In September, Monaco revealed that she’d been sober for over six months. Recently, the Port Charles alum has been sharing insight into her life as she spends time with family and more. Since her 2024 exit from GH, the Sam McCall actress has kept a low-profile. She recently announced that she will be appearing alongside her longtime friend Greg Vaughan at a New Jersey event in December.
Monaco also remembered the late Billy Miller on his birthday. The 50-year-old shared a letter her former costar and onscreen love interest had written when he left the ABC soap.
“Maybe our goodbye is an earnest hope for the brightest path forward for us all. Maybe our goodbye is honoring growth and lessons learned. Now, instead of sadness, I am filled with gratitude for all your support, encouragement, and every emotion shared. I cherish the journey we have taken together. Thank you for following me into your homes and lives. With every ounce of myself, I thank you for being you,” Miller wrote in his letter.
