Taking to Instagram on Sunday, October 6, Kelly shared a snap of her character Sam McCall’s final scene, noting how it was her “final scene with the Davis girls.”

In the snap, Kelly could be seen with co-stars Kate Mansi, Nancy Lee Grahn, and Kristen Vaganos.

“Still doesn’t make any sense to me,” she added, touching on her firing from the beloved daytime program.

Co-star Nancy Lee commented on the post, writing, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.’ — Albert Einstein.

“I love you. All will be well. There are some things a TV mother just knows.”

At the end of August, it was revealed that Kelly would be exiting the soap as the beloved Sam McCall, with her exit scenes still yet to air.

After more than two decades on the ABC soap opera, reports emerged in August that Kelly’s character would be killed off.

When the news came out, it was also claimed that “it wasn’t Kelly’s decision to leave” the soap opera, and she was “blindsided” by the news, as per Soap Opera Network.

After filming more than 2,000 episodes for the soap, fans were devastated.

Kelly joined the show in 2003 after working on the spinoff series Port Charles, where she portrayed Livvie Locke from 2000 to 2003.

When Kelly joined General Hospital as Sam McCall, she was introduced as a con artist.

Kelly’s character is the biological daughter of mob boss Julian Jerome (played by William deVry) and attorney Alexis Davis (played by Nancy Lee Grahn).

DISAPPOINTED FANS

When the news of Kelly’s character being axed emerged, fans were up in arms.

“This is a sad day. I won’t be watching once she leaves. She is the reason I am watching as is,” penned one.

They added, “The writing for the characters we love is unrecognizable, shows no growth this is why the ratings are down please get it together, figure it out so Sam stays.”

While another said, “This is an utterly ridiculous decision for GH to make.

“I can’t believe they’re doing this to Kelly Monaco, a veteran actress, and her character. Sam is very much needed on the show.”

LONGEST-RUNNING SOAP OPERA

General Hospital is reported to be the longest-running serial produced in Hollywood and the longest-running entertainment program in ABC television history.

The series follows the lives of the diverse and evolving citizens of the fictional town of Port Charles in upstate New York.

According to the description of the show, “the glamour and excitement of those who have come to find their destinies in the familiar seaport town intertwine with the lives, loves and fortunes of beloved faces.

“Love, danger and mind-blowing plot twists abound.”
