute to the character and the actor, merging history, tradition, and legacy in an unforgettable celebration. Here’s everything you need to know and more.
How did General Hospital pay tribute to Monica Quartermaine?
The most recent episode of General Hospital focused on the inauguration of the Dr. Monica Quartermaine Heart Care Center. Notable figures from Port Charles attended to pay tribute to this respected physician. Terry and Portia delivered heartfelt speeches, underscoring Monica’s long-standing role as Chief of Staff and her steadfast commitment to General Hospital.
Laura Spencer arrives, and the fresh section is revealed. The occasion was both joyful and poignant, as Tracy Quartermaine announced that Monica was unable to be present – a gentle tribute to the off-screen absence of Leslie Charleson, who portrays Monica.
The General Hospital’s tribute for Monica Quartermaine combined the actual 62nd anniversary of the show with the fictional anniversary of its in-story hospital, both marking significant milestones. Frank Valentini, the executive producer, shared the reasoning behind this choice, saying, “We have more tributes planned for Monica. It happened that we could align the anniversary of the hospital with the anniversary of our show.
He went on to say, “It’s somewhat self-referential, but I find it fantastic. To provide the hospital with a cause for joy, we devised the new Monica Wing, an absolutely stunning addition.” (via Variety)
Overall, although Monica Quartermaine’s departure from the screen will be dealt with later, this episode of General Hospital was a heartfelt tribute to her influence. Her character and Charleson’s remarkable portrayal made an indelible impression. Moreover, amidst the emotional farewell, fans were pleasantly surprised by the announcement of the Nurses Ball in 2025.
