Denise Alexander Dies: ‘General Hospital’ & ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Star Was 85
Soap opera veteran Denise Alexander, best known for her starring roles on 'General Hospital' and 'Days of Our Lives', has died at the age of 85.
At the time, General Hospital was struggling creatively and ratings-wise, but soon righted the ship with a new head writer and executive producer, as well as a simmering love triangle between Alexander’s Lesley, Chris Robinson’s Rick Webber and the late Leslie Charleson’s Monica Quartermaine. In 1984, shockwaves once again diffused among soap fans, who protested Alexander’s departure from GH due to shifting personal priorities and failed contract negotiations (her character was killed off). Susan Seaforth Hayes — her longtime friend and co-star on Days — paid tribute to Alexander, who was established as an on-screen rival to her character Julie Olson Williams.
