In what fans are calling one of the most emotional turns in recent General Hospital history, it’s now confirmed that Jane Elliot, the legendary actress behind Tracy Quartermaine, will be leaving the canvas once again. The exit comes just after the deeply moving memorial for Monica Quartermaine—a storyline that has already shaken Port Charles to its core.

This marks the end of yet another era at GH, and fans are mourning twice: first for the loss of Monica, a beloved character portrayed by the late Leslie Charleson, and now for Tracy, whose exit represents the closing chapter of one of the most iconic families in daytime television.

Jane Elliot has long been considered daytime royalty, bringing sharp wit, strength, and complexity to Tracy Quartermaine since her debut in 1978. While she has come and gone over the decades, every return felt like a gift—and her most recent run was no different. Tracy brought sass, sarcasm, and a surprisingly tender heart back to Port Charles when she returned in the wake of Monica’s declining health.

Her interactions with characters like Brook Lynn, Ned, and even Sonny always carried the weight of Quartermaine history, and fans relished every moment of her biting humor and heartfelt wisdom. But with Monica’s death now shaking the foundations of the Q family, it seems Tracy’s time has also come to an end—for now.

According to General Hospital spoilers, Tracy’s departure will come immediately after Monica’s memorial airs—tying her exit directly into the larger Quartermaine storyline. Sources say that Tracy will deliver a powerful farewell speech at the service, one that echoes not only her love and complicated relationship with Monica, but also her realization that it’s time to step away from the chaos of Port Charles.

The decision to time Jane Elliot’s exit with Monica’s memorial is no accident. GH writers appear to be closing a significant chapter with emotional weight, allowing fans to grieve both the character of Monica and Tracy’s departure in a meaningful, unified moment.

Let’s be clear: losing Jane Elliot is a massive loss for the GH family—both on screen and off. Her dynamic presence, no-nonsense delivery, and deep history with nearly every legacy character made Tracy Quartermaine a cornerstone of the show. She brought a sense of continuity, history, and integrity to storylines that few others could.

Fans are already taking to social media to express their sadness and gratitude, with tributes pouring in for both Elliot and her late co-star, Leslie Charleson. “There’s never going to be another Tracy Quartermaine,” one fan posted. “She was fierce, flawed, fabulous—and we loved her for it.”

If history is any indication, Jane Elliot’s goodbye may not be forever. This isn’t the first time she’s stepped away from the role, and every time she’s returned, it’s been under the kind of dramatic, heartfelt circumstances that only GH can deliver. Could we see her again down the road for a major family crisis or a holiday visit to the Quartermaine mansion? It’s possible. But for now, fans should prepare to say goodbye—again.

As GH says farewell to both Monica Quartermaine and Tracy Quartermaine, it’s impossible not to feel the weight of this moment. These are not just characters; they are pillars of the show’s 60-year legacy. Jane Elliot’s departure marks the end of an era, and her absence will be deeply felt.

So raise a glass of Quartermaine toast (maybe even a plate of pizza instead of turkey) and honor the incredible contributions of two daytime legends. Thank you, Jane Elliot. Tracy will always be unforgettable.
