General Hospital fans know that Sam McCall died during the soap’s firing on Kelly Monaco, and we may have just heard his final words about his soap bubbles. Sam said an emotional goodbye to his friends and family before surgery.
He donates part of his liver to Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins). The harrowing scenes appeared to be more than a temporary farewell until after surgery. So these Thursday scenes could have been Sam’s final speaking moments on the long-running ABC soap opera.
The news that Kelly Monaco would be leaving General Hospital came as a shock to fans. It has been a fan favorite for over two decades. While the actress said her exit made no sense, the series insisted it was because they didn’t write Sam out “for story reasons.”
Monaco said his firing was an act of retaliation. And he promised a full statement on the matter in the future. As Sam was taken into surgery, his last words were “I love you.” And he raised the hand gesture expressing these words.
He did this while rounding the corner from General Hospital. This may have been his last conscious moments on the show. And Monaco later confirmed that the moment was unscripted. The emotional scene shows his dedication and professionalism.
General Hospital: Kelly Monaco’s Emotional Farewell – Sam McCall
The embrace between Kelly Monaco and Bradford Anderson (Damian Spinelli) was heartbreaking. The actors touched on the deep bond between their characters. And the fact that they won’t be working together on General Hospital anymore.
Some viewers questioned why Sam’s final moments included Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), but their presence was a nod to the rich history between the characters.

GH: Monaco’s Suspicious Submission as Fans Hope for a Respectful Exit
What we saw on General Hospital on Thursday may have been Kelly Monaco’s last speaking moments as Sam McCall. And fans were left heartbroken as Sam McCall said emotional goodbyes to other characters, including his children.
Now Sam could die during surgery. Or on the operating table. Or from complications. Also, could Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) be involved? There’s a leak that says it could tamper with the post-surgery serum. We’ll have to see what GH has in store.
Sam’s brother Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) performs the surgery. And if he died at the table while he was working, he would be crushed. Many General Hospital fans are also questioning why some characters aren’t there.
Mainly Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Kristina Corinthos (Kristen Vaganos). Also missing was Molly Lansing (Kate Mansi). Why did the show debut her in this way? Maybe because they are newer players and not tied to his deep history. Who knows?
Fans are hoping the show will give Sam McCall a respectful send-off. He deserves one. And attention should also be paid to the sacrifice of the character. Also his dedication to General Hospital. Kelly Monaco’s elegance speaks volumes. Viewers want to see his talent in another drama in the future.
