Fans Beg ‘Y&R’ To Hire Fired ‘GH’ Star Kelly Monaco
The upheaval at General Hospital continues with more shocking comings and goings. The soap recently rehired a previously fired head writer. Additionally, fan favorites Steve Burton and Jonathan Jackson returned to the soap. Kelly Monaco was just fired after playing Sam McCall for over twenty years. Fans beg Y&R to scoop her up and pair her with a former GH co-star. Keep reading for all the details.
Kelly Monaco OUT As Sam McCall
News broke last week that Kelly Monaco was let go from General Hospital. The details of her departure are still unclear but fans strongly suspect the show plans to kill Sam McCall off to save Lulu with a life-saving liver transplant.
The actress has yet to address her exit, but Steve Burton said that the whole situation “sucks.” Kelly Monaco’s last air date will reportedly air in the next few weeks.
Fans Beg Y&R To Hire Her
GH‘s loss could be another soap’s gain. Kelly Monaco fans took to Twitter to react to the news of her leaving the soap. More than one fan suggested that The Young & The Restless swoop in and hire the actress to pair her with a former co-star.
Jason Thompson played Dr. Patrick Drake on the soap from 2006 until 2016. Many fans remember Patrick’s romance with Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough) but he also had a love story with Sam McCall.

The actor left GH after a decade to join The Young & The Restless as Billy Abbott. Soaps.com wrote an entire scenario about how the CBS soap could hire Kelly Monaco to play a new love interest for Billy.
Days Of Our Lives Could Be An Option
According to Days Of Our Lives fans, Kelly Monaco would be a perfect fit for the Peacock soap. A Reddit thread revealed several former characters the actress could play, including Princess Greta and Mimi.
- Brady’s love interest I like to see Brady have someone to be his plus 1
- She could be Greta (although that would make her probably John’s but if Leo were also John’s it’d be cute to see him have a sister)
- If Arianna Hernandez wasn’t dead-dead, she’d fit the bill.
- Cassie is a good choice mostly because she has almost no recent history so it’s a legacy character with a blank slate.
- This one is a hot take but since it seems like the show has lost Ari forever, I could also see her as Nicole (wig or lighten her hair up a bit).
- Michael Easton could come over as well and they can reprise Tanner & Molly from the early 90s
- I think Kelly could be great with Brady or EJ.
- Yeah Brady needs a new woman! But I think she’d be a perfect recast for Mimi!
Soap fans will have to see where Kelly Monaco lands next.
