Tracy Quartermaine's Infamous Betrayal
24 May
Summary
- Tracy Quartermaine refused to help her father, Edward, during a staged heart attack.
- Edward Quartermaine disinherited Tracy after she taunted him during his supposed medical emergency.
- The incident echoes decades later when Ned Quartermaine collapsed and was taunted.

On General Hospital, Tracy Quartermaine's iconic status is often tied to a dramatic confrontation with her father, Edward, approximately 40 years ago. During a family feud, Edward demanded Tracy drop a lawsuit against Monica, threatening disinheritance. In response, Edward faked a heart attack, begging Tracy for his medication.
Instead of offering aid, Tracy taunted her ailing father, holding his keys and questioning whether to help him live to sign a will that disinherited her. Edward eventually revealed the heart attack was a ruse and proceeded with disinheriting her. This event became a lasting scar on their relationship, frequently cited by Edward to highlight Tracy's disloyalty.
Decades later, a similar scenario unfolded when Tracy's son, Ned, experienced chest pains and collapsed. Drew Quartermaine, mocking the family's history, suggested Ned might be faking. However, Ned's heart attack was real, a close call that Tracy has used to admonish Drew for his actions.
