This situation simply doesn’t make sense. Several fans of General Hospital are expressing their displeasure at Kelly Monaco’s firing in a very direct manner.
General Hospital Producers Slammed For Hiring Emmanuel Jalbert After Firing Kelly Monaco
To make matters worse, the producers have announced that they have hired a new actor, Emmanuel Jalbert, only 24 hours after they announced that Kelly was pink slipped from the show. And for a lot of critics, they believe that the timing is all wrong.
Kelly has been playing the character Sam McCall for over 21 years, which makes her departure even more controversial for all of the fans who have loved her throughout the years.
And let’s just say that a lot of people feel very emotional about this.
Some have even taken to social media to comment on the matter with, “You fire Kelly and then we get THIS??? C’mon @GeneralHospital – why do u hate your fans so much that you don’t listen to what they’re telling u guys? Wake up.”
Another critic wrote, “So ur firing Kelly but hiring all these people we don’t care about so u can get residuals for creating characters when ABC eventually lets u go.”

“Too bad GH is gonna get canceled cause you ruined it and then tanked it by killing off Sam.”
And then there was this comment as well: “Imagine being told you’re fired and still having to finish filming. I don’t know which is worse, that, or finishing your last scene, and waiting for your next script that never comes.”
“It’s amazing to me that they would fire such a beloved character with countless fans who adore her and her character. She is a total sweetheart. They used her for the return of Steve Burton, and then fired her?”
So far Kelly Monaco herself has not made any comments about the matter although at this point it’s doubtful that anything will be said. Watch this space.
