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.
Sam McCall has been looking a little different lately. After a lengthy hiatus from film production, the cast and crew of General Hospital have been back at work since July 20th. Although her do-stars were back at Prospect Studios, filming new scenes for GH, Kelly Monaco did not return to work for a few weeks after.
Lindsay Hartley stepped in for Kelly Monaco as a temporary replacement for the character, Sam McCall. Last week, GH Blog news reported, Lindsay Hartley addressed the fans in a social media post expressing gratitude for the opportunity to play Sam.
Previously, General Hospital Blog reported that Kelly Monaco is back to work and has been taping new scenes for GH. General Hospital previews show Kelly Monaco’s new scenes will air this week. Sam and Jason have a lot to iron out after Sam made the decision to make a deal with Valentin. Little did she know that her actions would effect the entire Quarantine family and their company, ELQ. Jason is still a Quartermaine by blood, and although he chooses a different path in life, he remains parry of the family. Can Sam and Jason find a way to help the Quartermaines overrule Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart)?
Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) spent much of 2019 taking Ls left and right. He found out he was not a true Cassadine and that his only connection to the family (and the fortune) was his mother, Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers).
Valentin lost his love, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), when he and Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) were exposed for fraud. Valentin had put Sasha up to pretending she was Nina’s long lost daughter, and when Nina finally accepted that Valentin was behind the deception, she had to turn away from their relationship and move forward. Jasper Jax (Ingo Rademacher) was there for Nina with his shoulder to cry on, and support given.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Valentin is on the up and up since he has had a stroke of good luck lately. He was able to convince Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Briana Lane, Amanda Setton) and Sam McCall (Lindsay Hartley, Kelly Monaco), to give him the shares and/or proxy rights in which they are in control. Brook Lynn have Valentin her shares, and along w that her proxy, in exchange for a promising career boost. Sam didn’t give up Danny and Scout’s shares of ELQ, but she did give up their proxy to Valentin in exchange for freedom to be with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).
General Hospital spoilers and rumors claim Valentin’s good fortune will continue, not only in the financial aspect of his life, but in his love life as well. It’s no secret that Valentin is still in love with Nina but Nina has moved on with Jax. Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) made it clear to Valentin that Nina and Jax are definitely a couple.
GH spoilers hint that Valentin is out to win Nina back and that means stepping over Jax in the process. Valentin left taking Ls behind him and is now focusing on winning at love. The problem is that Valentin doesn’t go after what he wants like a normal person would, with hard work while practicing ethics. Jax is in his way and there’s no telling what Valentin would do to get Jax away from Nina.
Valentin is a dangerous man and thought nothing of shooting Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma). Who knows what he is capable of when it comes to getting what he wants. And right now, Nina is what he wants. Jax better watch his back.
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.
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Kelly Monaco is back taping at Prospect Studios and will resume her role as Sam McCall, alongside Daytime’s finest, Steve Burton, Maurice Benard, Laura Wright, and more.
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.
Soap vet, Lindsay Hartley stepped into the role of Sam McCall for Kelly Monaco as the first few weeks of film production resumed. Kelly Monaco is already taping and Hartley’s scenes are about wrapped up.
Lindsay received rave reviews as her portrayal of Sam McCall, causing many fans to rally for her to stay.
General Hospital fans have voiced their opinions on both sides, making it known they want that familiar face to return. As others hope Hartley can join the cast of GH as another character. Kelly Monaco will be returning to her role she originated in October of 2003.
Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) wants all of Port Charles to believe he is an upstanding citizen and has gone to great lengths to make sure DA Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) makes it known that his reputation has been salvaged and his name cleared regarding any involvement in prior felonies. Jordan’s husband and P.I., Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner), is sick and tired of watching Cyrus manipulate and threaten his wife. Curtis is taking his P.I. skills and using them to take matters with Cyrus into his own hands.
General Hospital rumors have been flying regarding a well known villain who may be making a comeback. Sebastian Roché steppes into the role of Jerry Jacks in 2007. The role was previously played by Julian Stone. Roché went on to play brother to Jasper “Jax” Jacks (Ingo Rademacher), on and off until 2015. It’s been five years since Port Charles has been rattled by Jerry.
There’s a new villain in Port Charles and General Hospital spoilers reveal Cyrus Renault is not working alone. Curtis uncovered there is someone being hidden by Renault on Wilson Street, and this person is a big enough deal to make Cyrus uneasy at Curtis’ knowledge of the situation.
General Hospital news and spoilers have previously revealed Renault has a partner overseas. Perhaps that overseas partner has made their way back to Port Charles and Renault can’t afford to have them exposed. What will Cyrus do if Curtis keeps pressing the issue?
Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) was the victim of a hit on him that was put out by Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober).
General Hospital spoilers reveal Renault’s mission is incomplete as Jason Morgan is alive and wakes up and is talking, but is confused. In the GH preview for what’s next, Jason is seen asking why he is here in the hospital.
Things are much different now that Sam has signed Danny and Scout’s proxy rights over to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) in exchange for her freedom to be with Jason. Will she tell Jason how she is able to stay with him? Will Jason even remember Sam?
Jason Morgan has suffered head trauma and has just woken up after surgery. It’s anyone’s guess if Jason will wake with old memories as his life as Jason Quartermaine, or if he will stay true to the Jason Morgan personal. GH rumors hint that Jason Morgan is here to stay and ready to endure the danger and drama Cyrus Renault is about to unleash.
Lindsay Hartley has stepped into the role of the feisty fighter, Sam McCall as a temporary recast. Though Lindsay’s portrayal of Sam won’t be long term, GH fans have already opened their hearts to the actress and are embracing her work.
General Hospital rumors hint fans would love to see Hartley snag a new role on General Hospital. The possibility of a new role being created for Hartley has not yet been confirmed or reported as GH news.
The GH newcomer posted on Instagram a message defending her ex-husband, Justin Hartley. The, This Is Us star and his wife, Chrishell Strause are in the middle of a domestic dispute as they finalize their divorce. Lindsay Hartley took to social media to defend her ex-husband and clear the air on any after Chrishell had some choice things to say about him.
Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) is using a burner phone that cannot be tracked to contact someone who’s identity is being kept under wraps.
Genera Hospital spoilers and rumors have hinted that Marcus Taggert (Real Andrews) is actually still alive and that his death was faked to let Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) believe he was ahead of the PCPD in this turf war. If Taggert’s death was staged, he and Jordan could be working together in order to blindside Cyrus and take down his organization for good.
Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor) happened to be at the right place at the right time when Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his family were targeted by Cyrus. Coincidence? Mostly likely not. Brand didn’t just happen to be right there at that exact time when the explosion blasted, putting Sonny’s loved ones in harms way. Although Brando was there to help save the day. Sam McCall (Lindsay Hartley, Kelly Monaco) called out Brando on all his coincidental mishaps surrounding her family, including what has happened to Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).
One of these men could be working with Jordan to take down Cyrus. Which is it? Is Brando on the right side of the law and a traitor to Sonny either way? Or is he truly just out to get Cyrus while protecting his Corinthos family? Or is Taggert really alive? Jordan and Taggert were partners before the attack. Did they plan this all along? Will Trina get her father back when all is revealed?
So many questions! Make sure to watch General Hospital and keep up here with GH Blog!
