Kelly Monaco’s GH Exit Drama: Deleted Comments and Pay Cut Rumors Spark Fan Frenzy

The soap opera world is buzzing with drama, and this time, it’s not just on-screen. General Hospital (GH) star Kelly Monaco, known for her 21-year stint as Sam McCall, has set the internet ablaze with cryptic comments and social media activity surrounding her impending exit from the show.

A Flurry of Activity and a Deleted Bombshell

Monaco’s departure, slated for this fall, has been a hot topic among fans. The actress and her camp have been fueling speculation with various social media posts and comments. The drama kicked into high gear on Tuesday, October 1 – ironically, the same day Monaco celebrated her 21-year debut on GH.

In a now-deleted comment on a Soap Hub Instagram post, Monaco responded to fan speculation about her exit. The post originally featured Days of Our Lives star Greg Vaughan showing support for Monaco. In her reply to a fan’s comment suggesting she was fired for refusing a pay cut, Monaco didn’t hold back.

“‘No primary role’… do your homework,” Monaco began, addressing the rumors head-on. She went on to discuss how Sam’s storyline had changed dramatically after Billy Miller’s departure in 2018. “When Billy Miller was fired, Sam’s storyline stopped. Stripping Sam of every characteristic she had. Something I worked for decades to build… Slowly dismantling her, into a character that I did not recognize, let alone the audience.”

Monaco didn’t stop there. She hinted at behind-the-scenes issues, stating, “Call it what you will… retaliation at [sic] it finest. I will give a proper statement. The truth will set you free.”

This explosive comment, which has since been deleted, has left fans speculating about the true reasons behind Monaco’s exit and the state of her relationship with the show’s producers.

A Timeline of Teases

The drama began unfolding on September 15, when Monaco posted a touching tribute to the late Billy Miller on Instagram, promising to tell “their side of the story” soon. This was followed by a tweet from Monaco’s mother, Carmina, on September 27, thanking fans for their support and revealing that Kelly had filmed her last scenes with the soap.

Nostalgia and Support from Co-Stars

Amid the exit drama, Monaco found time to reminisce about her soap opera journey. In a comment on former co-star Michael Easton’s Instagram post, she reflected on their shared history. Easton, who has played multiple roles across various soaps, including Dr. Hamilton Finn on GH and vampire Caleb Morley on Port Charles, received a heartfelt message from Monaco.

She wrote about Easton being her first daytime drama co-star 25 years ago and expressed her gratitude for his guidance through her early days in the soap world. Monaco credited Easton’s patience and dedication as crucial to her reaching the 21-year milestone on GH.

Easton reciprocated the sentiment, thanking Monaco for her kind words and praising her “beautiful spirit.”

What’s Next for Sam McCall?

As fans eagerly await Monaco’s promised “proper statement,” speculation runs rampant about Sam McCall’s fate. If Carmina Monaco’s timeline is accurate, viewers may see Sam’s final storyline unfold in late October or early November.

The question on everyone’s mind remains: Will we finally get the full story behind Monaco’s exit? As with any good soap opera, we’ll have to stay tuned to find out.

One thing’s for certain – Kelly Monaco’s departure from General Hospital is shaping up to be as dramatic and intriguing as any storyline Sam McCall has been part of in the last 21 years. Fans are on the edge of their seats, waiting for the next twist in this real-life soap opera drama.

    It is sad to me that Kelly Monaco playing the role of Sam McCall for 21 years she is leaving GH it will not be the same as fans not seeing Sam McCall on GH no longer she played a beautiful spirited actress on GH for many years and US fans did not get to see her role with Jason Morgan evidently she went through some difficult times on the show that was harder for her ever since Billy Miller’s death. It seems like she is struggling with it and they were close maybe she needs a break for her character is playing Sam McCall maybe it’s not the same ever since Billy Miller’s death I signed a petition because I thought that maybe it would make a difference but I loved Sam McCall and I love her as Kelly Monaco don’t know if we will see her on any other soaps or not I will be praying for her and for her future

    I hate the way the writers are doing to all the characters. Where these writers come from. It’s like they trying to get general hospital cancelled with their terrible writing. People are getting tired of their crazy storylines that don’t make sense.

    I feel its multiple things and Kelly will tell her story when she’s ready. Also, I feel like a legal/contract violation might be the issue. I always felt like there was more to the story and I cannot wait until she tells it!

    I believe almost every GH fan has suspected something occurred between Sam and TPTB after BM’s dismissal from canvas. Personally, I believe viewers will ever know the truth and nothing but the truth, as we will get a watered down version even from Kelly herself as she has to watch what she states if she wants to continue working in the business. I do agree her presence on canvas has been very limited from past presences, after the BM situation. But, I am hoping as with when the Liz character was placed in the same position, fan calls for a reversal will change the minds of TPTB. Of course every situation like this is different, but even with the actor being removed from canvas, unless something very explosive occurred, the character should be recast in my opinion. As stated previously, we the viewers will never know the truth and the whole truth. but then again, does the truth really need to be revealed??

    Kelly is a talented actress, but she needs to be careful what she says going out the door of a show. She may not want to burn bridges or another show or producer may not want to hire someone who pops off on their Instagram posts.

    She has every right to tell her story – but we want to be able to see her again.
