Soap opera icon Denise Alexander, famous for her roles as Lesley Webber on “General Hospital” and Susan Hunter Martin on “Days of Our Lives,” passed away on March 5. Her death was recently disclosed, leaving fans and colleagues mourning the loss of a talented actress.

Frank Valentini, the executive producer of “General Hospital,” expressed his condolences on social media, praising Alexander for her groundbreaking portrayal of Dr. Lesley Webber, one of the first female doctors on daytime television. He acknowledged her significant contributions to the show and the industry, highlighting her dedication to the role over nearly five decades.

Denise Alexander’s acting career began in the early 1950s with a Broadway debut in “The Children’s Hour” and appearances in popular television shows like “Father Knows Best,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “The Danny Kaye Show.” In 1960, she joined the cast of the CBS soap opera “The Clear Horizon,” setting the stage for her enduring success in the soap opera genre.

Transitioning to ABC, Alexander landed a role in the soap pilot “Emergency Hospital,” later known as “General Hospital.” However, it was her portrayal of Susan Martin on “Days of Our Lives” in 1966 that solidified her presence in the soap opera world for seven years. Her departure from the show in 1973 sparked outrage among fans, a testament to her popularity and impact on the series.

Upon joining “General Hospital,” Alexander’s character, Lesley Webber, became embroiled in complex storylines and romantic entanglements, earning her an Emmy nomination for outstanding actress in a Daytime drama series. Her on-screen chemistry with co-stars Chris Robinson and Leslie Charleson added depth to the show’s narrative and captivated audiences.

Throughout her career, she made guest appearances on various soap operas, including NBC’s “Another World,” where she reunited with Robinson in a different capacity.

Denise Alexander made her final appearance on “General Hospital” in 2021, leaving behind a legacy of memorable performances and beloved characters. Her impact on the soap opera genre and the hearts of fans will forever be remembered, honoring her contributions to the television industry.
