Tamara Braun (ex-Carly, now Ava, DAYS): “Lester, Lefty, Bionic woman…I was thinking of you strongly yesterday. I almost sent a text because I know how you have been through many fires here in LA and we’re ALWAYS taking care of the animals during them. Always making sure they were safe. You LOVED animals, you loved an adventure, you loved life. Your quick wit and sense of humor always had me laughing loudly or biting my lip to stop. When we worked together you would have me laughing in between takes and crying during them. It was always a privilege to get to share the screen with you. You hated being up last one day and first the next. “I got the fuzzy end of the stick” you’d say. You were a strong woman with a beautiful heart. A couple of months ago I sent you a photo of a beautiful hibiscus flower that made me think of you. It reminded me of a lovely day we had at your house when we fed your sweet 
them. We talked about getting together when you were feeling better. Oh how I wish that day had come. Hopefully now you ARE feeling better and are so strong and able that you are joyously riding horses and surrounded by all the wonderful animals in the spirit world. Oh Lester…Lefty… you are already so missed. Give Jackie and Stewy a hug from me and have them give you one back from me too.”

William deVry (ex-Julian) “Very, very sad about Leslie’s passing. We’ve kept in touch over the years, and she was always so happy to hear from me. Such a lovely woman. I’ve been wanting to text her over the last few days as Los Angeles is a stressful place to be over the last week. Unfortunately, the second day of the fires, my phone crashed, and I lost my contacts so I couldn’t text her. Finally retrieved her number today only to find out she passed away last night… So, so very sorry for all the fans of General Hospital and for the crew who really loved her. She was very grateful to Frank Valentini for keeping her busy over the years. A real loss.”
Michael Fairman TV will continue to update this post as more of Leslie’s co-stars post their tributes and remembrances over the next day or two. In addition, Good Morning America paid tribute to Charleson on Monday morning with this remembrance video package below.
