Kelly Monaco's character, Sam, on General Hospital was replaced and played by a new actress. Lindsay Hartley made her Sam debut on September 16 and fans were not happy

Miller joined General Hospital in 2014, taking over the role of Jason Morgan/Drew Cain from Steve Burton. He played opposite Monaco’s Sam McCall until he exited the show in 2019. The actor passed away on September 15, 2023, following a battle with bipolar disorder. He was 43.

It isn’t just General Hospital fans that have been shaken by the news that Kelly Monaco is leaving the soap — and reportedly not by choice. Her co-stars have also been rocked by her imminent exit as Sam (who is said to be getting killed off).

Exactly one year after soap vet Billy Miller's death on September 15, 2023, General Hospital star Kelly Monaco has broken her recent social media silence with a heartfelt post.

Fans of General Hospital known as the longest-running entertainment program on ABC, are curious to wonder why Lindsay Hartley replaced Kelly Monaco's Sam McCall character once again. They will be noticing a familiar switch as Lindsay Hartley temporarily will be replacing Kelly Monaco in the role of Sam McCall this week.
