‘General Hospital’ Kelly Monaco Makes Suprise Return To ABC
Kelly Monaco returned to ABC, and fans are here for it. On November 11, fans got a giant surprise and are ecstatic to see her back on the TV screen.
It all happened last night on ABC’s 20th anniversary special for Dancing With the Stars. A lot of performers from the past came to the show, including Kelly Monaco, who won season one and took home the mirrorball. So many past celebrities came back for the huge spectacular.

General Hospital fans were so happy to see her since the ABC soap killed off her beloved character, Sam McCall, whom she played for over 20 years. The network abruptly terminated Monaco, and what was worse, they killed off a character she had put her whole life into creating and evolving. Fans started a petition and called the General Hospital powers that be to bring her back, but it all fell on deaf ears as of today.

Kelly Monaco Speaks Out About Her Firing From General Hospital
The actress did not mince words when she finally broke her silence about being kicked off from the place she called home for over 20 years. Her words were strong and threatening, to say the least.
She said: “I do have more power than a “job” it’s my voice, my experience, my truth. You can beat someone down, until they finally find the power within themselves to recover with grace and dignity. Those whom choose to bully behind their power, will suffer their own consequences.”

This Might Not Be The Last Of ‘GH’s Sam McCall
Loyal General Hospital fans have not given up hope that Kelly Monaco will one day reprise her role as Sam McCall or maybe come back from the dead, or as an evil twin.

Bring her back to General Hospital. I don’t know the reasoning behind why she was let go, but they can bring her back like they have done with others. I always enjoyed watching her. She was a good accent to the show.
I read that she got fired because she was tweeting negative stuff about Frank Valentini the head honcho at GH regarding the firing of Billy Miller. He, BM has since committed suicide. It’s very sad.
kelly monaco was at dancing with the stars but did not dance was wondering why not?
Bring Kelly Mannaco ABC and Disney she a wonderful actress on GH please ❤️🙏
