General Hospital fans know that Sam McCall’s storyline is coming to a heartbreaking end, as Kelly Monaco has been let go from the show, and we may have heard her final words on the ABC soap. Before heading into surgery, Sam shared emotional farewells with friends and family, donating part of her liver to Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins).
These heartfelt moments seemed to carry a sense of finality, not just a temporary goodbye for surgery. Thursday’s scenes could very well mark Sam’s last spoken moments on the long-running show. News of Monaco’s departure shocked fans, as she has been a beloved figure on GH for over two decades. Monaco expressed her confusion over the decision, while the show cited “storyline reasons” for writing Sam out.
Monaco claimed her firing was retaliatory and hinted at releasing a full statement in the future. As Sam was wheeled to surgery, her final words were “I love you,” along with a hand gesture conveying the sentiment. This unscripted gesture, performed as she was taken down the hospital corridor, might mark her last conscious moment on General Hospital, showcasing Monaco’s dedication and professionalism in an emotional send-off.
General Hospital: Kelly Monaco’s Emotional Farewell as Sam McCall
The farewell embrace between Kelly Monaco and Bradford Anderson (Damian Spinelli) was deeply moving, capturing the profound connection between their characters and the reality that their time together on General Hospital had come to an end.
Some fans questioned the choice to include Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) in Sam’s final scenes, but their presence honored the shared history between the characters. Sam and Sonny’s past is marked by tragedy, as they lost their daughter, Lila, at birth. Over the years, Carly and Sam have also had a complex, often turbulent relationship, adding further emotional depth to these final moments.
GH: Questionable Sendoff for Monaco as Fans Hope for Respectful Exit
What aired on General Hospital Thursday might be Kelly Monaco’s final spoken scenes as Sam McCall, leaving fans devastated as Sam shared emotional farewells, including with her children.
Now, there’s a real chance that Sam may not survive the surgery—whether due to complications on the operating table or, as rumored, interference from Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), who might tamper with her IV post-op. The surgery is being performed by Sam’s brother, Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes), who would be heartbroken if he lost her on the table.
Fans also noticed certain characters missing from these critical moments, such as Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Kristina Corinthos (Kristen Vaganos), and Molly Lansing (Kate Mansi), perhaps because of their newer roles and looser ties to Sam’s long-standing storylines.
Viewers are hoping GH will honor Sam with a respectful exit, acknowledging her sacrifice, her impact on Port Charles, and her dedication to the show. Kelly Monaco’s poise in handling this goodbye has left fans eager to see her grace another series in the future.
