General Hospital's Kelly Monaco Shares Final Scene, Expresses Frustration Over Firing.

Los Angeles, CA – Kelly Monaco, longtime star of General Hospital, has shared a poignant glimpse of her final scene on the soap opera while also expressing her continued confusion and frustration over her unexpected dismissal from the show. Monaco, who has portrayed the popular character of Sam McCall for over two decades, took to social media to share the moment with her fans.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, October 6th, Monaco posted a photo from her last scene, which she noted was her "final scene with the Davis girls." The picture shows Monaco alongside her co-stars Kate Mansi, Nancy Lee Grahn, and Kristen Vaganos. Accompanying the image was a candid caption: "Still doesn’t make any sense to me," Monaco wrote, clearly still grappling with her departure from the beloved daytime program.
Monaco's co-star, Nancy Lee Grahn, offered words of support and encouragement in the comments section. Quoting Albert Einstein, Grahn wrote, "In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.’ I love you. All will be well. There are some things a TV mother just knows." Grahn's message of love and optimism seemed to resonate with fans who were equally saddened by Monaco's departure.
News of Monaco's exit from General Hospital broke in late August, leaving fans stunned and disappointed. Reports indicated that the decision to write off Sam McCall was not Monaco's, and that she was reportedly "blindsided" by the news, according to Soap Opera Network. After filming over 2,000 episodes for the soap, Monaco's departure marks the end of a significant chapter for both the actress and the show's loyal viewers.
Monaco joined General Hospital in 2003, after previously appearing on the spin-off series Port Charles from 2000 to 2003, where she played Livvie Locke. When she transitioned to General Hospital as Sam McCall, the character was initially introduced as a con artist, adding a layer of intrigue and complexity that quickly captivated audiences. Sam is the biological daughter of mob boss Julian Jerome (played by William deVry) and attorney Alexis Davis (played by Nancy Lee Grahn), a parentage that has provided rich storylines and dramatic tension over the years.
The announcement of Monaco's departure sparked an outpouring of disappointment and anger from fans. Many expressed their dismay at the show's decision, with some even vowing to stop watching General Hospital altogether. "This is a sad day. I won’t be watching once she leaves. She is the reason I am watching as is," one fan commented. They further criticized the show's writing, stating, "The writing for the characters we love is unrecognizable, shows no growth this is why the ratings are down please get it together, figure it out so Sam stays." Another fan echoed these sentiments, calling the decision "utterly ridiculous" and expressing disbelief that the show would let go of "a veteran actress" like Monaco and her popular character. The outpouring of support for Monaco underscored her popularity and the strong connection she had forged with the General Hospital audience.
General Hospital holds a unique place in television history. It is recognized as the longest-running serial produced in Hollywood and the longest-running entertainment program in ABC television history. The series, set in the fictional town of Port Charles, New York, chronicles the lives, loves, and fortunes of its diverse residents. The show's official description promises "love, danger, and mind-blowing plot twists," elements that have kept viewers coming back for decades. Monaco's character, Sam McCall, has been a central figure in many of these storylines, and her absence will undoubtedly be felt by viewers. While the show will continue, the departure of such a beloved character leaves a void that will be difficult to fill. The circumstances surrounding Monaco's exit, and her own public expressions of confusion and disappointment, have added another layer of drama to this transition, leaving fans wondering about the future of General Hospital and the stories it will tell.
