Monica Quartermaine<\/strong> died peacefully in the September 17 episode of General Hospital<\/span><\/strong>, closing out nearly five decades of history with Leslie Charleson in the role. Rory Gibson, who plays Michael, opened up about how both characters will handle the heartbreaking loss.<\/p>\n As Monica\u2019s grandson, Michael feels her death more than most.<\/strong><\/p>\n In an interview with the Soap Opera Digest<\/a>, Rory Gibson explained that Monica was his character\u2019s anchor through life\u2019s storms. \u201cMichael\u2019s life has been an unbelievable storm of chaos that is pretty unrelenting,\u201d he said. \u201cMonica has been one of the constant avenues of calm and peace\u2026 they were very close.\u201d<\/p>\n Even though Gibson joined General Hospital after Charleson\u2019s death and never shared scenes with her, the writing made clear that Michael often visited Monica. She grounded him in ways no one else could. Without her, he finds himself in an emotional spiral.<\/p>\n The weight of these scenes fell heavily on Gibson, but he credits Steve Burton, who plays Jason, for helping him bring authenticity to Michael\u2019s grief. \u201cMost of the scenes that I have regarding Monica are with Steve,\u201d Gibson revealed. \u201cThe depth of emotion that he brought with him made it easy work on my part\u2026 it was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n As Monica\u2019s son, Jason carries a different but equally crushing grief. Gibson described Burton\u2019s work as unforgettable. \u201cI was just playing off of Steve the whole time, and Steve, in these scenes, oh my God. He just really brought it. It was intense stuff, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n Burton\u2019s performance struck such a chord that even the crew felt it. \u201cHe had a couple of scenes that had our directors crying up in the booth,\u201d Gibson said. Jason breaking the news of Monica\u2019s death brings one of the most vulnerable sides of the character fans have ever seen.<\/p>\n With Rory Gibson and Steve Burton guiding this story, General Hospital fans can expect a farewell that honors the legacy of Leslie Charleson as Monica Quartermaine.<\/p>\n The post General Hospital\u2019s Rory Gibson on How Michael & Jason Will Deal With Monica\u2019s Death<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Monica Quartermaine died peacefully in the September 17 episode of General Hospital, closing out nearly five decades of history with Leslie Charleson in the role.
