This is when Monaco hopped on the thread and replied to the above comment, stating, “’No primary role’.. do your homework. When Billy Miller was fired, Sam’s storyline stopped.
Stripping Sam of every characteristic she had. Something I worked for decades to build… Slowly dismantling her, into a character that I did not recognize, let alone the audience.
Call it what you will… retaliation at it[s] finest. I will give a proper statement. The truth will set you free.”
General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco Vows To Tell More
The above IG comment, which has since been deleted, comes off the cusp of another IG post that the actress uploaded on her own Instagram account on Sunday, September 15.
She posted a photo of her and the late Billy Miller as a tribute on the first anniversary of his passing. In the post, she promised to tell her and Miller’s “side of the story” at some point soon.
Interestingly enough, October 1 marks 21 years of Kelly Monaco playing Sam McCall. Even more interesting is that her mom recently hopped on X/Twitter and alerted fans that Friday, September 27 was the last filming day for Monaco at GH.
