General Hospital News: Kelly Monaco’s GH Exit, Says “It Still Doesn’t Make Sense” (2025)

The Bombshell News

Port Charles is reeling, folks! Our beloved Sam McCall is bidding farewell, and it’s hitting us right in the feels. Kelly Monaco, who’s been the heart and soul of the Davis girls for a whopping 21 years, just dropped a bombshell that’s left us all shook.

Final Scenes and Emotional Goodbyes

Picture this: Kelly’s sitting pretty with her on-screen fam – Kate Mansi (our fiery Kristina), the legendary Nancy Lee Grahn (mama bear Alexis), and Kristen Vaganos (brainy Molly). It’s their last scene together, and Kelly’s Instagram post is giving us all the feels. Her caption? “Last scene with the Davis girls. still doesn’t make any sense to me.” Ouch, right in the gut!

But wait, it gets more tear-jerking. TV mom Nancy Lee Grahn swoops in with some motherly wisdom: “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” – Albert Einstein. I love you. All will be well. There are some things a TV mother just knows.” Is anyone else grabbing for tissues?

Now, here’s the kicker – Kelly wrapped her final scenes on September 27th, just days shy of her 20th anniversary on the show. Can you believe it? Two decades of drama, love, and kick-butt action, and poof! Gone like that. Word on the street is that Sam’s being killed off. I know, I know – I’m not okay either.

Fan Reaction and #IStandWithKelly Movement

But hold onto your hats, soap fans, because this story’s far from over. The #IStandWithKelly movement is on fire! We’re talking over 16,400 signatures on a petition begging GH to bring our girl back. The people have spoken, and they want their Sam!

Kelly’s keeping mum for now, promising a “proper statement” when the time’s right.

Behind the Scenes and Family Support

But can we talk about her mom for a sec? Carmina Monaco’s tweet on Kelly’s last day had us ugly crying: “On this final day, just four days shy of the anniversary of her first episode on October 1, 2003, Kelly will close the door of her dressing room for the last time. This moment is a difficult one, but knowing that she has had such an incredible, devoted fan base has given her strength.”

And get this – in a twist of soap opera irony, Kelly was on set the same day Van Hansis debuted as the new Lucas Jones. Talk about a changing of the guard!

What’s Next for Port Charles?

So, what do you think, GH diehards? Can you imagine Port Charles without our Sam? Will the Davis girls ever be the same? Sound off in the comments, because this drama’s far from over!
