How GH Could Bring Kelly Monaco Back After Firing
Devoted fans of Kelly Monaco did everything they could to get the show to reverse the decision to fire her. They started a petition, put a billboard in Times Square and had a truck circle the lot in California where GH is filmed. The tactics didn’t work, but is there still hope Kelly Monaco could return to the soap?
Soap Hub created a fictional scenario that could bring Kelly Monaco back to GH. But not as Sam, who is pretty dead by soap standards. Instead, they suggested that Alexis could have given birth to twins and Helena kept on secret all these years. It’s certainly been done before on soaps, many times.
Fans React To Idea
One GH fan took the idea to Reddit. While many people want Kelly Monaco back, they didn’t like the idea of yet another twin. Check out some of the comments:
- “I’m under the impression Frank was ok with her leaving. If that’s true, he won’t bring her back.”
- “They did it with Franco, Ava ,and Silas Clay!! I hope so I love her acting”
- “Sam had an unrelated doppelgänger in the 2000’s, it’s an easy switch for the Cassadines, no long lost twin needed”
- “I would love to see Kelly back. But it ain’t gonna happen unless Frank goes.”
- “If Kelly were to come back I rather it be as a new character. Maybe someone Jason met while he working with Cates.”
- “I wouldn’t want a long lost twin because poor Scout and Danny would be so distraught seeing a lookalike of their mother but it isn’t her. I rather Sam come back as Sam.”
- “We don’t need another twin storyline”
- “Honestly, I’m kind of curious if they’re not already trying to bring her back somehow, just because she’s suddenly so quiet on socials.”
- “Omg I am so sick of secret twins. When half your show’s characters have secret twins there’s a problem”
- “Ugh no. I’m so tired of long-lost twins.”
What do you think of the idea of bringing Kelly Monaco back as Sam’s long-lost twin?
