‘GH’ Shocked!! Kelly Monaco Rehired! Fans Bring Back Sam in Epic Video!” New Beaking News!’
It would seem that Sam Morgan’s fate is sealed. Kelly Monaco has even finished working at General Hospital. Rumors have started swirling that Cyrus Renault kills her character by injecting digitalis into her IV after she undergoes surgery to donate part of her liver to boyfriend Deante Falconer, who is also the former husband of Lulu Spencer.
General Hospital spoilers for October 21 suggest that fans aren’t giving up without one hell of a fight. They’ve parked the Phoenix on Wheels truck outside the soap studio once again and are playing their own promo video on a loop, revealing that Sam isn’t nearly as dead as everyone thinks. They’ve cleverly woven clips of the new Lulu, Alexa Havens, from other shows to make her a part of the mix.
“What if the truck was back?” That’s right, our truck is back at Prospect Studios and ABC Disney! Here’s what we have playing on an eight-hour loop, as always—we added sound just for you. Due to Sam’s death already having been filmed, we expanded the video. Although it seems unlikely that General Hospital will reverse its decision, we bet on Monaco being reunited on a different show with an ex-leading man of hers. The actress was deeply moved by the elaborate gesture, tweeting, “Thank you! You all are the best, most loyal people ever.”
In late August, the news broke that the fan favorite had been let go by the ABC soap after 20-plus years. The reason was unclear, but fans speculated that perhaps she hadn’t been willing to take the pay cut or the guaranteed number of episodes being implemented by parent company Disney across the board. However, Soap Opera Network reported that she said, “I took the cut.”
Two months later, Monaco linked her exit to that of the late Billy Miller as Drew Kane in 2019 when he was fired. She Instagrammed, “Sam’s storyline stopped stripping Sam of every characteristic I had 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 its finest.”
