Good news Sam fans! Soaps In Depth has reported that Kelly Monaco contacted them to say she re-signed her contract for another year.

Daytime Emmy Awards Executive Producer, Jim Romanovich, joined the conversation by tweeting: “Kelly Monaco is not going anywhere. I have heard from a source inside GH that she has re-signed.”

Updated August 8:

After rumors spread that Kelly Monaco may be leaving GH on Friday, her co-stars took to the Twitterverse to comment.

Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis):

“4 the love of God, she is not going anywhere. Don't believe everything u read.... suckers..and I say that with so much love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Kelly Monaco is not leaving.”

Greg Vaughan (Lucky):

“As far as Kellys status? I'm not aware of anything!! She looks beautiful as always & had a lit [sic] of good laughs this week!!”

Originally posted August 7:

Soap Opera Digest is reporting that General Hospital has sent out a casting call for the character of Sam McCall, currently being played by Kelly Monaco.

Apparently the role is described as, “early 30s, female, Caucasian, brunette, sexy, dynamic and fiery…SERIES REGULAR. This is a character who has been established on the show.”

That description certainly fits Sam, but is Kelly really leaving the show? Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but Soaps.com will keep you up to date on this matter.

I hope this isn't true. I'm a General Hospital and Kelly Monaco fan. I don't know if I'll continue to watch GH if and when she leaves. When her screen time was reduced last year and when she was doing Peeps, I only watched when she was on.

If she is leaving, I wish her the very best.

I enjoy the charcther of Sam very much, and Kelly has been a favorite of mine, since she was on Port charles, if it's her wish, good luck Kelly, she will be miss, GH is history for me, and I been watching for year's, hey Phil was the hot guy, and Jessie was the head nurse, and it was in black and white. her charcther is what kept me watching. no more GH for me.

I really hope Kelly doesnt leave Gh this is the second time that the rumor of Kemo leaving gh has scared the fans.If she leaves the Gh writers better Look damn hard to find someone that is even half as good has kemo cause it is impossible to find someone to play Sam as good as kelly does.If we get a recast for Sam that actress is gonna get hell from the Sam fans i can say cause im a Sam fan.If kemo does decided to Leave i wish her the best of luck and she will be greatly missed.But like i said i hope this is just another rumor and if so it is established as a false rumor soon cause the sam fans are dying here

I certainly hope that she does not leave, but if she does I wish her the best. And if the distrubing spoilers I've read to destroy Sam's character AGAIN, are true, I can't say that I blame her. But there will certainly be no reason for me to continue to watch GH

If the circumstances surrounding this rumor turn out to be true, I certainly would not blame Ms. Monaco for deciding to leave GH. She is a wonderful actress and I have enjoyed her as Sam McCall. I wish her nothing but the best whatever she is doing...
That being said, if this rumor IS true and KeMO is leaving GH I certainly hope that Sam will NOT be recast. No actress, no matter how talented, will ever be able to play the role as well as KeMo has/does and I do not know if I will be able to sit and watch someone attempt it.
This stunt could causing a big problem for GH, if any other fans of KeMo/Sam feel the same as I, this will end up costing GH many fans, something this soap cannot afford...
