In the whirlwind that was January 2025 on General Hospital, one name stood out above the rest as an unforgettable force of nature—Jane Elliot. Her portrayal of Tracy Quartermaine, as fierce as a hurricane, captured the hearts and imaginations of fans, earning her the prestigious title of Performer of the Month with a staggering 70% of the vote.
Tracy’s fire and fury lit up the screen as she fought tooth and nail to keep her grandkids, Wiley and Amelia, close to family—specifically, Monica Quartermaine. In her relentless pursuit to protect them from Willow’s grasp, Tracy was not just a character but an emotional storm, colliding with everyone around her. Elliot’s performance transcended anger, showcasing a raw vulnerability in her interactions, especially in her more tender moments with Vernee Watson’s Stella. These layered performances made Tracy’s fire not only compelling but deeply human.
But Tracy wasn’t the only one making waves in Port Charles this month. A number of strong performances kept the drama flowing. Katelyn MacMullen (Willow) had a rollercoaster of a month, balancing the weight of Michael’s tragic accident and a fierce custody battle while dealing with a maze of legal and emotional obstacles. She was a tour de force, handling the chaos with grace and power, making her one of the standout nominees.
Curtis Ashford, played by Donnell Turner, also commanded attention this month. Navigating the treacherous waters of corporate power, his sharp business acumen and decisive moves made him an essential player in the drama unfolding, particularly with his fiery confrontations with Drew. Curtis’ ability to stand his ground and make bold decisions brought him squarely into the mix for Performer of the Month honors.
Meanwhile, Laura Wright (Carly Corinthos) brought a powerhouse emotional range to her scenes in January. Whether she was grappling with her son’s safety or taking on the difficult task of dealing with Willow’s medical proxy, Wright’s performance was nothing short of captivating. The dramatic tension escalated as Carly ventured to Germany in search of a treatment for Michael, culminating in a passionate kiss with Brennan (Charles Mesure) that added a fiery new layer to Carly’s storyline.
But it was Jane Elliot’s Tracy who ultimately dominated January. Her masterclass in delivering a multi-dimensional character, who could be fierce and vulnerable in equal measure, earned her fans’ admiration and secured her the top spot for this month’s Performer of the Month. Tracy’s battles, especially her verbal sparring with Michael E. Knight’s Martin, brought out her sharpest and most compelling moments, showcasing Elliot’s unparalleled ability to switch gears from icy to warm-hearted in the blink of an eye.
In a month filled with explosions—both literal and emotional—Jane Elliot proved that Tracy Quartermaine’s power is truly unshakeable. A hurricane of talent, Elliot brought a thunderous energy to every scene, making her the undeniable star of January 2025.
Tracy may have had the storm, but Jane Elliot brought the heart. Fans were here for every bit of it.
