FORMIDABLE!!!!!!!!

Bravo to ABC for giving a proper send off to a great employee for 40 years plus. Thank you for sharing your talent, Ms Elliott! God Speed!

I’m going to miss her terribly. I love a Tracy… I hope she returns even if For visits.

EPIC

Hate to see her leave but instead of gettung her own storyline she had to be part of Finn and Hayden’s who are a snooze and this final exit storyline is forgettable….anyway, Leslie C. as Monica should get more screen time now but i doubt it!!!

PHENOMENAL !!!!!!!!!!!!

Micheal. Saw your name in the credits as a producer.
Thank you so very much for doing this for us.

Will miss her a lot! Watched her on GH with my mom so many years ago. Wish her the best!

PERFECTION! theres your one word.

Superior!

The word I think of to describe Jane Elliot is Integrity.

Like many of the people here, I was a child when Jane came onto the GH canvas. I used to watch the show after school with my mom back in those days. It was such a fun time. The show was making history and setting records. My mother passed away a long time ago but her date of birth was May 4th. This episode is going to be bitter sweet for me for a few different reasons. I thank Jane and GH for the memories.

I first saw Jane on an ABC soap called “Flame in the Wind.” Since then, I’ve seen all roles on all the shows she has graced. This is without a doubt an actress who stands alone in exceptionall-ism. To say she will be sorely missed is an understatement. To Jane, to Tracy: “Have the best of everything in your life so far.”

Couldn’t believe the news Tracy will be no more. We grow up with the character, it’s easy to forget the real person has a life outside the show. God Bless you Jane, thank you for many years of many emotions watching you!!!

Incomparable

real

One word: Icon!

They don’t make characters like Tracy Quartermaine anymore. Jane Elliot has always been the consummate professional, bringing her best to whatever she does, whether she was in a featured storyline or in the background. It’s amazing to me that she only has one Emmy win to her credit. But if there’s a reason, it’s because she hasn’t submitted her name many years, because she’s a classy lady that doesn’t believe in competition among peers.

Unquestionably, one of the all-time greats in soap opera history. It’s sad to see another stalwart from GH’s glorious, rich history going away. There aren’t many of them left. Particularly another member of The Quartermaine family, who were the pillars of GH for many years. But I respect Jane for making the decision to leave on her own, going out on her own terms, rather than being forced out because of someone else’s decision.

Thank you, Jane! It’s been a pleasure watching you for all of these years. Best to you in whatever your future holds. And please don’t stay away forever, hope to see you drop by from time to time.

It’s a shame because we have lost so many vets in the last few years. This one is particularly sad to me because I would love to see Tracy Quartermaine on the screen forever. She should be in that mansion playing with her great-grandchildren years from now! But Jane Elliot deserves to live her life. I wish her well!

UNIQUE. I have to use that word because there is absolutely nobody on daytime like Tracy. God, I’m going to miss her terribly and I will miss Jane playing her too. Thank you so much, Jane, for your always wonderful scenes as Tracy with her razor-sharp tongue. There will never be anyone like you on our soaps again. I love you!!!

GREATNESS

OK so they brought ABC back to my network satellite I use last week so yes I got sucked in and tapering her last performances and surprise Thursday’s episode in the info does not say one word about Tracy oh no it’s all about Sonny and Carly blah blah blah! FV you and Jelly are really the worse just how much money did you slide under the table for that Emmy! Jane you deserved better!

The word that comes to mind when I think of Jane Elliot is excellence. For almost 40 years there have been very few in the business to do it better. She has been part of the heart and soul of General Hospital for so long, it’s hard to imagine the show without her. But the wheel will keep on turning, just like it always has and always will. Thank you Jane for all the years of entertainment, you will be sorely missed!

phenomenal

Jane, thank you for a wonderful ride! You are a class act! There have been so many actors on GH throughout the years that are forgettable. You my dear are NOT one of them. You will always be in my top ten. Godspeed.

It doesn’t get better than Jane Elliott. She is in the upper tier of her profession. I will miss seeing her on my TV screen as Tracy Wuatermaine. Decidedly, this last storyline was not the best, but I loved that it brought the Quartermaine’s to the fore with Monica, Ned, Dillon and even Laura. Jane and Genie paired nicely. I don’t care to see Luke again, but I am sure BFF Jane and Tony agreed to this last parting. Good luck to you Ms. Elliott.

Great episode!

I was so moved by the events over at the Q’s and in some cases it felt like Wally, Leslie, and Genie were saying goodbye to Jane (vice versa) cause there were watery eyes in all four of them even before Tracy told everyone she was leaving. Very special moment!

Wow! What an emotional powerful cliffhanger! Tracy telling everyone in the room that “she loves them and will hold all of them in her heart” and then revealing that she is leaving was the ultimate bittersweet moment. I was so happy for Tracy when she firmly said to everyone “I’m finally at peace with myself” cause it just may be the first time she can say that. She is getting to leave town on her own terms on a high note with her family, unlike all the times in the past when she left the family in disgrace, shame, or heartbreak. The lovely combination of the painting and letter from Edward was the greatest gift Tracy could receive cause it removes all that baggage that she’s carried around for decades. Tracy stated to everyone perfectly that her relationship with Edward was never simple but the words that she read has set her free. Very well stated. However, I am saddened to realize one of my five favorite female characters in GH history, and one of the most entertaining scheming memorable bad girls will be leaving Port Charles for good. I love that my girl Tracy has finally found her tranquility, but it won’t stop the viewers from wiping away the tears when she exits. LOVE TRACY! LOVE JANE!

YES! Ned is changing his last name to Quartermaine!

What a incredible unexcepted surprise and what a heartwarming tearjerker moment! Ned’s speech was just so beautiful in explaining his own reasons and the legacy of carrying on the family name! I honestly thought that the opening scene would be about him adopting Leo, but this was so much better with him making a uplifting tribute to his Q legacy with a salute to Tracy and Edward. I was fighting back the waterworks and got choked up when Ned said to Tracy “that’s okay with you?” and she said back that “nothing would make me happier” and then a tearful poignant embrace was shared between mother and son. Jane and Wally are just magic together and had another feelgood onscreen moment. This is great! Olivia and Leo can also take on the Q last name, and Ned is primed more than ever to be the new face, leader, and patriarch of the family! Hooray!

We will miss Jane Elliot as Tracy Quartermaine on #GH. Super tribute to a gifted actress..

strength and vulnerability. powerful combination.

A class act, not just a Tracy Quartermaine but as a person all on her own. A legendary and wonderful person on and off the screen! Goodbye Jane, We will miss you!

Class act

I LOVE Jane Elliott and Tracy Quardermain. She MADE this show. There’s NO ONE who could take her place. I for one will so miss her.

Unquantifiable

to give quantity to (something regarded as having only quality).

I’m certain all superlatives will be used.

I marvel at her energies. I marvel at how effortless her delivery with the most natural

it seems my word choice is “marvel” there’s no way to “quantify” what makes Jane Elliott. every facet of her being has graced our screen in one form or another

“Thank You” Ms. Elliot. heartfelt sincerity from your audience.

it seems like the last real story… Tracy had… was when that “Plague” or whatever it was… was affecting all of Port Charles…. ( if you look on YouTube ) it was in September, of 2012. where Edward gave Emma his cure/antidote. whereupon , Edward soon dies… and however this played out… I distinctively know… that Tracy spoke the very words ( my heart is waiting for ) that she would wait the rest of her life, for LOVE.

which brings me to. why oh why did TPTB make the horrible decision to kill of Joe Scully, Jr. as played by the wonderful uber sexy Richard Steinmetz. any one wants to talk about chemistry… off the charts appeal. I’d never before seen Jane Elliot as Tracy in this light. I was floored. this is the love she is talking about.

so.. for me… this is the exit I wish

watching Tracy and Laura go back and forth… if it turns out this is Laura befriending Tracy before Tracy and Luke walk off in to the sunset. so be it. heck

Quartermainia… will outlive this genre. what sterling characters… what pluses to still have Monica, Ned, and Dillon. Wheres Alice ?

PS: I think Frank, Jean, and Shelley are having the last laugh… at my expense. every time I look @Samira… when she first premiered… LOL… I hit the floor… Sabrina ‘ back.

at least Samira is making Sabrina look good

I hope now that Ned took the Q name that means Wally is going to be on contract!

When is the last time you have seen that many people in the Q living room?

Kiki looked way out of place there!

And what pisses me off more than anything, Finn is sober for a moment, he is with Hayden AND Kiki is starring right at Finn and she doesnt say OMG, ITS SILAS!!! What a bunch of lazy writing! Just so stupid. Its about Jane, can we get it right just ONCE!

It truly is the end of an era and things will never be the same! But as they say, all good things must come to an end and everybody must one day retire, even those of the royal variety….I shall certainly miss the old boy….such a jolly grand gent with an uncanny capacity for cracking the quick quip!!! Sorry…..I thought this was the tribute page for The Duke of Edinburgh, aka, Prince Philip!!!! No matter….GH’s Tracy Quartermaine is Port Charles’ closest claim to its own dynastic ruler, and as such, her touching and unforgettable swansong to friends and family as the “Princess Royal” of the Q clan was handled with all the aristocratic aplomb, regal bearing and classy proclamations worthy of any of the world’s great monarchies. Whilst she passed the torch of responsibility for preserving and protecting the family legacy to the next generation of Q’s, “Tracy Angelica” held court not only for her nearest and dearest, but all her loyal subjects who had adored and supported her through her lengthy reign as one of daytime’s most enduring and beloved drama queens. As we bade a deeply bittersweet farewell to this most formidable of Quartermaines, as well as her incomparable portrayer, Jane Eliot, it really did feel as though we were losing a precious part of our own pasts, which was probably not unlike the emotions experienced by the British people this very morning with the historic announcement of their distinguished and dutiful Duke’s pending departure to private life. Hence to all “three” I say, bravo on a job well done and may you enjoy your most richly-deserved retirements!!!! God Bless!

I have a sneaky “feeling” that with Jane Elliot leaving her role, that this might lead to Leslie Charleson to decide to be the next one to retire her role of Monica.

So many words can be used to describe the incomparable Jane Elliot. Loved your portrayal of Tracy Quartermaine. The character of Tracy Angelica Quartermaine kind of reminds me of “The Dorian Lord” of Port Charles.
