Hey, General Hospital fans, we have got a brand new leak that may be about fan-favorite Kelly Monaco and her now-dead character, Sam McCall, coming back. The leak also hints that a leading man is going to be written off of the ABC soap.
This is a brand new leak from our source who is historically very reliable. They have a really good track record. And a lot of the leaks they’ve shared have been right on the money. Of course, not every leak pans out, but this is the same leaker that revealed Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) was Sam McCall’s killer way before it came out on the show.
We also leaked through them that Monica Quartermaine’s (Leslie Charleson) sister was Erika Slezak and that Kirsten Storms was taking a long leave of absence. To be crystal clear, this is not a spoiler yet—it’s a rumor, a leak, and a possibility. But it is a good one.
Reliable Sources Hint at Frank Valentini Reaching Out to Former General Hospital Star
I love to share leaks with you guys. And I’d be thrilled if this really happened. First, let’s talk about whether Sam is coming back. And then we will discuss the actor’s exit. The rumor doesn’t name names, but it refers to a leading lady, her former scene partner, and the executive producer.
That last bit is easy to figure out because the leak is referring to Frank Valentini. He is the guy behind the big decisions at General Hospital, including who gets hired, who gets fired. And who gets rehired after they were fired.
Rumor has it that showrunner Frank Valentini has been reaching out to a leading lady and “eating crow” to get her to come back. The leak went on to say that the actress’s former leading man is camped out in the executive’s office pressuring him about it.
Analyzing the Scene Partners: Could Steve Burton or Dom Zamprogna Influence the GH Return?
The big question is: who is the leading lady that’s the subject of the rumor, and who’s the scene partner? It could very well be Kelly Monaco, and the leak may be about her possible return to General Hospital as Sam.
If the rumor is true and it is about Kelly Monaco, there are two former scene partners who could be the ones bugging executive producer Frank Valentini. One could be Steve Burton, because Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sam (Kelly Monaco) were a super-couple and they were each other’s primary scene partners before Burton left a few years ago.
Before his return, however, Kelly Monaco was paired with Dom Zamprogna. There’s a big pile of Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Sam fans out there, so maybe it’s Dom who wants Kelly back since Dante’s not paired with anybody right now. He and Sam were great together and had a lot of followers.
The Save Kelly Movement and the “Eating Crow” Rumors Surrounding Sam McCall
The rumor says that on the Friday before Christmas, the producer swallowed his pride and called to ask the actress to come back to the ABC soap opera. Her scene partner has reportedly begged the executive producer to bring her back. Another red flag pointing to Kelly Monaco is the phrase “eating crow.”
That implies apologies and a reason to beg. That would make sense given how she was abruptly fired and Sam was killed off after more than two decades on the show. Bringing back Kelly Monaco would be a massive boost to ratings. Her fans haven’t given up hope.
Since the word came out last year that Kelly Monaco was leaving General Hospital, fans have used petitions, a billboard in Times Square, and even a truck with Sam’s face on it to try and get the powers that be to stop. Even now, hashtags like #IStandWithKelly and #KellyMonacoNewYearsWish are still trending.
How GH Could Resurrect Sam McCall from the Dead
Kelly Monaco never did the tell-all she promised. She said she was going to say what really happened behind the scenes that led to her exit. Maybe she decided not to throw that bombshell in case she had the chance to come back one day. As for bringing Sam back from the dead, it is totally plausible.
General Hospital just resurrected Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and Nathan West (Ryan Paevey). We’ve seen Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) and Peter August (Wes Ramsey) potentially survive as well. The same people who saved Britt might have saved Sam to use her as leverage against Jason.
Or, the WSB might have saved Sam since Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) wants Jason to join them as an agent. Plus, it would be great to have her back so she could snatch Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) away from her toxic ex, Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison).
Shocking General Hospital Exit: Is Harrison Chase Leaving Port Charles?
Even if the leak is true and Frank Valentini is calling Kelly Monaco, that doesn’t mean she would agree to it. We will have to see if this goes from rumor to spoiler. Now, let’s talk about the leading man who the leak said is leaving. Rumor also has it that Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) is being written off of General Hospital. If so, that would be very interesting.
Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Chase are in a rough spot in their marriage. He is devoted to exonerating Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), and he thinks Michael—Brook Lynn’s family—is the likely shooting culprit. Chase and Brook Lynn also put their adoption plans on hold, which is another source of frustration. There have even been hints that Dante and Brook Lynn might spark.
We could also see Chase injured in the line of duty, given that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is about to make Port Charles a lot more dangerous. For now, the leak is simply that we may finally get Sam back and we may lose Chase. This is a rumor and a leak, not yet a spoiler. I’ll let you know if we get official word on any of it.
