Hits and Misses

What we think worked and didn’t work.

General Hospital

Hit: The performances in the wake of Sam’s death. We’re still in denial over Kelly Monaco’s Gh exit. However, it was hard to deny the performances of each of the actors as they reacted to Sam’s death. It’s the reason fans voted Nancy Lee Grahn Gh’s October Performer of the Month. But there was also Steve Burton and Van Hansis, who tore at our hearts. Dominic Zamprogna hit us hard playing the man who just asked Sam to marry him. His tremendous guilt will weigh on him for a long time. But do you know who was simply fantastic as well?...

Kelly Monaco has something to say.

As you very likely recall, the veteran actress was fired from General Hospital late this summer… a stunning development considering the star had portrayed the character of Sam McCall since 2003.

According to Soap Opera Network, which broke this unexpected news in August, Monaco was “blindsided” by the firing.

Based on her very first comments since getting ousted, this report appears to be accurate.

“Last scene with the Davis girls,” Monaco captioned a behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram this weekend, adding by way of non-explanation and consternation:

Episode 15551 Air Date: Monday, September 16, 2024

Kristina (Kate Mansi) and Molly (Kristen Vaganos) argued over their mother while Sam (Lindsay Hartley) visited Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) at the Pcpd. Later, a detective informed her that her vehicle was seen at the Quartermaine Mansion the night of the murder. When Sonny (Maurice Benard) went to see Ava (Maura West), he finally came face-to-face with Ric (Rick Hearst) and the brothers had it out over Alexis and their daughters. Tracy (Jane Elliott) continued clashing with Sasha (Sofia Mattsson). Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) informed Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) that his dad went to find Lucky (Jonathan Jackson), then overheard Sam tell Elizabeth that she worried Jason wouldn’t make it back, but he assured her he would. Cody (Josh Kelly) went to visit Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and introduced himself to Lulu.

General Hospital spoilers for next week’s episodes of the hit ABC soap tease that time is of the essence.

The storyline to bring Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) home is in full swing. With NuLulu (Alexa Havins) already hired, it’s only a matter of time before she debuts.

Meanwhile, Sonny (Maurice Benard) is wrapped up in a big mess. Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) taking the fall for what he did isn’t going over well, as Kristina (Kate Mansi) continues to spiral.

Everything seems to be focused on those two major storylines. They will likely be the ones that take us into November sweeps and possibly beyond.

There’s also some Nina (Cynthia Watros), Drew (Cameron Mathison), and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) thrown in for good measure.

Here’s what’s happening next week on General Hospital.

According to Soap Opera Digest, Hartley is set to appear in multiple episodes this week with the outlet noting Hartley’s scenes were taped around the same time she taped the funeral scenes that aired in August where Sam (Hartley) stood in support of her dueling sisters, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Kristina (Kate Mansi) as they grieved the loss of their child, fathered by T.J. (Tajh Bellow).

“Because ‘Gh’ often shoots segments of episodes out of order, there was a lag time of several weeks before Hartley’s work made it to air,” Digest pointed out in its report.

General Hospital star Kelly Monaco is hitting back at her firing from the role of Sam Morgan and threatening to spill tea about behind-the-scenes dirt. In a surprising move, the mom of a beloved now-dead co-star is chiming in as well.

Kelly Monaco has been playing the beloved character for over 20 years, but it was reported that she is exiting the show later this year after being “blindsided” by producers.

The show films several months in advance and Kelly missed some episodes that are currently airing, so she was temporarily replaced by Lindsay (pictured right). She has served as a temporary replacement for Sam McCall multiple times in the past as well.

Lindsay previously appeared on the show in August 2024 and is now back just weeks later. So, what led to the quick return?

Surprising News

Gh fans are still in shock over the news that Kelly Monaco is leaving the ABC soap. Earlier this month, it was revealed that she will be exiting her role as Sam McCall in September 2024. She has played the iconic character since 2003. Her final airdate is unknown at the time.

The news exploded on social media at the time. Reports claimed she was being killed off; however, she has recently been temporarily replaced by Lindsay Hartley. Still, many questions surround Monaco’s departure and what led to this hasty decision.

Gh has been through many changes this year alone. Chris Van Etten replaced head writer Patrick Mulcahey. Several cast members, including Steve Burton (Jason) and Jonathan Jackson (Lucky), have returned. In June, Michael Easton announced his exit from the series.

General Hospital spoilers for Tuesday, September 17, focus on characters developing theories, sharing feelings, taking action, and making great sacrifices. How big a sacrifice are we talking?

Versus

We’ve had plenty of showdowns between Kristina (Kate Mansi) and Molly (Kristen Vaganos). So, we’re here for Sonny vs. Molly. The last time Molly went up against Sonny (Maurice Benard), she blamed him for everything, and he was still taking the placebos. Something tells us their latest interaction is going to be anything but one-sided.

Read This: Find out our thoughts on Gh’s Hits and Misses for last week.

In fact, Sonny probably doesn’t think his daughter deserves any of the wrath Molly has been unleashing all over Kristina. That must be why he challenges Molly. What kind of challenge is this, anyway? Does Sonny want Molly to open her mind and see things from her sister’s perspective?...

This week on “General Hospital,” Sam (Kelly Monaco/Lindsay Hartley) has her own theory about what is truly going on. Molly (Kristen Vaganos) lets Kristina (Kate Mansi) know that their mother, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has been arrested for John’s murder. Meanwhile, Sonny (Maurice Benard) tries to misdirect Molly.

Elsewhere, Tracy (Jane Elliot) is disgusted by what she sees and confronts Sasha (Sofia Mattsson). Nina (Cynthia Watros) also shares news with Sasha, this time about her feelings for Drew (Cameron Mathison). Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is uneasy about her own feelings while keeping secrets from Michael (Chad Duell). while Jason (Steve Burton) and Anna (Finola Hughes) continue their big adventure. Finally, Sonny and Ava (Maura West) clash over Avery’s custody.

General Hospital fans will see a familiar face stepping in as Sam McCall for Kelly Monaco this week. Lindsay Hartley will take on the role again.

Hartley As Sam

Soap Opera Digest reported that Hartley will appear as Sam on Gh for several episodes starting this week. The episodes she’s in were filmed the last time Hartley stepped in for Monaco on the ABC soap. Gh frequently shoots parts of episodes out of order, which is why Hartley will be on once again this week.

Viewers will remember that Hartley portrayed the character during the funeral for Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Tj’s (Tajh Bellow) unborn baby, who died when surrogate Kristina (Kate Mansi) fell out a window during a confrontation with Ava (Maura West).

Recently, news broke that Monaco is out as Sam and the character will die when the actress exits. It’s unclear when Monaco’s last airdate will be.

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers for the fall suggest that Sam McCall’s days in Port Charles are coming to a close.

News broke recently that Kelly Monaco was let go from the soap, and reports indicate that Sam McCall is set to be killed off, sometime soon.

However, with the flurry of social media activity as of late, not to mention the fact that Kelly’s Sam fill-in, actress Lindsay Hartley, is set to step into McCall’s shoes for multiple scenes during the week of September 16-20, fans can’t help but wonder if Kelly is officially gone from the daytime drama.

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers indicate that fans are still reeling over the news that Kelly Monaco has been fired from the soap, as Sam McCall is set to exit sometime this fall.

Gh viewers aren’t only upset about the idea that Monaco is leaving, but also because reports indicate the daytime drama is expected to kill off Sam; a legacy character who’s been onscreen for over 20 years. But, could Gh writers change things up a bit?

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers reveal a major shocker and blow to JaSam fans. Kelly Monaco has been fired from Gh, and the role of Sam McCall will not be recast.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Sam’s Exit Is Storyline Dictated

Soap Opera Digest said her exit is “storyline-dictated,” which makes sense since Lulu Spencer (last played by Emme Rylan) is close to waking up from her almost four-year-long coma.

Monaco has portrayed Sam since October 2003. Lindsay Hartley stepped into Sam’s shoes late last week during the funeral for the baby Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) had been carrying for Molly Lansing-Davis` (Kristen Vaganos).

Some initially speculated that Hartley would replace Monaco, but the show has decided to scrap the character altogether.

It’s a sad turn of events since there had been so much hope that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sam would find their way back to each other.

Fans...

General Hospital will soon look a lot different following the unexpected exit of Kelly Monaco, who has played Sam McCall for 21 years. The surprise casting decision will likely have monumental ripple effects throughout the fictional town of Port Charles and the daytime TV landscape. With Sam being a key player on the canvas for over two decades, the character's untimely exit will affect most of the remaining characters in some capacity. Unfortunately for Monaco, it appears the decision to exit the sudser was not her own and reportedly "blindsided" the Emmy-nominated actress.

Monaco's character was recently temporarily recast, with Passions alum, Lindsay Hartley stepping into the role. However, while it might make sense for Hartley or another actor to take over as Sam, this will not be the case. According to Soap Opera Network, Sam will be killed off, and Monaco's final scenes are slated to air sometime this fall.

Kelly Monaco is set to leave “General Hospital” after more than two decades on the ABC soap opera, Variety has confirmed.

Monaco, who has played the role of Sam McCall on “General Hospital” since 2003, will make her final appearance in Port Charles this fall due to storyline.

Monaco joined the soap opera in 2003 after working on the spinoff series “Port Charles,” in which she portrayed Livvie Locke from 2000 to 2003. “General Hospital” introduced Monaco’s Sam as a con artist attempting to reverse her family’s bad luck. The character is the biological daughter of mob boss Julian Jerome (William deVry) and attorney Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), as well as the illegal adoptive daughter of Cody McCall (Stanley Kamel) and Evelyn Bass.

Monaco has filmed more than 2,200 episodes of “General Hospital,” and in 2006, she received a Daytime Emmy nomination for her performance as Sam.

In August 2020, Monaco was briefly recast...

General Hospital is making big moves behind the scenes, and the latest one involves a fan favorite.

Kelly Monaco has been on the ABC soap for over 20 years, but that seems to have ended.

According to Soap Opera News, a source claims Kelly is out at General Hospital, and she was “blindsided” by the news.

Kelly has not updated, and Gh does not comment on casting news. It’s currently a dark week on set, so there likely won’t be much more available.

Viewers first met Kelly as Sam when she debuted in October 2003 after spending time on the Gh spinoff, Port Charles.

For the last two decades, she has been part of the General Hospital family, but for longer, Kelly was a part of the ABC family.

Will Sam be recast on General Hospital?

The reason for Kelly Monaco’s exit from General Hospital is reportedly storyline dictated.

On General Hospital, Lindsay Hartley stepped in as Sam McCall last week. However, new details show that Kelly Monaco is out as Sam.

Will Sam Be Recast?

Soap Opera Network reported that sources confirmed that Monaco is no longer portraying Sam at the ABC soap. Son reported that the network chose to terminate the character entirely. It sounds like the information “blindsided” Monaco, who began portraying Sam in 2003.

Monaco has been with the Gh franchise for her career in daytime. From 2000 to 2003, she portrayed Livvie Locke in the Gh spinoff Port Charles. She portrayed Livvie until the show was canceled, then moved on to Sam on Gh.

Throughout her over two-decade career in daytime, Monaco has earned two Daytime Emmy nominations. One for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2003 for portraying Livvie and the second for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work as Sam...

The Week of August 26, 2024

Daytime vet Lindsay Hartley was back as Sam McCall last week, subbing for Kelly Monaco. “Grateful to be stepping in again,” shared the actress on Instagram. Hartley made her initial appearance as Sam in 2020. Word is she’s back for a quick stint.

After a long absence, Parry Shen is back as Brad Cooper. The hospital’s ousted lab manager made a pitch for a new job as a lab technician. He last aired in March 2023.

That was Debbie Matenopoulos, former co-host of The View and Home & Family, playing a Home & Heart producer. She interacted with the Deception team.

Days of Our Lives teased the hiring of two new actors on social media in April. But they kept mum about what roles the two were playing. Many fans guessed that one of them was a recast Gabi Hernandez. The soap finally confirmed the rumors. Who will be playing Gabi and when will the new actress begin airing on Dool? Keep reading for all the details.

Cherie Jimenez Takes Over As Gabi

Camila Banus is the Gabi Hernandez that fans know and love to hate. However, she wasn’t the first actress to play the role. Banus replaced Gabriela Rodriguez in the role in 2010. She played the role of the anti-heroine on and off for over a decade. Banus officially left the show in 2023 and her recent social media activity hinted that she had no desire to return.

Gabi was sent to prison for the murder of Li Shin but is actually innocent.

Lindsay Hartley on Tuesday filled in as Sam McCall while Gh mainstay Kelly Monaco took some personal time. But her absence will be brief; she’s back on Friday.

Hartley has filled in for Monaco before on the ABC sudser.

News of Monaco’s absence comes after it was revealed last week that Nicole Paggi will be taking over for Kirsten Storms as Maxie Jones in Port Charles. Storms will be out for a few days.

And a day after the Daytime Emmys aired in December, fans discovered that first-time Emmy winner Eden McCoy was Mia as character Josslyn Jacks; someone else was appearing in her place.

Turns out it is actress Courtney Fulk filling in for McCoy — a surprise development since Gh didn’t give viewers a heads up that a temporary change was in the works. But a spokesperson for...

Another week, another General Hospital recast.

General Hospital is missing one of its own in the new year as star Kelly Monaco is nowhere to be found onscreen. But where did she go?
