Does Dominic Zamprogna Keep In Touch With Fired ‘GH’ Co-Star?
Most people have work friends and ‘real life’ friends. Very few people keep in touch once a co-worker is let go or leaves the job. Is it different for soap stars who spend hours filming together every day? GH star Dominic Zamprogna reveals if he keeps in touch with his fired co-star, Kelly Monaco.

Dominic Zamprogna Reflects On Working With Kelly Monaco
Fans were shocked in August when news broke that Kelly Monaco was fired from GH after twenty-one years. Her co-star, Dominic Zamprogna, just marked fifteen years with the soap. Their characters, Sam and Dante, have been romantically linked since 2021.
Zamprogna opened up to Soap Opera Digest about bonding with Kelly Monaco once their characters got together.
“You become fast friends with people that you work with like that. You’re in the trenches of 14, 15-hour days and shooting nights and everyone in the crew becomes like family, your castmates become like family — you argue and love each other like family do, and the three-and-a-half years that we were together on the show were a big, important time of my life and in my character’s life.”
Do They Keep In Touch?
Kelly Monaco shot her final scenes at the end of September. Dominic Zamprogna told SOD that his friendship with Kelly Monaco “won’t end” just because she’s no longer on set. Nearly two months later, are they still in touch?
The actor said that he checks in on his former co-star “every week.”
