And so it begins … the exit storyline for Kelly Monaco (Sam) got underway, just how it all unfolds is yet to be determined, but on the Tuesday, October 15th episode of General Hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) learns some startling news. The hospital has located a donor match to save Lulu.

Elizabeth tells Laura (Genie Francis) who is sitting vigil by Lulu’s bedside the good news. They have located a match, and of course, they will need to run a second battery of labs, if the potential donor agrees to the liver transplant procedure to save Lulu’s life.

Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) visits with Elizabeth, and their talk turns to Lucky’s (Jonathan Jackson) whereabouts and his desire to run from Port Charles, yet again. Next, Isaiah tells Elizabeth he understands where Lucky is at, in fact, Isaiah walked away from his own medical practice after a surgery he performed went south. So, he ran out of the country, as well. Elizabeth points out that he worked in refugees camps; saving people’s lives. Isiah confesses he should never have run away and that he also think it’s a good idea for Lucky to stay put where he is needed.

Next, Elizabeth learns the identify of the donor match and later we see Sam getting a call from GH while at the batting cage with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna). She thinks it’s about Kristina (Kate Mansi). When she gets to the hospital to meet Terry (Cassandra James), the co-chief of staff tells her there is something they need to discuss. They have found a match for Lulu. Sam thinks that great, but that she should be telling this to Dante. That’s when Terry levels the news to Sam that she, is in fact, the donor match everyone has been praying for leaving Sam shell-shocked.

And wouldn’t you know! At the same time, Isaiah is visiting with Lulu, Elizabeth hears monitors and alarms going off in Lulu’s room from the nurses’ hub. Dante is not far behind and stands at the doorway distraught, while Elizabeth and Isaiah spring into action to try to stabilize Lulu.

At the Quartermaines, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) gets a text that Finn is being released from rehab, Willow (Katelyn McMullen) who is with her thinks that’s great news for Violet (Jophielle Love), but Brook Lynn feels twinges of jealousy that if Finn comes home, he will take Violet from her and Chase (Josh Swickard).

Things are not looking good for Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Willow, now that Ned  (Wally Kurth) is out to bring their feelings for each other to light for his own ELQ gain. So, what’s a Quartermaine to do? Hire that private eye friend of Felicia’s (Kristina Wagner) named Elaine, the same woman who has been slinking around Port Charles with her dog to trip up Carly (Laura Wright).

So, what did you think of how the stage is set to have to save Lulu STAT? Will Sam get rushed to surgery to get Lulu a new liver? Share your thoughts in the comment section below. But first, check out the scenes between Dante and Sam before she gets the call to head to GH and learn she is Lulu’s donor match.

I had a feeling Sam would be Lulu’s donor after they killed her off, but I didn’t expect her to die in surgery.

Agreed! I thought it would be more likely an accident. They sure have saved Dominic’s character a lot of grief by this.

How in the world is this going to save Dante a lot of grief?! It’s going to break him beyond repair!

Agree

Exactly- I guess she’s going to die during surgery or afterwards she want heal!

I’ll wait to see how it all plays out, but it seems like a weak storyline exit for Sam. Long term characters typically go out with weeks of key scenes or an amazing deathbed scene. Despite the many issues with Guza – he wrote strong exits for Tony and Alan. Tony (who had been pushed to the far back burner for years) got to play Lucas’ coming out scene and “saw BJ” in his final moments.

Sam seems to be going out with a whimper. We’ll see how that plays out in the days ahead.

I just wish that sam didn’t have to go that fast and Jason is going to be devastated and so would danny and Dante and also rocko least not forget about her mom and her sister’s

Kelly’s exit is pure insanity. Frank V has it out for her. He needs to be fired. The storyline dictation is leading to unimaginable things. Sonny shooting Jagger in cold blood, is just sickening, and now Sam of all of PC, is Lulu’s donor? He is destroying GH just like he did his other soaps. Get rid of him now.

Exactly! There’s no rhyme or reason to exit this awesome character. She’s been with this show as a staple for many years. She and Dante are a breath of fresh air in the middle of the dark storyline. Bad bad decision!

She sure have been a long time ago. She is the worst actress General Hospital ever had.
Maybe Lulu will have another chance with Dante before he leaves. Maybe they will keep him on General Hospital and Dante and Lulu will get back tohether

She is the best actress on GH maybe they should mix up the test and then miss Goodie two shoes Elizabeth can get the boot she is the worst on GH

i agree eizabeth character is so boring! i will miss the K Monaco.

Rebecca is an outstanding talent who the writers of General Hospital ruined. She had off the charts chemistry and connection with Jason that withstood time and every situation. Obviously SOD recognized them as a super couple to put them on the front of the special edition and they were #20. She was great in the late 90s and early to mid 2000s. I love Sam with Dante the blended family they built. GH is making a big mistake.

Hilarious!!

Okay I must have slept for that info that Dominic Zamprogna, Dante is leaving also, wow.

I agree with you. It doesn’t make sense to me either.

Sam spark is gone

GH needs to get rid of Frank Valentini. He is ruining it. the storyline dictation of sunny shooting Jagger in cold. Blood is ridiculous, and now Sam being Lulu‘s donor??? He’s just out for blood, and he needs to be gone. FIRE FRANK V NOW! It seems very fishy to me, he’s firing someone who has been on the soap for 21 years. I think she knows he’s to blame for BM’s death.

Blaming Frank for Kelly being dismissed or the direction the show is taking is an okay reaction. What’s not okay is blaming him for someone’s real life death. Billy sadly was dealing

He must be gay 3 storyline opened in one week overkill and getting rid of Sam! GO WOKE GO BROKE

Your response makes absolutely no sense.

(Continued) Billy was sadly dealing with severe bouts of mental illness. Blaming – or even accusing – Frank of being responsible is reckless and uncalled for.

I think it’s not right. Sam has been there for forever, and now she has to leave to save a woman that’s been gone for four years? Why couldn’t the writers just leave Sam and Dante alone? Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to have a happily ever after on a soap.

So true I can’t stand frank,they all kiss his ass. Finn is coming back,I guess he’s not fired. That’s great

As far as we know he’s not coming back. His reunion with Violet will happen off screen or will be a recast. Pretty sure Easton not coming back.

Agree

I agree with you. In fact, Sam has to stay.

She will die after transplant

I think it’s terrible that Kelly Monaco was fired. The writing has been terrible, Frank Valentin has to wake up before they destroy GH. Of all the family that Lulu has someone who is not related is a match? That is so unlikely. So now we all know how Sam dies, she dies giving her boyfriend’s ex-wife her liver. So now what happens to Sam’s children?

She needs to be out let her leave yes feel bad for her kids but the Dad’s have to stand up to the plate and take care of them and this Jagger thing get over it already he is dead thank God get rid of Kristina, Ava, and Rick, and many more you brought in the lady with the stupid dog why is she here no reason Nad is another one there is too many simply people on the show gogogo let them leave

Yes so true and well said

Well said, Angela.
It doesn’t make sense to me at all.

So Ned hired a P.I to catch Willow and Drew…and bring this to the open at a later date ….(Like in February or nx year ..storyline lingers once again)and puts it out there to either blackmail Drew or throw this about his wife to Michael in what his “uncle” and wife have been hiding for a long while now….NES is so conniving and so dirty when he wants to …To get control…l would’ve thought this story would have come out sooner than later….but as always soaps writers make it unpredictable

Ned is probably next to go from this great writer

I always knew Sam McCall would be a match. Since it has been announced that she is permanently leaving the show.

Hope Lulu awakes without surgery and learn that Sam was the only match. Look forward to Sam, Lulu, and Dante love triangle. Exciting

Not gonna happen. I would have liked the triangle also. Frank is now and has been for awhile GH’s problem. Would love to see him fired

Keep Sam after she give Lulu a kidney. Don’t let her go, you have to think about her kids how hurt they will be. Keep Sam or replace her character.

Exactly! It’s the perfect solution. No harm, No fowl!

Keep Sam she don’t deserve this

Sam gonna die on the table.????

Frank and these writers are trying to have their BJ moment and its not gonna happen, this is one of the worst decision by a show in years, I just don’t see how they think this is much see tv, I don’t even wanna see Lulu come back, Lucky returned is dull, and can someone get rid of Drew, this character is just unpleasant to watch, they should kill him off.

So, to match the BJ moment, will they have Dante put his ear next to Lulu’s chest and listen to her newly implanted liver once it is transplanted from Sam?

They don’t need to kill Drew off. He’s getting elected to Congress, so that exit has pretty much been written already. Just send him to DC and leave him there. And send Nina with him.

Yes Nina ,Drew, and Ned needs to go i thought Laura brother Cyrus would be Lulu’s donner. I have been watching this story for over 30 years i need for them to stop letting go the OG’s go they need to keep Sam ,
Jason,Sonny, and Carly and the other regular from back when. They are why I watch this story everyday . The love Sam and Jason had for each other they need to get back together Sonny and Carly need to stay together, and Dontae and Lulu need to be together. Jason do not need to even think about Anna that doesn’t even look good at all.The new comers need to bounce around for their person and scandals.

Agree

Why mess Michael and Willow love up don’t make sense

Sam and Dante has no chemistry not like he did with LuLu she is leaving kill her off tell Dante and his son she will save there mom not knowing she will die off the show don’t bring another Sam on if your firer Sam don’t replace her wrong move writers you need to replace so many people now they bring it the lady with the dog really what is wrong with you people Nat needs to leave the show too he is so boring trying to see if Drew and Willow is having a fair its crazy Willow is wrong Michael has stood by her 100 % and now she wants to cheat on him how stupid is that again the writers are scewed in the head they all need to be fired put new in fix GH before it be done

Yeah.I don’t watch anymore,show not good anymore need new writers

It is October full of TRICKS. I think Sam is going to die from surgery but I think when she passes she is going to link up to our favorite vampire, Caleb and they walk off together. I think it was too coincidental for Michael Easton to be canned as well. In addition it was said Finn is done with rehab. The pieces are falling into place. It is Halloween of course. Mayb I should write for them! Happy Halloween!

I knew it. Sam’s going to donate part of her Liver, to save LuLu. Then she’ll have complications and Die. Dante will feel so Devestated & guilty. Then Kristina will have a Nervous Breakdown an be committed to Ferncliff.

Just don’t kill off Sam…. Leave an opportunity for her to return

Yes, please

Okay call me crass, but why are we getting a liver transplant for someone who has been in a coma for years. Will it improve her way of life?

They will make her die during the transplant or after goes into cardiac arrest

Sam’s scenes from 8-26 to present make NO sense. She agreed to get tested on 8-26. Acted clueless when tery called her regarding the results and looked totally shell shocked that she was lulu’s living donor match on 10-15. Today 10-16 terry discusses the procedure, risks, and consent for the second round of testing. Sam told terry to not tell Dante that she’s a match bc she didn’t want to give him false hope. Next scene she runs into lulu’s hospital room and tells Dante she is Lulu’s match. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE END THIS CRAP NOW. How does sam go from being the living donor to the deceased donor by a miid November or sooner air date? Kelly’s final film date was September 27 and she found out Sam was being killed off August 26 again none of it makes sense. Can’t wait to hear Kelly’s side of things and why she keeps using the word “retaliation” as to why she was fired.

Writers, it’s wonderful that yall are letting Sam save Lulu, but Please don’t kill Sam (Kelly Monaco)off the show. The thought of yall killing Sam off is so heartbreaking. Please Please Please! Writers, please find a way to keep her.

I think Sam does on the table

Don’t kill off Sam, get rid of Drew and leave Willow and Michael alone. Get rid of lady with dog. Kristina needs to stop thinking of the lost baby as her daughter. Find a way to show Sonny wasn’t the one who killed Jagger. Have Jagger not be dead. Sonny and Carley belong together.

I think they’re doing one too many changes all at once, just to get views and I wonder if it’s helping. I would love for Sam to stay, but they’re putting her out the way when they could just put her and Jason back together instead of trying to put him with Anna that’s disgusting he dated her daughter!!?? Poor Sam all of her men get taken away by someone from the past…..#Jason #Sam #❤️❤️❤️

So many other characters that are inessential with weak or no storylines … Portia especially, Brad, Sasha and Cody, TJ, Dex, Lucy … and what an anti climatic ending if she dies giving up part of her liver …

I really hope they do not kill Sam from complications of her donating part of her liver. This would be reckless because it could impact people in the real world. Yes, I know that it happens in the real world but they need to use their platform in a positive way to help the Donor program.

Super irresponsible storytelling! They promote organ donation and then kill the donor? Shame on the writers. I hate this almost as much as I hated the Willow Leukemia story. A year later it’s as if it never happened. The reality is Willow waited too long for a full recovery with zero repercussions. Tell the reality story.

Sorry for Kelly but she had been unhappy there for a long time move on get the past behind you it’s a new day

I think it’s going to be the saddest thing, poor Dante out of all people… Just think about it!!!

the writing is very bad right now – the writers are going for sensationalism. ie: how many times did we have to see poor Christina falling into the pool? Why was Blaze let go? I enjoyed the storyline

Josh Swickard

While General Hospital’s Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) marriage to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) has seemingly come to an end based on trust issues, and his unrelenting believe of the innocence of his ex-wife Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) when she has committed heinous crimes, Josh Swickard is also being featured in another story on another platform in the new faith-based movie, The Space Between Us.

In the streaming feature now on the Angel platform, Swickard is playing Levi Boone, a handsome young solider, who finds himself attracted to a married woman played by Jennifer Taylor. The two have an affair. The movie made it’s debut last week on October 8.

According to the loglines, “The Space Between Us dives deep into modern relationships, following marriages straining under the heavy weight of busyness, unmet expectations, and spiritual disconnection. Described as a story of grace in the mess, the film takes a grounded, deeply relatable look at how even the best intentions can fall apart—and how faith, strong community, and honest vulnerability can bring true healing.”

In a cast interview, which features Swickard, Taylor and Kristoffer Poloha, the trio discussed their thoughts on betrayal in marriage, and who’s right and who’s wrong and more.

Josh Swickard explains, “The audience can get it from a lot of sides too where we can show it, and if you have crossed that line in your marriage. it doesn’t have to be over. And when two people are willing to work, anything’s possible. Not giving the end away. I’m just saying. It could happen. It could happen. People can end up together.”

Meanwhile, Kristoffer Poloha added, “Like, wait a minute, but this other guy steps in and I think passion takes over. I think what you see is how easy it is to stumble. Whether it’s adultery or whether it’s another type of sin, you can basically burn your house down in many different ways and how quickly it is to light that fire.”

The Space Between Us is from Canyon Productions. The company delivers faiith-based media designed to encourage, inspire, and uplift viewers along their spiritual journeys.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive

Published

Trina and Spencer

General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!

The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup).  Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …

It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris.  With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”

In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.

As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.

BACK FROM THE DEAD?

After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.

So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’?  Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.

Parry Shen and Lydia Look

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.

This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”

When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).

Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!
