In a shock we’re still reeling from, on August 26, news broke that Kelly Monaco is leaving General Hospital. The actress has played Samantha McCall for over 20 years, and the character has become a fan favorite. Plus, Sam’s relationship with Jason (Steve Burton) easily goes down in General Hospital history as one of the great romances. Although she’s currently paired with Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), we always assumed she’d eventually work her way back to Jason once she let her anger with Stone Cold subside.
Unfortunately, with news that Monaco is leaving the soap, it seems like a #JaSam reunion just isn’t in the cards. If you’re thinking a reunion could still happen with a recast of Sam, we have even more bad news. According to Soap Opera Network, the character is being killed off the soap altogether. As we wait for General Hospital producers, ABC or Monaco to confirm this latter revelation, we’re left saddened by Sam’s potentially deadly departure.
