Longtime General Hospital star Leslie Charleson was spotted in a rare public outing over the October 19 weekend. While it’s unclear if Leslie is suffering from a specific medical diagnosis, a source recently told Closer that she has “suffered several falls in recent years,” including a fall in 2018 after she tripped while walking her dog.
Due to her fall, Leslie, 79, was replaced on General Hospital.
“Unfortunately, she will need to be replaced in shows already written,” the official General Hospital account shared on X at the time. “She sends all her love and will be back as soon as she recovers. We wish her a speedy recovery and all the best.”
