Loving Erika Slezak As Ronnie

Erika Slezak is back on an ABC soap, and all is right with the world. Many fans are thrilled to see her in Port Charles. It wouldn’t have mattered what role she played, as long as she was back on our screens.

Others are enjoying Monica’s long-lost sister, Veronica “Ronnie”. She is mixing things up over at the Quartermaine mansion, and that is always fun. It’s enjoyable to see Tracy (Jane Elliot) all riled up while Ronnie remains cool and collected.

Plus, the character is a mystery. She seems like a sweet lady who had no idea that Monica even put her in the will, much less left her everything. Is that all there is to her? We doubt it. There is a good chance that she teamed up with Martin (Michael E Knight) to get back at Tracy. Her time in Port Charles is limited, so the truth about Ronnie will probably come out sooner rather than later, and some fans can’t wait.

But She’s Not Victoria Lord

Die-hard fans of One Life to Live were beyond excited for Slezak to come to GH. She played the beloved Victoria Lord on the soap from 1971 until its demise in 2012. Many viewers hoped that Vicki would come to Port Charles, or at least a character who resembles her.

Ronnie is (so far) nothing like Vicki, or her alternative personality, Nicki. She is soft-spoken and sweet, and she wears an old brown sweater that Victoria Lord wouldn’t be caught dead in. Some fans feel that since Slezak is only around for a short run, she should be a more commanding personality. They believe that the build-up to her arrival was not worth what they are seeing on their screens.
