Port Charles Remembers: Fans Celebrate Leslie Charleson and Billy Miller in Resurfaced ‘General Hospital’ Flashbacks
Fans of ABC’s General Hospital have been treated to a touching series of flashbacks as the show pays tribute to the legendary Leslie Charleson and her iconic character, Monica Quartermaine. While the daytime drama itself has featured numerous heartfelt moments during Monica’s recent memorial, several poignant clips featuring Charleson and the late Billy Miller have also gone viral across social media, bringing a wave of nostalgia and emotion to viewers.
Among the most shared throwbacks are scenes showcasing Miller in two pivotal roles he inhabited in Port Charles: first as Jason Morgan, and later as Jason’s long-lost twin, Drew Cain. These resurfaced videos highlight the remarkable on-screen chemistry and dramatic depth both actors brought to their roles.
One particularly moving clip making the rounds online features Miller as Jason, shortly after he regained his memories in 2016. In the scene, Jason seeks out Monica, expressing profound regret and understanding of the pain he caused his parents, especially in the wake of Alan Quartermaine’s passing. Viewers have lauded the raw emotion and the powerful performances from both Charleson and Miller in this memorable exchange.
Another cherished flashback captures Monica in conversation with Miller as Drew Cain. This scene takes place after Steve Burton’s return as Jason in 2017, which led to Miller’s character being revealed as Drew.
In the clip, Monica offers much-needed advice to Drew, who feels like an outcast after the revelation. His anonymous charitable donation is discussed, a moment that fans suggest reflected Miller’s own generous spirit.
Charleson, as always, delivers a stellar performance, offering comfort and wisdom.
Billy Miller departed General Hospital in 2019 when his character, Drew, was presumed dead. While Drew was later discovered alive in 2021, the role was recast with Cameron Mathison. Many longtime fans have expressed mixed feelings about the current portrayal of Drew, noting a shift in the character’s personality and actions.
The resurgence of these classic scenes takes on an even deeper significance as fans remember both actors. Billy Miller passed away in September 2022, and Leslie Charleson in January 2025. These beloved stars are profoundly missed by the General Hospital family and its dedicated audience, making these throwback moments a beautiful, yet bittersweet, celebration of their enduring legacies.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.
