This idea posits Monica, bedridden but fueled by fury over Drew’s “remorseless menace” behavior — like his affair with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), blackmailing and manipulations — musters the strength for a final act, perhaps with help from her manservant Yuri (Cyrus Hobbi).
It’s a way to give Monica a fiery exit, honoring her legacy amid rumors of Leslie Charleson’s real-life passing in January.
But fans are divided — some love the twist for its soap opera flair, while others decry it as tarnishing Charleson’s esteemed reputation as the Quartermaine matriarch. Will this theory hold water, or fizzle out?
A Quartermaine Legacy is at Stake
The theory hinges on Monica’s deep-rooted disdain for Drew’s antics, viewing him as a disgrace to the family name — especially after his twin Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) heroic image.
Bedridden, she could orchestrate the shooting via Yuri, then confess on her deathbed, framing it as a last stand against Drew’s toxicity.
This creative spin adds irony, as Monica’s past scandals — like her affair with Dr. Pierce Dorman (Tuc Watkins) — shows she’s no stranger to drama.
Fans see it as a nod to her fierce protectiveness, but the idea of her pulling the trigger — even indirectly — feels out of character to some, risking a stain on Charleson’s portrayal of a resilient survivor.
GH Spoilers Leak Fan Backlash Screams of Tarnishing a Legend’s Reputation
Many fans are up in arms, arguing this plot would leave a permanent blemish on Leslie Charleson’s legacy, turning Monica from a beloved matriarch into a vengeful killer. Social media is ablaze with comments like, “Monica deserves a graceful exit, not this mess!”
Others worry it undermines Charleson’s decades of nuanced work, especially if tied to her real-life health issues. While some embrace the shock value for ratings, the consensus is that staining Monica’s character dishonors Charleson’s contributions.
Alternative theories — like Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) or Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) as shooters — gain traction to preserve Monica’s dignity.
A Dramatic Exit or Plot Twist Ahead?
If this theory plays out, Monica’s “shot” at Drew could spark a Quartermaine civil war, with Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) defending the family honor.
But fans speculate a twist: perhaps Monica fakes involvement to protect someone else, like a new character stepping in as her ally, maybe even Tracy, her longtime nemesis/sister-in-law.
With Charleson’s status uncertain, this could be GH’s way to bid farewell, but backlash might force a rewrite. Will Monica’s legacy endure unscathed, or will this theory redefine her?
