General Hospital: Monica & Lesley Reunite 

It would be fun. The audience can write these shows better than the people they hire do.

fwdthinker Krystle and Alexis😂😂😂

@@tanedasmith9370 Yep. Because they had a grudging respect underneath it all, too.

@@fwdthinker Viki & Dorian got alone way better Brooke and Erica hated Brooke real bad.

Someone once called that "The slap heard around the world", and I immediately found that episode and watched it. Damn good soap opera slap.

"Leslie and Denise have remained friends.." what? Denise Alexander IS Leslie...

@@LancePie Denise Alexander plays Lesley Webber; Leslie Charleson plays Monica Quartermaine. What Mark W is saying is that Denise Alexander and Lesley Charleson are very good friends, and have remained good friends over the years.

They got older and finally mature, they are in a professional setting they can't call each other slut and prude.

My favorite couple!!!!! The summer of 81 WAITING for them to get back together! If they weren't on for the day, I usually didn't watch!

It's her house. Alan gave it to her

Back in the day, people were politer on soap operas, to one another. Reality show arguing has sank into our pop culture. A slight disparaging glance or raised eyebrow was enough

My god this stinks definitely not like the late 70s and 80s

@@jacifertik7038 exactly..what happened to the writing? It is not reality tv.

i agree! the mob has to go away!

Cydalia Acevedo but the mob has been around for 37 years.. remember Luke working for Frank Smith during the time the rape story brought GH a lot of ratings? So please stop bitching about things that are around much longer and even helped them success

im not the only who has an issue with this and i can say what i want

Totally agree. People state that the mob has been around since Frank Smith and they are right.The show though made it a point that the hospital was the focus and the other stories were just an added feature. However if you go watch the Frank Smith story Frank was using various businesses around PC to make himself look legit. General Hospital being the big one. Trying to buy his seat(and it worked for awhile) on the board and using Lee's law firm as well. When he was caught Steve Hardy didn't want his kind associated with GH. When that was over The Cassidines tried to use GH as a way to get in good with the Ice Princess tale. When that ended the oil scam story that introduced Emma Saams as Holly Sutton. Using everyone at GH to invest in something that didn't exist. Oil in Port Charles. When she was found out Robert and Luke went to find her because it was their fault that the hospital got involved in the first place and many invested on their advice. When that was over it was the introduction of Grant Putnam/Andrews . The ortho doctor at GH who turned out to be a DVX spy and using GH and the Q's as apart of his cover. I could go on and on but throughout the 80's into the early 90's the hospital was always the focus. Today's GH makes Sonny the Don of Port Charles look like a philanthropist and it is okay and the hospital is now secondary to his endless mob tales. The show should promote Sonny as a villain. He isn't supposed to be a character to be adored and admired. It is the good guys who are portrayed as the villains and that is wrong and then they wonder why the audience is tuning out. First it was Scotty to be thrown under the bus for Luke to be the hero all because he caught on even though he raped Laura. What made it worse it was okay for Laura to fall in love with him. That is why I never have bought into the Luke and Laura hype. Then when Sonny came along AJ was the one to be thrown under repeatedly by both Sonny and Carly. AJ should have been a character when he came back in 2012 to have a power base and a legit one and did it without the Quartermaines'(meaning Edward)influence to go toe to toe with Sonny an knock Sonny and Carly off the high horse they built for themselves and selling it to Michael. but no. Why? Because the show always has to make Sonny(along with Carly, Jason and Sam) the star! That just the way it is and then they wonder why the struggle ratings wise. At some point you have to come up with something fresh which equals change and the mob along Sonny has been played out. After awhile even the adventure tales with the WSB gang became stale which morphed into another great era of GH which was BJ/Maxie's heart,Stone's AIDS along with Robin's HIV status and Monica's breast cancer I truly believe the show lost its way to the point of no return was clear back in 2002 when the show made the bonehead decision to make Rick Webber a murderer and have Scotty murder him By far the worst storyline to ever come out of GH because it ruined so much long time history. I've come to the conclusion that people who do root for Sonny and Carly and the mob mentality because they do not watch the show in its heyday when characters and stories were layered and what was always known the hospital would always remain strong. Frankly because it is all they know. I still watch because I love the vets but the new characters do not hold my interest simply because they are given sub par material and their characters are poorly fleshed out.

Mindy S Simply people are sick of Sonny and Jason. I agree that mafia stuff with them has been lame for a lot of years.

Stephanie Racine nsuahyah Wii hyyehyehyr why ehyeyeiy

What does that mean?

I do not think Denise has had any surgery. But Leslie obviously has.

Jackie Zeman's is kinda worse but her & these 2 ladies still look nice to be honest. Do you still watch GH now or nah?

I have not watch GH in ever . I use too watch it in the mid 80's till the mid 90's then I started to work nights and Soaps disappeared . I'm thinking of starting to watch Denise Alexander on Another World .

Wait, you think Denise Alexander got plastic surgery? Also, are you on twitter or FB?

JJ Best absolutely did get surgery .

Bobby Whalen Hmmm.... I can't tell that she did man... lol If so, where? She looks more like her old self than the others mentioned .

Marvin Newbill if they do that and do more hospital scenes and less mob and police station scenes I would start watching again

@@cathybernard3325 that's exactly how I feel too !

It doesn’t move!

MsTexas73 Or Erica and Brooke from AMC.

Now like you said Dorian n Vicki did love each other and they love each other's too

They were friends...when Leslie came back from the dead Monica came over to talk to her as her friend.b

@@marlynrobinson4930 and Lesley called her a bitch that day. :)

Lesley Webber says I predate you and she is right Lesley Webber is turning 80 this year while Monica Quartermine is just turned 74 . Lesley Webber was already a Doctor at GH while Monica Quartermine was in College

Bad plastic surgery. When she talks half her face doesn't move.

sandra sanders I totally agree with you the writers now know absolutely nothing about about writing for a soap opera

I'm tired of writers being too lazy to review the characters' history and past storylines. They get paid well enough to do that, I think.

Why would the writers write for dead people

Ha ha!!!!

IKR! Tragic. That's one thing DOOL and YR have over GH. They utilize their veteran actors.

@@MsTexas73 DOOL yes. As for Y&R...

Oh, they forgot that a LONG time ago. When Lesley was found alive in 1996, the writers had completely forgotten that she was married to Rick when she died! They weren't shown onscreen together for another 6 years (and let's not even get into what they did to Rick Webber in 2002). Back when she first came back and was barely talking still, Lesley referred to Monica (to a teenaged Lucky) as a 'horse's ass'...so again, their friendship in 1984 had long been forgotten about by the time this scene happened in 2013.

Again, I ask, "And these two are NOT on screen enough, and in scenes TOGETHER enough, why?" Foolish not to utilize two of GH's FINEST actors still on their game when given the material. SMDH.

MsTexas73 I was going to bring up the same thing. Lester is Leslie C.'s nickname and in particular the person who called her this was Stuart Damon, who played Alan. They seem to forget alot of things over the years, it's more because when one writer takes over they want to put their own spin on it. Its like when they age a child, the things that particular child has faced thus far are forgotten. I.e. Lesley Lu Spencer or Lulu had some sort of cancer and received a bone marrow transplant using Nicolas as the donor, but when Sam's son faced a bone marrow transplant, to my knowledge it was never mentioned and Alexis was Nik's Auntie you'd think it would at least have been brought up. All soaps are like that, its just almost like new writers read nothing of the shows history though. Just thought id say :)

Right. The fact that none of the writers over the past decade seem to connect storylines with the history; especially when it is relevant...tragic.

+Jimmy Hollywood Those were GH's best years but really except for spouting the history, how people spoke, behaved, their true relationships were disregarded and ignored.

She hasn't appeared since Halloween 2013. Its Genie's 40th anniversary with GH. Who know's what'll happen by years end of 2017. xo

@MD B Well! Wow!Very interesting!

I just read it myself, she never dies, she was held by the Cassadines in a catonic state.....This rivals the Dallas "Dream Season" explanation...

Sandy R-w When Gloria Monty came on the scene in the late 70's, is when Monica, Rick, Diana & Heather were recast.

You may not recognize this Monica due to her plastic surgery.

@@tragicprincess8414 To be fair... this isn't the original Monica. The first lasted for almost a year before Leslie Charleson took over.

@@marcelparker6755 I'm not sure Sandy R-w was talking about the original Monica.

She was drugged up and held captive by Helena Cassidine. She reappeared in 1997.

Watch Goku5 Luke and Laura Cassadine playlist. It says her site has not content, but if you click on playlist, this will give you the full enchilada of "Twist of Fate" - when Lesley Webber was brought back. It was riveting.

Yes

For the third question: I think Helena kidnapped Leslie when Laura was held prisoner by stavros. When Laura had Nikolas, she had found out Luke was still alive and she went to find him. She wanted to take Nikolas with her but Helena blocked her by taking Leslie. She "killed" Leslie and threatened to kill Laura if she tried to make contact with Nikolas. That came out in 96 when Nikolas first arrived in port Charles, however im not sure if they changed that storyline

@Don X ?WHAT????!

Made to look like she died in 1984 but came back in 1997 or so. Soaps do this all the time.

+jasperwellington11 More than that. Monica was responsible for Lesley's miscarriage that left Lesley unable to have children ever again

WOW I didn't know that..yes ok that's permanent shit list qualification number 1 if I was Lesley
