Soap opera fans bid a tearful goodbye to Kelly Monaco, who has portrayed Sam McCall on General Hospital for over 20 years. Monaco’s character tragically died in a recent episode, but fans can expect one final appearance later this week. Monaco’s departure was confirmed in August, with her last scenes filmed in September. The actress addressed rumors of her departure, stating that changes made to her character led to her decision to leave.
Monaco’s mother expressed gratitude to fans for their support throughout the actress’s time on the show. She acknowledged the difficult moment for Monaco but thanked fans for standing by her. The actress reflected on her final moments on set, hinting at the emotional impact of leaving the show and the strong bond she formed with her castmates.
Soap opera exits can be as shocking as the storylines on the screen, with stars like Alison Sweeney also leaving long-running roles in the past. Monaco’s departure marks the end of an era on General Hospital, but fans can look forward to her final appearance in the coming days as they say goodbye to Sam McCall.
