General Hospital
Kelly Monaco Thanks “Loyal People” for Devotion, and for Creating GH ‘What If Sam is Still Alive’ Story, Adding, “It Doesn’t Go Unnoticed … At Least By Me … Bravo!”
What General Hospital fans know is that back on September 27th, Kelly Monaco filmed her last scenes as Sam McCall on the ABC soap opera, after a 21-year run as a longtime fan favorite. Since that time, viewers are watching just how Monaco’s exit will play out on-screen.
What we do know is that this week, Sam learned she is a viable donor match to save Lulu’s life through a liver transplant. What we also know is someone was tampering with Lulu’s ventilator from further discussions from Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson). At the end of Friday’s, October 18th episode, we also learned there is some complication with Lulu even before heading into surgery, which is now a day away (although that will be stretched out to several days in soap opera time).
While fans of Kelly Monaco and GH watch to see how this story unfolds, we know that in the end, Sam is killed-off in what was reported as a “storyline-dictated” move, while many were hoping that when and if Lulu awakened, it would set the stage for a triangle between Sam/Dante/Lulu, but that is now not going to happen, unless somehow, someone, does an 11th-hour reprieve and rewrites the story and hires Monaco back.

The I Stand With Kelly campaign has been in full gear for several months with their petition of signatures getting very near 17K viewers protesting Kelly’s dismissal. In addition, with billboards in Time Square, and the truck driving around ABC prospect studios, much has been done to let the powers-that-be know that they are still keeping hope alive, that they will reconsider their position and bring the character and Monaco back.

Now, in a post on X, the campaign posted an elaborate and edited video sequence with selected clips from GH, telling the story of how they would see Sam being actually alive! They explained, “That’s right, our truck is back at Prospect Studios and ABC/Disney. Here is what we have playing on an 8-hour loop! As always, we added sound just for you! Due to Sam’s death already having been filmed, we expanded the ‘What If’ promo to be a storyline that has Danny and Dante figuring out she’s still alive. It showcases the resulting issues that come with Sam reclaiming her life—including: the originally planned love triangle concept between Sante/Lulu along with Sam’s conflicts with others in Port Charles. ”
The post did not go unnoticed by Monaco herself, who responded, “Thank you, y’all are the best, most loyal people ever!!!! It doesn’t go unnoticed… at least by me… BRAVO!”
Just how Sam’s on-screen journey will end is set to become quite clear on upcoming episodes of the ABC daytime drama series including official GH teasers for the week of October 21-25th which share that on the Thursday October 24th episode, Sam and Lulu’s imminent procedure draws loved ones to the hospital and on the Friday, October 25th episode Alexis awaits news on Sam.
Take a look below at the fan campaign to bring Kelly back to General Hospital below. Let us know what you thought of their ‘storyline”, then share how you are feeling after watching this week’s episodes of the ABC soap opera as we move closer to Sam and Lulu’s on-screen surgery date.

— Rehire Kelly (@GHTidBits) October 18, 2024
Watching Kelly/Sam this week with Dante and their family made me realize how much I will miss Sam on GH.
My favorite era of GH was from 2005 to 2009 because it gave us one of the shows best love triangles between Elizabeth, Jason and Sam. Aside from Liason fans finally seeing Jason and Liz admit their love for one another, and Jake being born, the next best part of that storyline was the rivalry between Elizabeth and Sam.
These two fantastic actresses were phenomenal as rivals. I was a fan of both Elizabeth and Sam, but after Sam learned Jake was Jason’s son and she turned on Jason and targeted Liz, oh how I hated her. I didn’t want to hate her, but I did. That’s how great Kelly was/is. Of course the writing was fantastic then. In fact, that storyline caused one of the biggest fan wars (Liason vs Jasam) GH had ever seen. LOL
Over the years the Liz/Sam rivalry changed, as did my hatred of Sam, and they, dare I say, became friends. I wish the show built that friendship up better over the years, especially since their sons are half brothers.
I will miss Kelly/Sam on GH. I hope we get to see her return as one day. I know she is being killed off, but as her fans said, we know she can always come back.
Sam touches nearly every character on the show except for the Jordan/TJ bunch. She will be missed. I find it a bad move to kill her with no possible chance of return even if the show had to do a re-cast.
She was friends with Curtis, and TJ is her brother in law. So yes she will touch them as well.. Maybe not Portia.
# I Stand with Kelly and always will I Will Always Support And Follow Her# RehireKelly and keep Kelly and GH Alive❤️
It would be really easy to reverse Sam’s death, and it wouldn’t even require an escape from Hell.
We know that Sam has at least two lookalikes running around somewhere. Alicia Montenegro and Livvie Locke. We also know that Sam has been acting ridiculously out of character to one extent or another, probably since Jason’s first return in 2017. Definitely since his second return this past March.
So it would be actually believable if the real Sam was shown to be held prisoner somewhere – probably a Cassadine dungeon, or perhaps NuJagger stashed her somewhere before he got killed off, as a “backup plan” to coerce Jason into doing his dirty work. And it was the fake Sam doppelganger who turned out to be a match for Lulu and went through with the donation, thinking it was worth the risk, rather than outright refuse and bring unwanted attention to herself, as Sam would obviously take such a risk for Dante & Rocco’s sake. Of course, Fake Sam wouldn’t know if there were some other “evildoers” running around GH tampering with ventilators and such.
Now would these current writers be creative enough to think of this and make it work?
Don’t bet your soul on it, unfortunately.
I just posted a previous comment about ydou writing the scripts, but I think you should stop now, giving all your good ideas away for free! Oh well, they wouldn’t know what to do with good material anyway.
Don’t worry – the writers don’t look to us or on these sites for great ideas.
They’ve never taken any of mine and I really have had some creative ones. I know Satan can attest to that.
Yes, that’s why we’re watching such crap now, like letting someone like K.M go and keeping someone like the murderous Cyrus to kill her off. It’s disgusting .
i will miss kelly she will alway bw sam to i hope they never recast
I wish her the best of the best but our family has blocked all stations just sick of the nuts . They will survive good luck!
Looking for homes on deserted island where we don’t have to deal with the constant verbal attacks on each other
I For one wish they would change their mind and keep her. I think she’s a great actress and an asset to the show. Dante Lula and Sam triangle would be perfect.
Here’s my theory on what’s going to happen Cyrus was the one that unplugged the ventilator because he is worried that Lulu will wake up and somehow remember that he was behind the bomb going off that caused her to be in a coma to begin with, and so I think that Lulu will make it out of surgery. Sam will make it out of surgery and Cyrus is going to unplug the ventilator thinking it’s Lulu killing Sam
I will miss Sam, she was so good, while they were giving her good scripts, but than they just stopped coming, especially once Jason got back and she and Dante became a couple.Seems like they just pushed Sam back further and further.Now they are throwing her off GH and letting Cyrus the virus of all people get rid of her. Talk about insult added to injury.I hope the new Lulu’s resurrection is worth Sam’s demise.
I don’t want Sam to leave General Hospital.
Having Sam die during the Liver donation is a terrible message to send to organ donors in general.
There are a gazillion ways to kill her off – why do it as a flatline on the OR table or having a serial killer messing with a machine?
In the coming weeks, the show has Terrorist Jenz Sidwell coming back to town for November sweeps. I do not get why they cannot have Sam survive the transplant only to succumb to being the victim of a Sidwell assassin targeting either Holly or Lucky.
At least then it would be Holly’s fault and we are all now hating on her anyway.
You would be doing GH a favor for running with it. This would be a dynamic storyline. I know this, Kelly will make any storyline the best it could be. I’m not sure who you have chosen for Lulu……they better match Kelly.
Frank and Nate Varni have shown General Hospital is not a show for the fans. If it were, Kelly would still be there and Jasam would be driving story. It’s absolutely shameful and makes me sick. They’ve lost this viewer, and I have nothing but disdain for those two. I’ll wrap this post with this truth… the disrespect shown to Kelly would NEVER have happened to a man #noKellynoGH #IStandWithKelly
Someone’s going to hire Kelly very fast she is very talented actress and has a lot of experience. General Hospital will be in her rear view mirror. Especially the way they did her

‘General Hospital’ Favorite Kirsten Storms Gives Update on Apartment Break-in That Caused “Unnecessary Custody Case”

Kirsten Storms (Maxie, GH) is sharing more details on the December 2025 apartment break-in and the difficulties she has had with the Tennessee police, plus how the original incident, according to the actress, played into her ex-husband, Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny, GH and ex-Stefan/Jake, Days) filing a restraining order against her and the custody case involving their daughter, Harper.
The popular actress had played GH’s Maxie Jones on and off since 2005, after coming to the ABC soap opera following her run as Belle Black on Days of our Lives. As GH fans know, Storms last appearance on General Hospital was back in March of this year. In recent episodes, the character of Maxie was written-out along with her entire family and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and relocated to Australia.
Now, Kirsten explained via Instagram and with shared photo of the December police report, which indicated Storms had placed a call to the Franklin Police Department to report a break-in at her Tennessee apartment. The report states that Storms was away from her apartment for about a week in August of 2025, and when she returned home, she found damage to the deadbolt on her door, as well as other missing items.

KIRSTEN STORMS SPEAKS OUT ABOUT CUSTODY CASE OVER HER DAUGHTER
Then, Storms fired back at naysayers in the ongoing comments on her break-in situation, stating: “Please do not tell me (or ask me) not to post these things. I’m hoping this is the last item I post (of the documents I have on the break-in at my old apartment in Tennessee). I’m only doing this because that lead to an **unnecessary custody case** being filed against me.”
It was back in April that TMZ learned, through obtaining of court documents, that Barash cited Storms for having mental health issues so he filed a restraining order against her. Kirsten expressed in her latest post, that she was asked to meet with a mediator in the custody case for her daughter, not a judge, and that her mental health issues were being used against her instead of people focusing on the break-in.
Storms added, “However, the break-in … followed by a ‘custody case/now mediation request’ where the break-in was the main reason for the initial custody filing, was unwarranted.”
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH CHECK
Kirsten also shared on her health status,”I have always been proactive about my medical care (all aspects), as well as Harper’s (<—— the MOST important person to me). I’ve also been attempting to get checkups with a neurosurgeon/neurologist for my brain aneurysm and brain cysts. And tbh, I have a psychologist that I’ve seen for years, who I’m kinda attached too. She’s f’ing incredible and understands the kind of therapy sessions I need. Addressing what should NOT be the focus (mental illness), is frustrating for me”
You can check out Kirsten’s latest post on the custody matter, and her ongoing battle over the apartment break-in while in Tennessee below.
Now let us know, glad to hear from Kirsten and hear more of her side of the custody story and her ongoing issues with this apartment break-in? Let us know via the comment section below, and if you miss seeing her on-screen on General Hospital and hope one day she will come back.

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson to Star in New Holiday Movie

The Stone Cold and the Jackal brand will now expand into movies, in news today on Monday, September 14. Fans of General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) will be excited to learn that the two will be starring in and are co-writing and producing a holiday flick.
Working alongside producers, Zero Gravity Management, the production team behind the hit and critically-acclaimed Netflix series Ozark, though the title and details are bering kept under wraps, fans can look forward to an upcoming movie that is said to be a “quick-witted comedy, holiday romance, and a playful whodunit, that follows two unlikely partners as they stumble into a mystery in a charming small town at Christmas.”
Burton, Anderson, and their creative partner, Stacy Asencio-Sutphen are working on the script. According to the official Stone Cold and the Jackal Instagram account, “While financing and distribution continue to be ironed out, there’s a casting call out for the two female leads who’ll star opposite the dynamic duo.

STEVE BURTON AND BRADFORD ANDERSON’S JOURNEY TO THE SCREEN
In a statement, Bradford Anderson, expressed: “We have the best fans in the world, and the constant question we ask ourselves is, ‘What more can we do to entertain them?’ When we came up with this idea for a series of holiday films, we knew we had something special.”
Steve and Bradford initially developed their on-screen. and later on-stage chemistry on General Hospital when Spinelli, the computer nerd would help Jason solve crimes or infiltrate the bad guys software system on GH. From there, the two begun touring in comedy and music venues around the country and since 2018 have co-hosted That’s Awesome with Steve and Bradford on their You Tube Channel, and have continued to grow their brand.
While Steve Burton started on General Hospital as Jason Quartermaine in 1991, it wasn’t until 2006, when we first met Damian Spinelli, that the two eventually linked up as the most unlikely pairing of “crime” fighters, even though Jason worked for Sonny and the mob.
In story in 2026, Jason and Spinelli remain close friends, although recently Spinelli was written off the canvas when he received a job offer in Australia that he could not pass up. So far now, Spinelli is living down under with Maxie and the children, while Jason remains in Port Charles.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: An Arrest is Made in the Disappearance of Jack Brennan

This week on all-new episode of General Hospital, WSB agent Baines (Alimi Ballard) is on the hunt for the person responsible for the disappearance of Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). GH viewers know that a deceased Jack was buried six feet under by Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) after finding him dead and floating in the Metro Court pool.
