Sam McCall, played by Kelly Monaco, is heading for her General Hospital exit, and fans are already preparing a heartbreaking farewell. After all, Kelly Monaco has been a soap cornerstone for many years, and saying goodbye to her character will be tough.
It’s equally heart-crushing for Monaco’s co-stars who worked with Kelly over the years. One of the people who will feel the impact the most is Kate Mansi, who plays Sam’s on-screen sister, Kristina Corinthos-Davis. Check out how Mansi feels about it!
Davis Family Set for a Meltdown
The General Hospital actress addressed Monaco’s upcoming departure during a recent interview with Michael Fairman. Mansi also cleared the air regarding any lingering confusion about the recasting situation. Earlier, speculations hit the ceiling when Lindsay Hartley stepped in as Monaco’s temporary replacement at one point.
However, Kate confirmed that Hartley is no longer part of the storyline. “Lindsay Hartley is not coming back. Kelly is finishing out, and I do have some scenes with Kelly,” she revealed. The soap starlet added, “Working with her (Kelly) has been great.” That’s not all, as she also went on to talk about her admiration for Monaco.
Moreover, Mansi recalled how Monaco welcomed her with open arms when she joined the ABC drama. Despite feeling sad about Kelly’s departure, Mansi is hella confident about her co-star’s future. She shared, “Kelly is super talented and going to go on to do really great things.” As for Sam’s exit, rumors have been swirling that it could be tragic. Oh no!
Furthermore, GH fans have been speculating about the possibility of Sam being killed off because the soap has dropped subtle hints. Sam might dive into a dangerous river to retrieve the gun Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) discarded. While nothing has been officially confirmed, Sam’s departure will badly hit her family, especially the Davis sisters.
Finally, Mansi hinted at major drama ahead for the Davis family. She teased that the situation could either tear the family apart and be “scorched earth” or ultimately bring them together. Given the emotional gravity of the situation, we may see a combination of both. After all the blame game and chaos, the family will eventually find a way to unite in their grief.
