GENERAL HOSPITAL: Tracy Lets Ronnie Have it for Selling the House to Drew: “You Dishonor Monica, and Everything She Stood For! Shame on You!”
Can it get any better seeing Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine) and Erika Slezak (Ronnie Bard) facing off in scenes on all-new episodes of General Hospital? Well, the story continued on Wednesday’s October 29 episode of the ABC daytime drama series when Tracy and company learn that Ronnie is selling Monica’s house.
In the pick-up from Tuesday, where we now know that Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) is pulling all the strings and blackmailing Ronnie if she didn’t sell the house to his client, Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison), Tracy becomes upset by Ronnie’s announcement.
So, in turn, Tracy tells Ronnie, “Over my dead body!” In that moment, Ronnie can’t look anyone of the Qs in the eyes. Next, Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) tries to intervene but Ronnie claims she’s just not used to living with so many people around. Tracy chimes in that generations of her family live in this mansion.

Ned (Wally Kurth) tells Ronnie that he hopes she will change her mind, because many of their family members, including her sister Monica, are in the family crypt. Tracy says if she plans on selling the house then sell it to Michael (Rory Gibson). Next, Michael tells Ronnie he can pay whatever Ronnie wants for the house, so it can stay within the Quartermaine family. However, Ronnie reveals she has already accepted an offer, and felt compelled to sell the house, just as Drew arrives boasting he’s the buyer!
Next, snarky Congressman Cain says everyone has to move out as the sale is a done deal. A shocked Ned wants to know why Ronnie would sell to, of all people, Drew? Already feeling ambushed, awkward and terrible about the whole situation she is in and has caused, Drew pipes up that he and Ronnie bonded and that she listened to him when they spoke, something his own family won’t do.
Ronnie, stares at the floor, and claims she never wanted to be part of this family, or their squabbles. She is selling the house and moving on with her life. Tracy fires back, “So you are abandoning the responsibility your sister honored you with and left to you, what a surprise!”

At the end of the episode in the soap’s final moments, Tracy goes in on Ronnie telling her Monica entrusted her with this house, and she betrayed her by selling it to hateful Drew. Next, with tears in her eyes, she yells at Ronnie, “You dishonor Monica, and everything she stood For! Shame on you!”
Next, Tracy walks away, leaving a shaken Ronnie. That scene was played brilliantly by Jane Elliot, where you could see that Tracy is still grieving deeply the loss of Monica, and so hurt by Ronnie’s action, while Erika Slezak, showed a woman who got in to deep with her deception, it’s caused her to reconsider after it’s all too late, and the guilt she has over what she has done to her sister’s beloved family.
So, what did you think about the final moment’s of Wednesday’s GH when Tracy berates Ronnie for selling the house to Drew? How will this all come out to light, so that the house is rightfully in the hands of Tracy or Michael? Share your thoughts in the comment section. And in case you missed it, check out the Michael Fairman Channel’s interview with Jane Elliot at the 52nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards, where she speaks on sharing scenes with Erika Slezak below.
Yes, Jane Elliot is brilliant, as is Erika Slezak. But the writing was good as well. That’s what makes their scenes click! Can’t say the same at Y&R where nothing clicks, no matter how good the actors are.
I tried watching Y and R during Covid and I couldn’t get past the terrible writing.
What does Y&R have to do with this article?
The writing is good? No it’s not. None of this should be able to happen. Tracy is (supposedly) contesting the will. The house really should be in a trust to prevent probate. I understand legalities are glossed over to not get mired in the mundane, but while some stories go on and on and on, this one they’re plowing through too quickly. If it was to accommodate ES’ availability, then they should have written a different story. And Ronnie caving so quickly to Martin. UGH. I could go on…
I haven’t given up on Ronnie. I feel like she’s ready to blow, up on Drew, and sell the house to Michael instead. Drew is incorrect when he says it’s a done deal. No papers were signed, no money exchanged hands. Martin is not going to tell anyone that the will has been forged because he is the one who forged the will! How Ronny fell for that when she seems like a sharp gal, is implausible. But hopefully, she will realize there’s a way out and stand up to both Martin and Drew.
Y&R should have fought to get Jane. Would have been an ideal Chancellor, maybe Phillip’s sister, and nemesis for Jill Fister Abbot.
There are very few actors this good. Y&R is troubled and GH is best on daytime
Jane continues to leave me in awe. She exhibits multiple emotions (anger, shock, and sadness) with subtle nuisances.
Erika played her lines strongly yet knew not to outshine Jane. What a blessing it’s been to see these two play off each other. Sad that’s ending soon, but left with some great memorable scenes.
Nicely stated! Those two great actresses beautifully play off of each other.
Does anyone else get all ? instead of the article?
Ronnie could not afford the taxes on the estate and it hasn’t gone to probate yet so drew doesn’t own it yet
I just can’t watch any more can’t stand Drew the writing is just bad maybe next year things will change but no more can’t stand it see you later GH.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
