‘General Hospital’ Fans Rally to Save Kelly Monaco from Being Killed-Off as Sam McCall
Earlier this week, longtime General Hospital fans were shocked to learn that popular actress and mainstay, Kelly Monaco, was leaving the ABC daytime drama series after 21 years in the role of Sam McCall.
As reports surfaced following Soap Opera Network, who first broke the news, viewers were even more stunned to learn that the powers-that-be plan to kill-off Sam in a storyline-dictated move.
In daytime, where the connection between the audience, characters and stars are often blurred making this one of the unique mediums out there, now GH faithfuls and those of Monaco, have begun their campaign and to petition to have the show reverse course to keep Kelly’s job.

“It’s not too late to reverse the unlawful firing of #KellyMonaco We are not done with Sam McCall. She still has more to tell,” wrote one fan who shared the link to Change.org petition in order to ‘Save Sam McCall.’ Many took to the petition’s comment section to voice their opinion.
The petition, which as of this posting has 4,619 signatures out of their goal of 5,000, shared this overall message, “Many fans of General Hospital have grown up watching this iconic show. Sam McCall, masterfully portrayed by Kelly Monaco for over 2 decades, has woven herself into the fabric of our daily lives, becoming a beloved figure on screen.”
It continued, “The thought of General Hospital without Sam’s character is not just disappointing, it is unthinkable for the loyal audience. Her departure would strip the show of its core, disorienting many longtime viewers who have followed her storylines for years. Sam McCall is more than just a character to us, she represents a part of our own lives – triumphs, hardships, love, and loss. Without Kelly Monaco, this character’s journey abruptly ends, leaving her viewers with an incomplete story and void that can’t be filled.”

It concluded with,”We are making a plea to the producers and the network: keep Kelly Monaco on General Hospital. By signing this petition, you are standing with thousands of General Hospital fans in preserving a valuable part of the show’s history. It’s time to respect the dedication and emotional investment of the viewers who have dedicated their time and heart into the character and the actress. Join us in this critical rallying cry – Let’s keep Kelly Monaco on General Hospital!”
In addition, both GH stars, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) and Steve Burton (Jason) addressed the news of Kelly’s exit on their Daily Drama podcast. Both actors admitted (You can check out below) that they found out about Monaco’s departure when everyone else found out. Steve expressed, “Whatever happened sucks. I don’t know exactly what the story is.”
So, do you think the petition and the fans can get GH to reverse their decision and keep Kelly Monaco on the show as Sam McCall, or do you think it’s too late, the ship has sailed, and she will wrap her 21-year run as planned so? Share your thoughts via the comment section.

I laughed at the above. This isn’t about whether I’m a KM fan or not, but “unlawful firing”? “disorienting many longtime viewers”? “she represents a part of our own lives”? I mean come on. Good luck with the petition. I’m fine with her going. I’m fine with her staying. Just make good stories.
Yeah, I agree with what you’ve said. The only reason I would be concerned with them killing off Sam is that she’s part of the “Davis girls” and has been around so long. I know long-time characters often leave but killing them off is just so permanent. (Okay, maybe not on a soap, but I’d puke if they brought her back if they kill her. Enough with that crap.) GH has never been able to write a good murder mystery when they had the perfect candidate to kill off. (Thinking Shiloh, Peter, among others.) The Hook killer was the closet they’ve come and even that got rather muddled.
Soap fans are passionate and many are prone to hyperbole. There was nothing “unlawful” about Kelly’s dismissal. Either her multi year contract was up or the network didn’t pick up her option.
Sam has been on the back burner for a while now – evident with her only appearing in one episode all of July. Let’s hope this departure story is riveting.
Thank you for saying that, @TVJeff. I felt the same way. What universe are these people living in? Twenty years is an amazing run, but everything comes to an end. If the demise of Sam triggers great stories for multiple characters and has an effect across the campus (and it surely will do both), then that’s why it’s happening. Sometimes “storyline-dictated” exits are exactly that: A way to create good stories.
I personally don’t feel the same. GH has lost a lot of its legacy characters and families either through real life death, retirement, or put out to pasture. There’s no need to kill off another legacy character; they’re in short supply. The “Davis Girls” and Alexis were just starting to get stories again. I hate that they’re just going to give the boot to another vet and the character. Unfortunately Tristan Rogers doesn’t look well & is barely on, Leslie Charleson as Monica will doubtfully ever return, Maurice is probably going to retire soon, Steve Burton planned to only stay two years when he returned. They killed off Julian, Franco, Gregory, Britt, Victor, Jagger, and now Sam? They’re dismantling the show bit by bit. Ironically, it seemed like they were returning to vets and legacy characters with the return of Lulu (though a recast), Rick (though he’ll only be on a short time) and Lucky. There shouldn’t be a trade-off; they should continue on with characters who ARE GH. I’d like them to bring back AJ and Dillion, resurrect Stefan Cassadine while they’re at it…
I agree with you….enough said!
I agree they’re not taking care of the ones who have made them a home staple. They are in homes throughout the United States, and probably all over the world.
Kelly Monaco, brought Sam McCall to life.
ABC you have to save her. We love her. Please don’t let her go find a way to keep her. She can still stay with Dante and go through the struggles that every couple goes through in my morning. X comes back. It will make it better story than making her go. if you wanna capture us in the story, bring Sam straight to loving Dante during a rough battle with Lulu. And letting Lily realize that they are one just big family.
This is better than destroying a family that has been in the making for over so many years. I am not into destroying families and I have been GH fan since Luke and Laura are before because my mother used to watch us and I was born in 1957,
So please take heed,
to what I’m saying; if you want your audience stick to ABC, you need to stick with your people that have made your audience! We Love Kelly / Sam and we do not want to see
here leave.
Just like Jason, she is part of the woven cloth that brings this life to the show.
ABC: you canny do this to one of your most valuable players! You may call them an actor, but they are not an individual on the show. They play with a team of professional actors, which makes some valuable players and teammates. You cannot kill them off like they are nothing., Especially when we are with the audience watching every day.
ABC, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !!!!!
I understand why fans are upset about her dismissal. I like Sam and wish this wasn’t happening, but if its true that her fans are so irate as to create a petition to fire the show’s writers or for fans to demand that ABC cancel the show is nothing short of terroristic.
Demanding that the writers be fired will not make this right. The writers didn’t make the decision to fire Kelly. That decision came from the top. The writers are doing what they were told to do. Furthermore, I can’t believe the fans think it’s right to call for the cancelation of the show, which would cause a number of people to lose their jobs in an industry that is already difficult to find work in, is a good idea or the best approach to this situation. You all have lost touch with reality. Again, I’m a fan of Sam/Kelly and don’t want to see her go, but not at the expense of others.
No offense to the actors or characters, but Gregory and Britt weren’t what I call core or legacy characters. I love Gregory Harrison and I wish he would have stayed on but his character and Finn were not part of the GH core or legacy characters, IMO.
I wish Harrison would have been cast or recast as Jeff Webber.
I am happy they’re bringing back Lucky and Lulu. Maybe Nicholas won’t be far behind.
I agree with you. Look, I’m a fan of the actress and character. But to say “Her departure would strip the show of its core, disorienting many longtime viewers” is a bit heavy handed. Good luck. At least we know if they do kill her off, she can alway return from the dead like other characters before her.
Good points. If any character is the core of the show, it would be Laura.
Yes, I agree.
It’s amazing what a good story can do for a character. I was ready to see Molly go a few months back. Now, he has been amazing. Her performances have been riveting.
The one thing I think GH needs is to outline storylines from the beginning to end. For the past couple of months (and writer changes), it seems they are throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. Dex and Molly? No, before you go there. Willow and Drew? Creepy.
As far as Kelly leaving the show, GH has the most bloated cast I have ever seen. Kelly has hardly been on the entire summer. Too many characters are not seen for weeks. Sasha and Cody now fill like filler. Since Violet went to live with Brook Lynn and Chase, the newlyweds have had hardly any scenes together. The show needs to bring in an older gentleman and show Tracy is love again, especially with Jane being such a fan favorite. Ava is still my favorite. I want more scenes with her reconnecting with Nina and reconnecting with Nicholas is he comes back to PC full-time. I also wouldn’t mind seeing Ava with Ric.
“Ric” isn’t going to be staying too long. He lives in New Jersey and that’s where his family is now, including his elderly mom, I believe. So, he may just be on for this story arc. I’d love if the offered him a contract, but I don’t think that’s happening.
I hope you’re right. I’m already sick of Ric. He’s still the same snake and hasn’t changed one bit.
Love this she deserves better.
I’m not a fan of Sam’s character. There are several other characters that I wouldn’t mind seeing going as well.
I was shocked to hear she was going to be off the show but sometimes the show has to do something to shock the fans. Back in the day, things like this happened all the time. The only difference is that there was no social media to find out these things. To me, that’s what made soaps so much more enjoyable. Now, we find out just about everything weeks before it airs and it takes the surprise out of the story.
Can’t disagree. The days of Soap Opera Digest are missing.
I’m not sure the uproar. Her character while once front burner has not done much for years and many have criticized her perform as “phoning it in”. I actually like her with Dante but again there’s not been a lot of story there.
Very well-written plea. Soaps aren’t just a weekly show on for a season or two. Soaps become part of many viewers daily lives, a fictional world viewers can escape to, and legacy characters and the actors who played them are comforting, familiar, faces and “people” that many in real life like to get lost in. When they just strip longtime viewers of these characters and actors, like they did with Stuart Damon back in the day or Sean Kanan (again and again), it does evoke feelings. Is it “unlawful” as one poster wrote? Obviously not; that person chose the wrong word. But it is shocking and jolting. It’s one thing for an actor to want to leave (we have to resign ourselves to the fact that was the actor’s choice). But to fire an actor, or, if the rumors are true kill yet another legacy character off, that’s not only wrong to do to the actor, but it’s dashing the hopes of viewers who want the door left open for a return. (And yes, at times soaps undo characters deaths; we know).
I’m still wondering if this is a Valentini decision, or if he’s just going along with a story that requires “Sam’s” death. I wonder if we’ll find out the truth behind this soapy debacle.
I think they are definitely doing it to use her Liver for Lulu. Can’t remember if she’s been tested or not yet.Her two kids will really be displaced, with her gone and dads they hardly see.Does that mean two more at the Q’s.? At least they will still have Alexis, if she can ever tear herself away from her other needy daughters. Sam never got much of her attention, so, maybe, she’ll have a little time for the grd.kids.
I’ve been a fan of her and the character for a very long time. Sam and Dante are a couple I look forward to seeing on the screen. Lots of other characters that the powers that be can write off. Heather Weber for one. Shame on you GH for planning to kill off a beloved character.
It does work, because it saved the jobs of Genie Francis and Becky Herbst.
I won’t be one. Not a fan of character and not sad for character to go. I wish Kelly all the best for future projects.
She needs to stay a lot of Viewers won’t like that probably not watch the show she is the best love her character
I have watched GH from the very beginning. If Kelly goes I will be one who quits watching the show!
A similar situation occurred with Rebecca Herbst a couple years back when Elizabeth basically had no storyline and the fans rallied to save a legacy character and the popular portrayer.
Rather you like Sam Mccall or not, Kelly Monaco KEPT THE LIGHTS ON at the GH we’re watching today.
Sam has developed into a well-rounded character woven into the fabric of GH.
Hopefully, the executives at GH & ABC Daytime reverse their decision and continue a respectable, professional relationship with Ms. Monaco
I already stopped watching GH. Why keep Kelly on the show if they don’t want to write good story lines for her and give her less screen time. Kelly Monaco deserves better than GH trash.
I respect that a lot of people are upset by Kelly’s firing. I felt the same way when they tried to get rid of Genie Francis a number of years back. We got them to change their mind on that atrocious decision, and the fans saved Becky Herbst at one point also, so it can be done.
My honest opinion, I’m fine with Sam being gone. No disrespect to Kelly, I was just never a fan of the character. Jason and Sam as a couple were as boring as watching paint dry, to me. Jax, Sonny, Lucky, Drew, I didn’t care for many of her pairings over the years. I actually did kind of like her and Dante together, though.
I don’t see Sam as being a necessary character on the show anymore. I know many will disagree, and that’s fine. We all have our likes and dislikes. I certainly would not kill her off, however. Send her out of town, whatever, at least leave the door open. I don’t want to see Danny and Scout go through losing their mother at such a young age.That’s too cruel even for a soap.
Let me also say, someone needs to get a dictionary and find out what “unlawful” really means.
Meh. I’ve been watching the show, on and off, for almost 50 years. A lot of my favorite characters have been killed off. Some more than once! It’s the nature of the business. But my experience has been that it’s so much more frustrating to have a once vital and active character pushed to the back burner on life support. I’m sorry, Sam McCall fans, but this doesn’t rise to the idiocy that led to the extermination of Alan Quartermaine. And since the rise of Saint Sonny, any character that steps into the role of police commissioner is instantly back-burnered. The only character that I’ve seen lately more under-used than Sam is Robert Scorpio. God forbid an actor over 75 years old can have a storyline. What do we think this is, The Young and the Restless? One can only hope that we’ll see him more than once a month when Holly returns.
In short, I hope that if Sam has to die, she does so in an exciting fashion, rather than the off-screen car accident that “killed” Lesley Webber.
I am upset a d mad about Kellie. Love her watched for 22 yrs. She is one of my fav on gh. I was hoping that eventually she would go back with Jason or Dante. Now that won’t happen. Gh you suck
Fans can protest with petitions, all for not..
Without a doubt, the powers that be knew that fans would petition.
It’s about the money and bringing in other actors..
Kelly is out- not even praying to the soap god will save her…
Wait for it-
GH has a very bloated cast! They can barely get all of them their lines and to just go ahead and to get rid of a veteran, immersed in the storylines in this show? This smacks of retaliation by someone! There are lesser actors and stories these people could get rid of! To keep bringing on more and more! These leaders suck at their jobs. Thank you Michael for helping spread our word and for all you do for our actors on GH!
Instead of killing off Sam, why not just have her leave town? At least that leaves the door open for her to return.
Why cant they get rid of Drew/ Cameron insread? I read that Sam’s death may be caused by an automobile accident, I can only hope that Cates is in the other car. What he did to Kristina today was abominable , but thankfully she was able to revive herself and give it right back to the S.O.B.
100%. I cringe when he appears now… and such a lack of creativity to try out an affair between him and Willow. I just do not see him as “Drew” or a “Quartermaine”.
Is Livvie Locke still alive?
Are we 666% sure that Sam is going to be killed off? Or might she leave town for other reasons?
Today’s episode hasn’t aired in Hell yet, but here’s a question for y’all…..
Suppose a rogue Federal agent had taken your child’s father away from him for 2.5 years. And now that same rogue Federal agent was targeting your little sister, at the very time that she’s trying to recover from both physical and emotional trauma. How far would you go to express your anger toward’s that person?
Of course it may appear that something else happened…. for the moment. But we all know who’s NOT leaving Port Charles anytime soon.. unless they really want to officially announce that GH is cancelled before 2024 ends. Let’s just say the ballistic experts at the PCPD have their work cut out for them.
So I’m thinking Sam’s next address might be a cell at Pentonville, as opposed to an air conditioned condo here in Hell.
I’m sensing there is something big (but secret) going on behind the scenes. When Rebecca Herbst was let go, many lead GH actors quickly spoke up in her defense (by saying how upset they were). So far after this announcement, nothing. Plus the rumors of KeMo not being as ‘dialed in to Sam’ as she used to be during scenes (since 2017).
Plz keep Kelly Monaco..she is such an important character to GH..and simply put she is a joy to watch
I think that Sam Michael has been a part of GH since the beginning and she’s one of the younger ones that I started watching the show and if she goes, I go. I cannot believe that you’re taking away somebody who is brats so much to the show and delivered all the time.
When she was with Jason, we were good to our seats now she’s with Auntie and we’re still glued to our seats. She shouldn’t have to go just because Linda is coming in. It can be a fight tween her and Dante holding their home together and Lola finding her way.
If I had to pick, I would pick Sam over Lulu. Lulu can find her way through the show and make her way with the kids and her like that she will be happy just to be alive and people will welcome her and love her.
She made her choice and moved on from Dante.
This is a bad move for General Hospital, and I do not agree with it. I would like to start a petition to “ Save Sam”.
Let us Save Sam please! ❤️❤️
When the leather jackets got to be too boring, something had to give. Magically, whoever wrote the Sam and Dante relationship should get a gold star! I really look forward to their scenes. Sam has a mother, two sisters kids and lots of connections with others in PC. Why let her go? I hope Sam rolls out like she rolled in, mysterious and kidnaped and taken to Jerry Jax! [All off camera] Jerry needs her to pull off the ultimate heist! It wont be easy. It will be months and months of Sam being away from her loved ones while trying to appease Jerry and ultimately turning on him and finding her way back to PC. In other words, don’t kill her off. Have her disappear and let Ric, Lucky, Holly and all the other guest stars run through their commitment and then there is room for Sam!
I think this is a bracing, bold move that will shake up the canvas and provide years of compelling, umbrella stories for the entire cast. I have never really gotten the character of Sam. To me, she was just another hypocritical mob moll like Carly. She never could embrace or “forgive” her own father for his mob lifestyle, and yet she always supported Jason and Sonny, two serial killer.
It’s sad to see anyone lose their job, but I think the long term developments will outweigh this decision. And who are we kidding? There is no such thing as dead dead in soaps anymore. I find that sad as death loses its impact and it is hard to invest in the emotion of the story. But she could come back as Sam or a look alike or whatever.
I think this will provide some outstanding acting and up the stakes immeasurably on the show.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
