General Hospital fans have unequivocally expressed their displeasure after learning about Kelly Monaco’s departure from the show and the impending write-off of her character, Sam McCall.

The announcement, which came to light last evening, has led to significant backlash from loyal viewers. On August 26, 2024, Soap Opera Network reported that Kelly Monaco would be departing from the ABC daytime soap opera, a decision that reportedly caught Monaco by surprise.

Subsequently, the show’s choice sparked vocal disagreement among fans, especially regarding the decision to kill off the character, who has been apart of the canvas for over two decades.

Since the news surfaced, fans have united to strategize ways to secure Monaco’s rehiring. They have mobilized through calls, emails, petitions and extensively shared posts on X while diligently tagging the show and the powers that be, all in pursuit of getting Kelly Monaco rehired.

Kelly Monaco Is A Star:

Kelly Monaco, an accomplished American actress, model, and reality television personality, is best known for her role as Sam McCall on General Hospital and for winning the first season of the reality TV competition series Dancing with the Stars. Prior to her role on General Hospital, Monaco had two roles in the ABC soap opera Port Charles as Olivia “Livvie” Locke Morley and Tess Ramsey.

She initially joined the cast of General Hospital in October 2003 as Samantha McCall.

    G H is not the same show I’ve watched for the last 40 plus years. Everyone is always so angry and hateful. Kelly has always been one of my favorites and I am not happy with the new writing . Probably will discontinue watching soon if things don’t improve. This will impact so many good actors if the show doesn’t respect the viewers.
