Kelly Monaco originated the role of Samantha McCall back in October of 2003. The feisty, badass, con artist, fighter, has come along way from her days of conning and scheming. She has found a place and made a life with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), and their families. Sam eventually discovered Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) was her mother, and down the road it was learned that Julian Jerome (William DeVry) is her father. Sam and Jason have built a life together with their close friends, Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his wife Carly (Laura Wright).
Kelly Monaco’s talent is extremely versatile as she is able to express her emotions and play many different facets of Sam. Before General Hospital, Monaco was already a part of the ABC Network and GH clan as she played Livvie Locke on the GH spin-off, Port Charles, where she played alongside co-star Michael Easton (Caleb Morley PC, Hamilton Finn GH).
Kelly recently took a temporary break from General Hospital as the show resumed filming after the Covid-19 pandemic hiatus. Kelly is now back on screen and fans have welcomed her back with open arms.
Kelly Monaco took to social media to express her gratitude for the supportive fans. Monaco says “Thank You” to the fans for the love and support the past couple of weeks and expresses her love for what she does while being with ABCNetwork for 20+ years.
Kelly Monaco has always been a personal favorite of mine. From the moment she debuted as Sam McCall, I was hooked. Her beauty and talent speak for itself and we as fans are extremely grateful to have her as such an important component to our favorite show. ❤️
As stated by Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) spilled the tea all over the place about Peter August (Wes Ramsey).
Spinelli and Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) have been trying to find enough proof that Peter is responsible for what happened to Drew Cain (Billy Miller) and his involvement with Shiloh Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin). Robert is on a mission to prove to Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) that her “son” is a liar and a criminal. Spinelli wants to clear his best friend. Fair Samantha’s name in regard to the murder of Shiloh, and save his Maximista (Kirsten Storms) from danger. Maxie is too close to Peter and Spinelli is worried for Maxie. Not only will she be heartbroken when the truth is exposed, but he is trying to nail Peter and fast- before he has a chance to put Maxie and James in danger. Robert is the only one in Dr. Liesl Obrecht’s (Kathleen Gati) corner after she was framed by Peter for sabotaging Drew’s plane. If he and Spinelli can take down Peter, Liesl will go free.
General Hospital spoilers suggest Nelle Benson has actually been good for something in Port Charles after validating Spinelli and Robert’s suspicions of Peter.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Spinelli and Robert are well on their way to nailing Peter and exposing his crimes. Spinelli hopes that Maxie believes him and realizes she needs to get away from the man she has come to love. GH rumors claim that Maxie will keep her pregnancy a secret from Peter after learning what Spinelli and Robert are about to prove.
Peter’s time is about up and his little charade is about to end. Anna and Maxie will be devastated, but it will be all worth it in the end to have Peter exposed.
Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and his wife Ava Jerome (Maura West) hosted an event at Wyndemere for the unveiling of a very important portrait. Ava has been waiting in anticipation for the day she can unveil Franco’s painting of herself. The time came and went and just like any typical event held at Wyndemere, there was a shocking twist and we are left with a mystery.
General Hospital spoilers have revealed Nikolas and his son Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) are working together to get rid of Ava. Lulu Spencer already leaked their secret to Dustin Phillips (Mark Lawson) while Ava stood by and took it all in. She confronted Nikolas about his and Spencer’s plan and let him know she is onto him and to get ready for her to fight back. But she still needs to know who vandalized her portrait. At the unveiling, Ava’s portrait was painted over in an old Francophrenia type style even though Franco is not the one who vandalized his own art work.
General Hospital rumors suggest there are two main suspects associated with vandalizing the portrait. Nikolas and Spencer. Nikolas can’t stand the hold Ava has over him with their marriage deal. He wants his inheritance and more importantly, he wants it along with his relationship with his son. Since the two Cassadine boys have teamed up, GH rumors indicate Spencer is the one behind the vandalized portrait. Their plan is about to backfire now that Ava has overheard their plan. She isn’t one to just let things slide and now she is ready to fight back- she’s ready for revenge.
Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Dr. Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) have built a life together as a couple and caring for Finn and Hayden Barnes’ daughter, Violet (Jophielle Love). The two of them have also been working on becoming each other’s chosen family. Finn’s brother Detective Chase (Josh Swickard) is an important part of Finn’s life now that the two of them are making up for lost time as half brothers. Anna also has someone important in her life that she wants Finn to accept and love.
Anna’s son, Peter August (Wes Ramsey) isn’t on Finn’s list of favorite people. Finn can see through Peter. Even though he cannot prove his instincts about Peter, or convince Anna that Peter has an agenda, he knows that there is something that’s not right about Anna’s son. This is a sensitive subject for Anna and Finn as Anna blindly defends her son against any accusations from Finn or anyone else. Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) has tried to get Anna to see Peter for who he really is but she just won’t come to terms with the fact that Peter is a lying, manipulative, criminal.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Anna and Finn are taking that next step in planning their wedding. They are getting down to the details of choosing their guest list And going forward with planning their big day. General Hospital rumors hint that Finn and Anna will be torn apart because Anna will continue to refuse to believe Robert, Finn, and anyone else who tries to warn her about who Peter really is.
General Hospital’s Executive Producer, Frank Valentini, took to Twitter to give a hint to what the future holds for this couple. Unfortunately, the GH rumors suggesting Anna and Finn won’t make it down the aisle will most likely come true. In a recent tweet, Valentini suggests that maybe this is the beginning of the end for Anna and Finn.
What will tear them apart? GH rumors hint that it will be Peter who drives them apart since Peter has always been a factor in whether or not Anna and Finn will be able to stick it out.
Will Anna and Finn even make it down the aisle, or will their relationship blow apart after they tie the knot?
The Nurses Ball of General Hospital has been a tradition in Port Charles since 1994. The event is to raise money in support of AIDS/HIV research while honoring the nursing profession and all the hard work and dedication nurses bring to the hospital and patients. Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) is the founder, organizer, and hostess of the big event every year, and every year Lucy doesn’t disappoint when it comes to bringing the excitement. After 2013, The Nurses Ball became an annual charity event.
Although the event typically occurs in May, due to the global pandemic, The Nurses Ball will air this week on General Hospital.
We look forward to seeing Lucy and all The Nurses Ball participants perform their many talents. And it wouldn’t be a classic, General Hospital Nurses Ball, without crazy, dramatic, and shocking, events!
Previously General Hospital Blog reported the GH news regarding the status of Kelly Monaco’s temporary replacement. GH news confirmed Lindsay Hartley is done taping on the set of General Hospital as her run as Sam McCall has come to an end.

Kelly will debut as Sam for the first time since quarantine on Tuesday, August 18th.
Jason and Sam have had their ups and downs and currently going through major crises. For starters, Sam and Jason has been ordered to stay apart due to Sam’s parole, but she recently made a deal with the devil, aka, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), in order to be able to be free to be with Jason when she thought he could be dying. Furthermore, this couple is now facing family troubles as Sam’s decision will adversely affect Jason’s family, the Quartermaines. To top it all off, Jason is dealing with the newest Poet Charles bad guy, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). Renault is the one who put a hit out on Jason and now once he finds out his mission was incomplete, anything goes in regard to how Cyrus will react to the bad news.
Kelly Monaco has her work cut out for her as Sam is front and center. Kelly Monaco always knows how to bring it and we appreciate her hard work and dedication.
Welcome back, Kelly! We are so excited to see you on screen.
Dante Falconeri strife in Port Charles with an concedes identity as he didn’t want it know that he was mobster, Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) son.
General Hospital news reveals Dominic Zamprogna left his role as Dante Falconeri in 2018 by choice. Zamprogna was not feeling confident in his work and questioned his presence there since it was al he had known. Zamprogna explains that he arrived in LA already hired as Dante Falconeri, son of Sonny Corinthos and Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero).
In an interview with Soaps In Depth, Zamprogna discloses that just decision to leave GH in 2018 has much to do with opportunity, (or lack there of). He had felt very busy and his tone was consumed with filming at GH, which gave him no time to explore other opportunities. He said, “I came down to L.A. with that job,” he said of his GH gig. “I knew nobody. I knew no casting directors, nothing.” Dominic Zamprogna also disclosed at at some point he wasn’t feeling confident in his own work- and that he felt he was feeling stressed when performing his scenes. He went on to reveal, “I went from going up on that stage and having a great time to going up on that stage and stressing out and just not feeling like I was doing good work. That’s the other reason why I wanted to step back. I felt like I needed to clear my head. The whole thing that I realized when I left is, ‘Do I really want to act?’ It affected me so much.”
Fast forward to August 2020 and here we have something good come out of this crazy year! Dominic Zamprogna has graced us with his on screen presence as he has returned to General Hospital as Dante Falconeri.
Genera Hospital spoilers and rumors indicated there is much to come to light regarding where Dante has been and where his character will be in terms of his personal work health, his family life, and his career. Dante and Lulu are currently divorced but that doesn’t mean their love story is over. General Hospital rumors hint there will be an emotional reunion between Dante and Lulu, full of love, happiness, anger, sadness, and more. Not to mention, Lulu has moved on with Dustin Phillips (Mark Lawson) and Dante’s old family friend, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Briana Lane, Amanda Setton), is back on Port Charles.
Will Lulu find herself back in Dante’s arms when he finally comes home to his family?
Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Willow Tait Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) can test a little easier now they they know they will be Wiley’s full time parents. The judge has granted full custody to the newlyweds, leaving Wiley’s biological mother with zero rights to her son.
Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) suffered a huge ego blow when she heard the verdict went in Michael’s favor. But Nelle is no dummy and she has already prepared for her great loss. Nelle put a tracker in Wiley’s favorite toy, Mr. Hopsicle, and now she knows every move Wiley makes.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Nelle is prepared with fake ID passports for herself and Wiley. Nelle plans to keep Wiley and the only way to do that is to kidnap her own child.
Michael and Willow’s happiness might be short lived after Nelle strikes yet again.
