Kelly Monaco and Billy Miller pictured in a General Hospital publicity photo in 2019. On September 15, 2024, the one-year anniversary of the heartbreaking death of three-time Daytime Emmy winner

General Hospital fans were surprised when Lindsay Hartley appeared on the September 16 episode, once again filling in for Kelly Monaco.

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.

General Hospital star Kelly Monaco remembered her former co-star and friend, Billy Miller, on the first anniversary of his death. The actress broke her social media silence to share a sweet photo of the two of them behind the scenes, and she made a promise.

Lindsay Hartley is set to replace Kelly Monaco as Sam McCall on General Hospital — for the fourth time.
