Kelly Monaco Out At General Hospital, Will Be Killed Off

General Hospital will soon look a lot different following the unexpected exit of Kelly Monaco, who has played Sam McCall for 21 years. The surprise casting decision will likely have monumental ripple effects throughout the fictional town of Port Charles and the daytime TV landscape. With Sam being a key player on the canvas for over two decades, the character’s untimely exit will affect most of the remaining characters in some capacity. Unfortunately for Monaco, it appears the decision to exit the sudser was not her own and reportedly “blindsided” the Emmy-nominated actress.
