Jane Elliot Came On Board As Tracy Quartermaine About A Year Later Than Leslie Charleson

Jane Elliot joined the ABC soap a year later as Tracy Quartermaine, sister to Alan Quartermaine (Stuart Damon); initially, Monica was married to Jeff Webber (then Richard Dean Anderson).

For over forty years, Monica and Tracy were in conflict-however, as time passed, their relationship changed into one of mutual respect and even friendship. When Jason informed Tracy of Monica’s death, she was heartbroken.

Steve Burton and Jane Elliot received high praise on social media for their performances as the grieving characters. The news of Monica’s passing continues to circulate in Port Charles, resulting in more heartbreaking reactions.

Drew Has A Horrific Reaction To Monica’s Death

However, one character reacts unexpectedly to the loss; Monica and her son, Drew, had a disagreement months prior to her passing and never made amends.

Cameron Mathison Talked About His Character’s Reaction To His Mother’s Death

The actor spoke with Soaps.com regarding Drew’s response to his mother’s passing; “Monica’s death is extremely traumatic for him-whether she raised him or not, she referred to him as her son.

He referred to her as his mom-there was a very significant connection between them,” he stated; Drew’s sorrow leads him to react in a manner that Cameron Mathison describes as “terrible”.

 “It’s so awful,” he remarked-what does Drew do, he stops Jason’s son, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), from comforting Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante), Drew’s daughter, about the loss of their grandmother.

Danny and Scout’s mother, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco), was killed last year-this cruel action is intended to hurt Jason by targeting his son.

Cameron Talked About Why Drew Hates His Brother So Much
