Yahoo Lifestyle Kelly Monaco Makes a Blunt Confession About Her 'General Hospital' Exit After 21 Years on the Show
Kelly Monaco, who brought life to General Hospital character Sam McCall for 21 years, has officially bid farewell to the show—but not without saying her piece.
After filming her final appearance on the show, Monaco paid tribute to her co-stars as she shared a photo from the set, writing, "Last scene with the Davis girls. 😘🥲🙏🏻." She specifically addressed her departure, saying, "still doesn’t make any sense to me."
In the photo, Monaco, 48, posed with Nancy Lee Grahn, 68, who plays McCall's mother, Alexis Davis, as well as Kate Mansi, 37, and Kristen Vaganos, 28, who play McCall's sisters Kristina and Molly, respectively.

Grahn shared a supportive message to the actress, writing, "'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. ❤️😥❤️💫."
Fans rallied behind the actress, sharing similar notes of confusion and frustration like, "It doesn’t make sense to us either 😭💔 we love you, Kelly 🙏🏻😇💫🐦🔥," and "GH made a HUGE MISTAKE! Won't be the same without you. 💔💔💔."
"Terrible decision from the network," said another, while someone else chimed in, "A huge void will be left that not another single soul could fill. Luv ya Kelly."
A different fan declared, "Can't even watch without you💔."
Monaco's departure was first announced in August, and reports claimed that the actress was "blindsided" by the news. Fans were equally shocked, with many voicing their disappointment and creating a petition to keep her on General Hospital.
The actress' final episode is set to air sometime this fall.
