Erika Slezak left the canvas with a note of appreciation and a performance that reminded viewers why she’s daytime royalty.

Ronnie’s time in Port Charles may be ending, but it’s not without a little chaos. What began as a seemingly straightforward legal maneuver turned into a tangled scam — one orchestrated by Martin, who coerced Ronnie into signing off on a forged will that nearly cost The Quartermaines their home. Her conscience flared too late, leaving her standing between Tracy’s fury and Drew’s disbelief. Now, as Erika Slezak wraps her short but memorable run on General Hospital, the six-time Daytime Emmy winner is closing this chapter with the same grace she’s always carried on-screen — and she’s left a personal message for the fans who’ve followed her every move.

A Note From Erika Slezak

On her official website, a post confirmed what many suspected — Slezak has finished taping her final scenes. Along with the announcement came a heartfelt note from the actress herself, addressed directly to the viewers who reached out.

“Thank you so much for all your emails. I am delighted that you’ve been enjoying my work on General Hospital,” Slezak wrote, later adding, “I am very grateful for the kind words you have shared with me.”

She went on to reflect on returning to daytime after years away. “It was wonderful to work again in a medium I love. My experience on GH was fantastic and I hope you continue to enjoy the show.” Before signing off, she extended her appreciation to the team behind the scenes: “An incredible group of actors and writers that I have been honored to work with.”

The Fallout in Port Charles

Classy as always, Slezak ended by thanking her adoring and loyal fans: “My sincere thanks for watching. Love, Erika.” On the November 3 episode, fans saw the tension break wide open. Tracy (Jane Elliot) finally uncovered Monica’s (the late Leslie Charleson) real will, thankfully before Ronnie could finalize the transfer of the Quartermaine mansion to Drew (Cameron Mathison). The truth — that Martin (Michael E. Knight) had forged the document — hit hard. Tracy’s victory was bittersweet; justice served, but trust shattered.

As Ronnie exits, her story leaves ripples — a reminder that even the most well-intentioned choices can twist under pressure. Slezak brought gravitas to the role and filled out the legacy of Monica by being a long-lost family member. Her portrayal of Ronnie was sincere and soulful, and you liked her right off the bat, even if it turned out she was embroiled in a scheme.
