Port Charles is buzzing with drama, and Erika Slezak is stealing the spotlight!

The soap opera legend, famous for her six Emmy wins as Victoria Lord on One Life to Live, joined General Hospital on October 6 as Ronnie Bard, the mysterious sister of the late Monica Quartermaine.

Her arrival has turned the Quartermaine family upside down, and fans cannot get enough of her commanding presence.

Slezak’s big moment came in the October 20 episode when Ronnie boldly kicked Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) out of the Q mansion, stirring up a juicy feud over inheritance and family secrets.

The dramatic will-reading earlier this month set the stage for Ronnie’s power play and revealed her as a cunning force in Port Charles.

Her scenes with Jane Elliot and Vernee Watson (Stella Henry) crackle with intensity, blending sharp dialogue with emotional depth that’s got everyone talking.

“Erika’s killing it as Ronnie, she is a total game-changer!” one fan gushed online.

Another said, “Please, GH, do not let her go! She is bringing the fire we need.”

Though her role is short-term, wrapping up soon, the show’s left the door open for Ronnie to return, possibly to dive deeper into the Quartermaine legacy or unresolved family grudges.

This week’s episodes, airing through October 24, promise more of Ronnie’s scheming as she navigates tensions with Tracy and others.

Slezak, 79, has shared her excitement about returning to daytime TV.

“Playing Ronnie is such a thrill, the character’s got layers, and the cast is phenomenal to work with,” she said in a recent chat.

Her decades of experience shine through, making every scene a masterclass in soap drama.

Fans speculate how Ronnie’s arc might tie into November’s big sweeps, with hints of a larger Quartermaine showdown on the horizon.

Catch Erika Slezak in General Hospital this week on ABC or on Hulu.

With Port Charles facing more twists, custody battles, prison drama, and shady deals, Ronnie’s time in town will surely leave a mark.
