General Hospital fans are in shock over the news that actress Kelly Monaco got fired from the show.
General Hospital News: The Real Reason Why Kelly Monaco Got Fired
It has been reported that the soap opera star, who is best known for her role as Sam McCall, is leaving after spending more than two decades on the show. It is being reported that her character is going to be killed off.
When Carolyn Hinsey, of Soap Opera Digest, suggested that Kelly lost her job simply because she was calling off too much, the internet went off.
Carolyn wrote on her X account, “Not surprising considering how much work Kelly has missed in the last few years and how much money #GH spent on emergency recasting. I hope she’s okay.”
That’s when a lot of her fans and followers sure did have a lot to say about the matter.
Some even commented with, “What are you talking about… you’re saying she can’t have problems that pops up in her real life… and therefore needs time off… she is a human being.”
Another critic wrote, “Well, I must agree with Carolyn on this statement. Kelly has missed work several times but I am a little surprised that they are killing her character.”
“When you look at the entire picture, another character has missed a lot of work , Kirsten Storms but she’s had a lot of medical issues. I want to give kudos on her weight loss! You’re looking good! Keep it going!! Good luck Kelly!”
And then there was this comment as well: “She had legitimate reasons for those absences (deaths of friends, sick with covid, house burnt down, etc) and has given 21 years of her life to the character and the show.”

“So it is surprising, given the circumstances. In any other job they’d have a wrongful termination lawsuit.”

Kelly Monico is the best Sam that they had. It’s terrible that she is leaving the show. She has been there for 20 years, why change a good thing. Are they crazy.
Sorry folks, Kelly is a horrible actress. She’s given the same script over and over. Which is boring. Her monotone voice is hard for me to keep focused on the conversation.
Should have done it a long time ago I never understood why she was so liked her voice is terrible
Wow gh writers I would never guess you get rid of Kelly . Bad choice you are going lose lot of viewers. I will be one of them.
This is the real world. Actors are not exempt from what happens to real people – every day! She still has plenty of time to move on to something new, and if she stops botoxing her lips she’ll be beautiful enough for a long time! Good luck to her! GH will go on.
I agree with you LJR. No one is exempt from job loss. And I agree about her botox duck lips, she needs to stop… IMO, at one time, Kelly Monaco was one of the most beautiful woman in the soap and small screen world. But now it hurts to look at her.
Hopefully, another soap or maybe a series will snatch her up.🤞
You are making big mistake letting Kelly go so give another chance and give her time off. We all need break sometime she is good at what she does keep her on set!
