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. ❤️
I must thank the amazing #GH fans for all of the love and support they have shown me in the past couple of weeks. It’s been a crazy year and I feel so blessed, grateful and humbled to be able to continue to do what I love… 20yrs and counting with @ABC.. what an honor!!! 🤗 pic.twitter.com/lBDvuKQOL8
The time has come as we have waiting an extra four months to see this year’s annual Nurses Ball event on General Hospital.
Every year disaster strikes as Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) scurries around, trying to save the day. Some things just can’t be salvaged when what happens is so shocking you freeze in your tracks.
Check out the new GH promo for this year’s Nurses Ball event!
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.
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?
Maurice Benard, like many of his co-stars and friends, is happy to be back to work over at General Hospital. The cast and crew returned to filming in July 20th and GH aired it’s first new episode in four months, on August 3rd.
Maurice says it feels great to be back as he has resumed his role as Sonny Corinthos. Benard praises the production at GH, calling it a “well oiled machine.” Take a look at his social media posts, below.
I can’t tell you how great it feels to go back to work, sometimes we take for granted The great things we have. I’m so impressed with how great GH is running the show it’s like a well oiled machine. Get ready for… https://t.co/quRMFyNoqS
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.
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!
Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) is trying to take down mobster, and known drug trafficker, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober). Cyrus has already succeeded in taking out Jordan’s former colleagues who were working undercover with Jordan in a previous case against Cyrus. Cyrus wants revenge.
Last year, Detective Marcus Taggert (Real Andrews) died a hero while trying to help his daughter, Trina Robinson (Sydney Makayla) and her friends, Joss Jacks (Eden McCoy), Cam Webber (William Lipton), and Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab) in an attack on Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jordan’s family put out by Renault.
Since Andrews left GH, clues may have been dropped regarding whether or not Taggert was actually alive. GH rumors suggest Taggert’s death was staged so that Jordan and Taggert could work together as a team, having Taggert behind the scenes, to get a head of Cyrus and take him down.
Jordan contacts someone on a burner phone to discuss current matters. Could Jordan have been reaching out to Taggert this whole time?
The perfect setup was in place for what was about to happened. As soon as Carly (Laura Wright) excepted Jason’s (Steve Burton) proposition for become his next of kin, the universe swept in and suddenly Carly found herself responsible for Jason’s life.
Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) put a hit out on Jason Morgan in an attempt to get close to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Cyrus wants to take over Port Charles and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Jason could have major head trauma and is not being out through testing while his family waits. General Hospital rumors claim Jason could wake up and want to be his old Quartermaine self again, but most fans wonder if Steve Burton is leaving GH.
General Hospital news and spoilers indicated Burton has no intention of leaving General Hospital. GH rumors claim that Steve Burton has actually recently signed a new contract with the Soap Opera.
Though there are many angles this story line can take, Jason dying most likely is not one of them. Rest assured Jason will be around.
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his wife Carly (Laura Wright) are waiting on the news about their best friend Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), alongside his ex-wife, Sam McCall (Lindsay Hartley, Kelly Monaco).
Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) is a ruthless villain who knows no boundaries. He saw Jason and an obstacle and acted on that. Cyrus sabotaged Jason’s motorcycle in an attempted mob hit. Carly has just been appointment Jason’s next of kin and has vowed to do what’s right when it comes to making decisions on Jason’s behalf.
Genera Hospital spoilers and previews reveal Sonny will approach Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor), asking him again in more detail about when he worked on Jason’s bike. Sonny knows Cyrus was there as well, but unfortunately for Brando, he is the one who definitely had his hands on the joke.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Jason’s life is hanging in the balance and Carly must make the tough decisions. But Sonny will be the one to decide what happens to the perpetrator for doing this to Jason. Will Jason overlook Cyrus and blame Brando for what happened to Jason?
