The passing of Leslie Charleson, the beloved actress behind General Hospital’s Monica Quartermaine, marks the end of an era for Port Charles. Monica’s presence in the Quartermaine mansion was a cornerstone of the show for decades, and now fans are left wondering: who will inherit this iconic home?
The mansion has long been a symbol of Monica’s strength, devotion to her family, and her unshakable love for her children. But with her death, the question remains—who will step into the shoes of this legacy? Here are the top contenders to inherit the Quartermaine estate.
Jason Morgan: The Golden Boy Who Might Walk Away
For years, Jason (Steve Burton) was Monica’s pride and joy—her golden boy. Despite the trauma of his memory loss and a life that took him far away from the Quartermaines, Monica’s love for her son remained unwavering. Their bond was one of the most touching aspects of General Hospital, and it’s safe to say that Jason’s heart will be broken by her passing.
However, Jason has distanced himself from the Q family, leaving behind the mansion and a life filled with high-stakes danger. He has no desire for the grandeur of the Quartermaine estate, but it’s possible that he might choose to keep it for the sake of his sons, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Jake (Hudson West). Though Jason may not want the mansion for himself, he could find it in his heart to maintain Monica’s legacy for their future.
Michael Corinthos: The Grandson Who’s Always Been Family
Monica’s love for her only grandson, Michael (Chad Duell), was undeniable. Despite his complex relationship with the Q family, Michael was always welcomed with open arms by Monica, who cherished their bond. As AJ’s son and a Quartermaine by blood, Michael could very well be the next in line to inherit the mansion.
However, with Michael’s unpredictable future and his current time away from Port Charles, it may not be the most practical choice for him to take on the responsibility of the estate. Additionally, with his wife Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) deeply entwined in the family drama, there are concerns about how the mansion would fit into their lives. Still, as a loyal member of the Quartermaine clan, Michael’s claim to the house remains a strong possibility.
Drew Cain: A Complicated History with Monica
Drew (Cameron Mathison), the long-lost twin of Jason, was a surprise addition to the Quartermaine family when he was discovered in 2017. Monica embraced Drew as one of her own, and they shared a warm bond. However, the new Drew—who has become embroiled in a scandalous affair with his own nephew’s wife—has soured many of his relationships with the family, including Monica’s.
Could the house be left to Drew despite his rocky path? It’s unlikely, given the changes in his character and his strained connections with Monica’s loved ones. The drama surrounding his actions might make it difficult for fans to imagine him as the heir to the Quartermaine mansion.
Tracy Quartermaine: The Unexpected Heir
Tracy (Jane Elliot) may be the dark horse in this race. Over the years, Tracy and Monica’s relationship has gone from bitter rivals to a more nuanced connection of respect, love, and friendship. Despite their differences, they ultimately came to appreciate each other in a way that was hard to deny.
Tracy’s complicated feelings about Monica’s ownership of the mansion—once a source of tension—could make her a fitting heir to the estate. She’s always been the one to push the boundaries, challenge the status quo, and stand firm in her convictions. Monica leaving the house to Tracy would be a poetic full-circle moment, a final twist in their long, intertwined history. Fans who have watched their rivalry turn into mutual respect might find this development not only fitting but satisfying. “It’s Tracy’s house. Monica left it to her” would be a fitting tribute to the journey these two women have shared.
Who Will Inherit the Mansion?
With so many twists and turns in the Quartermaine family, it’s impossible to predict who will be the next owner of the mansion. Will it be Jason, keeping the house in the family for his sons? Will Michael take on the responsibility, despite the challenges in his personal life? Or will Tracy, with her complicated history with Monica, unexpectedly inherit the home?
As we say goodbye to Monica Quartermaine, it’s clear that whoever takes the reins will have big shoes to fill. Her legacy in Port Charles will live on, and the Quartermaine mansion will always remain a symbol of family, drama, and unforgettable stories. Who do you think should inherit the mansion?
