OMG will NEVER be the same without Jane Elliott playing Tracy Q. I have been watching GH for over 55 years. Have seen many changes through the years. Was heart sick when Jason's character left, have seen a few Carly's, love the current. If Sunny ever leaves I'm done. Missed Luke but got over him, love Laura coming back as regular , was super sad when Maxie took an absence however health first, LOVE her character. I could go on and on however it's about Jane AKA Tracy. God luck going to miss your character SOOOO much and thank you for al the great years of watching you. Kudos to the writers and it's a sad day losing Jane. I am SUPER sad.

I have admired the way that Jane has delivered the character of Tracy Quartermaine to the fans for decades. She and she alone has always portrayed the character with spunk, vulnerability, loyalty and compassion (when needed) and those traits have never been captured by any of her “stand-ins.” I do not want a re-cast. I would rather see Jane retire and have the option to appear once in a while or whenever the story line NEEDS HER TO BE THERE. Please do NOT RECAST THIS CHARACTER.

Robin has to always be Dorian, dumb question.

There have been other actresses who’ve portrayed Tracy in the past but none of them were ever able to bring her to life the way Jane has. The nuanced performance necessary to keep Tracy from becoming a one dimensional shrew as opposed to the Tracy we love and root for while occasionally loving to hate her is something very few actors are capable of. In fact, none of Tracy’s other portrayers ever managed to achieve it. While I will miss Tracy when Jane exits the show it’s my opinion that recasting the role even with another soap vet would simply be a let down for the viewers.

Tracy Quartermaine is an incredibly dimensional personality due entirely to Jane Elliot’s energy, essence and creativity. The character’s unabashedly brazen manner infused endearingly with unique nuances, smirks, skeptical glances or wide-eyed is signature Elliot. Anyone filling Elliot’s shoes would be/will be hard-pressed to successfully adapt/morph Tracy’s character to fit their own creative energies.
