TV Insider is bestowing Performer of the Week honors on Daytime Emmy<\/a> winners Jane Elliot<\/a> and Erika Slezak<\/a> for their performances as, respectively, Tracy Angelica Quartermaine and Veronica \u201cRonnie\u201d Bard as General Hospital<\/em><\/a>\u2018s\u00a0storyline involving who inherited Monica\u2019s house came to a climax.<\/p>\n Tracy faced a dilemma. Her family insisted that she apologize to Ronnie over how she treated her before (and after) Ronnie decided not to sell the family home to Drew (Cameron Mathison<\/a>). However, it was clear in the confident stance Elliot brought to Tracy that she had the truth on her side. Monica\u2019s actual will left her<\/em> (not Ronnie) the mansion.<\/p>\n Tracy invited Ronnie over to the mansion, but was she truly going to apologize? That\u2019s not something Tracy does, as longtime fans of the character can attest. Still, she sought strength to do what she felt she had to by looking at a photo of her late brother, Alan (Stuart Damon<\/a>), and his wife, Monica (Leslie Charleson<\/a>).<\/p>\n Ronnie knew that Tracy\u2019s family had laid down an ultimatum; she was willing to hear what Tracy had to say.<\/p>\n \u201cYou attempted to hoodwink my family out of our estate,\u201d Tracy said, practically stammering as she poured coffee for herself and her guest. \u201cLuckily, you were unsuccessful, and I think you probably came clean to avoid a lengthy legal battle. But I am very grateful that you admitted your fraud. And I am very sorry\u2026if my reaction to your flagrant deceit upset you.\u201d<\/p>\n Yep, that\u2019s pretty much we expected \u2014 and for Tracy, it was actually pretty good. An \u201cI\u2019m sorry you\u2019re upset\u201d was the best Tracy was going to do.<\/p>\n Ronnie didn\u2019t want to deprive Tracy\u2019s family of their home, so she informed Tracy that she\u2019d tell them that she apologized. \u201cGreat! No time like the present,\u201d Tracy gleefully responded. \u201cChop, chop!\u201d (Elliot brings a sharp wit to her character, which allows Tracy to infuse tense moments with relatable humor.)<\/p>\n Slezak\u2019s Ronnie may have started out as a con artist (Tracy\u2019s not wrong about that), but once she agreed to be honest, her portrayer was able to delve into different levels of Ronnie\u2019s persona. Ronnie complimented Tracy on always protecting her family. \u201cI was protecting them from you,\u201d Tracy flatly pointed out.<\/p>\n And Ronnie thanked her doing so. She acknowledged that she had made a mistake that the rest of her family had forgiven her. Ronnie noted that the difference between her and Tracy was that she admitted she\u2019d done something wrong. \u201cWell, because I didn\u2019t,\u201d Tracy shrugged. A lesser actress might have resorted to screaming that line out, but Elliot let the simple fact speak for itself.<\/p>\n At this point in the episode, it didn\u2019t look like Tracy\u2019s family was ever coming back to the house because she simply wasn\u2019t going to budge. What had she done wrong?<\/p>\n
