The much-hyped “Bad Bunnies” podcast featuring General Hospital alum Kelly Monaco and longtime pal Shanna Moakler has been canceled. The podcast, first announced in March, was meant to be a bold, unfiltered space for Hollywood secrets and pop culture tea—but it’s officially off the table now.
Moakler Confirms Podcast Cancellation on Instagram
Shanna Moakler broke the news quietly but clearly through a fan interaction on Instagram. When a follower asked about the podcast’s status, Moakler replied, “We are not doing it. She is dealing with some personal things.” Instead, she revealed plans to start a podcast with Claudia Jordan.
Jordan, known for shows like Deal or No Deal and The Real Housewives of Atlanta, is expected to bring her own flavor to the mix. But fans still expressed disappointment over the lost Bad Bunnies concept, which had promised untamed energy and raw, behind-the-scenes stories from two former Playboy Playmates.
In a follow-up post, another fan asked again, clearly hoping there was still a chance. Moakler responded, “It’s not looking like it at the moment. I think Kellie is working on some personal family things.” However, one particular comment caught attention.
A fan mentioned how excited they were for Bad Bunnies, to which Moakler responded, “I was too we would have had a blast but she has a ton of work oops which is great!” That little “oops” set off speculation. Was Moakler accidentally hinting that Kelly Monaco has a new job?
Monaco’s Exit from General Hospital Still Fresh
This podcast update comes months after Monaco’s emotional General Hospital exit. Her final appearance as Sam McCall aired on November 1, 2024. In the episode, Sam was shockingly killed off after being injected with digitalis by Cyrus Renault, a twist that triggered a new serial killer storyline.
A tearful behind-the-scenes farewell video went viral at the time, showing Monaco thanking her cast and crew. It marked the end of her two-decade run on the soap. Fans have since speculated about her next move, hoping for another daytime comeback.
What Could Be Next for Kelly Monaco?
Earlier this year, rumors swirled that Monaco might jump ship to Days of our Lives. However, a representative from the NBC soap quickly denied it, saying bluntly, “Not true.” That left the podcast as Monaco’s only confirmed post-GH project—until now.
Moakler’s slip might just confirm what many hoped: Kelly Monaco may already be working on something exciting. Whether it’s a return to TV, a film project, or another surprise, her fans are ready to support her.
Meanwhile, Bad Bunnies was set to be raw and real—where nothing was off-limits. The podcast’s name was inspired by Monaco’s Playmate of the Month title from April 1997 and Moakler’s from December 2001. But now, the only thing unfiltered is the disappointment from fans who won’t get to hear their Hollywood tales.
The podcast may be off, but Kelly Monaco’s future is still buzzing. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more General Hospital updates and tea. Until next time, soap fam!
