General Hospital Legend Jane Elliot Returns To Soap For 60th Anniversary

Posted by Valentine Belue on Friday, May 17, 2024

April 1, 1963, saw the premiere of "General Hospital," and, while the show has changed in the 60 years hence, it's still going strong. ABC released a video on YouTube to celebrate the anniversary. It highlighted several memorable stories and scenes from the show's history, and the tagline states: "THIS YEAR ON #GH... we're turning 60 in style! Get ready for a celebration worthy of Port Charles, because we're not stopping anytime soon." 

With anticipation running high for the anniversary month, it was announced at the winter TV Critics press tour that actress Jane Elliot will return as Tracy Quartermaine in April 2023. Soap Hub reported that the annual General Hospital Nurses Ball will also be returning to the show, speculating whether or not Tracy would be among the performers. 

Tracy and the legendary Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) got married and settled in Amsterdam in 2017. In 2021, Tracy returned to Port Charles with the devastating news that Luke had been killed in a cable car accident. However, Soaps theorizes that a hero like Luke wouldn't go out so easily — especially off-screen — and Geary might be a surprise return with Elliot.

We would be over-the-moon if Luke returned for one last battle with the evil Cassadine family — and then given a proper heroic sendoff with Tracy. One can only hope!
