Devastating Update from General Hospital Kelly Monaco: The News That Will Leave You Speechless
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 mother of a beloved now-deceased co-star is chiming in as well.
GH fans are sharing their frustration over the shocking news that Kelly Monaco was fired from her role as Sam Morgan after two decades on the show. The actress speaks out since the GH spoilers revealed her exit, and she may expose some of the backstage politics that go into hiring and firing.
Plus, Kelly’s getting support from Billy Miller’s mom, Pat Miller. You’ll recall that he played Jason Morgan and was later relegated to the rapidly created role of Drew Kane before GH let him go as well. His mom claimed he didn’t leave of his own volition.
We reported a couple of weeks ago that Kelly Monaco was being let go from General Hospital. A source said her firing was storyline dictated; however, that sounds like an excuse since the writers dictate the story, and producers often chime in on it.
What’s particularly interesting is that Kelly is clapping back at those who fired her on the one-year anniversary of her former co-star Billy Miller’s tragic death. She posted a tribute on Instagram, writing, “I got your back, and you always had mine. I will tell our story soon enough. Love and miss you.”
Beyond that, Kelly Monaco seems ready to spill some tea about what really goes on behind the scenes at General Hospital. Billy Miller’s mother, Pat, weighed in after a fan tweeted about how the powers that be ruined the best couple, Billy and Kelly. They wondered if the powers that be are stupid or evil. Pat Miller replied, “Both.”
Mrs. Miller also claimed that Kelly’s issues really started when Billy stood up for his Sam Morgan co-star against executive producer Frank Valentini. His mom said Billy faced consequences as a result, and then she claimed Kelly Monaco was told not to share her opinions on social media. Pat expressed hope that Kelly finds a better and non-toxic work environment after they wrote her out and killed her character, Sam, on General Hospital.
As fans await Sam McCall’s impending death on the show, there are questions about whether Kelly Monaco will film her character’s death scenes. That’s because Lindy Rylie is once again on-screen as a recast of Sam.
Some of Kelly Monaco’s former General Hospital co-stars, like Michael Easton (Finn) and Kimberly McCullough (Robin), showed their support. However, some fans took issue with Maurice Benard’s (Sonny) and Laura Wright’s (Carly) comments about her firing. The chief complaint among GH fans was that these two actors, who are always front and center and never sidelined, don’t really get it.
Opinions are divided on these comments. There’s a petition on Change.org aimed at Disney, but it’s unlikely to change the course of events, especially with Kelly Monaco deciding to speak out now.
We’re all left wondering how General Hospital will kill off Sam McCall, with the clue that it’s a storyline-driven exit. This leaves us wondering if Sam’s death will involve being a liver donor for Laura Spencer.
