Big Reveal! Frank Valentini Admits Mistake, Kelly Monaco Returns in October, General Hospital Spoilers

Big news is shaking up the world of General Hospital! Executive producer Frank Valentini has publicly admitted to a major misstep in the handling of fan-favorite Kelly Monaco’s storyline — and he’s now promising to make things right. Even better? Kelly Monaco is set to officially return to Port Charles this October.

For months, fans have voiced frustration over the absence of Sam McCall, a core character whose sudden exit left many storylines hanging. Valentini recently confessed that the creative team may have underestimated how strongly viewers connected to Sam. “We didn’t give her the story she deserved,” he admitted, acknowledging that the decision left fans feeling shortchanged.

Now, the tides are turning. Sources confirm that Kelly Monaco’s comeback will coincide with a dramatic new arc, one that places Sam right back in the center of Port Charles’ biggest mysteries. Spoilers suggest her return will tie directly into unresolved plotlines involving Drew, Jason, and the ongoing mob wars.

Fans have already taken to social media to celebrate the news, with hashtags like #SamIsBack trending within hours of the announcement. Many see Valentini’s admission as a rare but welcome moment of accountability from the production side of the long-running soap.

With Kelly Monaco’s highly anticipated return just weeks away, October is shaping up to be a game-changing month for General Hospital. Viewers can expect explosive twists, long-awaited reunions, and the kind of high-stakes drama only Sam McCall can deliver.
