Is Sam Really Dead? 5 Ways ‘General Hospital’ Could Bring Kelly Monaco Back
Every soap opera fan knows no one is ever truly gone in the world of soaps. Characters are seemingly killed off, only to be brought back years later. The possibilities are endless.
Kelly Monaco‘s exit from General Hospital has garnered outcry from fans who have watched her play the fiercely beloved Sam McCall for 20 years. Her character died on the soap in the October 30 episode, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the last we’ll see of her in the show.
Given soap history, there are a number of ways Monaco could return to GH (if she wants that). Let’s break down the most plausible (and implausible) theories.
1. Sam has a twin.
It’s a soap tale as old as time. A mysterious twin pops up out of nowhere. It’s already happened with Jason and Drew (and countless others). Why couldn’t the same happen with Sam? Surprisingly, a twin for Sam has not been a storyline for her character (yet).
2. Alicia Montenegro returns.
Technically, Sam does have a doppelgänger, who is still alive out there. Monaco only appeared for a handful of episodes as Alicia Montenegro in 2005, but as far as we know, she’s still kicking and likely in prison. Could she escape and head to Port Charles?
3. Sam faked her death.
For reasons we don’t even need to understand right now! Plenty of characters have faked their deaths only to make a grand re-entrance years later. Sam didn’t die offscreen, so this makes the theory a little more complicated, but it’s still doable!
4. This is all a dream.
Look, all Sam McCall fans hope this is the case. Monaco’s departure is a shocking blow to the fandom. We all just want to wake up and forget this whole exit ever happened. A dream scenario doesn’t really fit in the world of GH, especially since it could erase Lulu Spencer’s return, but it’s not impossible. Maybe Sam just had a really bad nightmare.
5. Monaco could return to Port Charles as Livvie Locke.
This is far-fetched, but I’m a Port Charles fan for life. Before she was Sam McCall, Monaco played Livvie Locke on the General Hospital spinoff Port Charles. Supposedly, Livvie’s death was confirmed in 2013, but, again, this is the world of soaps. They tried to retcon the whole Caleb/Livvie storyline on General Hospital, but I still believe there’s a way Livvie could be lurking around!
Do you think Monaco will ever return to General Hospital? If so, how would you like her to come back? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

I think you should bring Sam back.Think of a reason why her death was faked and bring her back. What ever the reason was you let her go it doesnt matter now. The fans want her back.

After more than 30 plus decades I will no longer watch GH!!! Such a poor send off for someone that has been on the soap for 20 plus years, especially when she was saving a life!!!

Why? Shows been on the air for 60 years. She didn’t say 30 years watching Kelly.

I'm as old as dirt & have watched from day 1, when the show was only a half hour. Sam's death was uncalled for and done in very poor taste. May make some people think twice about being an organ donor. Organ donation saves many lives, this scenerio is far fetched. Kelly, you will be missed.

Essence it's been black and white and a half hour however they should have never taken her off after saving a life of being an organ donor I think that was very wrong they should just bring her back somehow no twin no nothing just Sam all over again

I feel the same way. They got rid of her like she was nothing! How can GH do such a inhumane decision??????

My heart is broken. I have been watching GH since the 80’s. Sam/Kelly was a staple to GH. The reason gh has lasted this long is because of the fans! What happen to caring about what the fans want. You killed off a part of GH. She was more than an actress to GH. We never even got our Jasam reunion. I will not be watching GH any more. Not that GH cares about their fans!

Same here. The dolts they have on this soap now serve no purpose but let's get real in the 80's when this soap ruled nothing could stop it. Everything about the 80's was the last great decade of America. But the writers are idiots with a sixth grade education.

Super dismayed that she was killed off. The twin notion is not my favorite; Sam has some strong and important ties to Port Charles, so I really want Sam McCall to return and not a twin. Another idea, as farfetched as this sounds, would be to have a scene with the coroner indicating that just as s/he was about to go do the autopsy, the body is noted to be missing. Then cut to Sam on life support in some undisclosed location and she remains alive somewhere until that story is to be addressed. Perhaps make this part of Julian's return? He went to see his daughter in the morgue to say goodbye and there were signs of life (perhaps she seemed to be waking up or moving around). There are actually some (but very few) documented cases of dead individuals waking up in the morgue hours later, so this is not entirely impossible. Any way, Julian takes her to this undisclosed location and keeps her alive on life support until they both return to Port Charles.

This is a very canon Cassadine storyline. You are definitely a GH fan! And this GH fan loves this idea far better than what has happened so far with Sam. I hope they do leave the door open for the fans of Sam/Kelly Monaco.

Me too…Hope Sam comes back

I like the bad dream idea, that she is imagining all the horror of death.
They should get rid of Drew. He is nothing but trouble. He's not as sincere as the original Drew. This one is so self absorbed!!!

So agree with you.

Absolutely get rid of Drew and bring Sam back he is worthless put him back on the game shows where he is of beat the bridge and bring Sam back

I’m wondering if Sam’s heart will start beating again after all the attempts of the doctors 🙏🏻
Right now it’s a very sad exit for Sam since she has young children and she’s too young to die especially after she gave the gift of life and a chance for LuLu to live🤷♀️

So agree with you.

Bring Sam back while the children and Dante are there she deserves that after being a organ donor

That’s EXACTLY what happened.
I have absolutely no attachment to ANY chain this show anymore. Dumb storytelling. Story time for idiots? No one is going to keep watching crap! They bye bye ABC Sosps completely. Maybe that’s the actual goal? Destroy soap’s completely.
Again.
The characters have absolutely NO CHARACTER!! NONE! Not relatable anymore.
B-BYE GH!
See ya for the return of storytelling! And Sam!

The glory days of GH were the 80's with Luke and Laura central to the soap. Sam goes back to that era. They want those people gone. I am sick of Sonny and his tough guy BS. CAnt stand that ugly woman he recently married and am tired of watching Carly's hair grow back in a week. Laura, whom I love is happy to be fat. Her son comes back looking like a bumb and now make way for Lulu. OMG it just went to S>H>I>T

I think that writers and directors are absolutely crazy. Kelly monaco is such a talented actress and her character was awesome. Bring back the old writers who actually know what they were doing!!!!!!!!!!!
Soon they'll be no one left on the show😡

I agree!The writers they have now just doesn't know how to.

Instead of passing she goes into a comma due to neglect,plus Brennan takes Sam so Jason can help him get him on his team. Jason will do it but Carly tells him not too,but finally Jason stands up to Carly and picks Sam. Dante goes back to Lulu. Lulu dislikes Sam.

GH If you can write Elizabeth off too. Did anyone see the smirk on Elizabeth'sface when Sam was going into flatline? I had to replay it over and over. She takes her tongue up against her jaw like she is about to crack up. Sorry but Elizabeth is not that great of an actress. .

Shouldn't be smirking I agree Sam shouldn't off at all

These new writers are horrible. You all have played with our hearts who have watched this for 40 plus years saying our people are going or dying then not then they are. Unreal. We know the story line more than you do.

I don’t like how someone is actually a good person is being treated is this what is happening once your there to long and you’re old you get rid of them would you do that to your grandmother at least let Sam get married to Dante then let her go on a mission or something but don’t end her character geeezzz

I AM APPALLED HOW THEY TOOK SAM OFF GH. SAM IS A EXCELLENT ACTRESS. IF SHE DOES NOT RETURN? I AM NO LONGER WATCHING! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR 50 YEARS

Why Sam, just why? So wrong Heather comes back, Finn goes away, and Sam is killed off...? This better be a dream. I'm so disappointed in this episode.

I'm not wrapping my head I watch this soap from the beginning it's not right to kill her off

There had better be a Cassadine twist. Everyone loves Samantha. I am grateful that Jason was the second person to say goodbye. Theirs was the best love story on GH. Love Dante and Patrick with Sam but Sam and Jason are endgame. You always wanted to cheer on Jason and Sam even today. Thanks for the beautiful montage at the end. We needed that to remind us they are a Soap Supercouple! Thank you Kelly Monaco!
8
-
P
I don’t think Kelly Monaco should have been killed off I think Lulu should not have survived the transplant and Sam should have lived. But since you did kill her off I think she could have faked her death in order to go undercover for the Feds like Jason did in order to catch the gold thief that Holly is running from. Lulu has been in a coma for years to bring her back now with a totally different actress is pointless.
8
-
O
Unless they bring her back as Sam, what's the point? I don't care about Livvie or this Alicia person, and Sam's kids won't care about them either. If she's faking her death as you proposed, then the character of Sam McCall is one hell of an actress, how she laid there as her mom and then Jason, poured their hearts out, and didn't flinch? Sam McCall missed her McCalling in life, because that's an academy award winning performance. The whole "dream" thing was tried back in the day on Dallas, and it's stupid. The twin thing could work. Silas, or someone (Franco?), finds out Sam has a twin, ends her life, swaps her out for Sam and kidnaps and holds Sam hostage for some reason?

Disgusted that they killed off such a loved character and a core character! Plus, why in the world would they kill her off they way they did? Great way to promote live donors! Terrible all the way around!

Yes I hope Kelly Monaco returns soon. It not the same with out her so wrong of them to let her go or whatever the deal was...
8 1

I think that as sad as it was watching Alexis and Jason grieve over the loss of Sam... The scene was far to morbid and I believe the GH/Frank and the writers did this deliberately as if to nail the coffin shut for good.

C
I have been a fan of GH for over 30 years and at this point will no longer be a fan. With everything that has been going on with characters, leaving such as Finn, Violet, and now, Sam? Also the fact that Cody and Sasha are cousins? I love them as a couple. GH has gone downhill so fast will no longer be watching.
5
-
G
I just do not understand the reason for killing off Sam. She has been such a popular character on GH for so many years, and really evolved her character to make it her own. I can think of so many other boring characters they could have written off instead. The producers obviously couldn't care less about what the fans think. Maybe they'll change their minds when people stop watching the show. I have been watching GH since I was in high school( the 60's)! I am often left scratching my head about some of the plotlines lately. Please don't ruin this show, producers!

B
Bring Sam back!!! No reason to get rid of her! She is a great actress and belongs on GH! I’m not liking these new writers for GH! I’ve been watching GH since the 1980’s so I know what we like on GH and we liked Sam McCall on the show!!! Bring her back!!!
5

O
The writers destroyed her character!

G
I miss my Jasam!! I absolutely loved the way the show ended today with Jason remembering their past. I lost it when their song started playing. I so much wish it's a dream and she's not dead. Please put GH' # 2 couple back together (only after Like and Laura) Bring her back!!!!!!
5

O
How dare they get rid of Sam!! I have been watching GH since the beginning. Loved JaSam and was hoping that they would get back together one day. Now that possibility is no more. Therefore I will not be watching any more!!

“Sam” makes the show. Her character is sweet, lovable and at present showing that people can change for the good.

I think they should have done it differently because this is not good for people who do want to donate organs I just feel they should have used a different storyline not to mention she's a really good actress I'm disappointed in Disney

I think the executive producer should have his head examined. Rumor has it that he had a hard on for comment that was made about another actor.people are going to leave watching the show.Another male dominated atmosphere

O
They had no reason to let her go. One of dumb decisions. But I said they will bring her back eventually and I am curious to see how they do it.
Getting rid of her was absolutely like I said stupid. They had so many storylines that they could’ve put Sam into but nope, they let her go,

Sam and Jason should have been the next Luke and Laura. Their chemistry was so rare in daytime.

One of my favorite Soap actresses and a favorite character. I'm very disappointed the writers killed her off so "permanently".
While I'm at it... I liked the actress that played Babe on AMC, but the actress that played Lulu 5 years ago, owns that character. Bring the correct actress back.
And bring Sam back!

C
Cyrus is such a bad dude, that he could have somehow sneaked in to her room when she was asleep and given her a shot of some "death drug" in her IV (I think they used that on Robert years ago? Makes the person breathe so shallowly that they appear to be dead...). Then he could have plans to use her to get back at any one of his enemies! It's a soap, so of course it's a possibility!!
And yes, they should have gotten rid of either of Sam's sisters (especially Kristina) instead of Sam. And I hope Kristina and Molly feel the guilt every day of their lives, for how they acted so selfishly toward Sam before her surgery. They hadn'tbeen around during or after her surgery. They need to burn and feel that guilt forever.
But mainly they need to bring back Kelly. What a mistake those GH writers made.

Just bring her back! GH will never be the same without Kelly Monaco...aka..Sam Mccall...I amongst many other GH fans are Not happy killing her off! She is an integral part of
General Hospital...
Writers Made a Huge mistake!!!

G
Kelly’s treatment was horrible. I believe they did the whole Alexis and Jason sitting with her to leave no wiggle room to bring her back later. After 40 plus years I believe I am done with GH
3
-
R
The only hope for GH is to bring Sam back and rehire Kelly.. it’s clear as day JaSam is the story and super couple! Kelly and Steve are magic. Would love to see that she was held captive and Alicia has been in her life or her twin and that’s why she’s been acting so out of character. Jason figures it out and they find their way back
3
-
B
This could be undone by it being a dream sequence that Sam was under sadation while in operation. That she had because she feels like maybe Dante would go back to Lulu and her sisters needed something to bring them back together. I could undid write a lot of reasons she could of had under sadation. Heck!!!! Does anyone remember Dallas with Jr.andBobby Ewing .They undid a whole season.

O
Well, MAYBE, Victor Cassadine is REALLY not dead. So, he did something to cause Sam to make it look she had a heart attack & die, & he stoled the body & has her Captured on Cassadine Island somewhere with ABSOLUTELY NO CONTRACT with the outside world. The Cassadine Family an EVIL BUNCH. Look what they did to Laura, Jason & Drew. Anything is possible. I'm just saying. That's one way to put it.
2
-
R
I wish the writers did not have Sam (Kelly Monaco)die. I loved when she & Jason were together. I don’t like that Jason put Carly before her. Jason always comes to the rescue for Carly. I’m tired of that storyline.Ive been watching GH since 1967. The writers are not what they use to be.
I have noticed that Sam’s role has diminished lately, was boring.
Bring Sam back if possible & not as someone else.
2
-
R
I am so disappointed that Sam passed suddenly! I recently had 2 very significant deaths in my life, one to a heart attack and the other to an aneurysm. Watching GH has helped take my mind off of them, if only for an hour. This sudden death of Sam, just brought it all back to me!😔This is what I hate about Soap Operas. I'll probably stop watching for a while!!!
2

R
I'm so sorry that Sam character died from GH. Would like her to return and live a happy life w/Jason!😘😇

Gh should have never killed off Sam and the only way to make it right is yo bring back Kelly Monaco as sam not some one else that's stupid port Charles needs sam and no body can play that roll like Kelly Monaco so gh writers just made a stupid choice I'm am so over it

The vote was sad enough and then they had to kill off Sam. Really bad move on the writers or powers that be. I was thinking about not watching anymore. I have to fast forward through anything about Sam unless they are bringing her back!!!!!

Sam character was versatile, she could do anything, why get rid of this wonderful character, there can be no replacement, she’s the Best.
1
-
O
I think it was crazy the way they killed her off. They have to have a different reason than her being a donor because this is going to give people thoughts when they want to be a donor, I absolutely loved the scene with Jason was telling her goodbye and I cried like a baby, but they need to find someone poisoned her or something this does not need to be portrayed as she just died because she donated

I have watched GH my entire life and sat through some awful storylines. But this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’m done. The way they treated Kelly Monaco is shameful. She took the paycut and killed her. Stop hiring new characters and flesh out the beloved ones.
1
-
G
Hilarious. I'm so elated at that c word's offing. It just wasn't painful or bloody enough but it better be permanent. She wasted our time for decades. Sonny is almost better. He and Carly can go anytime as well, now that Carly has become a judgemental witch. She's better w Jason but not a good person at all.
1

-
O
I would like Sam to be brought back as Sam! She has children! I like them bringing Lulu back but it won't be the original nor the last Lulu! It doesn't make sense to kill one mother to see another? I would like Sam's character to come back as the way she played when she first started not what they wrote her into! The smart brave Sam! I have watched this show as far back as when the Webbers, Quartermaines, wandaSpencer's, Baldwins, Jessie Brewer, The Harry's and I love the show but this is not right

Killing off Sam McCall is a big mistake, big, big mistake! Kelly Monaco as Sam McCall is a beloved character, and I hope this portrayal of her death is a bad dream. Kelly has become a mainstay on the show. I am sooo disappointed in GH management!

Why kill Sam. Stupid. Maybe she is dreaming and wakes up.
Then Michael and Sasha, what a mess.
Resting from GH for awhile.

We could do without Kristina's character we could do without Natalia. Killing off Sam a intricate character was poor writing. Also in the last year writers have made Sam's character evolve in a way that was strange to who the character was is alwys has been. They are doing the same thing to Sonny's character. I will still watch but it sucks

They could have let her go into coma.so maybe she could come back in the future

I can't believe they killed off a beloved character in such a permanent way. There were so many other ways they could have done it, so there was a better possibility of her coming back. Sams been around for so long, I can't believe they wouldn't want there to be some hope for her return someday. 💔

Bring Sam McCall back let it be a dream let her fake her death whatever y'all do bring her back pay her more money like y'all did Jason even though Lulu come back to life let Sam come back to life as well otherwise you going to lose a lot of fan watching General Hospital and I will be one of them that's my thought on it
2 1
-
D
Another thing I want to say is hopefully and I wish that you are bringing them a call back and I wanted her and Jason to get back together and let Lulu and Dante get back together you all don't have to kill her off y'all make me sick y'all having some dispute over some money just give her a raise she been on there a long time you don't have to kill her off but like I said and she don't come back they are going to lose me as a fan and a lot of other people don't like that you killed her off either and I hate it when she broke up with Jason and got with Dante in the first damn place and that is my opinion on that

That it was all a Dream Would Be Wonderful. So Very Heartbreaking to see this, and as She said Gh Fired her as vengeance? How? & Why?

I would rather either of Alexis's other daughters had been killed off. I wouldn't mind as much if it was Kelly Monaco's choice to leave, but I have read that it wasn't.
I am glad we got to see Jason's goodbye to Sam. I had hoped they would get back together. They were one of my favorite soap couples.

I love what you said!
I was glad that Jason sat down an tell the life story about them from the beginning an he forgot to tell her the same thing that she told him!
But they are my favorite soap super couple in my book forever ( My Jasam) hope to be together to finish their story until the end!!

There was absolutely no point in killing off Sam. Writing the character off is one thing but KILLING the character is unnecessary. They could’ve easily just sent her out of town on a mission indefinitely or had her go to prison for Cates murder believing she was protecting her sister which would’ve been a much more heroic way to write off the 21 year vet and would’ve left the door open for a return one day. I understand that characters come and go but I hate when the writers write off these long term characters that fans have grown attached to and leave the door almost permanently shut without a possibility of them returning. I hope Kelly returns as Sam alive somehow one day with a new GH producer that actually knows the shows history and respects its characters and actors. I wish her all the best.

Km and Sam suck. I've never been so thrilled at someone's death except for maybe Peter August. recasting wouldn't have me saying 'yay' every time I see her pale blotchy big nosed face or hear them say 'Sam didn't make it or Sam is dead'. I've wanted this for years. Took them a while but it's well worth it.

She's good at detective work, the wsb could've recruited her for way secret stuff that she had to pretend dead to do the task then she could come back with someone she found while doing undercover work and they have amnesia. I would want either Morgan or Spencer or maybe both

Bring Sam back and Spencer Cassadine

I don' understand, they keep saying General hospital has been on the air since 1963
I remember watching when I got home from school and I graduated from school in 1960.

C
The character of Sam became dull and lack substance. Kelly"s acting was very vanilla, no feeling, just walking thru the lines. Maybe she just needed a break of her roll on GH.
-
B
Would love to have Kelly back on GH. Hated that they killed her off know she didn’t want to be killed off but wanted to have leave of absence only. They should have just left it for her to have a perfect window to come back without any drama of death.
-
S
The casket was closed during the service. How do we know she was really in there? She gave her ( I love you) hand gesture to Jason before going into surgery even though she was married to Dante.
It could all have been set up for some reason? Maybe Jason knew, maybe he didn't.
Seems she doesn't want to come back.
I can't speak for anyone else but I don't want her coming back as another character or even her twin. It's Sam or nothing at all.
-
R
I think they can bring Sam back when ever they want....Kelly is great, but lately GH put her charactor on the back burner... she needed a great storyline.... going after Drew would of been great.... that's who should leave the show. Bring Sam back soon... she's a PI. Dieing is part of catching cyrus...or something else. Come on GH don't make a mistake.

I love the idea of having Sam resurface with Julian. She should have never been killed off like that. But worse has happened. I want Sam McCall as well. Not a twin. The writers during the last few years had created a narrative for her character that was boring. Sam had become really docile. She has a lot more spunk and that needs to return with her.
-
R
Sam needs to return, this nonsense of the writers makes no sense at all. Soon GH will be losing fans if not already, due to nonsense like this.

G
Get rid of Molly. The newest version of Molly has turned the character into a cold, self-centered, unfeeling witch, Bring back Sam (whichever way possible) just DO it!!! Sam had such heart and soul and Kelly was so excellent as Sam. The writing has never been worse! TPTB are totally ignoring what the fans are saying and what the FANS want! Because there has always been such a huge fan base is why GH has endured so long. LISTEN TO THE FANS!
-
B
I said the same thing.
-
O
Hopefully it’s just a bad dream!
-
O
They Should Bring Her Back From The Dead And That They Shouldn't Fire Her In FIRST Place ABC DAYTIME General Hospital.Like Some Other's..THAT'S Samantha McCall (Kelly Monaco)
-
G
Her death could have been staged as some sort of leverag to get something from Jason and Sonny. And she's being held captive until Jason find out she's alive. Spenelli will see some surveillance to show she's alive. And here comes Jasonto the rescue. It's so so possible.
-
O
I like the doppelganger idea. Bring back Sam please.
-
B
Did she want to leave the show or is the story line to make it easier to bring LuLu back. Either way they need to bring her back to Jason and don’t even try to recast her part it won’t work, there’s only one SAM.
-
B
Stop it already !!! She died .. let it go .. this is just dumb …
-
R
They should leave Sam on gh and bring back Finn and violet it’s Sam could go back to jason
-
R
I like the idea that Sam faked her to death. I think Sam was a P.I. So that wud fit in with a really cool storyline.
-
R
BRING SAM BACK GET RID OF DREW
-
R
They could say she was working for WSB and faked her death and bring her back
-
B
I think the writer sucks and not having Kelly and general hospit's like not having a general hospital.I don't even really want to watch yellow hospital anymore
-
G
Sam could come back as a completely different character as a look alike. Perhaps a brilliant doctor that saves Danny's or Scout's life
-
B
I think they should let her come back and say that she had to fake her death to go work on a case to keep her family and Dante safe. She should come back and her and Dante get married.
-
P
Well she is a Cassadine...weirder things have happened (a lot) on GH.
-
O
Sam is important to gh. Everyone needs her back. She z strong beautiful and necessRy for everyone s happiness. When lulu we akes up a great triangle story.
-
O
How would you bring her back? From a dream that Jason has about her, to come true. What would the dream intale? The Mortician finds a faint heartbeat. She is at GH. SHE IS A SURVIVOR! Just saying.
It's hard to let her go...
-
O
I’ve been watching GH since I was twelve years old, I am now sixty- four (you do the math). WTF has happened with your writers. If GH writers don’t get with writing a strong storyline that keeps long time fans as myself watching GH will go by the wayside as other ABC soaps!
-
G
I think it should be a night mare and Sam wake and Jason and Sam are still together and Lulu is with Sonny's son
-
R
I think we're all in agreement that we want the dancing genius back from the dead, somehow, someway. You've pulled bigger shockers out of the hat, now, we the fans want another ridiculous one. Just please get her back however you can. OK. That's all. Love GH!!!
-
P
I cried on Wednesday when Sam died. I cried Thursday when Jason said goodbye. I cried Friday when the news was getting out. But, I didn't cry on Monday because there was too much going on with Robert and stupid Holly! We didn't need to see them at all. Oh, Alexis "was" really outstanding with her sorrow.
-
P
I think this is wrong. I have been watching this show for over 40 yrs this is the most horrible thing you could have done you could have killed off Molly. Sam and Jason were the best two on the show I'm hoping everyone that has watched this over the years stick together and quit watching the show as I will do. you could have killed off Molly or Drew or Ava. Would have been good ones but you do just the opposite.And ruin the show for all viewers. So thanks for ruining the show
-
O
Just bring her back asap and let her get back to her family and get Married
-
O
I have watched GH since the beginning but recently I have been questioning whether I will continue as too many of my favorite characters have been written off. Most recently Sam's departure!! It was not only absurd, but stupid, that they made the decision to terminate her employment! Sadly, a decision that has turned me off from continuing to spend my time watching GH!!
-
G
Agree… Never say never, look At Steve Burton after Covid mess… Her as a twin or that other person would be good.
-
P
Big mistakes writers big mistake. Drew should go off show. He just causing trouble for
Everyone. Nina too. Send them off together. They never made the show better..
-
M
While I'm very sorry to see Sam go, and agree that it should never have been done in such a permanent way, that's all about the fictional story. The real life problem is the way the show portrayed the danger of organ donation. While there is always a danger with any kind of surgery, organ donation is rarely the cause of medical complications for the donor. Having Sam die after an apparently successful surgery will quite probably cause many potential donors to change their minds. The actors and story line is fiction. The need for organ donors is fact. In the past, GH has tackled many serious issues, including Alzheimer's, abortion, LGBTQ community, alcoholism, and so many more. In fact, GH depicted organ donation when Josslyn Jacks received a kidney from Jake Webber/Nelle Benson. Jake was already dead, so if the kidney had actually been from him, it obviously wouldn't have caused complications. Nelle's kidney was taken without her consent, so she resented losing it, but it didn't seem to cause long term health problems for her. Sam was checked out before donating her liver, and she was found to be perfectly healthy. Killing her off will most likely have a very chilling effect on future real life potential organ donors. Shame on GH for killing off Sam, one of the most popular characters on the show. And shame on GH for casting so much doubt on the safety of organ donation.
-
C
I don't care how ..just bring her back. We love her.
-
O
Worst decision ever. What are the writers thinking??
-
O
I love the twin idea. Jason feels it in his bones that that was not Sam and he starts looking for the real Sam!
-
O
Horrible that they killed her off!!! Bring her back somehow. There are plenty others you can get rid of like Porsche and Holly and why bring Lulu back after all these years at Sam’s expense. Get rid of Holly, can’t stand her, never could!!!
-
O
If they don't keep Sam on the show l will stop watching it give her some more lines that she can y'all writers to get your mess together!!
-
G
I hate this scene. I guess I’ll stop watching because to kill Sam off to bring back Lulu is crazy.
-
G
Definitely not a twin. Not the same as our Sam. Doctors made a mistake or she's faking her death or she had a nightmare, but still saved Lulu.
-
D
I am done with GH, they took one of the very best characters on the show. Pull your heads out GH or this is probably the end of anyone continuing to watch you
-
G
She better be. I hate her & whiney conceited dead beat mom self as much as I hate trump. May they both be gone for good come Tuesday.
-
G
I think it was some sort of ruse on the part of Cyrus Reneau. I think that over time Dante will end up back with Lulu and eventually Jason will find out that Sam was whisked away by Cyrus and held captive somewhere. Jason will risk his life to rescue Sam and their love story can begin again. That is my hope ~
-
G
Oh come on. We saw her stu pic ug ily dead face. Good riddance to one of the worst characters ever on the show. Oh Happy days.
-
-
C
Kelly doesn’t want to come back !!! There more to this n Kelly n Billy Miller mom is helping to tell it all .
Billy Miller was fired also he didn’t want to leave to do prime . GH I hope u loose All ur money I for one will not support ABC I remember u. Try to get rid of Elizabeth n fans rally n she still there ..
-

She can come back as a ghost with the ability to show herself to one or two characters.

They should have kept Sam so Lulu and her could fight over Dantes affection! Come on.

I love Sam Mac call and miss Sam on on gh they could replace Sam on Gh and put a new Sam on Gh

C
I cannot see a reason to kill off Sam only to bring LuLu back. So crazy and unnecessary.
-
R
No need twin story or different characters just Bring her back Sam McCall and back together with Jason
-
B
Sam is going to miss so much
...Why did they take her off? She has been such a big part of the story...Sam u are going to be miss soooo much
-
P
It was a bad nightmare caused by an allergic reaction to the anesthetics.
-
O
Sam IS a Cassadine. They're really good at reappearing after being dead.....
-
R
I think it's horrendous that they killed her off. They have no respect for long term people. She's amazing and I want her back, she could have an amazing storyline. Bring her back!!! Don't care how you make it happen, but you will lose nany long term fans!
-
R
Why did you kill off one of your best actors who was a mother of 3? This is the worst script ever written. I could have written a better one Both Lulu and Sam would have had a better chance of reviving the storyline then killing off a mother of three. I've been watching since the 90s and this is the most disappointing storyline ever. Bring Sam back as SAM
-
G
Bring her back!! Make it all a scary dream.
-
O
I hate that GH killed Sam off. This was a horrible decision
-
G
The whole thing is ridiculous, just bring her back as Sam. Get some writers that have a clue and figure it out!
-
O
Please bring Sam back as Sam her family needs her!
-
G
It's crazy to kill off such a beloved character like Sam. She was the only reason I watched GH. They need to bring Kelly Monaco back to the show!
-
G
The Alicia Montenegro thing is a great idea! Especially after Lulu is awake and rebuilding her relationship with Dante! Dante would be driven crazy hoping she’d be like Sam. But , oh no, she’s NOT!! What a great soap plot!!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞
-
O
Maybe Cyrus or that guy that wants the jewels fake killed her and will take her away and she will come back another time. How could gh do this to her character
-
G
Sam needs to be revived before autopsy! Not dead after all!
-
C
I will not be watching I guess anymore want be the same the writer shouldn't have did that 😡
-
G
If it was a dream, who's dream would it have been?
-
P
It could happen. Look what happened when Luke hit Aiden with his car when Aiden was like 5-6. He was pronounced dead and I think they even donated his organs. And bam.... turns out he was kidnapped by Helena.
-
G
I have never been a fan of Sam so makes no difference to me. I am disappointed that they got rid of Finn. I did love Port Charles and would be happy with a renewal of that show.
-
O
May she RIP & never come back. To me, she was boring!
-
C
Bad dream! Lots of story lines can come from this.
-
O
She wakes up in the funeral home, right before she is embalming or cremated.
Her heart rate was so low it was undetectable, but still there.
-
B
I don’t think it was necessary for Sam to be killed off. It could be a bad dream for someone or her. Let Dante choose you he want to be with.
-
G
Wonder if Jason still has the Peacock and Phoenix. The two birds he and Sam carried around.
-
G
Absolutely bring back Livie and Caleb. Loved loved Port Charles
Remember when Caleb left the morgue with the doctor's coat on in General Hospital
Hay Frank let's RUN with that storyline. Omg.... something different! Kelly and Michael ❤️
-
R
Leave her dead. No great loss
-
O
Bring her back I don't care how bring her back and if it's the money please take Holly out we don't need no more criminals
-
G
Alexis fell asleep when she was in Sam’s hospital room after her and Sam talked and had a dream that Sam was dead.
-
R
I have watched General hospital since 1976 I can’t believe you killed Sam off bring her back!!
-
G
Why would she come back. GH did her wrong
-
G
The bad dream thing gets my vote. Dont want her to leave and come back as anyone else
-
G
Fake her death to trap Cyrus in his evil plan. He said one day he would give Laura to greatest gift of all.
-
C
Big mistake letting get away compounded by killing her off! She brought her A game every time the camera pointed her way. She would have chemistry with all her leading men and was so sensible as a mother. BIG MISTAKE!
-
O
Bring her back or I stop watching great actress she developed that role no one else can fill it
-
J
I'm tired of the hair farm, Carly. She cuts her hair off by six inches and it's back in a week. Please it hurts a lot of us ladies out here!
-
R
I hate every time they do this. Now we have to go through a funeral and all these people crying.
-
P
I truly hope the writer's screw their heads back on, make this a nightmare! Sam be doing awesome, she & Dante marry. Lulu wakes up, all is well. It will truly be awful without Sam!
-
O
Cassadines are always taking people and hiding them away in secret. In the morgue Sam's heart starts to beat again and they whisk her away to a Cassadine compound but she's in a coma. They use her doppelganger's body to fool everyone into believing it's her! Cassadines never really die.
-
O
I'm out,bring Kelly back or I'm done with a show I have watched for decades!! Lulu hasn't been a feature for yrs,kill her off!! Nit Kelly just as Dante proposed, I Luke the dream scenario,but do it quick
-
G
Sam has 2 kids why do the kids that way they need to bring her back
-
B
They could bring her back by putting her on life support and marry Dante..
-
B
Don't care either way...she had a storyline, served her purpose and it's over.

R
Sam need to come back
-
G
Sam can easily be alive Sam killed Alicia Montenegro to stop her plans, after surgery. Or she is Livie or not but else how can you Sam coming back 2 years later with no memory.
-
O
Can you check?Sam should come back and be with jason morgan.. if you, jason, and sam was a true love story.
-
C
Let her be faked her own death. Remember something happened to Lulu's breathing machine so maybe they are trying to get Sam too.. Maybe this is happening to catch a killer...PLEASE bring her back 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
-
P
Just ridiculous! People have been lost from show beyond the control of anyone. to no longer have Sam is bull and i see and feel this show differently than ever b4. I will not be looking forward to watching nor will I be watching daily as I have been for almost 40 years. #kellymonaco
-
B
Julian has her… the death is not real, thats my theory
-
O
Let's not forget Sam is a Cassadine and it's in their family history of mysteriously returning from the dead
-
R
This is the worst storyline that the GH writers have ever written. I thought the separation of JaSam was terrible but this beats that .What are the thinking? I am now done with GH!!! I only kept watching because I thought that maybe one day they would reunite JaSam! Terrible move!!! They should definitely bring her back as Sam and no one else!
-
B
I just hope they don't put her spirit into Lulu's body.
-
B
Alexis should have been the one they killed off!!!

-
O
She could also. One back as Livvie Locke Locke, her character from Port Charles
-
G
They should bring her back. Make it someone's dream. Or let someone steal the body and bring her half back and get Jason and new fiance have work together to so something so they can being her totally alive.

They focused a little too much on the syringe when injecting. Whatever the concoction might be, could induce a deathlike state.

I think I've never been so happy at the killing off of a character. The acting is spot on. The kids are amazing. I feel for Alexis. Molly is a whiney brat. Christina is not that selfish.
The other actress was prettier & better but they made her conceited as well. The only improvement would be if they had ripped her heart out and had Livvie eat it.

A dream.Sam faked her death to see if Dante went back to Lulu?

Dante & Sam.

Let her go don't bring back another character from the dead She was an excellent actress but time for her to move on writers ruined her story her character turned out to be so whiney & kind of boring much better when her & Jason were together back in the day Good luck to Kelly

Let it be a bad dream. Sam is still alive and happy to be engaged with Dante.

ABC/GH has no idea what their viewers want. Most viewers loved Sam. Should not have fired her. Also should never have canceled OLTL and AMC only for those to be replaced with horrible shows that are now off air. .
Bring Sam back so she and Jason can reunite.
-
-
G
I think it was a welcome turn of events. I grew so tired of how Sam dressed. Her acting was ok. She never had to stretch much. She had few facial expressions. Replacing Sam with the Lulu character is no bonus. Lulu was another shallow character in the past.

G
I agree but I didn't like her voice. Half the time I didn't know what she was saying. I remember when she was on
Dancing with the Stars she said she had some kind of problem with her speech or throat. I also agree about her
facial expression. Always looks the same Boring.

I welcome anyone else but Sam. She has young children which in itself, is a horrible thing they have to go through.
Felicia, Mac, Portia, Anna, Cody, Hell Holly! Either one could have kicked rocks.
