General Hospital
Why did Sam leaveGeneral Hospitalwhen Kelly Monaco herself seemed disappointed with the decision?
However, there are often times where someone remains on the show for many years.
Leslie Charleson has played Monica Quartermaine since 1977, closing in on 50 years.
Sam was introduced as a con artist and never really gave up her bad girl ways.
Her death played into the engrossing role of mobsters and villains onGeneral Hospital.
She had just revealed her engagement to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn).

This was quickly assumed to be an embolism and a heart attack.
However, that wasn’t the end of the story.
There were some questions about the timing of Sam’s death.
It looked like there might be a killer in the mix.
That turned out to be what happened.
A flashback then showed Cyrus entering Sam’s room and injecting the vial of Digitalis into her IV bag.
This didn’t matter in the end, as Lulu woke up from her coma after Sam’s death.
Cyrus then stabbed Dex in the back, and after having surgery, Dex died.
It was almost assured Cyrus murdered Dex to cover up his part in Sam’s death.
However,when looking at why Kelly Monaco leftGeneral Hospital,it had nothing to do with that.
The showrunners told Monaco they were letting her go, and then they killed her character.
It has been a wild ride, and it will not be the last that you see of me.
She was responding to someone who claimed she had no “primary roles” on the soap.
When Billy Miller was fired, Sams storyline stopped.
Stripping Sam of every characteristic she had.
Something I worked for decades to build…
Slowly dismantling her, into a character that I did not recognize, let alone the audience.
Call it what you will… retaliation at it [sic] finest.
I will give a proper statement.
The truth will set you free.
However, there is nothing scheduled for her acting-wise since leaving the show.
