Kelly Monaco Interview: “I’m Glad They Put Me In Jason’s Arms”

Kelly has played the beautiful, strong, sensitive woman, Samantha McCall since 2003. Immediately after debuting as the scuba diving bad-ass con-artist, she won the hearts of GH fans everywhere. Sam is one tough cookie with a whole lot heart. Sam’s epic love story with Jason Morgan (then Steve Burton) will live on forever.

In this must-read ‘On Air Soaps with Michael Fairman’ interview with Kelly Monaco, Kelly tells Michael and the fans all about working with Steve Burton, Jason Thompson, and Billy Miller.

When Kelly was asked by Michael Fairman about “Samtrick” which is the ship name for Sam and Patrick as a couple, Kelly had many good things to say about this pairing on and off screen. Monaco explains to Michael that she and Jason Thompson have been fighting for a Patrick and Sam pairing for a very long time. They two are great friends outside of the workplace and have a real trust and bond between the two of them. Michael Fairman asked Kelly:

MICHAEL:

Let’s talk about Samtrick.  When they said we are going to pair you with Jason Thompson and try to broach a romance between Patrick and Sam, once they had established their friendship, what were your thoughts on that?   Were you at all worried it wouldn’t play?

Samtrick fans will love her heartwarming response…

KELLY:

“Jason and I have been fighting for that for a long time, since Steve Burton left, basically.  We were in New York like a year and half ago, and we went up to Ron Carlivati’s (head writer, GH) office and the writers over at General Hospital.  We both sat there and we’re like “Well?”  And they said, “No, not yet.  You guys are friends,” meaning, of course, our characters on the show we’re friends.  Jason and I were like, “Just try it!”  And lo and behold, I don’t know when they decided, but here is it is, and I love it.  Jason Thompson is my friend in real life, and he’s my family.  So it’s really great working with him – it’s fresh and new, and we hadn’t had the opportunity to interact like that on-screen before.  There is a trust there that you can make out on-screen, or whatever.  I am not taking anything away from Michael Easton.  I have known him for 15 years, but if they were going to shift me and put me somewhere, I am glad they put me in Jason’s arms.”

We want to know, what are your thoughts about Sam and Patrick as a new hot couple? Does Sam belong with Jason, or is the time finally right to move on with someone else? Are you #TeamJaSam or #TeamSamtrick?

JaSam Reunion in the Works

 Jason Morgan and Samantha McCall because one of the biggest daytime super couples of the early 2000s. Their love story was full of romance, drama, action, twists and turns, humor, happiness, loss, and everything that make a couple a “Super Couple.” Social media took this couple’s love story by storm and soon enough, every fanfiction all pointed to one thing… JaSam is endgame. JaSam became the ship name for Jason and Sam and is now used when referring to the epic pair.

Before and after they finally got married, Jason and Sam had been through the best of times along with the absolute worst. Jason was there for Sam when she lost her baby Lila, Sam was there for Jason when his health was taking a turn for the worse, and the couple was even terrorized by psycho artist, Franco, just to name a few.

Sam finally got pregnant but it was far from a dream pregnancy. Since being stalked and terrorized by Franco, Jason and Sam were led to believe that Sam’s baby was a product of rape and not Jason’s child. After Jason “died” Sam found out that baby Danny was indeed Jason’s. Since Sam believes Jason to be dead, she has no choice but the live with the fact that Jason never got to know that they boy they both love, Danny, was actually his son and not Franco’s.

We all know that Jason is far from dead. He is alive and well and under Helena’s spell. Although he is walking among the residents of Port Charles, no one knows, not even “Jake” himself, that he is Jason Morgan, husband to Sam, father to Danny. In recent episodes, Jake is having memories and flashbacks of his old life and the people in it. This week on General Hospital, Jason was ordered to kill Sam by Helena Cassadine. While in Sam’s penthouse, his memory allowed him to see Robin and have flashbakcs of putting an engagement ring on Sam.

It’s pretty obvious that Jake is getting closer to discovering his own true identity. As Jason’s flashbacks bring him closer to finding out the truth, Sam may not be too far behind. I mean really, how can she not know that the man she has had conversations with is actually her husband. Will Sam figure out Jake is really Jason before he does?

True JaSam fans cannot even contain their excitement as they sit back and wait for Jason and Sam to have their epic reunion. Fear not, the reveal is inevitable. General Hospital spoilers indicate that Jason will be remembering who is is very soon.

Jake (Jason) Attempts to Kill His Own Wife (Sam); Will He Interrupt Sam and Patrick’s First Time?

While Jake still doesn’t realize he is Jason Morgan, he remains under Helena Cassadine’s mind control. Even though Helena told Jake he was Jason, she has the power to make him forget it all, and that’s exactly what she did. A few months ago Helena did tell Jake the he was THE Jason Morgan and that he was married to Sam Morgan. But of course, Helena used her mind manipulation to make Jake forget that important piece of information.

Helena’s latest mission for Jake is an order to kill Sam Morgan. Due to Sam’s impeccable instincts and P.I. skills, she has a huge hunch that Jake was the one that kidnapped her in order to distract the cops from Faison’s escape. Because Faison is the reason her husband Jason is believed to be dead, Sam won’t stop until she proves her instincts are right.

Sam and Patrick are on a date together and Sam cooked him a wonderful mean. The two have gotten past the lie Patrick told regarding Jason. They are moving forward with their relationship and taking their intimacy to the next level. As Sam and Patrick went upstairs, Jason walked right in her door. He is at Sam’s penthouse in an attempt to keep her quiet about the night Faison got away. Will he be able to go through with Helena’s orders to take Sam out?

General Hospital rumors suggest that Jake will start having memories of his true identity. Will he remembers he is Jason, Sam’s husband before it’s too late?

Patrick Drake and Sam Morgan have a long history of friendship. More recently, the two starting expressing romantic feelings for one another. Patrick and Sam kissed, and the Sam put her emotions back in check. She didn’t want to jeopardize the friendship she has with Patrick by taking their relationship to the next level. They remained close, and unexpectedly, Sam found out that Patrick had been hiding a HUGE secret. Sam was extremely hurt by the fact that Patrick kept the truth about Jason being alive from her. But all has been forgiven and the two have finally decided to look past their fears and try to be more than friends.

Patrick and Sam have plans to spend New Years Eve together which could lead to the start of something wonderful for them. Is the timing all wrong? General Hospital rumors insinuate that Patrick’s ex wife, Robin Scorpio Drake is on her way home. Unknowingly to Patrick, Robin is not actually living in France, she is being held by Helena Cassadine as part of her evil plan to control Jason Morgan. If the rumors are true, and Robin returns to Port Charles, will she stand in the way of Sam’s happiness?

Let us know what you think! Would you like to see Sam and Patrick happy together or should Sam and Jason be reunited? Do Robin and Patrick still have a chance?

General Hospital Spoiler: Sam Confronts Jake

Port Charles’ John Doe patient, “Jake” has been walking around the city and getting acquainted with people he was once very close with, as Jason Morgan (Billy Miller). Jake had no idea who he really was, and then one day, Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) strolls along and decided to clue him in on her diabolical plan to control his mind. At that moment, Jake learns that he is Jason Morgan and that he and Liz Webber (Rebecca Herbst) share a son that has passed away, and that he is currently married to Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco), and has a son, Danny (Corbin and Caden Rothwither). The catch was though, that now Jason doesn’t remember Helena said that at all because of her extreme mind conditioning.

Helena is using Jason’s impeccable skills as a body guard/hit-man to her advantage. She has him controlled, that when she gives him a job to do, he goes out to perform her request, and when he is done, he cannot remember that he engaged in those events. His first task was to distract the PCPD so that she could help Cesar Faison escape from police custody. In order to do that, Jake had to grab Sam and hold her hostage so that Anna, Dante, and Nathan were more focused on saving Sam, than what was going on in the background with Faison. Helena’s plan was successful and Faison was able to go free.

However, Jake may not be so lucky. Sam is a private investigator and has great instincts. In her quest to find the man that helped Faison go free, she realized that the voice of the man was a perfect match to Jake. He also said the exact same thing to her in casual conversation as he did when he was under Helena’s control. He said, “it’s not like I haven’t got all day.” Those words in combination with the sound of his voice rings clear to Sam, but of course, no one really believes her. Especially Elizabeth. Sam approached Liz with her theory and Liz basically told Sam to get lost.

General Hospital previews show that Sam confronts Jason aka Jake regarding the hostage situation. Will she get anywhere with him? Since he doesn’t remember doing it, and he has no idea he is really capable of pulling it off, he will most likely wonder why in the world Sam would accuse him of such a thing. Or perhaps it will jog his memory a bit causing him to have brief flashbacks. How do you think Jason will react to Sam’s accusation?

General Hospital Rumor: Find Out Who Kidnapped Sam!

General Hospital’s week came to close with a bang after all the crazy events that happened to the residents of Port Charles. Who would have ever thought that Helena would be the one to tell “Jake” he is really Jason Morgan? And it was so easy! There wasn’t any hesitiation or beating around the bush. No interruptions, and no lies. It was as straight forward as you could possibly get. Helena told Jake he was actually Jason Morgan, that he is a dear friend to Robin Scorpio Drake, and that he is married to Sam and that Danny is his son.

But of course, there was a catch. Especially with “The Queen of the Damned” herself, Helena Cassadine. After divulging the truth and information Jason of his true identity, the ease of the entire truth came to a screeching hault. Helena told Jason that he worked for her, meaning she has conditioned his mind to obey her commands and not remember that she has anything to do with his behaviors. Helena wants Jason to work for her because of his extraordinary skills in the mob enforcement industry. She knows how valuable he is and wants him all to herself.

What was once so seemingly simple quickly turned into a very complicated situation for Jason. Sure, Helena told him who he was and who his loved ones are, but he isn’t going to remember her telling him this. Helena mentioned that she had a job for him under his newly conditioned mind. At the end of the episode on General Hospital’s Cliffhanger Friday, someone grabbed Sam from behind while she was watching Faison get moved into lockup at he PCPD. General Hospital rumors suggest that the masked man who grabbed Sam is none other than her own husband, Jason Morgan. Under Helena’s orders, maybe the job she had for her new employee was to kidnap his own wife.

What do you think? Will this GH rumor turn out to be true? Did Helena order Jason to kidnap Sam? Let us know by leaving comments below.

Billy Miller Discusses His Own Spin on Jason Morgan

General Hospital newcomer, Billy Miller explains his plans for the character of Jason Morgan. Billy Miller had some extremely large shoes to fill by taking on this role after Steve Burton created the Jason Morgan persona for over 20 years. Fans have survived many recasts of their favorite beloved characters throughout the years. The soap industry is known for their ins and outs, and the potential of characters being recast. This is nothing new, yet the news of Steve Burton leaving General Hospital to go to The Young and the Restless hit fans harder than any other recast in General Hospital history. The recast process seemed to take forever, and the powers that be did a fantastic job of throwing everyone off. With the on again off again rumors of Billy Miller replacing Steve Burton, fans were kept in the dark on if and when this big change was going to happen. When the news was finally confirmed, it stirred up all sorts of mixed emotions among the fan bases. Die hard Steve Burton fans were angry, Billy Miller fans were ecstatic that they would be able to see their favorite actor on screen again, and many people just wanted to give Billy a chance and then make a decision on whether or not he could be the new Jason Morgan.

Billy Miller is a hit with the fans. He is living up to the legend of Jason Morgan and his chemistry with Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber) is undeniable. Obviously, any recast is going to have minor and major differences from the previous actor who played the part. It is important to realize that in these situations, we will never get an exact replica. It’s important to welcome these changes with open arms, and appreciate the work that the actor is doing in order to entertain the fans. Billy Miller discusses the differences he is creating in this new Jason, aka Jake. In a recent interview, Miller said, “It would be ridiculous for me to mimic (the way Burton played him).” Miller states that this new Jason is a bit brighter, he smiles more, and throws in jokes to lighten the mood. He continued to explain, “It’s more fun in this genre whenever you can add some lightness to it or make it funny. You don’t get a lot of room for that so I usually look for it. It’s a scary position for this guy who is so lost and doesn’t know who he is, so you match that with a little bit of humor.”

Billy Miller is looking forward to when Jason finally comes in contact with his past. His past that includes his old lifestyle. His job. Miller looks forward to working with legends such as Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), Roger Howarth (Franco), and Tony Geary (Luke Spencer). In regard to working with Geary, Miller says, “I can’t wait for that acting class.”

Tell us how you think Billy Miller is doing in his role as Jason Morgan! Are you happy to have Jason back, or would you rather Steve or nothing? Let us know your thoughts by commenting below.

GH’s Kelly Thiebaud (Dr. Britt Westbourne) Jumping Ship! Find Out Where She is Headed

There have definitely been some major shake ups this year when it comes to General Hospital ins and outs. A few months back it seemed like the actors from General Hospital and the Young and the Restless were bouncing back and forth from each of those two daytime dramas. Y&R gained General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio, Colin Atkinson), while General Hospital gained Y&R’s Billy Miller (Billy Abbott, Jason Morgan), Michelle Stafford (Phylllis Newman, Nina Clay), and Maura West (Diane Jenkins, Ava Jerome), and more.

In more recent casting news, it has been confirmed that General Hospital’s Kelly Thiebaud (Dr. Britt Westbourne, aka The Britch) has been bumped from her contract with General Hospital to a recurring status. The newest piece of information that has caught wind by the soap opera social media is that Kelly Thiebaud is on her way to The Bold and the Beautiful. In a report from Soaps in Depth, there has been a General Hospital rumor floating around that B&B has made Kelly Thiebaud an offer she just cannot turn down. It has been rumored that Kelly will be joining the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful as Steffy Forrester.

A source at CBS denies this claim, leaving this rumor just as it is, a rumor. However, looking back on Billy Miller and the Jason Morgan saga, there was a siginificant amount of back and forth, even to the point of denial that this character was joining GH.

What do you think about this rumor? Will Kelly Thiebaud land a spot on the CBS soap, The Bold and the Beautiful?
