Friday the 13th is known to be an unlucky day and for General Hospital star Kelly Monaco it certainly lived up to its name – her home went up in flames. Monaco told TMZ that although she’s been part of some “pretty wild stories on set”, none of the scripts compare with “living through a massive fire” at her home.

“Something as little as a cigarette butt can cause casualties and devastation,” the star cautioned after the blaze. In an unfortunate twist of fate, Kelly Monaco’s (Sam) off-screen life became as dramatic as a General Hospital storyline when a fire started at her home in Sherman Oaks. According...

Ask any actor, and they’ll tell ya: It’s tough to step into someone else’s role. Perhaps even more so when, as in the case of Lindsay Hartley, you’re not really taking over, you’re just filling in for a bit. But we suspect that pretty much all General Hospital viewers will agree that the alum of Passions, All My Children and Days of Our Lives spectacularly rose to the occasion as she once again spelled Kelly Monaco as Sam.

Sam McCall is usually the centre of chaos on General Hospital, but fans had to do a double-take when she appeared in today’s (3 February) episode. That’s because a new actor seems to have been re-cast in her place, as Lindsay Hartley stepped into the role. Kelly has...

Lindsay Hartley will once again step in for Kelly Monaco on “General Hospital,” appearing as Sam McCall over “a handful of episodes” beginning Thursday, February 3.

Liz and Sam haven’t always seen eye to eye on GENERAL HOSPITAL, and many fans have taken their side in the “Liason” versus “JaSam” battle, but Rebecca Herbst insists that she and co-star Kelly Monaco are very close in real life. And she even wishes Elizabeth and Sam could be closer on the soap!

Social media can be a great way for soap stars to stay in touch with their fans by sharing what they’ve been up to in both their personal and professional lives. Unfortunately, social media also allows the fans to comment on the stars’ posts, which often brings out the worst in people as they hide behind the anonymity of their keyboards. GENERAL HOSPITAL star Kelly Monaco (Sam) is on Twitter and Instagram, though she has not been particularly active on either platform of late.

Soap stars don’t always have the time to interact with their fans on social media, what with their busy schedules when it comes to playing your favorite characters on TV, but when they do it really means a lot, particularly to their fans. “General Hospital” star Kelly Monaco (Sam McCall) recently took to her Twitter page to note that while she’s not always able to respond to everyone, she does read her fan’s comments and their support of her and her character means a lot.

“Your support does not go unnoticed,” the actress assured her followers. Kelly Monaco may not be as enamored of social media as some of her soap-star peers, especially not since October of 2020, when online bullying inspired her to stand up to the jerks “who have hate in their heart, [enough] to comment and say such negative [bleep] on my page” (in a since-whittled-down Instagram post).

Social media can be a great way for celebrities to stay in touch with their fans, and while she may not use it as much as some of her GENERAL HOSPITAL co-stars, Kelly Monaco (Sam) took a moment to let her supporters know just how much they are appreciated. “Hello my dreamy Sam fans,” she tweeted. “I have been reading through a lot of the posts here. And I want all of you to know that I do read each and every one of them. I may not answer… obviously. But your support does not go unnoticed.” She also included the hashtag “#BestFansEver.”

On Friday, General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco was feeling very grateful for reaching an important milestone with the show and the support her fans have provided her. On Twitter, the actress posted how appreciative she was to have appeared on 2,000 episodes of the show and thanked all the people who posted congratulatory Tweets, talking about their favorite memories of Sam McCall.
