However, recent reports have confirmed that Monaco is indeed out as Sam, leaving fans wondering about the future of the beloved character.
According to Soap Opera Network, sources have confirmed that Monaco is no longer playing Sam on the ABC soap.
The ABC show has reportedly decided to terminate the character entirely, a move that reportedly “blindsided” Monaco, who has portrayed Sam since 2003.
Monaco’s departure marks the end of a significant era for General Hospital. She has been a staple of the show for over two decades, earning two Daytime Emmy nominations for her portrayal of Sam.
In addition to her work on General Hospital, Monaco has also appeared in the spin-off Port Charles and has competed on the popular reality show Dancing with the Stars.
General Hospital – No Official Reason Has been Announced
While the reasons for Monaco’s departure remain unclear, fans are expressing their disappointment and concern about the future of Sam McCall. Many are hoping that the character will eventually be recast, allowing the story to continue.
However, early information seems to allude to the fact the character will be killed off.
As fans await further updates on the situation, it remains to be seen how General Hospital will address Sam’s absence. The General Hospital producers will need to carefully navigate this major change and ensure that the storyline remains engaging and satisfying for viewers.
