General Hospital fans are buzzing again as rumors swirl around Kelly Monaco’s next big move. After her quiet exit from the soap months ago, a surprising podcast shakeup hints she may have landed a new acting job. Is Monaco finally moving on for good?
Kelly Monaco’s Silent Exit From General Hospital Still Stings
Kelly Monaco’s departure from General Hospital was far from quiet in the fan community. Though she left without much fanfare, viewers were quick to notice her absence and express their disappointment. Many fans speculated that her exit wasn’t on the best of terms.
Insiders hinted at a fallout between Monaco and the show’s creative team, though no one confirmed details. It was clear something went wrong behind the scenes, and her exit left a massive void, especially for longtime Sam McCall fans.
The Podcast Switch-Up Raises Eyebrows
Monaco’s return to the spotlight was expected through her collaboration with Shanna Moakler. The two were set to launch the Bad Bunnies podcast, a project hyped as unfiltered, bold, and entertaining. However, that partnership quietly ended before it even started.
In a recent announcement, Moakler revealed a new co-host—Claudia Jordan—and a complete podcast rebranding. Now titled the Wicked Awesome Podcast, the show has taken a fresh direction. Fans were quick to ask, “Where’s Kelly?” And Moakler’s response? “She has other work opportunities.”
That single sentence from Moakler ignited speculation across soap circles and fan groups. “Other work opportunities” could mean many things—but fans are leaning toward an exciting acting gig. Whether it’s a film, another soap, or even primetime, the curiosity is real.
Monaco has kept a low profile in recent months, avoiding interviews and social media teases. Her silence is only adding fuel to the fire. Given her talents and loyal fanbase, it’s no surprise many believe something major is coming.
Was Her Exit From General Hospital FINAL After All?
Though Monaco has exited General Hospital, many fans still hoped for a surprise return. But if the podcast change is any clue, she may have closed that chapter for good. While her exit wasn’t formally addressed on-screen, her character’s absence left storylines unresolved.
The podcast opportunity could have been a stepping stone back into the spotlight. Instead, her withdrawal signals that she’s investing energy elsewhere. That “elsewhere” is what fans want to know most about—and soon.
Social media remains divided. Some fans are hopeful she’s moving on to something bigger. Others feel disappointed about how her General Hospital run ended. Many believe she deserved a better send-off for playing Sam McCall for over 20 years. There’s no denying Kelly Monaco still has the star power to land a meaningful role. Her fans want answers, and most importantly, they want to support whatever she takes on next—soap or not.
Kelly Monaco’s exit from General Hospital may have felt unfinished, but her future looks promising. Whether it’s a primetime project or another soap, she’s clearly not done. Stay tuned for more updates on her next chapter—only on Soap Opera Daily.
