General Hospital’ Teases Sam McCall’s Dramatic Fate—What’s Next for the Fan-Favorite?
General Hospital fans don’t want to accept the news that Kelly Monaco is leaving the show. How will Sam McCall leave Port Charles? The soap teased Sam’s fate, sparking hope among fans that Sam may survive after all.
General Hospital Teases Sam McCall’s Fate
News broke in August that Kelly Monaco was fired from General Hospital after twenty years of playing Sam McCall. A group of dedicated fans did everything they could think of to get the show to change course and rehire the actress. The I Stand With Kelly campaign even had a truck circling the studio for eight hours a day.
However, with Sam about to undergo surgery to donate part of her liver to Lulu, it seems as though the efforts didn’t work. Or did they? In a new preview clip, Sam second-guesses doing under the knife.
Fan Slam Steve Burton For Final JaSam Scene
Jason (Steve Burton) and Sam were one of the most popular couples on the ABC soap for years. But the characters were split up when Jason was presumed dead. Sam has since moved on to a relationship with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna.)
Sam made the rounds in Port Charles this week to let Jason and Drew (Cameron Mathison) know that she was having surgery to give part of her liver to Lulu Spencer (Dante’s ex-wife, by the way. How soapy!)
One upset fan took to Twitter to vent about the scene between Sam, Jason and Drew. They wrote, “CM hugs Kelly and SB just stands there … scripted or not he could/should have pulled her in for a hug as she walking away.”
Steve Burton already riled fans with his response to Kelly Monaco’s firing. Several GH fans speculated in the replies that there’s bad blood between the co-stars:
- “I think the fallout still lingers for KM concerning GH firing Billy Miller when SB returned to resume his role as Jason. Kelly spoke out about it and fans assumed Sam and Jason would reunite but KM couldn’t fake it. She was angry. Still might be. That scene IMO proves it.”
- “If the rumors are true, there is no love lost between the actors and they do not enjoy working together.”
- “I found the chemistry between these 2 actors changed dramatically after Jason’s return. Even when Kelly and Steve had scenes together, something was off. This couple burned the screen up before, so I wonder if they had a falling out off camera that prompted Kelly’s exit.”
- “I don’t think she was happy when he returned and Billy was let go.”
Kelly Monaco has promised to spill all the tea about her unexpected exit. Her last air date hasn’t been officially confirmed but Sam seemingly has a change of heart and has the surgery later this week. Will she make it off the operating table? Tune in to find out.
