Could Days of Our Lives be the next stop for our beloved actress Kelly Monaco? It’s no news that her character Sam McCall is bidding adieu to Port Charles this fall. And guess what? Sam is even set to meet a shocking end! But hey, don’t fret just yet—because there might be new opportunities for Monaco just around the corner! The soap icon might have a perfect character waiting for her in Salem! Read on to get the full scoop!
What Lies Ahead for Kelly?
Kelly’s entry in Days of Our Lives seems possible, especially when she gets the much-needed support from Greg Vaughan. The actor plays the dashing Eric Brady on Peacock Soap and once portrayed Lucky Spencer on GH. At one point, Sam and Greg’s Lucky were even together. So, Greg took a moment to share his experience working with Kelly.
In a sweet clip, he reflected on their fun-filled days together, reminiscing how “wild and free and crazy” they were. Moreover, he mentioned some iconic moments they shared, like their hilarious camping adventure and a steamy jacuzzi scene. Talk about steamy moments! Vaughan said, “Our time together was memorable and forever a part of my heart. I love my girl Kelly.”
It’s clear these two fellow soap stars had a blast together. Here’s a fun thought: what if Greg could pitch the idea of bringing Kelly on board with DAYS? Wouldn’t that be something? And speaking of DOOL, there’s been quite a shake-up recently with Arianne Zucker leaving her role as Nicole. Additionally, Zucker won’t likely return.
After all, she departed contentiously due to serious allegations against the show’s former executive producer. However, Nicole definitely needs a recast because she’s such an iconic character. With her talent and experience, Kelly would be a fabulous fit, right? We can’t imagine her bringing that classic Sam McCall flair to Nicole’s role!
While we may be saying goodbye to Sam in Port Charles, we might just be welcoming her to Salem soon. Whatever happens, Kelly Monaco’s next chapter is sure to be filled with excitement and plenty of drama. Stay glued to Soap Opera Daily for more exclusive tea on Days of Our Lives celebs!
