GH's Farewell To Tracy Quartermaine Promo: Countdown To Jane Elliot's Last Episode!
Courtesy/ABC
She is in a class all by herself, and now GH and daytime fans are preparing themselves to say farewell to the the character of Tracy Quartermaine and her portrayer Jane Elliot.
Tomorrow on the Thursday May 4th episode of the ABC daytime drama series, Tracy will exit the canvas. Look for a guest appearance by Tony Geary as Luke Spencer, too!
To acknowledge their longtime castmate, several GH stars participated in this newly release promo for the episode including: Dominc Zamprogna, Chad Duell, Maurice Benard, Emme Rylan, Laura Wright and Finola Hughes.
Watch the “Farewell to Tracy” promo after the jump! Then let us know what one word you think best describes Jane Elliot’s performances as Tracy Quartermaine in the comment section below!
FORMIDABLE!!!!!!!!
“Thats what she is. Formidable, though near or far. Like a song of love that clings to her. How the thought of her does things to me. Never before has she been Formidable.”
“Sir Timmm King Cole!” Who knew you had such musical talent??? First you rescue damsels in distress—-then serenade them, too!
Born too late, I was….or you too soon, my Knight, Sir Timmmbo!!
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!!!
I agree, Jimh. I am not a fan of Finn or Hayden, at all. Way too much airtime is spent on trying to prop up Rebecca Budig. She just doesn’t fit in Port Charles, in my opinion.
“Thank You” JimH and @dmr. i’m not saying SOD is the bible… just saying that “respected’ reviews resonate.
the very word that is spoken… “Isolated” pairing
isolated… what’s the point in building Finn and Hayden when they do not interact with anyone on the canvass.
case in point.. what an insult to Jane Elliott.. when she is propped to feature characters who are not resonating… Finn and Hayden are DOA. dead on arrival… what’s the point in featuring this pair?
JE did this with Sabrina… I admit that. JE did this with nuLULU. JE even did this with, Luke. I will fire away with this . I’m certain with no storyline.. this was her catalyst
if GH was not going to build on the Quartermainia… farewell… to the best
so what does GH do ? with Finn and Hayden?
Finn is a functioning addict. EXPLETIVE. who no longer cares… who gives a rats ass. so effing what. after Tracy is gone.. what’s his connection? Brad ? who’s been the best part of his presence on this show. Hayden can forgive him time and again.. dismal.. and a lost cause. this pairing has been spared for too long. what’s the point. ? because they are VETS ? because they are .. what? fan favorites ? I don’t get it. waste of time money and at the expense of fired actors who belong.
Great post Haskel!
I do hope this gives more airtime to the beloved Leslie Charleston. Who apparently is the last man standing. (From the 70s.). I wish her luck but I don’t know that she has the stamina for s front burner story line.
Laura, Scotty and Bobbie all joined around the same time that LC took over the role of Monica.
I stand corrected.
PHENOMENAL !!!!!!!!!!!!
Micheal. Saw your name in the credits as a producer.
Thank you so very much for doing this for us.
Yes, thank you!
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.
Awwwww, Michelle. I’m sure your Mom is still watching; pleased with Jane’s memorable sendoff. God Bless
I have a million memories of watching soaps with my mom who is also gone. Yes – bittersweet!
Same here…i started with my mom…back in the late 60s we watched around 12 soaps at the same time…i was constantly switching channels if one show was opposite the other…and i had to do it by hand…no remote or vcr!!!
It’s another ending…and when it’s tied up to such a profound loss it’s that much more. Understand….
Thank you for posting this. I feel so strongly that we ‘of a certain age” were brought up by stay at home moms who shared their “stories” with us were very much influenced by this story telling.
My sister put it best , whenever I watch GH I think of sitting on the floor in front of my mother as we’re watched and she combed my hair. These soaps are a connection to those memories . I like many of you was missing my mom who has passed but loved Tracy!
God bless you all !
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. Mine too passed away at way to young of an age (My mom was 49 years old when she passed away). It was her, too, that first introduced me to General Hospital, back when I was about probably twelve (12) years old, or so (I happen to be about 4 months away from turning 25 years old — as we here speak). My very first episode I saw with her was a pretty epic one. It was back when the character of Carly Corinthos (THEN played / portrayed by actress Tamara Braun) walked into her own funeral, alive and well. I then over the years to follow remember secretly comparing my Mom and Dad’s complicated relationship / marriage …to the characters of Carly and Sonny.
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.”
Before I watched her in GH.I thought she was awesome on Guiding Light..I hadn’t seen her on G H then .Being a guiding Light fan, G H was not the show I watched. Jane is great. I was looking forward to coming back to watch her exit, now Tony Geary returning. I don’t know if I will bother. I have np respect for that guy the way he stuck it to his fans and Genie. Maybe I will dvr it so I can FF his face and voice. best to Jane. She seems to be a class act, even being friends with Tony.
Hope you didn’t fast forward the Geary cameo. You would have missed the HAIR. No words, just hair.
@Steve….There are no words for that hair!!!!
So, exactly WHO was that comically-coiffed cafe’ customer???? Luke, Fluke, yet another Spencer-inspired doppelganger or was this mystery man merely a figment of Tracy’s fertile imagination after one too many of those “space cakes???” Holy Cliffhanger!!!!
Steve I went back today, because the news took over the show. I decided to see what was on, and it was nice to see young Ned, tracy and Monica ,not snipping. mutual respect. I saw the hair. What exactly does Tony do in Amsterdam? that is the worst Geary hair so far. It was a nice send off for Jane. She is one hell of an actress.
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!!!
That goes to show how really great actors and actresses we are lucky to have grace our television screns and or computer screens and or just general device screens … over these years
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.
Bravo on a beautiful post!
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!
So many things to say…
1) Do you think they control the episode description for the day?
2) Do you really think they bribed to win the Emmy?
3) If you’re so upset, why do you watch?
4) Check for grammar & spelling before you post.
AJ -you are a riot! Lol
Too funny, AJ. I am one of the culprits who does not check before posting, albeit I try.
I usually post in the speed of light….in a hurry. LOL. Forgive me??
With the speed of light, not in….oops. LOL.
Who sucked you in? Are you being held captive? Do you need help?
Let’s call the police and get her out of GH PRISON ! Funny funny post
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!
Another great post, Jay Trotter. If it’s any consolation, she said in the complete Michael Logan interview that she could possibly visit down the road…no promises and waaaaay down the road it would seem if she did. Maybe she’ll surprise us. Leaving the door open always feels better!
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!
Again, I agree. Got misty, too. I’m just hoping this means Wally Kurth is in it for the long haul and it wasn’t just some symbolic, poetic moment for the viewers. Love Ned.
Oh Mr. T another great post that I hope comes true. Soaps are best when they are centered on a family and drama that surrounds them. You can’t build a multigenerational story about a gangster!
Wow, Patricio….never thought about it that way. How true that is!!!! Sooo illuminating. Kudos.
Wasn’t Tracy (a Quartermaine) a part of the mob (that has to do with gangsters) back in the day?
@Patricio….No you cannot, yet that is what GH has been attempting to do for at least the last decade, if not longer. Epic fail!
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
“At least Samira is making Sabrina look good….” LOL….Who’d have ever thunk it???? (Okay, not really, but that sense of dreaded, dismal Disney damsel deja vu did kick in for a few terrifying seconds!!!!…..)
heartfelt – thank you – for the pick me up
along w/ Celia, JimH, davlestev1, jamesj75.
took a 2 month plus leave of absence , I want to say sabbatical.. from this genre.
I truly got so caught up in the political arena… I thought.. what am I doing ?
keeping up with two shows plus this “lovely” blog… and I mean that.. just a lovely sentiment to a decades plus forever heart tug.. that .. ??? has a mind of it’s own
however strong posts will… so be it.. I oft think… push the envelop… all readers are in this forum alike.
gosh.. I marvel… at the emotion … all very recognizable. I just know i’m going to miss a response that I feel.. and will catch it with another post.
do I wish … many times over.. for an edit button.
I’m certain the passion ( w/Brian ) was just that.
shucks.. I kept up .. still reading the blog.. keeping up with GH… and what stirred … two things
reading that Jane Elliott was exiting
and the upcoming emmys.. OK I’ll walk the plank.. but I just had to get my 2 cents… in on the Sonny and Carly show… ahem… MY TWO CENTS.. not much is it
so… having said all this… I enjoy this… I rally around two cents and laud all forthright
dag… I miss Days of OUR Lives… I must be waiting for Ron Carlivati writing to premiere in Salem. I haven’t watched… DAYS since Trump got elected… I have to let this go by the wayside… doesn’t even have to do with priorities.. was just so disappointed. even with GH.
the show is going on… it moves here
salute
I have wondered about Bergen Williams (Alice) for a while. I hope Bergen is doing okay.
They stopped mentioning Alice by name a few months ago. Occasionally, they’ll mention a housekeeper without a name, but nobody shouts for Alice anymore.
Stella, Jennings, Reginald and Alice — a memorable household staff!
@Patrick….Just for you!
Her hair is raven black….
Her lips spouting lies….
The ICE is on her back…
She’s got strange Samira eyes…
She’ll take the painting from you….
She won’t have to think twice…
She’s fake as Edward’s spawn…
She’s got strange Samira eyes….
@Samira, is startling
I can’t help but watch to see how her eyes fit in
it escapes me
and i’ll bid adieu
OK.. I miss Sabrina… that few seconds of chill… did me
Thak you, Patrick. I truly missed you. Between Jimh and me we kept asking, back and forth, what the heck happend to you, LOL.
I’ve already told you how glad I am to see you back, my friend. Missed your writing. Always enlightening…I follow your poetic heart!!
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.
If she is left with any role from which to retire, Ashland! In recent years, it’s been more like Monica left Leslie behind, and not vice versa!!!!
Well, when that sad day finally arrives, I hope Monica’s last frame will be one in which she is reunited with her son, AJ— you know, the only true Quartermaine heir—and we learn that he is alive and well after surviving a near-death experience and lengthy, deep coma that continued through these last two GH writing regimes!
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.
I completely agree, Ashland!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric
With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
