GH: Monica Dies This Week – Big Returns for Her Funeral! | Soap Dirt

You’re listening to Soap Dirt, the latest in television entertainment news. Hey, General Hospital fans—this is Belinda—and unfortunately, we’ve got some very sad news to share.

It looks like Monica Quartermaine does, in fact, pass away this week. That means we’re about to begin the heartbreaking process of watching the Quartermaines, and really the entire town of Port Charles, come together to say goodbye to the beloved matriarch of one of daytime’s most iconic families.

Now, we all know how much Monica has meant to this show for decades. From her early days as a brilliant but often headstrong doctor, through her complicated marriage to Alan, and of course her battles with Tracy, Monica has been the glue that’s kept the Quartermaines in the spotlight.

So her funeral isn’t just another storyline—it’s a turning point. It’s a moment that could redefine the Quartermaines’ place on the canvas going forward.

But of course, with every soap funeral comes the big question: who’s coming back to Port Charles for this? And I think this is where things get really exciting for longtime fans.

Let’s start with the obvious: Jason Morgan. How could GH not bring Jason back for his mother’s funeral? Whether it’s a short-term return or something more long-term, Jason showing up to honor Monica would be huge.

Fans have been begging for Steve Burton’s return in a meaningful way, and this could be the perfect moment. Imagine Jason walking into the Quartermaine mansion, seeing Michael, Drew, Sam—there’s so much story potential there.

Next, let’s talk about Ned. We’ve seen Ned here and there, but Monica’s funeral could bring the full Quartermaine clan together in a way we haven’t seen in years. Brook Lynn, of course, will be front and center, but don’t be surprised if Lois shows up too.

With Monica gone, Tracy is suddenly the elder stateswoman of the family—and you know she’s going to have opinions. Watching Tracy and Lois clash while grieving could give us that perfect balance of heartbreak and humor GH does so well.

Another return I think fans would love? Dillon Quartermaine. He’s been absent for so long, but Monica was always such a grounding force for him. Bringing him back, even briefly, would remind viewers of the Quartermaines’ legacy and give Brook Lynn someone else to lean on.

And let’s not forget about past loves and rivals. Will we see Leslie Webber pay her respects? Could Monica’s history with Jeff and Naomi resurface in some unexpected way? Soap funerals are never just about grief—they’re about reigniting old tensions and planting seeds for the next big arc.

So yes, it’s incredibly sad to say goodbye to Monica, but from a storytelling standpoint, this is massive. It opens the door for fan-favorite returns, family drama, and new beginnings. Port Charles won’t be the same without her, and that’s exactly why the writers are going to lean into this.

Stay tuned, because Soap Dirt will keep you updated on who’s confirmed, who’s rumored, and what Monica’s farewell means for the future of GH.
