Fantastic news General Hospital fans! Daytime Emmy winner and longtime fan favorite, Jane Elliot is reprising her signature soap role as Tracy Quartermaine just in time for the holidays.
According to EW.com who broke the news, Eliot will make her appearances beginning in December, when Tracy comes home to Port Charles, and is embroiled in the ELQ family business.
Elliot’s last episode on GH aired May 4, 2017 when Jane made the decision to to exit.
Her character left Port Charles by telling her family she was ready to have her own life, away from the shadow of her father. A later episode revealed that Tracy settled in Amsterdam after meeting up with Luke (Tony Geary).
Jane began playing the role of Tracy back in 1978.
So excited to hear Tracy Q will be home for a visit and to stir up some trouble? Comment below.
Looking forward to seeing her!
I can’t wait! Tracy and Jane have been sorely missed. The Quartermaines need her to shake things up in a big way.
I loved Tracy. She was a great actress. Hated seeing her go, but 39 yrs WOW. It’ll be nice seeing her again. Hoping she livens it up a bit.
Whoa!! Best GH news I’ve heard all year!!! Can’t wait…and welcome back!!
Love Jane Elliot!
So excited for her return. she is always such a fire.. welcome home. Even for a min.
for how long…show wasnt the same when she was gone
is it a visit? or will It be for a run? whatever the reason talk about early xmas gift, she looks great in the pic above love the grey hair. she’s totally rockin it..
the pic from EW.com I meant the one above she looks good too, lol, Im so excited.
Even a couple of Christmas episodes will be worth it. Jane is brilliant and fun, and has been missed.
Oh my god!!! This is GREAT news!!! I am so excited and can’t wait to see Tracy/Monica scenes!!! This made my whole year!!!
YEA!!!
What would the Hellidays be without a good old fashioned Q family verbal throwdown?
Any chance Luke comes along for the ride??
Jane is not ‘returning 🙁
She’s a stop in to show us what we’re missing.
Somehow, it’s not right without her love Tony..
What would be awesome great;
Tracy and Luke together in love and happy..
that ^^ I’d really be excited over 🙂
Yay! This is the best news. Love her❤❤
Great news of her return! I missed her tough character and snarky remarks with occasional vulnerability to be compassionate. Welcome back Tracy.
Great news! Finally something to look forward to.
It’s a Christmas miracle!
Should be some great banter between Tracy and Brook Lynn. Love that they still have Setton referring to her as “granny”.
It’ll be a great time in Monica’s house, which Alan gave to her (because he was an idiot).
great great news
OMG!!!Thank you for the early Christmas present!! Love, Love Jane Elliot!!!
Merry Christmas! I dont see her being on too long, after all, she is retired. I just hope she stirs up some trouble and rectifies some weak cracks in the great Quartermaine legacy! Her and Ned are always great. She will chew Brooklyn a new you know what! Tracy never liked Louis. Oh, and send Mikey to the coffee house! He is no ELQ executive! Leave that to Ned! PS: Maybe Jane can comeback part time and be more of a Lila type of fixture?
Well this should be a real treat!
I hope she brings jars of Pickled Lila and Artisan crackers. LOL. That was the most stomach turning story line watching the actors scarf down relish on crackers. For months.
Love Tracy, love Jane Elliot. So glad she’s dropping in Port Charles for however long her visit lasts. GH has missed her trademark wit and sarcasm. She looks fantastic with her grey hair in the current pic of her in the EW article. It’s refreshing to see an actress of a certain vintage that isn’t concerned with trying to look younger than she is. Welcome back, Jane!
Yes! But how long is Jane going to stay
Cannot wait. Great news.
Can’t wait to see Tracy and all the trouble she is going to stirup, one of my favorite Quartermaine, welcome back Tracy we miss you.
In an infuriating article written by FOX news, off of a study from NewsBusters, the news outlet and others have come to the realization that all of us who want our soaps back on the air already know. That is … that the network daytime dramas ratings are far better on a day-to-day basis than people tuning into network TV during the day to watch the impeachment hearings of Donald Trump.
Soap fans have been furious that in the afternoon network TV is pulling their soaps off their normal airtime across all coasts. Daytime soap viewers feel that all of the 24-hour news cable outlets should be the the place to go to see the hearings during the day; as to not to preempt the drama on General Hospital, Days of our Lives, The Young and the Restless, and The Bold and the Beautiful.

Just for the record, the study via NewsBusters showed that on day one of the impeachment hearing the networks scored as such: CBS averaged 1.52 million, ABC 1.29 million viewers, and NBC averaged 1.26 million viewers. Thursday’s were even worse with CBS averaging 1.4 million, ABC 1.2 million viewers and NBC had 1.1 million viewers.
Now compare that to the weekly daytime soap ratings and total viewers which while it ebbs and slows is still way about this. According to the study: “The Young & The Restless” has been averaging 3.7 million viewers during the 2019-2020 season and The Bold & The Beautiful averages 3.15 million viewers. ABC’s General Hospital averages 2.15 million viewers while NBC’s Days of Our Lives averages 1.95 million viewers.”

Very exciting and hopeful news Days of our Lives fans, and those of the soap genre, coming out of the NBC Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, California Saturday morning.
During the lead-off executive session, NBC Chairman Paul Teledgy opened up about the status of Days of our Lives with the network since no official announcement had been made on their end as to the renewal pick-up of the beloved daytime drama.
However, Teledgy revealed: “We are in a middle of finding out very soon,” and then added, “Of course Days of Our Lives is going to carry on. We love it. Millions of Americans watch it every week. I know that will be good news for the fans.”
Teledgy also told Deadline after the executive session that negotiations are still ongoing and the series will stay on NBC, and will not be moving onto the upcoming Peacock streaming service said to bow very soon.
The chairman’s comments come nearly two months following DAYS executive producer, Ken Corday’s comments to the cast that the show had been renewed for its upcoming season. That came on the heels that for cost-cutting measures, during the dark months, that the cast had been let- \out of their contracts.
But as usual at this time of year, NBC, Sony (the soap’s distributor) and Corday Productions are engaged it the renewal window which also happens at fall at the beginning of the new year.
Now, it looks like there is no doubt there is more Salem to come! Buckle-up for more intriguing stories within the series innovative time jump in the coming months … and that the four networks soaps are all here to stay for now.
