Why Jane Elliot Furiously Quit General Hospital After Her First Stint On The Show

As the legendary Tracy Quartermaine on "General Hospital," actor Jane Elliot is well-known and loved by her fans, having been on the show since 1978. Tracy has gone through a lot over the years, including several marriages to the shady Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) and neverending battles for control over her family's company, ELQ (via Soaps in Depth). Her most recent scheme was in 2021 when she tried to frame Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) for drunk driving after she slept with Tracy's married son Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth).

Without Tracy, Port Charles would certainly be a different place. In 2013, Elliot admitted there was a time early in her time at "GH" when she wanted to walk away from it all. It wasn't because she didn't like her job or enjoy working with her co-stars, but rather because of a tiff that she had with former "GH" Executive Producer Gloria Monty. In an interview with TV Guide, Elliot admitted she was upset over not getting a pay raise on the show. She put it this way: "I was making, like, a dollar and a quarter a week — horrible money, so little money that I asked for a $50 raise, and Gloria told my agent I was unprofessional. Now, you can call me a lot of things, but you cannot call me unprofessional."

Elliot was so upset by the insult that she didn't return to Port Charles until she was sure changes would be made.
